The Hustle Lie:

The Wake-Up Call:
After tracking 47 founders (including myself), I found:

  • 72% of their work was tasks that a $5/hr assistant could do.

  • Yet they refused to automate. Why?

“If I’m not drowning in work, am I even important?”

The Real Damage:
We’ve confused being busy with being valuable. Automation forces you to ask:

  • What’s left of me when the noise stops?

  • Who am I outside my to-do list?

Real Story:
M.K. (AI agency owner) landed a $12k deal through automation. She didn’t celebrate - she panicked. “If the machine can replace me today, what was I even selling yesterday?”

The Catch: Automation is a Truth Machine 🔥

What Nobody Tells You:

  • These tools will expose:

    • The toxic clients you tolerate

    • The offers nobody needs

    • Your addiction to being “busy”

Real Disaster:
A client automated everything, then discovered:

  • 70% of his “leads” were competitors spying

  • His “viral” posts were mocked in private groups

  • He’d outsourced his purpose

The Real Work: What Comes After Automation

  1. Tools don’t build businesses—they reveal what you’ve neglected.

  2. “Quiet” work isn’t lazy. It’s choosing where your humanity matters.

  3. If automation doesn’t scare you, you’re not paying attention.

“I traded 60-hour weeks for 8 hours of terror—staring at who I’d become. Then I learned to breathe again.”

Wrap Up!

P.S. Need inspiration? Here’s my embarrassing first loop: “Email me when my ex’s startup gets press.” (Hey, we all start somewhere 😅)

P.P.S. Forward this to 1 friend who’s working too hard. They’ll either thank you… or block you.
