Episode 33 - ClickFunnels, Kajabi, Skool & More: Why All-in-One + Mentorship Is the Only Stack You Need

In this episode of The Digital Shift™, Jessica Green takes a bold look at the “platform pile-up” plaguing online entrepreneurs. From ClickFunnels and Kajabi to Skool, Mailchimp, StanStore, Squarespace, SamCart, ManyChat, Flodesk and beyond—these tools promise to help, but often leave you stuck, frustrated, and alone. Jessica shares real stories (including her own) of trying to duct-tape together systems, only to realize the missing link was never the tool… it was the strategy + mentorship to bring it all together.

She introduces the Self Made Hub as the smarter solution: an all-in-one tech system with actual people helping you build it right. If you’ve been drowning in tools and still don’t have a business that runs on its own—this episode is your wake-up call.

🧠 Key Topics Covered

• The hidden costs and chaos of stacking platforms like ClickFunnels, Kajabi, Skool, Mailchimp, Flodesk, and SamCart
  
  
  
• Why most “all-in-one” tools still require duct tape (and Zapier)
  
  
  
• The difference between a tool and a system that scales
  
  
  
• How Self Made Hub replaces multiple platforms and includes mentorship
  
  
  
• 3 warning signs you’re using the wrong tech stack
  
  
  
• The one question every entrepreneur should ask: “Do I own the system—or is it running me?”

“They give you tools—but not the system. And definitely not a person to call when you get stuck.”

🎯 Who This Episode is For

✅ Entrepreneurs tired of piecing together tech
 ✅ Coaches and social sellers who’ve tried Kajabi, Skool, Mailchimp, or StanStore
 ✅ Business owners craving simplicity and support
 ✅ Anyone who wants to scale without burning out

🧩 The Self Made Difference

• Simple, clean dashboard with all tools in one login
  
  
  
• Funnels, emails, SMS, CRM, calendar, and community tools—no add-ons required
  
  
  
• Keyword automations to instantly capture leads from DMs & comments
  
  
  
• Prebuilt workflows and nurture sequences that actually follow up
  
  
  
• Real people showing you exactly what to do and where to click

✅ 3 Signs You’re Using the Wrong Tools

1. You’re stacking platforms like Legos with no real integration
   
   
   
2. You’re googling how-to videos instead of closing sales
   
   
   
3. You’re still manually following up with leads—days or weeks later
   
   
   

“Your platform should save you time—not steal it.”
