Episode #62 - Cool Is Not a KPI: Stop Buying Useless Software

You don’t have a tech stack. You have a graveyard of good intentions.

You keep signing up for new tools thinking this one will fix the chaos, but all you’re doing is layering bandaids over bad decisions and calling it “streamlining.” You’re wasting time, energy, and money on software that looks good but does nothing. And you know it.

In this quick and dirty episode of The Queen of Automation, I’m breaking down the exact 3-question filter I use to shut down shiny object syndrome before it costs you another dime. I’ll teach you how to run napkin ROI math in under a minute, kill distractions in your tech stack, and stop confusing “cool features” with actual outcomes. This is your wake-up call.
