  • I Tried That and It Didn’t Work: The Real Reason Your Systems Fail
    Aug 4 2025

    Ever signed up for a shiny new tool—like online scheduling, a missed-call text back, or even Facebook ads—only to say later: “I tried that and it didn’t work”?

    • Why “it didn’t work” usually isn’t your fault
    • The hidden gaps that keep most pros stuck at 10% capacity
    • Why Facebook ads aren’t a magic bullet (and what to fix first)
    • What a full lift automation stack actually looks like
    • How to build smarter, one piece at a time, without overwhelm
