While learning n8n, I noticed something important:
Automation doesn’t fail because of tools.
It fails because the process is unclear.
If you can’t explain your workflow like this:
Trigger → Action → Decision → Outcome
You’re not ready to automate it yet.
n8n is teaching me to think like a systems operator, not just a tool user.
Agency owners — before automating something, can you clearly describe the exact steps your team follows today?
If not, that’s probably the first bottleneck.
