I Understand You Love Your Spreadsheet - But Deep Down You Know It’s Holding You Back

Subtitle: I’ve seen the spreadsheet struggle more times than I can count — and I know the relief that comes when you move beyond it.

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been shown a spreadsheet with pride.

It’s usually colour coded, full of tabs, maybe even has some clever formulas. And honestly? I respect it. You’ve put the work in. It’s carried your business this far.

But here’s the truth: at some point, that same spreadsheet starts to feel less like a safety net and more like quicksand.

The Moment It Starts to Break

You’ll know it when it happens:

  • You oversell because Amazon, Shopify, and eBay aren’t talking to each other.

  • You spend Mondays fixing numbers that don’t add up.

  • You catch yourself second guessing whether to place an order, because you don’t trust the sheet anymore.

I’ve seen the stress on owners’ faces when they realise their “trusted system” is quietly holding them back.

The Relief of Letting Go

And I’ve also seen the look of relief when they finally move beyond it.

When orders and stock update automatically.
When they don’t need to manually check every number.
When the anxiety of “Do I really know my stock?” disappears.

That’s the point where business owners can breathe again — and focus on growing, not firefighting.

Why I Care About This

I get a genuine buzz from helping people make this shift. Where others see a boring spreadsheet, I see an opportunity to design something smoother, calmer, and more efficient.

And I promise, once you’ve felt that calm, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Final Thought

If you’re still clinging to spreadsheets, you’re not doing anything wrong — you’ve just outgrown them.

And the moment you let them go, the frustration stops and growth feels exciting again.
