If I could go back to Day One of my business (back when I was duct-taping everything together and hoping nobody noticed), here’s exactly what I’d automate first: 1️⃣ My Content Workflow I used to spend hours trying to come up with the perfect post. Now? One prompt → a full week of content. If I had this back then, I would’ve saved myself years of “blank cursor panic.” 2️⃣ My Client Onboarding The number of times I manually typed the same welcome email… embarrassing. Automating this would’ve given me back so many hours - and a lot of sanity. 3️⃣ My Daily Planning I didn’t realize how much energy I wasted trying to remember everything. AI pulling my tasks, priorities, and reminders into one clean daily brief? Game changer. 4️⃣ My Follow-Up System Clients, leads, team… I dropped balls left and right. AI doesn’t forget. Old-me could’ve used that superpower. If you’re building your business right now, learn from past-me: Automate the things you repeat. Start small. Stay consistent. Let the systems carry the weight. What would you do differently if you were starting today?

(Messy. Honest. Still running.) Why I’m Doing This I’m documenting this in real time because most Facebook ad “case studies” skip the confusing parts.(full disclosure: chatGPT wrote this documentation and any advice or observations about this process is given by it ‘acting as’ the top Facebook ads marketer that I asked it to be.) Before this, I hadn't run an ad in at least 5 years. This is not an area where I have a lot of experience or knowledge. This is not a launch. Not a funnel. Not a scale play. This is a small-budget boosted post test to invite the right people into my Automated CEO Community - and I want to show the actual process, including when Meta does weird stuff. Starting Point (Before Ads) - Profile size: ~1.3K followers - Goal: Warm visibility + conversations (not cold conversions) - Budget: Small daily boost - Format: Boosted post, not Ads Manager I chose to boost a post that already had organic traction instead of creating an ad from scratch. The Original Post (Organic) This was the post I boosted because it had the most traction (image attached): "If you’re still trying to run your business on duct-taped systems and sheer willpower… you’re not alone. But you don’t have to keep doing it. I opened The Automated CEO Community this morning, and within hours people started joining - people who are tired of holding their entire business together in their head. (Details about workflows, clarity, templates, support, beta pricing, etc - I didn't include here) If you’re on the fence, ask yourself: How long do you want to keep operating on stress, memory, and caffeine? Link in the comments." Organic performance before boosting: - 204 views - 11 interactions - 2 comments This was my signal to test it with paid reach. My Original Prompt (What I Asked For Help With) Act as if you are the top Facebook ads marketer. I want to do a small cost ad (maybe a boosted post?) for one of my posts inviting to the Automated CEO.

If you’re staring at your business wondering where the hell to even start with automation… start here. These three tasks create the biggest “oh thank god” energy the fastest: 1️⃣ A Daily CEO Dashboard One place where AI summarizes: - your top priorities - daily tasks - revenue goals - anything you keep in your head and forget by noon Feels like finally getting a brains-not-scattered reset button. 2️⃣ A Content Engine Drop in one idea → get: - posts - emails - captions - reels scripts - variations for every platform You don’t need more creativity. You need a system that multiplies what you already have. 3️⃣ A Client Experience System Think: - client onboarding - follow-ups - reminders - check-ins All handled automatically so you’re not reinventing the wheel every damn time. These three alone will free up more time than you expect. Which one do you already have in place? Which one do you want help building next?
