This is the final episode of our So Easy Social Media series. Learn how to automatically post to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so you don't have to login each day What we'll cover:Automate your social media accounts so you can be “passively active” on social media. Be active for your followers without even thinking about or worrying about what to post next. Gather Posts The memes, the quotes, the questions, the answers on Pocket, Google Bookmarks Remember to provide value Don't make posts just to post. Make post that engage Your goal is not to have presence on social media, but to have influence Should you cross post? You could set up an autoschedule for ONE platform then just have it auto cross post across the rest of them Lazy, easy BUT...a post effective on one platform may not go so well on others In general, Be on the platform you are posting. You can cross post some posts though, and there's an easy an automatic way to do that we'll get to with the IFTTT app Setting up Cross-Posting Facebook.com/Twitter Anything you post on FB (you can link your page on FB or profile) will auto-tweet To cross post FROM Instagram, just connect your account; there's a toggle option when you post Cross post from Instagram to FB works well actually, but don't cross post every post in case people follow you on multiple platforms. Instagram to Twitter though does NOT show pic and only gives (shortened) caption & a link, terrible engagement. You have to manually create a Tweet & re-upload the pic, unless you use software, which we'll get to. You can also autoshare your YouTube likes, comments, and uploads https://www.youtube.com/account_sharing Scheduling Posts: Be consistent (without the obligation of actually being consistent). Keep your post time around the same time You can procrastinate, wait until the last minute to do all your post for the next month or two in about an hour Downside of Autoscheduled Posts: Cannot post multiple photos or albums in posts Cannot post stories Cannot schedule retweets or Facebook “shares” (you have to use a 3rd party app) There's a LIMIT to the amount of auto scheduled posts (varies per platform or third party app used) Facebook Scheduled Posts Built in option on FB (to the left of the post button) On your Group: Moderate > Scheduled Posts On your Page: Publishing Tools > Scheduled Posts Facebook only (cross-post from Twitter does not pick up scheduled posts) Cannot post albums (multiple photos) or events Min of 30 mins. Max 2 months. Twitter Scheduled Posts (Tweet Deck) http://www.tweetdeck.com Official Twitter autoschedule Go to Tweetdeck.com and it'll redirect you to Tweetdeck.Twitter.com Basically, Twitter with a different interface (for marketers or Twitter addicts) Create a new tweet and click “schedule Tweet” This will open a new panel where you can view all your current scheduled Tweets Alternatively… Alpha Post Android Only Twitter Only Instagram No first party/built-in scheduled/auto post. Bettr Social Some “Instagram “scheduling apps” only send you a notification to post at the time you schedule. You then MANUALLY post it. But this one is fully automated. App only (both Android & iOS). No computer browser.

How to Create a Recipe Browse suggested recipes. Connect to different channels/apps Then choose a Trigger Finally choose an Action The Social Media services that work with IFTTT: Facebook (profiles, pages, and groups) Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Reddit Tumblr YouTube Pinterest Some channels Pocket Soundcloud Gmail Google Calendar Evernote Buffer Craigslist Dropbox Feedly 2. Recommended IFTT Recipes to Make Social Media So Easy Share/Tweet after uploading a podcast episode to your feed Share/Tweet after posting a blog (WordPress, Weebly) Build Twitter lists of people using a specific hash tag Auto tweet/share when a certain article of a hashtag on Feedly (or other RSS reader) posts Thank new followers for following you and include a link to your most recent artcile or video or ebook - requires Buffer Auto cross post when using a specific hash tag. This is great so you don't cross post everything. Get notified via e-mail or text when a specific influencer or competitor or news source posts Get a text/e-mail when someone comments on your post or tags you Upload videos from YouTube to Facebook (or create a new Weebly/WordPress site post) Archive your FB posts and Tweets... Backup blog posts, videos, or podcasts on Evernote or Google Drive Save your likes in a Google Spreadsheet Tweet your IG posts natively automatically Keep your profile pictures in sync (in case you update it for a holiday or special event) by making adding to a certain photo album a Trigger Save popular posts from a specific (niche) subreddit to Pocket (bookmarks) If you're using Buffer you can create a #FollowFriday tweet to give a shout out to people's posts you liked in the past week Schedule posts