- Guide 01
The Smart Starter's Guide to Business Automation
A practical, opinionated guide to choosing between native integrations, Zapier, Make, and self-hosted N8N — written for founders who'd rather ship than research.

The Solopreneur's Operating System

11 chapters · 4,410 words · ~20 min reading
- Guide 04
The Entrepreneur's Data Playbook
What to actually track, and how to make it useful. The five numbers that matter, your first dashboard, and how to make decisions with imperfect data.
11 chapters · 4,445 words · ~20 min reading
The guides are designed to be read together.
Each guide stands alone — but they overlap deliberately. The Tech Stack guide picks the tools; Business Automation wires them together; the Solopreneur's OS gives you the operating model that ties everything to a weekly cadence; the Data Playbook tells you whether it's actually working.
All seven (or four) cite each other. If you buy the bundle, cross-references in the online edition link straight through — no copy-paste, no broken mental models.
Before you buy
Why these four guides together?
They're the operational core. Tech Stack tells you what to buy. Business Automation tells you how to wire it together. The Solopreneur's OS gives you the operating model so you don't burn out. The Data Playbook tells you what to measure so you know it's working. Each one stands alone — together they're the spine of running a small business well.
How is this different from the Full Series?
The Full Series adds three AI- and no-code-focused guides on top: AI Tools for Business, the No-Code playbook, and the AI Employee guide. The Starter Bundle is the foundational operations layer; the Full Series is operations plus the modern build/automate stack.
Can I read these in any order?
Yes. Most founders start with Tech Stack (if they're new) or Business Automation (if they have tools but no glue). The Solopreneur's OS pairs well with either. The Data Playbook is the one you'll come back to once revenue starts moving.
Do I get all four immediately?
Yes. One Gumroad checkout, one access code that unlocks all four online editions plus the four PDFs. Lifetime updates on every guide.
