Yes, I’m fine! Thanks for asking…
I’m really fortunate to have people in my life that check in on me when I vanish for weeks at a time (no, it’s not a magic trick). I know that, for some people, this sort of behavior warrants concern.
For me, nothing could be further from the truth.
It’s all part of my “Master Plan to Convince People to Stop Wasting Their Time and Start Creating a Future of Leisure.”… Mwaaaahhhh!
(sorry, that just had to have a maniacal laugh)
I can’t remember when or where I decided to adopt this practice, but I’m convinced that it’s the sole factor behind every ounce of success I’ve achieved:
- Work really hard, with intense focus, for a short period of time
- Build a system to automate everything you did in Step 1
- Take a very long vacation
- (optional) Repeat, if desired, though typically not necessary if your vision is big enough and you do 1 & 2 correctly
I’ve been doing this for myself, and for clients, for over 20 years. Some of you reading this can attest to the fact because you’ve been part of it.
I’m thrilled to have helped those that I have but, like you, my time and energy are limited.
However, my passion knows no bounds. It makes me crazy to wake up every morning and know that so many are people are wasting their day working on mundane tasks that aren’t really getting them any closer to their dreams. UGH… it makes my skin crawl!
So I’ve been living Step 1 to put the finishing touches on a publicly-available version of the software system that I, and my high-end clients, have been using for the past 15+ years to automate almost every aspect of our businesses.
In addition, I’ve been recording everything I’ve learned about the process and will be making that available, as well. As my father always said:
A wise man learns from his mistakes.
A wiser man learns from someone else’s.
The school of hard knocks sucks. Sure, there’s some sense of pride in showing off your battle scars. But why meander blindly through the minefield when someone can just give you a lift in the F-16?
I need your help!
When working with individual clients, I was afforded the time and access to really understand their specific needs. We’ve incorporated all of the lessons learned from those clients into the new offerings.
Now I want to make sure we can help the most people possible.
So I’m looking for people who’d be willing to spend a little bit of time talking about their business. If I’m on a mission to rid the world of busy work, I need to understand what parts of your business make you crazy, and what parts you’d like to see grow.
In particular, I’m looking for people who have something to teach others. I know that’s technically everyone but, for the moment, I’m specifically looking for:
- Speakers
- Educators
- Authors
- Trainers
- Coaches
- Mentors
If you’ve spoken in public, written a book, recorded an audio program or shot an instructional video, you’re exactly who I want to chat with.
I promise we’ll keep it as short as possible. I know your time is both limited and very valuable. In fact, that’s the whole reason I’m doing this!!!
If you’re interested, please drop me an email: bryce@brycekuhlman.com.
If you don’t have the time to invest right now, I still hope you’ll sign up for my email list. I’m going to start talking about specific tools and techniques in June and, to be honest, I’m hesitant to put everything “out there” on the blog and social media. If you’re on the email list, you’ll be sure to get everything, as soon as it comes out.
Again, I want to express my gratitude to all of the companies and individuals who have trusted my company to build these systems for them. Without you, we would never have had the knowledge and experience to offer this to the rest of the world.
I have had the great pleasure to work with Bryce on a number of different projects over the last 15 years and there is absolutely no one I would rather dream up and implement software with. Bryce is professional. bright, delightful, and often inspired. I’m an IT professional of a different flavor and Bryce is my favorite developer and consultant. I could not recommend him highly enough and I am excited to see what he makes of this new effort.
I’ve worked with Bryce on and off for 20 years or more, and his work and advice has been invaluable… worth at least 10 times what he was paid. He has helped automate my management services for several artists I represent, set up a school online… and much, much more. Always open to new ideas, on top of the latest technologies for the web, and willing to chat about the latest problem or success. Work with him… you’ll like it!
I have worked with Bryce for many years. I know of no one better at anticipating client needs, solving complex programming issues, and being very easy to work with. Bryce, truly is a master at coding. He once fixed a coding problem I had while we talked on the phone. It took him 15 minutes. It was marvelous.
His ability to understand your needs, come up with a solution, and break it down so you can easily understand what needs to be done makes him my go-to guy for any programming needs.