using Google calendar within IFTTT Set up an e-mail or text alert when a specific key word is posted on a website, blog or subreddit title My personal favorite: Upvote Reddit Save to pocket (Reddit only saves 1000 of your most recent likes and there is no way to search the content. You have to manually click through each page) 3. Important Notes & Practices to get the most out of IFTTT You can have multiple social media accounts for each platform on IFTTT Name the recipe to what exactly it's doing, otherwise you will have multiple of the same exact default name and it gets confusing You can use this app to do other things unrelated to online marketing, like finances mentioned in lvl 5: The Top ProcrastiN8 Apps to Easily and Automatically Put Money Towards Your Savings Goals. You can have it automatically order pizza, turn on the lights, blast some Led Zeppelin, and boot up your computer when you get home, if you connect it to your smart devices. In sum… Gather posts while browsing the Internet Cross post, but don't do it for every single post Use Facebook Scheduled Posts feature auto post on FB Use TweetDeck to auto tweet Use BettrSocial or Previw App to schedule Instagram Use a third party app to integrate all social media accounts in one dashboard Create recipes to automate posts and tweets as well as gather news, info & content in your niche Sign up for the ProcrastiN8r Newsletter and get the FREE So Easy Social Media E-book: www.ProcrastiN8r.com Autoscheduling posts on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram Social Media Manager options Automating posts with IFTTT

We don't like to work, especially at our day jobs. I don't like to work, you don't like to work. As a matter of fact, more than half of Americans don't like to work at their current job. It's a pretty common consensus that work sucks. Well... Don't work. Make your money work for you. That is the way of a true procrastinator. It's an easy feat, in terms of effort… ... just rather time consuming. It requires a bit of patience, a bit of procrastination, waiting and putting off withdrawing or ever touching it. Money, when put in the right places works like a slow Duplicator machine that multiplies whatever you put into it. The longer you keep it in the machine, the more money you get, which means us procrastinators, who like to always wait and put things off, can easily grow rich Last week, we looked at easy ways to start investing, and letting your money grow slowly over time in that Duplicator machine, while you sit back and relax. ...but maybe you want more money to play around with. Remember, ya gotta play your money or else it'll play you. Like any game, there are certain rules to follow and abide by. The ProcrastiN8r abides. Today, we're looking at the ProcrastiN8 Money Rulesto Increase Your Savings 8. Stop Trying To Impress Others You're a lazy procrastinator, so embrace a lazy mindset. Be Aloof. You don't care about what other people think about your status or riches. You don't seek approval and you don't need it You do your own thing, regardless of what people think. Others opinions do not affect your purchasing decisions (or decisions in general for that matter). Honey Badger Don't Care. ProcrastiN8r don't care. There's a famous quote that's been said many times: “You buy things with money you don't have to impress people you don't like” Not any more. You're a procrastinator and proud., You're here to express, not impress. Buy generic for certain things like drugs, vitamins, and food. Often times, you're just paying for the name brand. There are certain exceptions where generic sucks, like electronics and shoes. *7.Buy it Later If you're a patient procrastinator, you can save money by well, procrastinating. Things lose value over time. Don't buy it now. Buy it later. The price of “new” is overpriced. Cars depreciate in value, for example. A new car this year will significantly decrease in value next year Video games too go down a lot. $60 is the price of a “new game” That price is just the impatient fee. The “gotta have it now” Be patient. Procrastinate your purchases We're not about having or doing it “now”, we're all about “later.” 6. Pay Yourself First your priority to make a payment towards is -- yourself (and your own lazy lifestyle) pretend 20% of the income is a tax or fee, like you don't even own the money. Future you is charging current you to pay for his/her own Lazy Island. This payment is required aim to live off 80% of your income TOPS. 5. Aim for the biggest target in your debt take down the debt with the highest interest rate, not necessarily the highest amount the higher the interest rate, the more money you will pay in the long run, so knock it down as quick as possible, even if it's the smallest debt you owe Debt accumulates faster with a higher interest rate and slower with a lower one it's like a small enemy with a rage buff that gets stronger