What's up with Automation on a Mission?
Automation on a Mission was born out of a desire to cut through the noise - of gurus and "experts" teasing formulas promising overnight success and five hour work weeks.
Secret Revealed - it doesn't work this way
You won't find overnight miracles or that one secret recipe that solves all your business problems.
What you will find is a pathway to building a business that genuinely works for you—one that grows, scales, and adapts to your life, not the other way around. We believe in working smarter, not harder. We create tools and strategies that bring real freedom, expansion, and scalability.
What About Our Name?
How Did 'Automation on a Mission' Come to Be?
Originally, formed as Confluence Business Solutions, a name that reflected our aim to merge various business strategies into a unified solution. But as our focus shifted around what truly made our members thrive—automation and mission-driven strategies—the name Automation on a Mission was born.
The word "Automation" is at the core of what we do and our commitment that the processes we teach and technology provide serves you, not the other way around.
And "Mission"? Well, it's our commitment to empowering YOUR goals. You have a calling to do what you do in the world. It's our mission is to make that as easy as possible with them.

Christi Norfleet Stafford
Founder & Chief Automation Enthusiast
Christi wakes up each morning with one question: "What can I automate today?" - and yes, she really does get a dopamine rush from every elegant solution! With 25+ years of experience and a track record of helping hundreds of business owners, she's proven that automation doesn't have to be boring or complicated.
The Unconventional Path to Automation Expertise:
Before becoming the go-to automation expert for overwhelmed business owners, Christi's journey included some unexpected stops: wilderness instructor for at-risk youth on Florida rivers, launching a successful social enterprise bike shop (Lucky Bikes Re-Cyclery, still thriving in Denver!), and 25 years leading nonprofits. She even took on the wild adventure of building a home on wheels out of a school bus and tried her hand at homesteading and farm life in Virginia.
Credentials That Actually Matter:
Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership, Regis University
Graduate Certificates in Project Management and Nonprofit Management
Certified Professional Coach, Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC)
Founded two successful businesses: Lucky Bikes Re-Cyclery (social enterprise) and Automation on a Mission
What She's Really Good At:
Marketing automation for service-based businesses (the kind that actually works)
Turning chaotic processes into systems that run themselves
Building automation that saves business owners 15-20 hours per week
Making technology serve YOU instead of the other way around
Keeping things light-hearted with corny humor and random farm stories
The Real Results:
Since 2014, Christi has helped hundreds of business owners transform their operations from overwhelming to organized, typically increasing efficiency while giving them back their evenings and weekends. Her clients don't just get systems - they get their lives back.
