Apply It: Which Wave Are You Riding? (Compute Waves Worksheet)
Pick one workflow you ran by hand this week, name the wave it's riding, and price what staying there costs you per month. Then move it up one wave.
Apply It: Which Wave Are You Riding? (Compute Waves Worksheet)
The series showed you the timeline — this sheet puts your workflows on it. One recurring workflow, three waves (by hand → voice-first → agent-run), one habit that moves it up, and a dollar figure on staying put.
8–12 minutes. The assignment isn't "transform your business" — it's move ONE workflow up ONE wave this week.
The fastest way through it: treat it like madlibs. Open optimustranscriber.com, hit record, and read the sheet out loud — saying your real answer wherever there's a blank. Paste the transcript into your agent and it builds from what you said. You talk at 200 words a minute and type at 60 — this is the difference between "I'll do it later" and done before your coffee's cold.