over time. You have to take it out as quickly as you can before it grows ridiculously powerful 4. Buy It For Life One and done. That's the attitude of a true procrastinator. Buy quality products that are built to last, not cheaply made ones that are built to fall apart and be replaced as soon as possible. You want products that have a long life. There's a whole subreddit for recommended products & brands: /r/BIFL Buy video games that have a lot of replay value or content in general to get the most bang for your buck. Buy a physical copy so you can resell it when you're done with it (like Monster Hunter, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Smash Bros) Digital may be cheaper sometimes but you can't resell a digital product. 3. Use it ‘til it breaks Along the same line of thinking: Keep up good maintenance and repairs on your “stuff” so you don't have to purchase a new thing Small maintenance like changing your oil on your car ...or dusting out your desktop and cleaning the fan and defragging your hard drive every few weeks ...or stitching your clothing, which is actually easier to do than you would think will improve the quality and quantity of life of a product It's also cheaper to do minor repairs along the way than pay for one major repair This goes for personal health too -- it's better and cheaper to eat healthy, keep in shape and go to regular check ups with your doctor than it is to pay for major surgery and serious(ly expensive) meds. As a PRO-crastinator...You're not only lazy, you're a cheap bastard and will make the most out of what ya got. And if you're having trouble keeping up with the little maintenances, remember, no pressure. You're doing it because you want to. And you can gamify these habits so you're gaining xp and leveling up, instead of doing so called “chores” 2. Live Below Your Means Get rid of the complexity in your life. Live a nice, simple, easy, lazy life. Luxury items are for hard workers who are trying to impress others. Again, you don't care about making any sort of luxurious or elaborate impression of others You're a simple dude or simple gal and live a simple life. As a matter of fact, you'd rather them think you're just a lazy bum anyway. No sense being bothered with superficial people that like you for superficial reasons Get rid of unnecessary purchases as much as possible. The more things you own in your life, the more stress factors you invite in your life Likewise, the more activities you do, the more you're going to spend and the more you're going to be running around, instead of couch surfing. Eliminate stress by buying less and doing less. They say money can't buy happiness… … but the truth is No “Thing” can buy happiness and No Experience can either. Money can buy you freedom and with freedom comes happiness. - Experiences and Things are just temporary, but freedom is evergreen Instead of putting dollars down to buy a thing or experience that you think will make you happy, plant it in an investment account to let it grow into a tree that can support your lazy hammock. 1. Automate Your Savings Use apps and built in online banking features to automatically save part of your pay heck or put it into an investment account You don't even have to think about it. The money saving and investing takes care of yourself. Your money works for you and the apps put it to work in the first place. You barely have to lift a finger. Well I mean, maybe a couple of swipes a clicks during the initial set up, but after that, you're done. Digit, Rize, and even IFTTT are great ways to put money into a savings account For a full list of these apps and a detailed review, listen to Lvl 6: The Top Procrastin8 Apps to Easily and Automatically Put Money Towards Your Savings Goals & Keep an Accurate Budget Many of the stock brokers and investment sites (Robinhood, WeBull, Vanguard, etc.) have an auto deposit option. Acorn & Stash are apps built around auto investing “spare change” Betterment, Wise Banyan, So-Fi Wealth Management and other robo investors auto redistribute your portfolio. So it becomes complete autopilot. ...as we talked about last week in Lvl 22: How to Start Investing With Little Money, the Lazy Way. Once you have automatic savings and investing all set up, you can sit back and relax. Your wealth will build, nice and slow. You'll get rich, eventually. This isn't a get rich quick scheme but a logical lazy method that may take a while but works. But hey, we all take a while to do things as procrastinators, so cut our money a little break for not striking it rich so fast. Anyway... We'll cover the Lazy Money Rules of INVESTING next week... in...ProcrastiN8 Money Rules to Maximize Your Investment Profit!

De una necesidad ha nacido la investigación sobre qué servicios auto-alojados existen para automatizar flujos de trabajo. Tras probar varios, me quedo con n8n instalado en mi NAS, con Docker, por supuesto.

