FOR SERVICES-LED AND EXPERIENCE-DRIVEN BUSINESSESstrategic operations consulting
what got you here won’t get you there.
The backend of your business wasn’t always well organized - it started with an idea, a minimum investment, and a drive to make it work. And it did! You were able to gain traction, refine your business model, and build something meaningful.
But growth always comes with growing pains. The systems you pieced together in the early days - the duct-taped tools, scattered processes, and workarounds - is starting to slow you down. What used to be scrappy and lean now feels messy, bloated, and overly complex.
it’s not your fault your processes never had the chance to keep up.
When your business is growing, most of your energy goes toward serving clients, meeting demand, and simply keeping things afloat. That’s normal! And deeply human.
But here’s what also happens: your systems get stuck in an earlier version of your business -one that no longer matches the scale, complexity, or pace of what you’re doing now.
And when that gap gets too wide, even the smallest tasks start to feel heavy.
Projects take longer because you’re recreating the wheel every time.
Quality slips without structure, and your clients feel it.
Running a business doesn’t feel as exciting and rewarding as it used to in the good ol’ times.
That’s where I come in.
what if i told you growth doesn’t have to come with growing pains?
What if work felt abundant, rewarding, and exciting again?
Instead of dragging yourself to your desk, you wake up energized and ready to dive into work that fulfills you. With clarity and flow, you are not just keeping up with your business. You are thriving in it.
What if your clients get the best version of you every single time?
When your processes are dialed in, your clients get your full attention - not the distracted and overwhelmed version of you. Their success stories doubled, strengthening your relationships and boosting retention + referrals.
What if your best ideas don’t get lost in chaos?
With the right structure in place, ideas have space to bounce around, take shape, and turn into real growth opportunities. You stop leaving money on the table and start acting on the momentum already within reach.

Every business owner wants the best for their clients.

our guiding questions
WHY we're differentPeople-first systems aren’t built by stacking more tools on top of a messy foundation.
Before diving into solutions, we reflect on three essential questions:
TECH & TOOLS
“Am I using the right technology to support my business and day-to-day operations, or am I adapting my work to fit the limitations of my tools?
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
“Am I organizing, categorizing, and structuring my information in a way that is coherent, intuitive, and fosters seamless collaboration?”
AUTOMATION
“Does automation fit into this in a way that optimize workflows, increase efficiency, and enhance the experience for both my team and clients in a meaningful way?”

frequently asked questions
-
I work with services-led and experience-driven businesses across all industries who are ready to improve their operations and bring more intention to how their business runs. Whether you’re a solopreneur looking to scale or a SMEs wanting to streamline your processes, every solution is tailored to your business, your rhythm, and your goals.
-
Our projects start with a Systems Audit, which has a 2-week turnaround. From there, shaped by audit findings, Transformative Implementation typically runs 4-6 weeks to refine and elevate your core operational systems (or more, depends on the size of your business). -
We hear you! Every operational area is connected and streamlining one can quickly reveal gaps in another. If the audit shows that you could use support in multiple areas, we’ll recommend a tighter, more focused scope so you can get the most out of the implementation without the unnecessary cost. -
Quick fixes aren’t really our thing. Clarity and confidence come from knowing how every part of your business runs, not just getting a handoff and hoping it sticks, so we believe in walking with you through implementation. Real transformation takes time, and we’re here for the long haul if you are.Though, you are welcome to book a Snapshot Strategy call with me if you just want to pick my brain and get my eyes on whatever you need.
-
Not at all. Part of our process is understanding what you’re already using, what’s working (or not), and recommending tools that actually make sense for your unique situation. Whether you're starting from scratch or have existing systems, we'll meet you where you are. -
Absolutely! If you’re already using Notion, we’ll anchor our Systems Audit and Implementation around your workspace.
-
Yes, absolutely! Most clients come in knowing something feels off but can’t quite name it. Get in touch or schedule a chat here and we’ll recommend the best fit.

hi, i’m ghalizha!
Hey there!
I’m Ghalizha, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve ever felt like you’re sitting on strong ideas but can’t quite bring them to life, you’re in good company.
I didn’t start Doc Day Afternoon because I love throwing around the word “systems” as a jargon. I started all this because I was tired of the productivity buzzwords, unrealistic growth promises, recycled frameworks, and generic advices that are just chasing algorithms. That’s not how we operate here!
I started Doc Day Afternoon because I know I do my best work when I cut through the noise, tune in to my values, and work from a place of intention. And I’m here to help you find your version of that too.
Since 2020, I’ve been part of the Notion Ambassador community, run an evergreen course business, and supported thoughtful business owners (like you!) in building systems that feel human and leave room for creativity and fun. These days, I work with community leaders, course creators, and business owners to shape their internal operations and craft unforgettable client experiences, mostly inside Notion.
If you’re here to build something meaningful AND you want the backend and delivery to match that care, I’d love to collaborate.
