The Shortcut

Stop figuring it out the hard way. Take the shortcut.

Every week you'll get direct access to the workflows, automations, the strategic decisions to help you simplify and automate your business.

AI will build exactly what you ask for.
The problem is knowing what to ask.

AI can build you a workflow, write your emails, automate half your business.

But it can't tell you "here's the automation you didn't know existed that would save you three hours a week."

If you don't know the possibilities that exist — or understand the strategy behind what you're trying to build — you're just moving fast in the wrong direction.

There's no shortage of AI content right now.

What's missing is someone actually using tech, automations and AI — in a real business, on real problems, in real time — and showing you the process and strategy behind every decision.

That's what The Shortcut is. Not recycled "AI tips" that were created by AI.

The actual work, documented as it happens — including the decisions that didn't work, why it was the right time to create this, and the reasoning most people never share.

What You Get

Steph builds it. You get the shortcut.

Every week inside The Shortcut, Steph runs experiments inside her real business — testing AI workflows, building automation systems, and documenting every decision.

You get the finished thinking plus the prompts to implement it.

Every Week — The Strategy Dispatch

What's inside every shortcut

Every week you'll receive a shortcut to simplify & automate one element of your business.

Every Week

One shortcut to simplify & automate your business

Each shortcut is something Steph personally built or decided that week — broken down so you can actually use it. Not a vague tip. Not a framework with no application. The real thing, with everything you need to apply it in your own business.

💡 The concept

What the shortcut is and the strategic thinking behind why it matters and how it can help you.

🎧 The Strategy

An inside look at the strategy behind the shortcut delivered via audio from Steph.

👀 Before & after visual

A quick visual showing what the manual version looked like vs. the automated version. See the difference immediately.

🔄 Ways to adapt it

Multiple examples showing how to use this concept in multiple ways based on your use case.

⚡ Copy-and-paste prompts

Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — whatever AI tool you already use. Or connect The Shortcut to Claude and skip the copying entirely.

🔑 How Steph Is Using It

See exactly how Steph is using the shortcut in her own business, why she created it and the tools she's using.

Built into every shortcut

You don't have to build it yourself either

Every shortcut comes with two ways to actually put it to work. One built for Claude. One built for everything else.

✦ New

Your weekly shortcut, working inside Claude

Connect The Shortcut to your own Claude account and every shortcut shows up where you already work. Ask for the latest one or pull up a specific one to have Claude customize to your business!

Works with any Claude plan, including free. Connects in about a minute inside your member portal.

THE SHORTCUT · CONNECTED
Run this week's shortcut for my business.
⚡ Pulling your latest shortcut

Got it. This week's shortcut automates a recurring newsletter. Based on your saved profile, that's your monthly client update.

I checked what you've got connected and built it against your real setup:

  • Pulled last month's wins from your project tool
  • Drafted it in your voice
  • Sitting in your email tool as a draft

Want me to schedule it to run every month on its own?

⚡ Not a Claude user? Still yours.

Your shortcut just got a shortcut

Hit "Customize for my business" on any shortcut and the built-in AI assistant rewrites it around your specific situation. Your tools, your offer, your setup.

Then take the prompts wherever you work. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, whatever you already use. Every shortcut is written to work in all of them.

I want to use this but I'm not sure how it applies to me.

Got it. Let me ask you this: Do you create any recurring content for your business?

Things like:

  • Monthly client newsletters or updates
  • Regular social media posts
  • Weekly or monthly recaps for your audience
  • Recurring emails that always take too long

What kind of content, if any, are you supposed to be creating regularly but find yourself avoiding?

Ask the assistant to adapt these prompts...
SEND
Also included — every month

Weekly Dispatch
Weekly behind-the-scenes from Steph. Submit questions in the Live Calls & Replays tab.
Monthly Newsletter Built Once, Runs on Autopilot
This shortcut helps you create a recurring piece of content that you've likely been skipping and automate it so it gets created without you. The content already exists in your other tools and this automation pulls it together, builds the draft, and drops it in your inbox ready to review — on a schedule, every time.
The Shortcut Strategy
Skipping a newsletter isn't a motivation problem. Every time you sit down to write it, you start from zero. That's not writing — that's assembly. And assembly doesn't need a human.

Tech moves fast. I keep up so you don't have to.

Tech and AI move too fast for recycled "tips." Every shortcut comes straight from what Steph is building and testing in real time — so you're always seeing what's working right now, not what worked a year ago.

⚡ Automations that run without you 🤖 AI prompts & workflows 📂 Business systems & backend 💰 Offers, pricing & revenue 🏗️ Live builds & decisions 🔌 Runs inside your Claude

The moment you join, you get instant access to every shortcut already inside. Plus, you'll get a brand new shortcut every week you're an active member!

Not your exact situation? Hit "Customize for my business" on any shortcut and the built-in AI assistant makes it yours. Or connect The Shortcut to your Claude and tell it to run the whole thing for you.

What Members Are Saying

Don't take our word for it.

This is for you if...

You're an online business owner who uses AI regularly and wants to go deeper. You have some automations running but you know there's more — and you want to see how an expert actually thinks and executes.

You're busy and don't want to get distracted by fluff. You want to learn one new thing, understand the strategy behind it, and go build it in your own business.

You've been watching Steph build things that look like magic — the apps, the automations, the systems — and you want the inside track on how she thinks and what she builds next.

You're not ready to work with Steph 1-1 yet but you want the next best thing. A front row seat to her thinking, her builds, and the shortcuts you can take in your own business.

This is not for you if...

You want a community to check into or daily hand-holding. There's one live, member-only hot seat every month where you can bring what you're stuck on, and that's the live piece. The rest is built for people who have an existing business and are ready to implement the shortcuts to simplify and automate it using tools they're already using.

If you want Steph's eyes on your specific business, that starts with a Clarity Call.

Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm obsessed with helping business owners work 20 hours per week — and I want to make that possible for you too!

I've spent the last two decades guiding hundreds of businesses from scattered to streamlined — taking many from $0 to multi-six and seven figures with strategies built on simplicity, efficiency, and intentional growth.

I'm not just teaching theory; I've lived this by:

• Building my own businesses using the exact frameworks I now teach my clients.

• Leaving the 80-hour hustle years ago

• Retiring my husband from his 9-5 so our family could design life on our terms.

My focus is on designing smarter systems, leveraging the right tech and AI, and focusing your time on what actually moves the needle — so your business serves you, not the other way around.

Questions? Got you.

Take the shortcut.

Stop trying to figure it out on your own and steal the exact automations, workflows and AI tricks business owners are using every day to simplify and scale.
