Welcome back to Lone Wolf Unleashed—the show for solopreneurs who want to slice through admin, systemize their workflow, and win back their afternoons, all without hiring a team or losing a dime. I’m Mike, your host and fellow lone wolf, and today we’re getting hands-on with mapping your business processes using BPMN, or Business Process Model Notation.In this episode, we dive deep into how you can take the “Qualify Lead” process—from a new inquiry landing in your inbox, right through to scheduling a call or politely passing on the wrong fit—and map it visually, so you’re crystal clear on where your time goes. I’ll walk you through signing up for a free tool called Camunda Modeler, how to define every step and decision point, and where the sneaky time-sucking admin hides. Plus, we’ll talk about spotting easy automation wins—think lead forms zapping straight into your CRM—and how to plug in templates and procedures so your operation runs smooth, whether it’s just you or you’re outsourcing a sliver of work.This episode isn’t just theory—I’ll show you how real solopreneurs have shifted from 10-hour days to clocking off early, all by mapping, systemizing, and automating the right way. If you’re ready to reclaim your time, boost your efficiency, and finally get your processes out of your head and into action, you’re in the right place.Let’s get started and put those long admin-heavy afternoons behind you.
