How Systems Can Build Success with Kaci Ackerman
SHOW NOTES: Episode 63
Today we are excited to have Kaci Ackerman, a ClickUp and systems expert on the show! Kaci helps people save time and build efficiency in their business so they can build their business around their life versus letting their business dictate their life.
On today’s episode, Kaci explains what ClickUp is, why she prefers it over other project management tools and if it is something she would recommend for somebody who is in the beginning stages of blogging. We chat about what a system is, the importance of picking the best system for your business and why you should build a system based on where you want your business to be and not where you are right now.
Kaci shares some basic things bloggers can put into place as they start using ClickUp, how having a system in place will save you a lot of time in the future, and why you should have the mindset of treating your business like you are the CEO to set yourself up for success.
This was such a great conversation with Kaci and we hope you find her knowledge of systems useful for you and your business. We want to hear how this episode helped you! Let’s continue the conversation over on Instagram (@sparkmediaconcepts). We’d love to hear from you!

This was my first episode listening to y’all! I loved it. I’m launching my blog (first post was yesterday) to help with my e-commerce SEO.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for almost 2 decades and absolutely agree systems are crucial. The first blog was so lengthy to write and get the alt tags and images formatted and Pinterest links. No joke!! I started writing a check list of all the things I did but with so many areas as a freelancer and business owner my brain is always on. Systems are the key.
Thank you!!
And I resonated with the last couple of minutes where she mentioned in case of emergency you need systems. My son is 13 but when he was 7 had a very bad incident at school and I had to have him home and switch schools it was awful. But I had to freeze my podcast and never came back to it. I know the reason was feeling like I was starting over from scratch. It was exhausting.
Hi Amie!! Congrats on launching the blog! So glad you found this episode as helpful as we did!
