How do you decide when to automate a task in your business? 🔄

Personally, I like the idea of "3 strikes" If a task occurs 3 times, everyone should ask themselves "can we automate this?" Worst case, it leads to a more streamlined process, even if we can't automate it 100%.

This is a very interesting strategy! Automation usually starts with increasing routine tasks that take up all the time and hinder the ability to scale. I highly recommend this series of short videos for those who are just wondering if it's worth it and if it's worth it, where to start https://www.youtube.com/playlist...

3 strikes idea is good, but I think we also need to look at the ROI, how much of the effort saved, as we could prioritize on tasks with better ROI. So may be we should ask "should we automate this"

Yeah, I agree! Goes with the saying work smart, not hard! :D This is similar to our inspiration to create our product (LoonaLabs) where we automate things that take up time and effort, so we can skip the tedious or monotonous steps and focus more on refining and polishing our work instead.