201 is the HTTP status code for Resource Created. It is also the number of PurePerformance Episodes (including this one) we have published over the past years.

Guest BIO Becca Leisher used to sit at her desk job, listening to RV Entrepreneur and dreaming of a life in which she worked wherever she wanted, whenever she wanted, as much as she wanted, doing only work that she loved. Family members told her this dream was not possible. She refused to accept traditional work as "reality" and trusted her authentic, counterintuitive, and untested professional strategy to achieve her dream. Becca's strategy was to use 9-5 jobs to discover the skill at the intersection of her passion and expertise so she could start a business offering that skill. At 29, Becca is the CEO of a legal tech company and she has achieved the life of freedom, health, and authenticity she dreamed of for years. She shares her story to ensure others know it is possible.

If you are passionate about your skilled trades service business but struggle to see it grow, or if you're simply curious about running a successful service enterprise, this episode of the Service Business Mastery Podcast is for you! In this episode, "Accounting Doesn't Have to Suck," hosts Tersh Blisset and Joshua Crouch engage with guest Spencer Sheinin, CEO and Founder of Shift Financial Insights, in a deep dive into the world of accounting, and how as daunting as it may appear, it doesn't have to suck! They explore hiring problems often faced by small and medium-sized businesses and how hiring the wrong person for accounting can result in lost opportunities. They discuss the role of AI in bookkeeping, financial analysis, and how it may not necessarily be the ideal option for smaller businesses with unique scenarios.  Tersh, Josh, and Spencer inspire others with their personal stories of business finance, including Spencer's transformative shift in mindset towards numbers. If you've ever been overwhelmed by financial statements, Spencer's take on using data visualization techniques for better understanding and data interpretation is a game-changer. Also, make sure to look out for the invaluable advice from Sheinin's book, "Entreprenumbers," of which we are giving away copies after the interview. It's an absolute must-read for entrepreneurs looking to demystify their financials and gain the knowledge to make effective business decisions.  This episode is full of insights, practical advice, and money-saving tips for anyone in a service business. Don't miss out! SHOW NOTES 01:59 Justin hosts giveaway and offers script for success. 04:11 Copeland offers valuable compressor diagnostics training. 08:58 Struggling to keep up, correcting formulas, light bulb moment. 12:20 Not a certified accountant. HVAC career started accidentally. 14:14 Accounting department struggles due to inadequate staffing. 17:15 Financials are backwards looking, but budgets and cash flows can be forward looking. Looking backwards helps identify what's not working and the root causes. The 80 20 rule applies to most problems. Understanding the right information helps identify issues like a 3% decrease in average margin. 20:14 AI accounting benefits big companies, not small. 24:16 Increase sales, decrease costs, analyze divisions. 26:01 Forward vs. backward analysis in HVAC operations. 30:46 Managing labor is crucial in every industry, particularly this industry. Analyzing labor as a percentage of sales can indicate if it's going in the wrong direction. Our brains process information visually, so financial information should be presented in pictures instead of letters and numbers. For example, when determining the current percentage of receivables, the accounts receivable aging report is commonly used. 34:27 Book version of tips/tools for implementation. 36:38 Great ideas shared with like-minded business coaches. 39:22 Impressive intro video.

Lawrence was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada where, as a child, Lawrence's father founded a non-profit assisted living facility for older adults. Lawrence grew up spending nights and weekends visiting the facility and was amazed by the wisdom of the residents who had so much more to give. Before co-founding GetSetUp, Lawrence oversaw Business Development and Partnerships for IFTTT, an IoT Connectivity Platform. He also led Sight Machine's Asian Pacific business operations and was VP of Global Partnerships at Yahoo during its early years.

