The “Tech Tangle” Wake-Up Call: How One Entrepreneur Finally Broke Free

It started with a sticky note.

Actually… more like a mountain of sticky notes.

They were stuck to her monitor, her planner, the fridge, the bathroom mirror.
All reminding her to “Send the newsletter,” “Check Zoom link,” “Invoice Gina,” or “Follow up from the freebie funnel.”

Every task had a different tool:

  • Email in Mailchimp

  • Scheduling in Calendly

  • Landing pages in Leadpages

  • Payments through Stripe

  • Course materials in Google Drive

  • And somewhere in there… an attempt to keep it all together with a color-coded spreadsheet.

▶️ By 10 a.m., her browser had 12 tabs open.

▶️ By noon, she was too frazzled to focus.

▶️ By 3 p.m., she was questioning why she started this business in the first place.

Does this sound like you?

  • You’re running your business with 9+ logins and even more tabs.

  • You’re duct-taping together a tech stack that was never meant to grow with you.

  • You’re constantly switching between platforms just to send a single email or book one call.

  • You know you need a better system... but figuring it all out feels like a full-time job.

You’re not crazy. Your tech really is doing too much.

The Real Cost of a “Duct-Tape” Business

Entrepreneurs like us often start out scrappy and resourceful.

We grab the tool that’s free, fast, or “good enough for now.”

But over time, those tools pile up.

And suddenly your business isn’t running with you—It’s running you into the ground.

Enter: The Wake-Up Call

One client told me, “Tracy, I’m running everything off muscle and Post-its. I can’t grow like this.”

That’s when I introduced her to WalkHerCRM.

It was like breathing room for her business.

No more bouncing between 6 tabs just to schedule a single client.

No more forgetting which funnel had which offer.

No more duct-taping launch emails and payment links together on the fly.

What Changed?

Emails, landing pages, texts, and payments—all in one place
Workflows that run while she sleeps
Easy client scheduling and reminders built in
A clear dashboard to see everything at a glance

And the best part?

She actually had time to enjoy her business again.

Because WalkHerCRM isn’t just a tool.

It’s a system that’s designed to simplify your systems.

Ready for Your Wake-Up Call?

If you’re feeling stretched thin by tech that’s doing too much and delivering too little…
