Emily

Six years in marketing, coach, about to launch her own thing. Building a puzzle teaser, a launch pad, a new website, a dashboard, and a client audit document, all from one root system.

Who Emily is

Emily has spent the last six years in marketing, most recently inside an agency. She is also a coach. She started her own business two to three years ago alongside the agency work, and is now stepping fully into it.

She came into the sprint at exactly the right moment: a few weeks out from launch, with the foundation still being poured. She had used plenty of AI tools before. What she had not done was build the system the launch would run on. So she did.

She is non-technical. Before this, she had never opened the terminal. By the end of the sprint, she said the only thing she opens now is the terminal.

What she's building right now

A pre-launch puzzle teaser at emilytoddmckee.com/launch. Drag the pieces into the slots, drop your email, get notified when the site goes live. No Flodesk, no Kit, no scheduler in between. The whole flow runs on her own stack: Claude Code and Hostinger, and nothing else.

A launch pad that keeps her honest about her own strategy. The first pages of her new website, built in roughly a day because the system already knew her copy, her brand, her photos, and the About page she had drafted earlier. A personal dashboard pulling her transits, her chart, and the rhythms she actually plans her week around.

And a client audit document that used to take her hours in Canva. Branded, structured, ready in minutes, because the system already holds the context of the work.

The layer underneath

Emily came in curious, with no plan to build anything specific. She left building in five directions, and kept showing up. That is what the root system is for.

Puzzle teaser and lead capture

A gamified pre-launch piece at emilytoddmckee.com/launch. Drag-and-drop puzzle, email capture, confirmation email on signup, and a launch email queued for the day the site goes live. No Flodesk, no Kit, no scheduler. Roughly an hour, end to end.

Mind

Launch pad

A working document that holds her launch strategy and keeps her accountable to it. Plans, decisions, and the next move always in one place, in her own words.

Mind

The new website

The first pages of her new site, built in roughly a day. Photos, About copy, and brand voice already in the system, so it knew what to draft. The launch version goes live next week.

Mind

Personal dashboard

Human design, astrology, and the daily rhythms she actually plans around. The system pulls only from the things she has set herself. It remembers, and it stays specific to her, not a generic reading borrowed from somewhere else.

Soul

Cycle awareness in the planning layer

Her cycle and her energy carried into the same view she plans her week from. Not a separate app to check, just part of the daily picture.

Body

Branded client audit document

The audit she used to rebuild from scratch in Canva for every client. Now generated in minutes, fully branded, with the context already inside the system. The goal is to live it inside a client portal on her website, alongside courses.

Heart
Emily

"I used to think it was far too difficult for someone without a tech background. You completely prove yourself wrong. You prove everyone wrong."

Emily, on the mindset shift

What's next

Launch week. The site goes live, the puzzle starts collecting emails, and the launch pad keeps her grounded in her actual plan. After that: a client portal on the website where her people sign in, courses live alongside, and the audit document she has already built becomes part of the way she works with each client. One root system, growing as the business does.

Build your own

Emily's system is hers. Yours will look nothing like it. That's the point.