We've found that if you ask that question to a female audience, they more often will say, Yes, I do identify as a lifelong learner. More of our men actually do not actually identify with that phrase. But the concept in general, I'm a big believer in. Life changes, technology changes, our circumstances change, and what are we doing to keep up with that? So there's a shelf life to the things we learn, to the products that we use, to the services that we use. We have to keep learning and evolving to make sure that we're getting the best out of life. And I think that just comes from making a habit of wanting and needing to learn new things."   On Learning from Guides "And we just thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could both re-skill and upskill folks my age and older to teach these things, but also at the same time create a learning opportunity for those who were trying to understand. So an economic opportunity on one side and a learning opportunity on the other. And the wonderful byproduct of that was there was just a comfort level where everybody had that same sort of patience, speed, empathy and vocabulary. There was a magic that occurred where everybody felt like no question was a dumb question. We could all spend the time needed to sort of understand similar issues or similar challenges, questions, problems. And so it just worked. And so in many ways,

This week, I'm answering a question about the fundamentals and why it's important to master the basics before worrying about everything else.  You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The CP Learning Centre Membership Programme The Working With… Weekly Newsletter The FREE Beginners Guide To Building Your Own COD System Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Hello, and welcome to episode 293 of the Working With Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host for this show. Last week, in my newsletter, I wrote about the lessons I learned from rushing about looking for quick fixes and hacks to improve my productivity. In many ways, I was lucky I was doing this in the 1990s before the plethora of digital tools were available, yet the mistakes I made back then are the same mistakes I see so many people making today.  There's a lot to say about the advantages of hindsight and experience. It does help you to avoid mistakes made in the past and gives you a level of knowledge that helps you to assess new ideas through a framework of experience. What works and what does not work.  For example, I've learned the more complexity and levels a task management system has the less likely you will use it effectively in the future. It's exciting a fun to play with in the beginning, but once it comes face to face with a busy day or week, it breaks down, you stop using it and you then lose trust in it.  Anyway, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Jono. Jono asks, hi Carl, I see you often talk about keeping things simple, and I was wondering what you consider to be a simple system. I try to keep mine simple, but it is so hard to do so with so many new tools coming out each month. A little help here would be appreciated.  Hi Jono, thank you for your question.  To answer your question for me a simple system is one that works in the background so you can focus on your work without feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or swamped. The trouble is to get to that level, you will need to go through a few gates and that means initially things will not feel simple.  Take the first stage of getting something into your system, the collecting stage. If you've never used a task manager before, one of the most difficult habits to build is to collect everything that comes across your desk into an inbox.  If you've spent a large part of your life trying to remember to do something and never writing it down, doing the opposite will feel unnatural. I remember when I turned to a completely digital system and pulling out my phone every time I remembered to do something felt very unnatural. Having a laptop or later an iPad in a meeting felt uncomfortable.  Today, almost everyone is in a meeting with a laptop or iPad, but twelve years ago, it was not common at all. There was a fear that people felt you were doing your email or responding to Facebook massages while in the meeting. It was uncomfortable.  And that is where one of the initial problems lie. Changing an old behaviour.  However, the good news is it only take a few weeks for it to become natural. It's funny today, when my wife asks me to do something and I don't immediately pull out my phone, my wife will stop and say: are you going to write it down? Not only has my behaviour changed, so has hers. She knows if I put it into my phone I will not forget. If I don't, I will forget.  However, that means the way you collect stuff needs to be fast and easy. Back in the days when I travelled around the city visiting clients, I used the subway and bus system. I carried a bag (I hate backpacks, they destroy the cut of your suit—which weirdly I no longer wear) This meant I needed to be able to collect ideas and tasks while moving from one train to another or walking through a subway station.  I developed a test I called the changing train test. The test was could I collect a task into my task manager while I was changing trains? If I needed to stop walking, it failed the test. This was one of the many reasons why Todoist became my task manager of choice. It was simple and fast to get stuff into it.  The introduction of Siri in 2014 really helped. I was able dictate my tasks to my phone and later, when Siri developed, I was able to set it up with Apple's Shortcuts to make collecting even faster.  