Months of fixing spreadsheets as favours. Then a real client asked me to build a real system, and I spent weeks trying to put a price on myself, panicked, sent the number anyway, and now I wait.

For the past few weeks I've been helping small companies automate workflows and analyse data. Most of them have flowing income, real clients, real revenue — and not a single source of truth. Just spreadsheets duct-taped together.
