Small Business Workflow Automation Made Simple
16 Sep 2025
If you’re running your business on caffeine and copy-paste, it’s time to simplify with small business workflow automation. In this episode, Donna breaks down what automation actually means for small business owners — without the jargon, tech overwhelm, or expensive software rabbit holes. You’ll learn how to spot repetitive tasks stealing your time, use a simple three-level framework to streamline your operations, and automate key parts of your business so you can focus on growth. Donna also shares common mistakes to avoid, how to calculate the ROI of automation, and quick wins you can set up this week. If your to-do list keeps getting longer no matter how hard you work, this episode will help you automate the right things so your business runs smoother and you get your time (and sanity) back. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources & Links Book a Focus and Freedom Call to map out what to automate first. https://www.ceoamplify.ca/focus Free resource: CEO Power Hour Playbook Download it at https://www.ceoamplify.ca/powerhour What You’ll Learn in This Episode The true cost of not automating (hint: it’s more than just wasted time) The difference between automation vs. delegation and why you need both A 3-level framework for automation that keeps things simple and scalable How to use the Rinse and Repeat Rule to spot tasks you should automate first The tech audit approach to avoid overwhelm and tool overload Common myths and mistakes about automation (and how to avoid them) How to calculate the ROI of automation so you know it’s worth the effort Eight quick wins you can automate this week to save hours instantly Why This Matters Too many business owners are building bigger hamster wheels for themselves.

Small business workflow automation isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing less of the wrong things so you have more capacity for the right things. Enjoyed this episode?