So the first test for me is to ensure collecting is optimised to be fast and require as few button taps or pushes to get get something into my system.  Today, it's all about getting things into my system using my laptop computer as that is where I am mostly when doing my work. I no longer visit clients. The principles, though, have not changed. Speed and simplicity. Using keyboard shortcuts to get things into my system is critical to me today. Again, simple, and fast.  The philosophy I follow is the less time I spend in my productivity tools, the more time I have for doing the work. The more time I spend doing the work, the more time I have at the end of the day for other things like hobbies, interests and family.  This means that the next step, the organising also needs to be simple.  I've travelled down the road of building complex organisation structures in my notes and files. I remember around seven years ago the trend of developing a complex tagging structure in Evernote. That all began from a blog post Michael Hyatt posted in 2016 where he explained how he used Evernote notebooks and tags. Oh how we all jumped on that ship. It was so much fun creating hierarchical tags structures.  The problems was, it took hours each week just to maintain it. When You collected a new note you had to go through your tagging structure to ensure you attached the right tags to the note or the system would fail.  Fortunately, Evernote helped to wean us off that method by significantly improving their search. Today, I have a very loose notebook structure and use search to find what I need. It's much faster and simpler and means I have very little organising to do.  Similarly with Todoist, removing all the old project folders and focusing on when I will do a task and slimming down the number of labels I use (I use eight and no more) processing my inbox takes a fraction of the time it used to.  Everything is geared towards simplicity and speed so I spend more time doing the work and less time “playing” with the tools that organise my work.  Over the last few months, I've been creating content encouraging people to discover the processes for doing their work. That simplifies how you do your work and when that is simplified you are on the way to speeding it up. However, the great thing about having processes is you can take a single part of you process and find ways to make it better.  This, I realise is what I do with my whole productivity system. I have broken it down in to three parts: collecting, organising and doing. If I feel organising my work is too slow, I can look at how I am organising my work and find a better faster way. I will do that every three months or so. I look at the whole system, and ask the question, how can I do this better.  As the tools I use are being updated regularly, I find every three months enables me to review the updates to see if anything that has been changed helps me to make the system faster. For example, Evernote have recently introduced AI. This has given us faster search results AND, you can use their AI to organise an individual note into a cleaner order.  This means I can take scattered meeting notes and let Evernote organise those notes into a cleaner, more logical order. It puts the highlights at the top of the note which makes for faster scanning for the important points. This means less time organising and more time doing. Always a win.  However, all this comes back to keeping things as simple as possible. We know the less moving parts a motor has, the less likely it will go wrong. That true for motors, it's also true for your productivity system. The less you have, the less there is to go wrong.  This is why I ditched add ons and plugins a long time ago. I used to use IFTTT to connect different apps together. Unfortunately, these often stoped working or lost the connection and that broke my system. Removing these from the critical tools (task manager, notes and calendar) and allowing them toward independently of each other meant no more stoppages or issues.  Instead, I bought a 32 inch monitor and when I do my planning I have the screen real-estate to have my calendar and task manager open side by side. Remove as many moving parts as possible and there is less to go wrong.  And finally, all the new tools coming out. Yes, it's exciting and very tempting to keep trying all these new tools. However, what is your objective here. To get your work done as quickly as possible to the highest standards or to play with new tools.  None of these new productivity tools will do the work for you—never forget that. I have asked myself in the past does Notion do what Evernote does for me significantly faster and better? The answer was and is no. Does Tick Tick organise my tasks significantly better and faster than Todoist? No. So there's not need for me to change.  Changing tools slows you down. There's the transfer cost, the learning cost and the unfamiliarity cost. All of which dramatically slows things down and I do not want to be spending more time doing work when I could be with my family enjoying an evening stroll by the beach or cooking a surprise dinner for them.  So there you, Jono. I hope that has helped a little. Thank you for your question.  And just a heads up, over the last two years or so, I have been asked for some kind of membership programme in my learning centre. It's taken me a while to find the right programme for such a membership. But now I am happy to announce that you can join a membership programme.  