Who is this course for
01

What You'll Achieve 🔥
You'll uncover your Productivity Profile and leverage it to supercharge your systems
When things go wrong in business we all have a baseline response, otherwise known as your "productivity profile". We'll show you how you can combat your "base response" so you're not hijacked by procrastination or resistance or {insert coping mechanism here} every damn time.
You'll match your internal systems with your external ones
Systems are made out to be this super complex and over-the-top external thing you need to have. The truth is: you've already got internal systems in place. Learn how to seamlessly connect these systems with the business you run so you can stay in control when things go wrong.
You'll create resilient processes in your business
Most small business owners struggle with maintaining flow when the 💩hits the fan. We'll show you how to smartly leverage systems that match the way your brain works to ensure things won't fall apart if you suddenly have to step back for a time due to unforeseen circumstances.
You'll banish the shame of a MacGyver'd business forever
You. Aren't. Broken. We'll show you how to rethink your approach to the structure behind your business to stay on top of your game (just like those other business owners seem to be) and banish the shame of a MacGyver'd business forever.

Hand-crafted Curriculum ✍️
01
Workshop 1- Your Productivity Profile and why it matters
Any business decluttering conversation must begin with self-awareness and a keen awareness of how you work best. In this workshop, we'll help you identify you productivity profile as a first step towards creating the structure that supports how you function in your business (and the world!)
02
Workshop 2 - Your apps are not your system
The next step is awareness of systems, which are not the equivalent of the apps you use. In this workshop, we'll take a deep dive into your current system, opening the pandora's box of why it feels like you can never get it right. This is the springboard for the next step, which is getting it right.
03

04
Workshop 4 - Rubber band strategies to keep your business healthy
No one wants to feel like their business would fall apart if they had to deal with life for a week or two (or five). In this workshop we'll work through a number of easy-to-implement strategies to make your business resilient in the face of future uncertainty.
05
Workshop 5 - Leveraging systems for your Future Self
Want to make things easier for your Future Self? Who doesn't!? This workshop will walk you through options for bringing more ease into how things run on the back end of your business that your Future Self will thank you for.

Workshop 6 - Space for scale + graduation
In this final workshop we're going to work through how you can continue to grow your business with space for scaling it in a way that your systems support, leaving you the creative space to...well...create! And we'll also have a little graduation par-t. 🥳
