“Lana and Jo were with me every step of the way, and obstacles that would prevent me from moving forward, like my lack of knowledge of creating graphics, were handled by them so I could focus on doing work towards my goal. I feel inspired to develop the skills in my chosen niche and branch out to bigger related skills like full-stack development.

-Google Forms & Automation Specialist

Phase 1: Strategy & clarity

The challenge: James possessed deep technical expertise with a background in Computer Science and Engineering, but he lacked an online presence, a portfolio, and a clear direction. He struggled with the belief that his knowledge was "too basic" to help people and didn't know where to begin, or how to market his skills without proper credentials and experience.

Strategic Guidance: We moved away from the initial broad, generic "Workflow Specialist" label and pivoted his positioning to something highly specific and tangible: a Google Forms and Automation Specialist. We simplified his messaging to focus on helping solo founders and small businesses eliminate messy intake processes by building smart, automated forms entirely within Google's free ecosystem.

Content Strategy: We developed his professional LinkedIn presence, positioning him as the go-to expert for form automations, and provided content calendar guidance to begin his client outreach.

Phase 2: Production & integration

The challenge: Proving his value by building a concrete, functional case study that solves a massive administrative pain point for founders.

The Build (Service Packaging):

We guided James through building his flagship portfolio piece: a custom lead qualification diagnostic tool for Yōso Studio. Using Google Forms, conditional branching logic, and App Script, he successfully built a smart client intake system that automatically filters leads and triggers automated email confirmations, proving he can save businesses hours of manual tabor without them needing to pay for expensive enterprise software.

Results

By the end of the 90 days, James transformed from feeling uninspired and lost into a confident specialist with a clear, highly marketable service to sell.

Deliverable Summary:

  • Visual & Brand Identity: Fully optimised LinkedIn profile explicitly positioned as a Google Forms and Automation Specialist.

  • Live Portfolio: A professional portfolio website showcasing his custom form automations as concrete case studies.

  • Functional Assets: A working, automated diagnostic tool using conditional logic and App Script, built entirely on a free ecosystem.

  • Strategic Roadmap: A clear, actionable path and outreach system to land his first $1,000 project.

“The Intentional Journey helped me re-frame my mindset and rediscover old skills I can use to help others and (hopefully) make a living. If you feel lost and need help to find your focus again, the Intentional Journey is a good starting point.”
