Episode notes

As a business owner, your time is one of your most valuable assets.

It’s easy to get bogged down by day-to-day tasks that pull you away from what really matters—growing your business. Finding ways to take back your time is key to running your business smoothly and efficiently.

This is exactly the challenge Mahmoud Elsaid, founder of the content agency Content Wish, faced. Managing over 50 contractors, Mahmoud was drowning in manual tasks like processing orders, invoicing, and hiring. To fix this, he built automations that now save him more than 3 hours every single day.

In this episode, Mahmoud shares how he scaled his agency using automations and AI. He opens up about the struggles he encountered along the way and walks us through the tools and processes that helped him streamline operations.

Mahmoud also gives advice to fellow entrepreneurs who are looking to automate their agencies:

“Before you can automate your agency, you have to fix and test your processes with clear KPIs. If your processes don't work or don't achieve the required KPIs, there is no point in stressing over automation.”
