The Breaking Point:

“I was answering phones during treatments, staying until 9 PM doing admin work, and posting on Instagram at midnight. I had no life, and my business was still struggling. Something had to change.” – Lisa Williams, Glow Beauty Fitzroy

Lisa’s Business Before Sophi AI:

Financial Snapshot:

  • Monthly revenue: $18,500
