What is a workflow? How do I automate my business? How can I create an SOP? How do I launch a digital product? How can I organize my business and run it as a small business owner? How can I grow my email list realistically? How can I grow my small business? What are all the puzzle pieces I need to understand that impact the BACKEND of my business?
And the biggest question of all is, “Am I smart enough to figure out systems, workflows, sops, how to grow an email list and can I launch products and still keep everything organized in my business as a solo business owner?” (Which by the way, YES YOU ARE smart enough to figure this out + and YES you CAN be organized and streamlined to best impact the backend of your business. And most importantly, YES you can slowly learn about the puzzle pieces of workflows, systems, sops, email list growth, and launches to best impact the BACKEND of your business!)
Yes, I know that there are so many backend puzzle pieces to run your own business, but that is why The Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast was created!
The Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast is a podcast for creative business owners who want to learn tangible steps to automate their business through workflows, systems, tools, and strategy in order to go from scattered to streamlined with purpose. Because even muggles can become automated wizards.
Come join me every week to see the magic in automating your business by giving you an inside look into my own business and journey to strategic systems. Plus, I’ll be bringing on guest experts who will share their experiences in strategic workflows, systems, and sops so you can learn along with me!
Not a creative business owner? That's okay! You should still listen in for some strategy when it comes to running your own small business in all things workflows.

Customer Reviews
A must-listen for soloprenuers
I’m so thrilled to have found Dolly’s podcast. Systems are key to taking biz to the “next level” and I appreciate that the strategies on this show are approachable for the average business owner operating without a large team. Thanks for all the great information Dolly!
Systems and workflow BFF
Dolly’s podcast feels like you are sitting right next to her having a cup of coffee together. She breaks down something as complicated as systems and workflows into bite sized actionable pieces anyone can take.
Dolly doesn’t hold back
Dolly and her guests pull back the curtain on granular specifics behind their systems and workflows. She’s transparent and shares from a place of honesty and expertise. I’ve particularly enjoyed her episodes on collaboration and summits. They provide so much value and are unlike any other resource I’ve seen on this topic.
