Automation is awesome, but a lot of people invest on it way too early instead of focusing on the stuff that really matters in the early stages. There are a lot of things you need to figure our before you can get any return of investment from automation. It only makes sense to invest on fancy automation solutions once you have a solid process and a decent number of audience/members/clients. Here is a detailed breakdown on what you need to worry about at each stage of your online business building and what are the priorities at each one. 1. Getting started 🏃‍♀️: - The first thing you need to figure out is what your business is about, what problems it solves and who is going to benefit from it. - Don't be in a hurry to figure things out. Gather feedback, ask for help, research what people really are asking for and be ready to reinvent yourself as many times as necessary. - At this stage it makes more sense investing on consulting from experts than on fancy tools and contractors to set them up. A lot of people make the mistake of investing in tech before doing a proper market research and establishing their brand accordingly. 2. Establish your online presence 🤝 - After you have a solid plan on what your business is going to be you should figure out where your potential clients hang out. Based on that you create your online presence. We got Skool, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, freelancing websites, job posting pages and many other places to establish our presence. Create your profiles/communities/pages in those and start conecting. - We can also count our own private websites for that. Having your own website not only gives you autonomy to present your brand the exact way you want but also gives you credibility. Having an oficial registered business with a physical location on Google Maps on top of that also goes a long way on increasing your visibility and credibility. - Having an online presence includes both having our own pages in several places and also interacting with people in big pages and communities. Hang out at subreddits, facebook groups, communities, support forums and any other place where your people are. Don't only self promote, but help people, teach something, deliver value. I made an incredible live event on @Nick Nebelsky 's community going over that on detail.

AI is very good at replacing hard skills, not so much soft skills. And I don't think that's going to change any time soon. Hard skills are measurable, technical skills. Stuff like writing code, organizing data, doing math and indetifying patherns. Soft skills are personal atributes, habits and social behaviors. So charisma, sales, empathy and genuine creativity. People who rely more on hard skills than soft ones are the ones who are suffering the most with AI taking their space. The challenges for writing code, creating templates, writing technical texts, finding matching words for a poem or lyrichs you're writing, all of that will be easier. AI will never replace good salespeople, good leaders, good managers, good archtects, good teachers, good marketeers and specially not good parents. The truth is that as the barrier of hard skill lowers, the barrier of soft skills get's higher. The ammount of people competing for selling stuff on the internet, developing apps, creating contentn, selling courses and trying to become influencers is much higher now than it was 5 years ago. So the ones that are succeeding now, amongst all of the competition are not the ones that are good at one specific technical skills, but the ones who are good at dealing with people. If you're good at people skills, if you have human intelligence, you have nothing to be afraid of. At Plan Your Tech I can help you deal with technology with both human and artificial intelligence, so you can leverage the benefits of AI without creating a soulless business.

Because they don't know what technology is for. Tech exists for one purpose: to optimize a process. That is the case for both archaic tools like hammers, shovels and Excel to also all the modern AI software and smart devices we're seeing launching everyday. So process is key. If you don't have clarity on your process, or if it is not good, than a specific tool will not solve any problem. Overlooking the process and focusing on the tools is the biggest mistake for both IT professionals and those who hire them. Every tool has it's downsides and every software is flawed. But more often than not, when you fail at a project, the problem is not on the tool or the platform you're using, but on lack of planning and proper management. - Automating your sales process is useless without having a great offer - Launching a paid traffic campaign is a waste of money if you don't know where your potential clients are and how to talk to them - A fancy landingpage will not bring you any results without a clear communication and a great CTA - Implementing a CRM won't do anything for you if you don't know how to analyse data and get feedback on your clients in order to continuously improve your process at each new one AI is changing the game, lowering the barriers for people to start their businesses and giving eveyone who dominate and keep up with the changes an unfair advantage over those who don't. But just like any technology, you won't get anything out of it without a great offer, a solid plan and a well managed process. At Plan Your Tech, I'll evaluate your offer and get a clear plan, join us, and I'll reach out to you, and to offer a free call for us to work on that. In my paid tiers, I'll give you support on solving issues, giving guidance, doing live masterclasses and manage the implemention of the whole technological ecosystem of your business.
