Streamlined Solopreneur: Business Systems That Free Up Family Time
You started your business for family time and flexibility, but now you're checking emails at the playground and working after bedtime. Your business runs you instead of you running it—and your kids are competing with your phone for attention. Imagine actually being present during family time. Picture taking real vacations without your laptop, making it to every school pickup, and having your business run smoothly while you focus on what matters most. I'm Joe Casabona, and I help busy solopreneur parents build streamlined business systems that create real work-life balance. After my own overwhelm led to a breakdown, I rebuilt my business around automated processes that save me 12+ hours weekly. Each week, I share proven systems, time-saving strategies, and practical automation that let you step away from your business without everything falling apart. Because your family time should be sacred—not interrupted by client emergencies. Stop working nights and weekends. Start building systems that run your business while you're at the park with your kids.

I'm recording from Kit Studios in Boise while attending conferences, which got me thinking about something crucial to my business success—my travel system.

I've been on a mission to use my phone way less this year, sparked by reading The Anxious Generation and that magical Disney World trip where I barely touched my phone. The solution? iPhone focus modes - my secret weapon for controlling the fire hose of information instead of letting it control me. Think about it: you
Last year, my wife and I made the somewhat terrifying decision to skip summer camp for our kids to save $9,000-$10,000 and spend more intentional time together. It wasn't perfect—I gave myself a solid B—but we survived, and more importantly, we're doing it again this year. The financial savings were huge, but the real
