This happens in all industries.

Imagine you're a freelance graphic designer. You're constantly juggling projects, jumping from client emails to design software, then back to proposals. Every new project feels like starting from scratch - chasing down client requirements, negotiating rates, building mood boards, and finally getting to the design phase itself. It's a chaotic scramble, and by the end of the week, you're burnt out and unsure where half your time went.

Then, you decide to implement some systems. You create a standardized onboarding process with a questionnaire to gather client needs upfront. You develop templates for proposals and contracts to save time on negotiations. You use project management software to track timelines, deadlines, and client communication. These systems become your "leverage."

Suddenly, you're not reinventing the wheel with every project. The onboarding process gathers information efficiently, proposals practically write themselves, and communication is streamlined through the project software. This frees up your time and mental energy to focus on growing!

This is the power of leveraging systems in business. It's about working more efficiently.

But I know what you're thinking: "I don't have time to do that!" and I get it but it's not going to fix itself until you do.
