You’ve Got the Vision — But Who’s Managing Your Kajabi Behind the Scenes?

Your big-picture goals deserve a backend that’s just as strong. But without consistent Kajabi maintenance, even the most brilliant vision starts to slow down.

You’re the visionary.

The idea generator, the content creator, the community builder.

The one with bold goals and the drive to make a real impact.

But let’s be honest — you didn’t start your business to spend your days updating tech settings and triple-checking automations.

And yet, if you’re the one still managing all the behind-the-scenes updates in Kajabi — or any platform, really — then you know just how quickly the day-to-day details can take over.

It’s the classic tug-of-war between vision and maintenance.

And while you can juggle both for a while… at some point, one side will start to slip.

Let’s talk about why — and how to fix it.

The Visionary Trap: When Big Ideas Get Stuck in the Backend

You have clarity on where you’re going. You know what your next offer should look like. You’ve got a plan for your content and a waitlist for your program.

But here’s the problem:

None of it can move forward efficiently if your backend is slowing you down.

I see this all the time with brilliant course creators and coaches who are doing too much behind the scenes:

• Manually uploading course videos… instead of outlining the next module
• Double-checking emails… instead of mapping out the launch runway
• Fixing broken links… instead of coaching clients or closing sales

And the worst part? Most of them don’t realize how much time and energy it’s draining — until they hit a wall.

Why You Can’t Be the Visionary and the Backend Manager Forever

In the early days of business, it’s normal (and even necessary) to wear all the hats. But growth requires a shift.

Because the more you build, the more moving pieces you’re responsible for — and those pieces need consistent attention.

There’s a reason why successful businesses eventually bring in support: Not because they can’t do the work themselves … But because they shouldn’t have to.

You can’t lead from the front and still be the one keeping all the backend pieces running day after day.

Not if you want to grow with intention.

What Backend Maintenance Actually Looks Like (and Why It Matters)

Even if your offers are evergreen… even if your site “looks fine”... your platform still needs monthly maintenance to keep running smoothly.

Here are just a few quiet issues I see regularly in Kajabi (and other platforms too):

• Broken links and missing meta descriptions quietly tank your SEO
• Email lists that aren’t cleaned or monitored can seriously harm your deliverability
• Automations that don’t trigger properly, outdated bonus pages, broken forms — all create micro-barriers that cost you leads and sales
• Missing tracking codes or incorrect goals can skew your analytics and make optimization harder

It’s not always visible — but it adds up. Just like a car needs oil changes and tire checks, your digital business needs care too.
