Format: 📖 Reading | Duration: 5 minHook
Your first week sets the trajectory for your entire business. Here's exactly what your AI team does in those seven days, and what you need to do alongside them.Concept
The moment you complete your business profile (Module 2), your team kicks into the 7-Day Launch Protocol. This is a coordinated sequence designed to get your business from "idea" to "ready for clients" as fast as possible.
Day 1: Foundation- Alex creates your operating plan based on your 90-day goals
- Sam begins building your website (or optimizing your existing one)
- Maya starts competitive research in your market
- You: Review Alex's operating plan and provide any corrections
- Sam sets up or optimizes your Google Business Profile
- Jordan drafts your business description, about page, and service descriptions
- Maya identifies the best social media channels for your business type
- You: Review and approve your Google Business Profile listing
- Maya delivers competitive pricing research for your area
- Riley builds a pricing model showing costs, revenue, and margins
- Alex presents a recommended pricing structure (basic/standard/premium)
- You: Review pricing, adjust based on your knowledge of the market, approve
- Maya drafts your first 5-10 social media posts
- Jordan writes your first email template (for inquiries or follow-ups)
- Sam ensures your website has clear calls-to-action and booking capability
- You: Review posts and emails, personalize with your voice, approve
- Kai sets up booking confirmations and appointment reminders
- Kai creates your post-service follow-up sequence (thank you, review request)
- Riley sets up basic expense tracking categories
- You: Test the booking flow yourself (submit a test booking, see the confirmations)
- Maya prepares your launch announcements (social media, Google, any local platforms)

- You: Share your business with friends, family, and your network. You're open.
Not Every Business Moves This Fast
If your business needs licenses, permits, or physical equipment, some of these steps shift. Alex adjusts the protocol based on your situation. A freelance copywriter might be ready for clients on Day 3. A food truck might need 30 days for permits alone. The protocol flexes to your reality.Example
Sophie started an online tutoring business. Her 7-Day Launch Protocol:- Day 1: Alex created her plan targeting high school math students, $50/hour
- Day 2: Sam built a simple one-page website with a Calendly booking link
- Day 3: Maya found that local tutors charged $40-$70/hour; Alex recommended $50 as a launch price
- Day 4: Maya wrote 5 Facebook group posts for parent communities and a Nextdoor intro post
- Day 5: Kai set up automated booking confirmations and 24-hour reminders via text
- Day 6: Jordan wrote a "launching my tutoring business" email for Sophie's personal contacts
- Day 7: Sophie sent the email to 40 people she knew. She got 3 inquiries on Day 7 and booked her first student on Day 8.
Action Item
Look at the 7-Day Launch Protocol above and identify which day you're most excited about and which one you're most nervous about. Send a message to Alex sharing both. Example: "Alex, I'm most excited about Day 4 (marketing) and most nervous about Day 3 (pricing). Can you give me extra detail on pricing when we get there?"Lesson 4.2: Live Walkthrough: Week One for a Cleaning Business

Why We're Showing a Cleaning Business: Cleaning is the most popular business type on Bizzby (along with other local services). But the 7-Day Launch Protocol works the same way regardless of your business type. The specific posts, pricing, and systems change, but the structure is identical. Key Takeaways from the Walkthrough:- The founder spent about 30 minutes per day during Week 1 (reviewing, approving, providing input)
- Agents did 90% of the setup work
- The biggest value was competitive research and pricing. Maria didn't know what to charge until Maya showed her what every competitor in Phoenix charged.
- The automated booking system was the game-changer. Before Bizzby, Maria would have been manually texting back and forth to schedule every appointment.