The purpose of the programme is to give you access to all my courses and workshops when and how you want to access them. But, the biggest part of the programme is the coaching element. My goal is to keep you accountable for your goals and productivity aspirations.  The membership runs for one year. During that year, you will get a monthly coaching call with me, where we discuss how you performed that month. And find simple changes you can make to improve things where they need improving.  Because of the individual coaching, I have limited the membership to twenty people initially. There are a few places left if you want to join., and I urge you to act quickly. These places will and are running out fast.  Oh, and you also can join my exclusive community where you can ask me anything, chat with other members and get the occasional unique content. It's a brilliant programme, and I hope you will consider joining and allowing me to help you become better organised and more productive.  You can get full details at my website carlpullein.com or in the show notes.  Thank you for listening and it remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Andy hopes that you will join him in this insightful conversation with Nora Shields of Rock Paper Coin, a pioneer in wedding industry automation! Listen in as Nora talks about all things automation, explaining how it can save events and wedding pros considerable amounts of time and money while boosting efficiency and reducing mistakes. She recommends starting with calendar automation so clients can easily schedule appointments without email tag, recommending a number of platforms including her favorite, cloudHQ. Nora goes on to discuss how workflow automation platforms can automate multi-step processes using triggers and conditions. She also advises that even though some luxuries may prefer less automation, platforms like Rock Paper Coin allow automating contracts, invoices, and client communications while boosting sales, and she encourages us that while she completely understands being weary of tech, this is very user-friendly and intuitive. The implications of intuitive automation in business are ultimately enormous - saving up to a third of time spent on manual tasks while boosting professionalism and sales. Again, although it can absolutely be daunting at first, starting small and giving new tech a chance can yield big rewards.

With the rapid changes in technology, it's easier than ever to get connected online. Except one demographic that has essentially been left behind – older adults. Today's guest is working to change that. Lawrence Kosick is the Co-founder of GetSetUp, a learning platform and community for older adults – specifically those aged 60+. He was inspired at a young age by the wisdom and potential of the older residents at his father's assisted living facility. GetSetUp focuses on re-skilling seniors who then teach other seniors how to do all the important things in their lives. This demographic will be close to 25% of the total population in the next 20 years, and seniors will become increasingly important customers for every business. GetSetUp's Guides will be able to train and onboard these customers across Healthcare, Technology, Finance and a whole host of other verticals. On GetSetUp, learners can take classes in how to use their SmartPhone or iPad, drawing and crafting, cooking, and ordering groceries using an app. With GetSetUp, the world becomes more accessible for elders, whether or not they leave their homes. Lawrence and Co-founders Neil Dsouza and Deval Delivala launched GetSetUp with support from founders of LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Zynga, as well as executives from United Healthcare and Rally Health. Previously, Lawrence oversaw Business Development and Partnerships for IFTTT, led Sight Machine's APAC operations, and was VP of Global Partnerships at Yahoo.  A company born from community Lawrence often gets asked: Why focus on older adults? He has a multifaceted answer. As an entrepreneur, Lawrence realized that older adults, particularly in the 50-70 age range, are the fastest-growing group in the world. With limited knowledge in countries like the United States, he clearly identified a need for greater accessibility. In countries outside the US where elders are more likely to have technical savvy, GetSetUp's travel and cooking classes are wildly popular and learners are likely to connect with others socially via groups.  But when Lawrence developed his business plan, he was focused on more than wealth or success. He remembered the days when his father has a retirement home – and he recalled how difficult things were for the residents. Elders in the facility often felt forgotten and overlooked by society. They also struggled with loneliness and missed the people they cared about. As Lawrence worked on GetSetUp, he connected strongly with the desire to make life happier and healthier for people as they age.  Lawrence and his Co-founder created an image of a world where differently-abled people can virtually travel at the click of a button, make new friends securely on the internet, discuss their favorite hobbies and interests, and learn new skills. Scaling took a smart idea When the pandemic hit, the Founders of GetSetUp recognized an opportunity to grow and scale the company. However, they weren't certain where they should find instructors for their classes.  It dawned on them that their learners were more likely to be receptive to and excited by classes taught by other elder adults – but that group is less likely to know how to teach online! An idea was born. Lawrence and his Co-founders met a retired former Apple Genius Bar instructor and Operator with 30+ years of experience teaching others how to use technology and teach online. They helped her set up an academy to help retired teachers learn to teach online. They then reached out to the Retired Teachers Association and began bringing retired teachers onto their team. With support from their Genius Bar instructor, they empowered the teachers to learn new ways of using technology to teach others, and it took off.  