It’s funny most business owners think big problems slow them down, but it’s usually the tiny repetitive tasks that eat their day. A missed call here. A follow-up message there. A “quick reminder” they plan to send later. Individually they seem harmless… but together they drain hours, energy, and momentum. Once you automate these micro-tasks, your whole workflow feels lighter. You start getting more done without working harder, just smarter. So I’m curious:What’s one “small” task in your business that secretly takes way too much of your time?

I was talking to a business owner the other day who said: “I’d rather do it myself than teach someone else or set up a system.” Sounds familiar, right? The problem is, doing everything yourself keeps you busy but stuck.Even the most motivated people hit a wall when repetitive tasks pile up, calls, follow-ups, scheduling, updates… it never ends. The solution isn’t just hiring or delegating; it’s building systems that work without you.Automation doesn’t replace you, it frees you to focus on the high-value work that actually grows your business. Here’s a question for the community: What’s one repetitive task in your business you’d love to never touch again?

lately, I’ve noticed something interesting while helping different business owners with their systems.They’re not lacking effort… they’re lacking clarity. Busy doesn’t always mean productive. A lot of people are spending their days reacting instead of leading, answering calls, handling messages, chasing follow-ups, fixing the same problems every week. But when you zoom out, most of that chaos is coming from processes that haven’t been defined (or automated). Once you build simple systems, even basic ones, the noise drops, and progress suddenly feels predictable again. Question for you all: What’s one “busy work” task you wish you could remove from your week forever?

I had a chat with a business owner last week who said, “I feel like everything stops unless I do it.” That hit hard, because I’ve been there too. Sometimes the biggest bottleneck in a business isn’t tools or leads… it’s you. The truth is, most of what slows us down can be automated or delegated, calls, follow-ups, scheduling, client updates. Once you remove yourself from those repetitive loops, growth stops feeling heavy. If you stepped out of your business for 48 hours, what’s one thing that would instantly break?

Hey everyone 👋 Building a WhatsApp booking chatbot for barbershops (N8N + Supabase). Each salon gets their own number, all routed to one centralized workflow. Currently using Meta Direct with Partner Shared model, but the onboarding is killing me - barbershop owners need to create Meta Business Manager, navigate WABA setup, grant partner access... and I'm still figuring out the credential management myself (system user tokens vs app tokens, rotation, which exact credentials to use for each client). It's intimidating non-tech clients, takes 3-14 days per salon, and honestly the credential complexity is a headache even on my end. I'm pre-incorporation, trying to validate with my first 5-10 paying clients in the next 2 months. Considering switching to a BSP like Spoki for simpler client onboarding and clearer API credentials on my side. Worried about per-conversation fees, vendor lock-in, and rebuilding N8N integration from scratch though. All my messages are user-initiated responses (free with Meta), so messaging costs aren't the issue - it's the onboarding friction + credential confusion slowing me down right now. Question: Would you eat the BSP costs/complexity for faster initial traction, knowing you might migrate to Meta Direct later? Or push through Meta's learning curve and accept painful onboarding for first clients? Anyone dealt with similar multi-tenant WhatsApp onboarding + credential management challenges? Thanks! 🙏
