The Best AI Tools for Busy Women Looking to Automate Their Side Hustle
I went to an event yesterday, and it taught me that I needed to let go of doing ‘all the things’ by myself. I have started outsourcing things like video editing (that has been a grind for sure, but it has freed up my time), but I realize that I need to automate my side hustle.
It is difficult to let things go, especially because if you are anything like me, you feel like you are ‘cheating’ by now having a personal touch on your marketing. BUT that is a limiting belief. If you free up your time, you can focus on yourself, your business, your family, and your hobbies.
With that, I will give you a list of all the best AI tools you can use as a busy woman to automate your side hustle.
Before we jump in, though, sign up for my newsletter! I will send you useful emails about improving your marketing and making more money with less stress :))
