Dubsado’s Recurring Invoice feature is one of its coolest, but one of the questions I see all the time is about how to set up a reminder for a recurring invoice BEFORE the due date. While possible, the way to accomplish this is not at all intuitive, so I thought a how-to blog was due!

You’re not “different” or “more dedicated” to your business because you insist on doing everything manually or refuse to use a system with automation.
AUTOMATION ≠ ROBOTIC and
MANUAL ≠ MORE PERSONAL!

Once you’ve got a beautifully set up system with automation and organization all built-in, it’s easy to understand what you gain from investing in a system strategist, but it’s kind of hard to conceptualize all that when you’re still noodling on the decision.

The thing is, I can SHOW you how much money you GAIN by choosing to invest in a system strategist, and I’m not keeping that information secret, I’m sharing it with you here.

Why am I rambling about how much I love Stripe today? Because I constantly see sooooo many people saying that it takes them forever to get their money, and they end up switching to a processor like PayPal who just randomly decides they get to hold on to your money for days and makes you jump through hoops to receive it. I’m here to tell you how you can get your money quickly with Stripe.

With only one life to live, I value being as efficient with my HAVE TOs as humanly possible, leaving more time for all of my GET TOs. This means that automating business admin tasks is priority #1.

It’s not always easy or straightforward, but it’s ALWAYS worth it. I have a stubborn belief that whatever I want is possible, which means that I chisel my way through learning new tools and processes until I get EXACTLY what I want.

That’s how I’ve been able to create this completely hands-off process for selling my membership through ThriveCart and delivering it through MemberVault.

There are so many times when you want to give a client the option to book a paid appointment with you RIGHT from the start of the process in Dubsado- you know, like when photographers want to offer Mini Sessions, or when interior designers want to offer Consultations, or consultants/copywriters/web designers want to offer Strategy Sessions, or when mobile bar owners want to offer Cocktail Tastings, or when brand designers (or anyone else) wants to offer VIP Days… I could go on and on! That said, there are a MILLION nuances and things that you need to know in order to use a scheduler effectively for literally any of this, which is why I’ve created this guide to using a paid Dubsado Scheduler. Even though this “guide” is really just a regular ol’ blog, it’s one I’ll be coming back to regularly and adding to as questions, updates, and common mistakes come up!

A few years ago, Dubsado released a feature to their workflows known as “approvals”. For a minute, it felt like these approvals were answering what SO MANY PEOPLE were asking for – a way to make sure their automations did not fire without their express permission.

Unfortunately, the “Approvals” function misses the mark in a number of ways. Here’s why I never use Dubsado Workflow Approvals (and what I do instead).

Sometimes you want to manually schedule an appointment with a client, but you still want them to get a confirmation email and reminder emails. Using the scheduler on the client’s behalf is the best way to achieve this.

I don’t know about you, but I’m TERRIBLE at this whole “repurpose your content” thing. Like, I remembered to make the content once, WHY ISN’T THAT ENOUGH??? TheEnter my complete and utter excitement at realizing that a simple ZAP on Zapier would automatically take my newly published blogs and put them onto a designated Pinterest board!