How to Use This
Your agents will handle most of these tasks. Your job is to review, approve, and check the boxes. Think of this less as a to-do list and more as a quality control checklist. You're making sure everything meets your standards before it goes live.Action Item
Save or print this checklist. You'll start using it as soon as you finish this course.Lesson 4.4: When Things Go Wrong
Format: 📖 Reading | Duration: 5 minHook
Things will go wrong. Not because Bizzby is broken, but because business is messy. Here's how to handle the bumps.Concept
Common Week 1 Issues (And What to Do) "Alex's recommendation doesn't match my market." This happens, especially in niche or hyperlocal businesses. Your agents use broad data and your specific inputs. If something feels off, say so.- What to do: "Alex, the pricing you recommended is too high for my area. Here's what I've seen competitors charge: [details]. Please adjust."
- Why it works: You're giving Alex real data to recalibrate.
- What to do: "Jordan, this is too corporate. Write like I'm talking to a friend at a barbecue. Casual, warm, a little funny. Here's an example of how I actually talk: [example]."
- Why it works: Agents adapt to your style. After 2-3 rounds of feedback, they'll nail it.
- What to do: "Alex, let's slow down. I can only handle 2 approvals per day right now. Please prioritize the most important items and hold the rest."
- Why it works: Alex adjusts the pace to match your capacity.
- What to do: Tell Alex exactly what happened. Include a screenshot if you can. "Alex, when I click my booking link, it goes to a blank page. Here's a screenshot."
- Why it works: Sam or Kai will fix technical issues quickly. The more detail you give, the faster the fix.
- What to do: Tell Alex. "Alex, I'm pivoting. Instead of general cleaning, I want to focus exclusively on move-in/move-out cleaning. Let's adjust everything."
- Why it works: Your agents are flexible. Pivoting on Day 4 is much easier than pivoting on Day 400.
- Your agents aren't responding at all (technical outage)
- You need to change your subscription plan
- You have billing questions
- You want to share feedback about the platform
Example
Andre started a mobile detailing business. On Day 3, Maya recommended pricing at $150 for a full detail. Andre knew from talking to car enthusiasts in his area that the sweet spot was $120-$130. He told Alex: "The pricing is too high. In my area, $130 is the ceiling for a sedan. Luxury vehicles can go to $175. Please revise the pricing based on vehicle type, not a flat rate." Maya revised the pricing within an hour. Andre's tiered pricing (sedan $120, SUV $140, luxury $175) became one of his best selling points.Action Item

Format: 🎯 Action | Duration: 15 minHook
You're about to finish Bizzby 101. One last thing: the habit that separates founders who succeed from founders who stall.Concept
The weekly review is your single most important routine as a Bizzby founder. It's 30 minutes, once a week, where you and Alex look at what happened, what worked, and what's next. What a Weekly Review Looks Like: Step 1: Read Alex's Weekly Report (5 min) Alex sends this every Monday. It includes:- What your agents accomplished last week
- Key metrics (if you're tracking: clients booked, revenue, website visits)
- Progress toward your 90-day goals
- Recommended priorities for the coming week
- What went well this week?
- What didn't go as planned?
- What did I learn about my customers?
- Is there anything my agents should know?
"Alex, here's my weekly update: What went well: Got 3 new clients from Nextdoor. The automated booking confirmation is working great and clients love the text reminders. What didn't work: Facebook posts got very low engagement. I don't think my audience is on Facebook. What I learned: Clients keep asking if I do windows too. Might add window cleaning as an upsell. This week: Let's double down on Nextdoor. Drop Facebook for now. And Maya, please research what competitors charge for window cleaning as an add-on service."Step 4: Review Pending Items (10 min) Approve or provide feedback on any items in your Tasks & Approvals queue.
Why This Works
Founders who do weekly reviews consistently:- Hit their 90-day goals 3x more often than those who don't
- Give better feedback to their agents (which improves output quality)
- Catch problems early (before they become expensive)
- Stay motivated (seeing progress each week builds momentum)
30 minutes a week. That's it. That's the difference.
Example
Keisha runs an online bookkeeping business. Her weekly review is every Monday at 8 AM with coffee. She reads Alex's report (new client inquiries, revenue update, content performance). She replies with her priorities. The whole thing takes 25 minutes. She's been doing it for 8 weeks. She went from 0 to 11 recurring clients and says the weekly review is "the most important meeting I have, and it's with my phone."Action Item
- Pick your weekly review day and time. Most founders choose Monday morning or Sunday evening.
- Block 30 minutes on your calendar. Make it recurring. Protect it like a client meeting.
- Send Alex this message:
"Alex, I've scheduled my weekly review for [day] at [time]. Please have my weekly report ready by then. Let's start this week."Congratulations. You've completed Bizzby 101.
