I Help with
Tech Problemsolving
Let’s face it, tech is always in the way when we are trying to make the world a better place. But using it is unavoidable. If you got stuck, let’s not call it a user error - tech is just like that. Did you know that professional programmers spend most of their time trying to figure out why the things they created are not functioning?
It might sound weird, but personally, I do enjoy putting on the Sherlock Holmse’ hat, and solve tech mysteries. This is my specialty.
Website Touch-up (or setup)
This is my No.1 selling service. And the reason behind it is that solo entrepreneurs need to adjust their websites waaay more frequently than big companies do. Their niche, their offerings, the exact wording of their point of views evolve much faster. Which is a good thing. They are so much more flexible than larger entities. But this also means they need someone to make small changes frequently, while many web designers are not interested in that kind of small-scale work.
Business systems setup and workflow design
The tech and workflow systems you use daily are responsible for a lot of your ongoing ease or stress. I have a strong motivation towards minimalism, and I’m happy to set up or rework your systems with you. The functionality of the systems we use actually have a lot to do with our businessmodels and we are not going to skip taking that into consideration.
Video Content Creation
In my “origin story“ below you’ll see that I come from a filmmaking background, and have public speaking experience. Combining those with authentic and ethical marketing strategies, I’m more than happy to help out with your video content.
Whether you are just starting out, or want to level up your content, I’m happy to coach you along the way. To lift even more weight off your shoulders, most of the weekly creation process is also delegable to me.
About my beloved clients
Overwhelmed self-employed people who, for a variety of reasons, don’t have full capacity when it comes to running their businesses. People who found that amidst their unique challenges, the mainstream typical businessadvice just overwhelmed them even more. People who crave a different and much simpler approach.
For example?
Many of my clients are parents or otherwise caregivers with limited time and schedules that make an armageddon look like a cozy weekend.
Some are neurodivergent people with a challenged attention span, sensory or learning challenges.
Some of them belong to the non digital-native generations yet still they are up for the challenge of running online businesses in the digital world. And many of them belong to more than just one of these categories.
But above anything else, they are here to make the world a better place. They found something they love doing, that also does good for other human beings or Earth as a whole. They are not willing to compromise ethics for profit. Many of them are students of Ethical Business pioneers like George Kao, Tad Hargrave, Rebecca Van Damm, Mark Silver, etc.
They are artists, teachers, coaches, spiritual guides, healers, therapists, and more.
About me
Heeey, I’m Péter. Father of 2, living in Budapest, Hungary, and a fairly neurodivergent (ADHD & lvl1-ASD) person.
I know firsthand what it’s like to run a business with a limited time, chaotic schedule, attention deficit, and sensory overload on top of all that.
Pure Overwhelm.
For 20+ years I’ve been dealing with the tech tools that a serviceproviding solo entrepreneur typically needs.
Since I was a little kid I’ve always had several side-projects at a time and each of those required them.
But for a long time, helping with these was not my day-job.
I started out in filmmaking with a degree in cinematography, and I got as far as working a technical role in the camera department of the Oscars winning movie Dune: Part One.
A nice entry in my resumé for sure, but also the deepest “low” in my life. That’s when I realized film industry is everything I never wanted to be part of.
A lifestyle and workhours never designed for a healthy family life and endless petty political games.
So I swapped my day job with my hobby, and never looked back.
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a hobby, I even started enjoying filmmaking again.
So I took my tech expertise, filmmaking background, and the random weird stuff I gained from side projects (like launching a public speaking club, doing a TEDx talk, learning ethical marketing, learning coaching and energy healing, running a tabletop roleplaying game stream, etc.) and poured that experience into a business, where I deeply understand what my clients do, their needs, and their challenges while being the missing link between them and technology and/or quite often, sanity in their businesses.
This happened around 2020.
My Approach
Overwhelmed solo entrepreneurs don’t need yet another expert to tell them 5 more things to do or to start working harder on something.
They need empathy and simple solutions that will just work for them, in their own unique situation.
We decide together whether what you need is a quick-fix or some step-by-step gradual improvement, or even sometimes a complete escape from that specific challenge.
My sessions are always 1:1 live online, and only rarely I do some work without my clients’ presence. I believe emailing back and forth about bigger decisions is an ambiguous and time-wasting form of communication and an overwhelmed self-employed person does not have time or or capacity to do that.
Quick online meetings mean real-time feedback from you and additional ideas from me are discussed right there, in the moment, with the problems or tasks typically solved by the end of the session.
I’m not a business coach, yet our challenges with business-tech, content creation and the workflows that come with them are more often than not, deeply rooted in our business model, and how we think about our businesses. So while we’ll be fixing things and getting things done for you, we will address these topics when needed, but only if you feel a benefit in it.
I am a longtime student of Ethical Business and Ethical Marketing pioneers like George Kao, Tad Hargrave and Rebecca Van Damm and I bring that perspective into my sessions.
Some of my clients meet with me weekly to go through their accumulated tech challenges, questions, and tasks of the week. Others only need occasional problem-solving, or only consult with me before making bigger decisions in their workflows and tech stack, and then do the bulk of the work on their own.
My price range
Since most of what I do is 1:1 work, with only some smaller tasks without my clients being present, I just have this one simple hourly rate. The same number applies to tech problem-solving, consulting, video content editing or coaching, etc. I invoice 2-3 times a month and you can pay with any cards via a secure Stripe payment link.

