The Situation

You've built something remarkable: a community where people finish projects they thought were impossible. But your personal availability has become the bottleneck.

Your current week: Teaching (high-value) + Support (repetitive) + Onboarding (time-consuming) + Content (creative) + Operations (necessary). You're at capacity. Every hour on repetitive work is an hour not on strategic work.

The Solution: Three Strategic Levers

Lever 1

FAQ Bot

Answers common questions 24/7 in your voice. Save ~2 hours/week.

Lever 2

Learning Pathways

New members self-serve. Onboarding <30 min instead of hours.

Lever 3

Clarity Assistant

Reviews lessons before publishing. Save 30-60 min per lesson.

Expected Outcome

✓ Month 1: FAQ Bot live, saving ~2 hours/week
✓ Month 3: New member onboarding automated, support volume down 30-40%
✓ Month 6: You can take 2 weeks off without systems breaking
✓ Month 12: 4-5 hours/week freed up. Ready to grow 2-3x sustainably.

Phase C: CLARITY

What is actually happening in this business right now?

▼

The Bottleneck

Your personal availability. You're doing six jobs simultaneously, all of which depend on you.

What's Actually Working

✓ Teaching methodology (proven, members finish projects)
✓ Community culture (safe, welcoming, rare)
✓ Member retention (high, organic referrals)
✓ Market demand (strong post-pandemic interest)

The Real Advantage

You've created a rare combination: personal teaching relationship at scale. Systematize your voice and standards, and you can grow 2-3x without losing the personal feel.

Phase A: ALIGNMENT

What should this business actually optimize for?

▼

The Dominant Objective

Reduce founder-dependent manual work by 60% without compromising member experience or teaching quality.

Your Goals (Translated into Action)

Support volume: 5 hrs/week → <1 hr/week

New member onboarding: Hours of hand-holding → <30 min self-service

Capacity: 100 members → 250-300 members

Sustainability: Depends on you → Runs without you
