I build operating systems that work on Notion. Take a look around and see where good planning can take you.

Tired of paying for:

- Projects
- CRM
- Accounting

I built the Business OS for Notion.

One workspace. Every department.
Sales, Ops, Finance, and HR—all connected.

Discounted for the next 10 days!

Check it out and let me know what you think👇

Does anyone have advise on how to explain the problem that led you to the solution?

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@INTERIORPORN1 Manifesting!

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@feyiszn I may already be working on a solution to this👀

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@julianwhatif Sometimes you just LIKE your post THAT much😁

[MARQ. @reMARQable_]

I can't stand a “hey” cliffhanger message.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@mrmikeMTL Absolutely! You sometimes need some Nickleback to make it through the day 😂

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@erden_xi Any type of financials. It's definitely the part most people hate, but it's still worth doing the old-fashioned way, especially at scale.

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@uffyebanda Hello! (from someone equally as scared😅)

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@adnaannasir_ @neerajjj6785 Absolutely agree!

[WhatEllieSees @WhatEllieSees]

@meetedzenebubu @NotionHQ Agreed! I absolutely love this product, and it's definitely the main one that I keep coming back to!

Unlimited potential✨

[TORRO ⚙️ AUTOMATION ENGINEER @TorrontoArts]

Want to get more out of your hours?

Evaluate your Business with the following Framework:

THE LEVERAGE AUDIT

Why is manual work the problem?

With manual work every Monday, you basically start from zero again.

An asset keeps creating value after the original work is done.

And this audit will help you find where you can create more of it.

⸻

PART 1 — THE LEVERAGE TEST

Write down the 5 activities that consume most of your working time.

⸻

PART 2 — SCORE YOUR WORK

Give each major activity a score from 0–3.

REPEATABILITY

0: I must start over every time.

1: Parts can be reused.

2: Most of the work can be reused.

3: I can create it once and benefit repeatedly.

SCALE

0: One unit of effort serves one person.

1: I can serve a few people simultaneously.

2: I can serve many people with limited extra effort.

3: Serving another person costs almost no additional effort.

OWNERSHIP

0: Someone else owns almost all the upside.

1: I capture some of the upside.

2: I own most of what I create.

3: I own an asset that can continue producing value.

COMPOUNDING

0: Tomorrow I start again.

1: Some benefits remain.

2: Today’s work noticeably improves tomorrow’s position.

3: Each unit of work makes future units more valuable.

Add the four numbers together.

0–3: Labor

You are mostly exchanging time for output.

4–7: Leveraged labor

Some of your effort survives after you stop working.

8–10: Asset building

Your work increasingly creates reusable value.

11–12: Compounding asset

You may have something capable of producing disproportionate results over time.

⸻

PART 3 — FIND YOUR LEVERAGE GAP

Now look at the activities with the lowest scores.

Ask:

“How can I make this work reusable?”

Examples:

Instead of answering the same customer question 20 times → write a guide once

Instead of manually doing the same process → build a system, template, or automation

Instead of selling another hour → package what you know into a product

Instead of consuming information → turn what you learn into intellectual property

Instead of creating isolated posts → build a content library that allows you to iterate

Instead of only earning money → buy assets that can compound it

The goal is to make your work accumulate.

⸻

PART 4 — THE ASSET CHALLENGE

Choose ONE asset you can build over the next 30 days.

It should pass three tests:

You own it.

It can create value more than once.

Its value can increase as you keep building it.

My asset:

⸻

Who does it create value for?

⸻

What problem does it solve?

⸻

How can it create value while I’m not actively working on it?

⸻

What will I build this week?

⸻

⸻

You still need to work hard.

But if a growing percentage of your effort goes into assets, something interesting starts happening:

Yesterday’s work starts helping you today.

Then today’s work helps you tomorrow.

Eventually, you’re no longer relying entirely on the hours you can personally work.

⸻

WHAT’S NEXT?

This audit gives you the first question:

Where am I working without building assets?

But there are many different forms of leverage—and each works differently.

In The Laws of Leverage, I break down how to identify, build, and combine assets that can multiply your output, business, and wealth.

If you are interested in learning more about assets, you can find the link to my book in my bio.

Definitely calling myself out with this one😅

You know what was an underrated luxury before the 90s?

Being unreachable.

@Negawatt_Nate @NotionHQ Wow that's amazing! Notion is really fun to learn, and with all the constant improvements, there's always something new!

@ephhemere Just finished The Library After Dark by Andy Pliego, and it is one of the most interesting things I've read in a while. Couldn't put it down!
