Helping busy solo entrepreneurs save 30+ hours per month | Automate the tasks you hate, so you can spend more time doing what you love | Automation Alchemist 🧪

Are you working around the clock to keep your business afloat? From marketing to writing, accounting to customer service, you're juggling it all. It's exhausting.

You're not alone. This is a common struggle for solo-entrepreneurs and digital creators. The demands of your business often sideline the need for strategic focus and direction, leading to a vicious cycle of low-value tasks.

Don't blame yourself. When you're in the thick of running a business, finding time for growth planning can feel like a luxury. But what if it didn't have to be?

Imagine having:

• Simple but powerful automations.
• Streamlined workflows and systems.
• Time dedicated to strategic growth planning.

This is the promise of Hidden Levers. As a fellow solopreneur, I've walked in your shoes. Nine years ago, I was where you are now.

Today, I'm on a mission to help creative solopreneurs like you:

• Grow a profitable business without burning out.
• Do the work you love and enjoy.
• Achieve time-freedom.

Every Tuesday, I share actionable frameworks, resources, and tips that leverage AI/Tech tools so you can reclaim your time and do the work you enjoy—all in five minutes or less.

I understand now why people want to quit everything and buy a farm.

Went a bit off the road and got stuck in the mud.

Family and friends had fun because of the "adventure" and I had a ton of physical work without news and social media.

What a wonderful day it was.

Thinking of coding agents as humans doesn’t work for me. They are not.

They don't build an internal representation of my codebase and often violate invariants no matter how much I update the AGENTS file.

I find it better to think of them as solution-bruteforcing machines. They are generating code that fits the requirements in the context I feed them. All changes should be scoped and targeted. 

It might be a fundamental problem with LLMs.

AI changes the energy levels I can operate at.

Built a Chrome extension and submitted it to the Chrome Store. 

You can already see how tired I was after the swimming lesson yesterday. Then 2 hours of football. 

I came home and, at the customer's request, I implemented a tiny but somewhat complex feature with Claude Code assistance. 

It would be impossible in the past. I would go to sleep and take a week to implement the feature.