Let’s work
together if
You are self-employed, a solo entrepreneur, or solo practitioner, providing services
(Don’t worry, you don’t fall outside this category if you have a part-time helper, many solopreneurs do)
You get frequently overwhelmed with the tech and media tools and workflows in your business
Business owners under more than usual pressure, like parents or caregivers, neurodivergent people, and non-digital-native generations are happy clients of mine.
You are happy to work in 1:1 real-time sessions with me
Very often you can even do something else while I do the work for you, but most of what I do requires you to be there with me.
Real-time feedback and brainstorming play a huge role in why my customers are so happy with their results!You don’t have a burning deadline
I would love to help you with super big emergencies, but next to 2 kids, I’m just unable to do that right now. Maybe later, who knows.
We’re not a
great fit if
Online stores selling physical products are unfortunately outside my range of expertise
If you have a burning deadline
I would love to help you with super big emergencies, but next to 2 kids, I’m just unable to do that right now. Maybe later, who knows.
You’d like to completely delegate the work to be done without your presence
1:1 live calls are an important part of how I work. It provides a much-needed overview level of understanding how things operate in your business. Real-time feedback and brainstorming play a huge role in why my customers are so happy with their results! We often call this co-creation.
Recurring scheduled maintenance or tasks are needed
People to run your recurring tasks for you are easier to find.
My specialty in workflow design and problem-solving is a service rarely available for solo entrepreneurs. But it’s a much-needed one.
My contribution is providing this.
What people say
"Péter is a fu***ng tech wizard who just saved me so much pain on calendars that wouldn't sync. Praise the lord. In 30 minutes, he helped me solve something I don't think I would have ever figured out or, if I had, it would have been ten hours later which is an insane opportunity cost. It's the second time he's helped me solve the unsolvable and do the impossible. Can't. Recommend. Him. Highly. Enough."
Tad Hargrave
Business Coach, marketingforhippies.com
"Peter is one of the few service providers I often and happily recommend.
He knows his stuff, is a joy to work with, and keeps his fees quite affordable compared to others with his skills and care.
My only concern is that once the word gets out about him, he won't have time for my projects anymore but I don't care, I still talk about him all the time!"
George Kao
Authentic Business Coach, georgekao.com
"Working with Peter has been a joy. Many times when solving the technical issues, which usually feels lousy, I never feel alone or worried because Peter always tries to dig deeper or find alternatives. He is very exploratory and great at navigating where the problems are. Peter is also very patient and a good listener that you can feel safe and supported around his presence. I highly recommend working with him!"

"Over 20 years you have been my favorite person to help me with my business-tech. The most personable, most friendly and most patient one. Also, most people I met had either an eye for design or the tech-savvyness - you have both of those.”

"I'm here to tell you Péter is absolutely brilliant at this. I came to him a bundle of anxiety about some tech challenges I was having, and he treated me like the intelligent, competent adult that I am, which calmed my fears and allowed me to learn.
Péter is pure joy to work with."
