Looking to hit the open road? That was the case for Jacqui Money and her husband, who have moved into a Tiny House and are loving the adventure! You'll learn on this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur how this enterprising native of South Africa developed a niche practice providing automated back-office solutions for small businesses. Leveraging a range of platforms, Jacqui helps clients develop systems that can do on their own what a decade ago required the assembly of an entire team. Entrepreneurs — especially solopreneurs and most especially introverts — are loving this one-stop approach to putting processes in place to manage all manner of customer management, marketing, scheduling and other functions, both streamlining tasks and minimizing costs. Jacqui shares exactly what services she provides and her approach to bringing clients along. She has learned in building out her own business a lesson that is applicable for all business owners: Invite feedback. She took her own onboarding process from clunky and ineffective to a series of seamless steps that her clients fully embrace and enjoy. How? By making adjustments based on input and observations she solicited all along the way! The episode wraps with Three Top Tips that will smooth the path for any entrepreneur looking to optimize and automate systems as well as some compelling reading recommendations you'll want to check out. Finally, Jacqui is reminding: Don't delay. Go for it. Launch your entrepreneurial journey! It won't be perfect, but there will be abundant opportunities to refine and improve all along the way! Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous She Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Are you an introvert? Automation may be your new best friend. With systems in place, there's no need to build a team or manage people!· Attention Solopreneurs: Clear your plate through outsourcing tasks and systems. · Engaging a solutions architect puts your business on the fast track to automation.· Is there an area where you're consistently hitting a stumbling block? Consult your clients. Their feedback will identify the genesis and potential solutions.· Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Get started and incorporate updates and changes as needed along the way. Here's a quick look into the episode:· About Jacqui's background and current adventure: A native of South Africa who, along with her husband, several years ago moved off the grid into a Tiny House (they are loving it!). To do so meant figuring out an income that was location independent. · Jacqui's practice is focused on designing custom solutions for back-end problems, automating systems so solopreneurs don't have to hire a team. · Jacqui found her niche by herself being an entrepreneur who needed back-end business support but didn't want to hire a team of people. Once she discovered the benefits of custom build-outs that are a simple, cost-effective substitute for staff, she felt compelled to spread the word!· About the benefits that Jacqui provides:o A complete mapping of the client journey, from first contact through off-boarding.o An assessment of — and plan to optimize — tools already in play.o Deployment of automated systems to streamline functions and minimize costs/hiring.· Jacqui's target audience: Online businesses, solopreneurs, coaches and consultants. · All about VIP Days: Jacqui's one-stop, holistic approach to building out systems quickly. · Onboarding Clients Like a Pro: Inspired by Jacqui's experience with clients who weren't getting with the program, she developed a mapping system based on their feedback about the challenges. It was a game-changer! Clients today love her process!· Jacqui's three best pieces of advice for entrepreneurs chasing their dreams:o Put systems in place.o Write your SOPs now — even if you're not planning on hiring anyone or employing a huge team.o Don't wait for perfection. Just get started and adjust based on feedback.· Jacqui's Recommended Reading:o "The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level," by Gay Hendricks.o "Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers," by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares.o "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones," by James Clear.

In Episode 19, we discuss Ideas on Marketing your book.If you have any questions, Please email Tami at tamids@icloud.comBook: Unmasked, unbroken, healed and set free.Book Marketing Ideas, Feedback & Advice Writing and marketing a new book is just like running a business. You start with an idea and a lot of unproven assumptions and your goal is to prove those assumptions as quickly as possible while investing as little capital and time as possible.Allocate resources equally between product development (writing) and marketing. As Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares point out in Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers: “Most startups end in failure. Almost every failed startup has a product. What failed startups don’t have is traction.” Likewise, every author has a book. What most don’t have is marketing traction. Iterate quickly and publicly Startups release products quickly to ever larger groups because it both improves the quality of the product more quickly (by getting tons of feedback) and weaves that feedback into the narrative of the product in a way that makes customers feel a sense of ownership. I tried to do the same with the book. Here are the steps I took:Sent the First Draft to 5 alpha readersBlogged sections of the Second Draft on my siteSent the Second Draft to 70 Early ReadersSent the Final Draft to 300 Early AmbassadorsIf you’re concerned about giving away their book’s content publicly, there’s no downside that I can see to blogging out large sections of the second and/or third draft of a book publicly. Andy Weir, author of The Martian, published the entire book on his blog before self-publishing it on Amazon. Then he sold the rights to Crown Publishing, before eventually turning it into a screenplay which has grossed in excess of $400 million. Not bad for packaging up some blog posts.Marketing Forums1.

Ben’s back from Martha’s Vineyard, only to experience less positive updates for Tuple. For the first time, Tuple is shockingly “in the red” financially. So, he feels guilty about going away.