While this sounded like an insurmountable hurdle, Lawrence and his team took it on. It was all part of empowering others to live better lives – and the mission is continuing on as GetSetUp thrives with over 5 Million users today! Quotes “How could I apply my business and fundraising experience to tackle something that was more fulfilling–where I could wake up every day to solve a specific problem?” “I love startups. You have to be a little bit of a ‘broken toy' to do a startup, because you are fundamentally disrupting a market or building something that has never been built before. It's not for the faint of heart but for the right person, it's a wonderful thing to do. There is nothing easy about doing that.” “We realized that there was a huge technical deficit and need to scale it faster. We realized we had to go out and raise capital.” “The 50-60 year old US portion of the population is the fastest-growing. We have a disproportionate amount of adults who need to learn things and use services to live happy healthy lives.” “We started asking our learners – what else do you want or need to learn? It became a great source for new programming. And we kept hiring new teachers.” “People think – if that person can do it, I can do it too. We didn't expect it to be as magical as it is.” “You're not only teaching them things, but there are instances where we are helping them overcome loneliness.” “Not everything is a structured academic class. When you think about helping someone understand their iPad or use LinkedIn for volunteer work, they're smaller and more interactive classes.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for GetSetUp at www.getsetup.io  Connect with Lawrence on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencekosick/  Follow GetSetUp on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/getsetup.io  Follow GetSetUp on Twitter at https://twitter.com/lawrencekosick

In this video/podcast, we will explore the topic of boosting productivity through automation. We'll discuss various tools and techniques that can help you streamline your day, saving time and energy. By harnessing the power of automation, you can focus on important tasks and achieve more efficiency in your daily workflow. Zapier and IFTTT: Zapier and IFTTT (If This Then That) are powerful automation platforms that allow you to connect different apps and services. They work on the principle of triggers and actions, enabling you to create automated workflows, known as "Zaps" or "Applets." These tools eliminate the need for repetitive manual tasks by automating them. For example, you can automatically save email attachments to cloud storage or create a task in your to-do list when a new email arrives. Email Templates: Composing similar emails repeatedly can be time-consuming. Email templates are pre-written messages that can be customized and reused for common scenarios. By using email templates, you can save time and maintain consistency in your communication. Many email clients and productivity tools offer built-in or customizable templates, making it easy to respond to inquiries, schedule meetings, or send follow-ups quickly. Calendly or Doodle: Scheduling meetings can be a hassle, especially when coordinating with multiple participants. Tools like Calendly and Doodle simplify the process by allowing you to share your availability and let others choose a suitable time slot. These tools integrate with your calendar and eliminate the back-and-forth emails or messages involved in scheduling. With just a few clicks, you can efficiently manage your appointments and save valuable time. LastPass or 1Password: Remembering multiple passwords for different accounts can be a daunting task. Password managers like LastPass and 1Password securely store your login credentials, generating strong passwords and auto-filling them when needed. By using a password manager, you can improve security, save time, and reduce the frustration of password management. Additionally, these tools often offer features like secure note storage, form filling, and synchronization across devices. RescueTime or Toggl: Maintaining focus and tracking time spent on various tasks is crucial for productivity. RescueTime and Toggl are productivity apps that help you analyze and manage your time effectively. RescueTime runs in the background, tracking your activity on different applications and websites. It provides detailed reports on your time usage, allowing you to identify time sinks and make informed decisions. Toggl, on the other hand, is a time-tracking tool that lets you log the time you spend on specific tasks or projects. By understanding how you allocate your time, you can optimize your workflow and prioritize important activities. Conclusion: Automation tools such as Zapier, IFTTT, email templates, scheduling apps like Calendly or Doodle, password managers like LastPass or 1Password, and productivity trackers like RescueTime or Toggl can significantly enhance your productivity by minimizing repetitive tasks, optimizing scheduling, simplifying password management, and providing insights into your time allocation. By incorporating these automation techniques into your daily routine, you can streamline your day and focus on what truly matters, ultimately achieving greater efficiency and productivity.