I have recommended Bryce to other businesses and friends. All of them have been extremely pleased with his work. Of course, it always makes me look good when I can recommend such a competent and fantastic guy that gets the job done.
Mermade Magickal Arts is a home business created in 1984, selling gourmet incense by Katlyn, whose artistic
expertise is widely recognized in the incense and fragrance community,
When Katlyn decided to take her business online, the question became who do we get to be our
“web guy”. She had definite ideas on the look she wanted, and her wonderful artwork is a part of the
allure of her creations.
A mutual friend recommended Bryce, and mermadearts.com was born. The business is thriving, and
we are so happy with Bryce as webmaster.
He is so great to work with. He helped us through the initial challenges of setting up a commercial website,
(we had no idea how to do it) and then was able to customize it so that Katlyn could administer the site,
changing copy and artwork when necessary, while I handle the orders and shipping. Bryce is eager to
help his clients realize their vision.
Just as important, he is always there to help with any issues that might arise with the software or the
payment mechanisms, PayPal, CC’s etc. E commerce can be a minefield of shifting requirements from
servers, shippers, payment services, all requiring occasional tweaks in the software code, and Bryce is a
true expert in dealing with these problems.
Plus, he’s a great guy. Do your business a favor, and hire him.

I have known Bryce for over 12 years, and he continues to impress me all the time. He is very professional and if he says he will “take care of it”, it gets done! He is incredibly creative and when I call him to with some crazy idea, he not only listens, he usually has some great ideas of his own to add, and best of all, he rarely laughs at me!
Bryce has been an essential partner on several projects, starting with setting up the http://www.magicbookshop.com website when Charlie Randall and I were taking our book selling and publishing company, H & R Magic Books, online about 20 years ago and continuing with several personal websites when I retired from H & R Magic Books and moved to Utah about 5 years ago. He has always responded promptly to any questions/concerns I have had and his solutions have always worked! I look forward to a continued partnership with Bryce in the years ahead!
Bryce Kuhlman has been managing and programming my Website for years. He’s always quick to respond and to have a smart solution for every harebrained idea I have for the site. This new step he is taking toward expanding his services excites me.

I will always be grateful to Bryce for his design of the Acoustic Storm website and site manager. Bryce has consistently figured out clever ways to make the site user-friendly that help me organize my music programming and accommodate other tasks for the radio show, all of which are key
to my work flow for such a time-intensive weekly project. Plus, he has always demonstrated both patience and stick-to-itiveness when it comes to trouble-shooting.
Even more importantly, Bryce is a great guy; thoughtful and generous, with a sense of humor that puts the professional challenges we all face into their proper perspective.
I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Bryce for any business venture in which he is involved.
Many people have commented on Bryce’s ingenuity, talent, and hard work to make things happen for his clients. What I would like to stress is that he is a person of excellent character with a strong commitment to running an honest, upfront business. I love doing business with someone like this, and you will, too.
I’ve known Bryce for over fifteen years and we’ve worked on projects together for about half of that period. A witty and quick mind, a playful yet very focused approach to delivering the results that are needed, a sharp eye for details when it comes to customized execution and an eagle eye and good advice when it comes to helping you strategize your business.
A breeze to work with!
I have been working with Bryce for years, beginning with my website, and most recently a program that will revolutionize the way I run my business. I know his new program will save me time and effort. It will also give me the ability to touch more lives than I could ever imagine, compared to relying solely on individuals walking through my door.
As someone in the healing field, the technical side of what Bryce does is usually over my head, yet he’s always so patient and knowledgeable that he’s able to explain things in terms that I can understand. His refreshingly unique, no-nonsense approach propels me forward into the realms of what my business can be instead of continuing to approach my business with a recycled paradigm… a paradigm that simply won’t work for the long term.
Whether it’s a business mentor you’re looking for, or you just need to simplify the way you’re running your business, Bryce will be an absolute asset.
Bryce was my go-to-guy for 2 years as I built an online business. Without him I wouldn’t have had a business. He helped me accomplish my goals with my website in addition to helping brainstorm and create many out of the box features. At the end of the day I developed a super-productive business relationship and made a great friend!
