The Doers Member of the Month emails are chosen at random from members of our membership  The Doers,  where we share tons of daily business tips and inspiration as well as provide a resource library of 55+ downloads, templates, exercises and more.

We began this series because we realized we have the coolest members ever.

We could do what other people do and charge $$$ for them to be exposed to our audience and for you to learn about their services, or … we could just celebrate them because they deserve it?! Seems obvious to me.

Shoutout to Ruby, our first member of the month for January (yes we’re late! lol), and we hope you enjoy this series!

What first got you started in running your business?

For the past six years of my life, I’ve been working furiously at tech startups specializing in automation for businesses of all sizes. I fell in love with the way tech and automation could help businesses operate more efficiently and expand their capacity to help more people.

Tech and systems are my absolute zone of genius. But what gets me most hyped about tech and systems is implementing them for a business I care deeply about. So I connected my skill with the industry I love more than any other–health & fitness. As health + fitness consumer, I’m able to help these businesses implement tech and systems that not only make their lives easier, but also makes their client experience better.

What is your niche, and why are you super passionate about it?

Fit Systems Consulting supports female solopreneurs in the health, fitness, and wellness space. I’m incredibly passionate about helping these solopreneurs because of the way they helped me when I was experiencing corporate burnout.

I truly believe that the work health + fitness coaches do is so important to women’s well-being, and so I love giving back to them by helping them leverage systems, tech, and automations that allow them to avoid burnout while running their business.

If you could give one piece of advice over and over, what would it be?

Do what makes you money, and find a way to simplify or automate the rest. You will feel so much more fulfilled as a business owner when you spend time doing what you love, and what made you start your business to begin with.

What was a lesson you learned in business that was hardest for you to learn? And what did you take away from that?

One of the hardest things I had to learn, was how to trust myself. In my first year of business, I was inspired by women in the online space who had the success I wanted, and I was eager to learn from them. So I signed up for course after course, program after program, and cluttered my mind with so much information that I felt stuck and didn’t know what to do with all of it. It wasn’t until I took a program hiatus and really trusted myself to do the work and figure some things out on my own that I started to feel more confident in my own abilities and not reliant on having someone to validate my decisions.

Tell us about a time where you realized how much you were capable of.

The realization of how much I was capable of kicked in when I completed my first client project. When I started out, all I had was an idea of how I could use my skills from my 9-5 to help other businesses, and a “it’s just a little side-hustle” mentality. But when this client got my pitch email about how I could help her streamline and automate her business, her response was “Your timing is perfect because this is exactly what I need help with, and I had no idea that this was even something I could hire for” After doing a complete overhaul of her systems and showing her what time-savings were even possible with the right tech and automations I just knew that I had to help more people and that my “little side-hustle” could actually become my full-time job.

What’s your go to product/service and where can we find more about it?

My most booked service is my Systems & Operations Management package for $3,000 CAD / $2233 USD. This is a 3mo retainer where I will work with you inside of your business to help you simplify, streamline, and automate your systems and operations to help you decrease your time spent working IN your business, and increase your time spent with clients or simply enjoying more of life.

What would you say to someone interested in working with you?

If you’re feeling like you’re on the edge of burnout but know that there’s so much more you want to do, and more people you want to help, let’s have a chat. I want to help make business feel easier for you, and map out what we need to do to help you get there.
