Automating Your Business: Tools and Strategies for Women Entrepreneurs

The Real Reason You're Still Doing It All Manually

You know what’s wild?

We’ll trust a stranger on the internet with business advice… but we won’t trust ourselves enough to hand over a calendar booking link.

And I get it.

Automation sounds cold. Impersonal. Like you’re handing off your carefully-crafted customer experience to a robot named Chad who’s going to screw it up and email your client the wrong thing.

So we keep doing it all ourselves.

Replying to every email. Manually onboarding every client. Copy-pasting Zoom links like we’re on a loop.

But here’s the kicker: doing it all yourself isn’t noble—it’s expensive.

Time you spend on admin is time you’re not spending on CEO work. Strategy. Money-making. Hell, even resting like a human being.

Automation Doesn’t Kill Connection—It Protects It

One of the biggest lies women in business are sold is that automation = disconnection.

That the more you systemize, the less “personal” your brand becomes.

But what if it’s the opposite?

What if automation is the very thing that gives you the space to show up fully—without resentment, delay, or burnout?

What if not automating is the reason you’re showing up rushed, flustered, and wondering if you even like your business anymore?

Here’s the truth: automation doesn’t replace you.

It just replaces the shit that never needed to be done by you in the first place.

Start With the Stuff That Drains You First

Forget the influencers with their 42-step funnel maps and $3,000/month setups.
We start small. Strategic. Personal.

What’s the one task that makes you sigh every time it lands in your inbox?
Start there.

For most of us, it's something like:

Booking calls
Sending welcome emails
Delivering freebies
Following up on invoices

That’s where you build your first automation.

Not because you’re lazy—but because you’re done being held hostage by your calendar.

And no, you don’t need to Frankenstein this together with 5 different tools.

The Tools We Actually Use (And Recommend to Our Clients)

We use Systeme.io for most of our automation because it just… works. Funnels. Emails. Product delivery. Even affiliate payouts. It handles it all in one place without making you feel like you’re solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.

We also build visual workflows in Trello—with automations that move cards, assign tasks, and send notifications based on due dates. Yes, really.

It’s one of the first things we set up inside The CODE Experience, because you shouldn’t need a team of 10 to feel like a business owner.

But What If I Hate Tech?

Then don’t do tech for tech’s sake.

Automation shouldn’t feel like a system someone else designed that you’re awkwardly trying to live inside. It should feel like relief. Like walking into your office and knowing 10 things already happened before you opened your laptop.

And here’s the thing: most of the women I work with don’t hate tech.
They hate tools that aren’t built for the way their brain works.

Systeme.io, Trello, Metricool… these aren’t just “tools.”
They’re extensions of your energy. Your values. Your calendar.

And when you automate with you in mind? That’s when everything shifts.

Final Word: You’re Not a Robot. So Stop Running Your Business Like One.

Automation isn’t about replacing the heart of your business.
It’s about freeing you up to lead with it.

Because the truth is: no one’s coming to save your time.
If you want breathing room, boundaries, and bandwidth—you’ve got to build them in.

That starts with systemizing the obvious, so you can focus on what’s actually important.
