241: Working Less + Reclaiming Your Life: Talking about CRMs, Repurposing Content, and the Power of Automation with Colie James

Today, I have an amazing guest, Colie James. I've known her online for years, and we finally got to meet in person at a conference in January. She's absolutely wonderful, inspiring, and incredibly knowledgeable about systems and all things business. I can’t wait to share her brilliance on the podcast today! In our conversation, we’re diving deep into topics like: - What most people MISS when starting to put more formal systems together in their business - What to do first if you find yourself being a bottleneck in your business - How to repurpose your content strategically (she has brilliant ideas on this!) - Using automation in your business systems to save time - How to create more freedom in your life by automating your business.  And so much more - I absolutely loved this whole conversation! And heads up, we'll be diving into Dubsado in this episode, which is the CRM both Colie and I use. If you're not familiar with what a CRM is or what Dubsado is, don't worry!
