About this episode

Preston and Amy Suto help Jonas identify what to automate first in his solo service business and discuss the importance of managing energy for sustainable growth.

Jonas runs a solo service business and feels buried under tasks he can barely keep up with. He knows systems and automation are supposed to be the answer—but with everything on his plate, he has no idea where to even begin. Preston and Amy Suto, a seven-figure freelance writer and creator of the bestselling Substack Make Writing Your Job, walk Jonas through a practical framework for identifying what to automate first, why a time audit changes everything, and how managing your energy—not just your calendar—is the real secret to sustainable solo business growth.
