Automating Your Business
6 weeks • 2 sessions/week • 60 min/session
Free
Most small businesses lose hours a week to work a computer should be doing: retyping the same figures, chasing approvals, building the same report every month. This course starts from your own processes, finds the ones worth automating, and builds them with tools you already pay for.
What you'll learn
- Map a process and identify where the time actually goes
- Automate repetitive spreadsheet work
- Connect the tools you already use so data stops being retyped
- Build an approval or reminder flow that runs itself
- Generate a recurring report automatically
- Judge what should be automated and what should not
