This one is for anyone who’s ever thought:
“I need help… but I don’t think I’m ready to hire yet.”
OR
“I don’t even know what I’d hire someone to do first.”
I lived in that weird middle ground for years.
Too busy to do everything myself. Not ready to build a huge team. Constantly switching between a hundred different jobs.
A few years ago, there is absolutely no way I could’ve handled the amount of work I do today.
No chance.
I would’ve needed tons of manpower.
A copywriter. Someone helping with strategy and reporting. Someone handling client communication. Someone organizing all the moving pieces.
I probably would’ve been losing my mind trying to manage all of them while still doing the actual work.
Today, I’m still managing clients. I’m still running the bootcamp. Still creating content. Oh and don’t forget, I’m a mom and a wife.
I’m still promoting my book. PLUS, running Substack!
Still, somehow, my life feels less chaotic than it did years ago.
I didn’t suddenly become superhuman.
I built better systems and automations.
That’s where Claude Projects completely changed things for me.
I don’t even really think of Claude as an AI tool anymore.
I think of it as a team.
From what I’ve seen, most people aren’t even scratching the surface of what it’s capable of.
The thing nobody talks about is that every time your business grows, the list of jobs grows too.
First, you need someone to help write.
Then someone to help think strategically, to analyze performance, to communicate with clients, to review contracts, to help you understand your numbers.
Eventually you realize:
You didn’t just build a business.
You accidentally became the manager of seven different departments.
Most solo operators don’t have departments.
They have themselves.
Which means you’re expected to be:
The strategist.
The writer.
The analyst.
The client manager.
The finance department.
The legal department.
And sometimes all before lunch….
A traditional team that covers all of those functions could easily cost $15,000 to $40,000 a month.
Most people simply aren’t there yet.
And honestly, I don’t think you NEED to be. Not in today’s world.
There’s now a version of that support system that costs around $20 a month.
But before I show you how I set it up, we need to talk about why most people never get anywhere close to this.
