My Money Runs Itself (The 3 Automations That Changed Everything)
Share

I help creators take control of their money without spreadsheets, overwhelm, or shame.

Creators earn, spend, save, and grow money differently than 9–5ers. That's why we need a different playbook.

Each week, I share a playbook to help you understand your money, make smarter decisions, and build a business that pays you back—with freedom, not stress.


Most creators think automation is about convenience.

It's not.

It's about removing yourself from your worst financial habits.

I used to check my bank balance and make money decisions based on mood.

Good month? Upgrade everything. Bad month? Panic and freeze.

The problem wasn't the decisions. It was the decision-maker.

Me. At 11 PM. Scrolling through expenses after a long day.

That's not financial planning. That's financial chaos.

Why willpower fails with money

Money decisions happen when you're tired, stressed, or emotional.

Exactly when your judgment is worst.

  • You overspend when anxious

  • Underpay yourself when uncertain

  • Make "temporary" choices that become permanent

The solution isn't more discipline. It's fewer decisions.

Automation doesn't just move money. It removes the moments when you sabotage yourself.

Most creators automate backwards

They start with the easy stuff:

  • Netflix subscriptions

  • Coffee deliveries

  • Software tools

But they manual-manage the money that matters:

  • Profit allocation

  • Emergency funds

  • Investment contributions

Wrong order. Wrong outcomes.

You automate your $15 coffee before your $1,500 profit distribution.

The real power is automating the money that disappears before you can spend it badly.

The Stack Method changes everything

I learned this the expensive way: automate what hurts most when you get it wrong.

Today's playbook breaks down the exact 3-layer system I use—and the specific percentages that make it work.

No more money decisions. No more financial anxiety.

Just a system that builds wealth while you build your business.

Let's automate your financial life.
