An operator-led company
Return My Time is a practical AI assessment company that helps business owners identify the repeated work worth improving first.
Co-founders Corey Ganim and Nick Spisak use the Audit, Optimize, Automate method to turn a recurring bottleneck into a clear next decision. The first step is five questions, a free 15-minute conversation, and one practical recommendation.

01 / The work
Start with the free conversation. Choose a paid assessment when a personalized report is the right next step.
Five detailed intake answers help the team review fit. If the request is a fit, a Return My Time-certified operator schedules a free 15-minute conversation focused on one practical recommendation for a recurring bottleneck.
A $497 voice conversation with Annie, the AI assessment guide, produces a personalized AI Opportunity Report in HTML and PDF.
A $999, 45-minute in-person assessment and personalized report. Return My Time reviews the application before payment and scheduling.
02 / The standard
The assessment starts with a repeated task, its friction, and the outcome the owner wants. A tool recommendation follows the work rather than leading it.
The free conversation focuses on one bottleneck and one practical recommendation, rather than a list of unrelated AI ideas.
Audit, Optimize, Automate means understanding the workflow, simplifying it, and then deciding whether automation belongs in it.
After reviewing the five-question intake, a Return My Time-certified operator contacts fitting leads to schedule the free conversation.
The free assessment provides a recommendation. Annie and the in-person assessment offer separate paid routes to a personalized report.
03 / Who it is for
The starting point is a real business with a recurring, owner-visible bottleneck. No technical background is required.
Owners who can point to a recurring task or handoff that costs time, revenue, or customer experience.
People responsible for work that repeats across tools, team members, and decisions.
Teams trying to understand friction in lead response, qualification, follow-up, or quoting.

Nick Spisak on LinkedIn ↗A note from Corey
I started my first business in ninth grade, converting VHS tapes to DVDs so I could buy the first iPhone. I did not know it then, but the work was teaching me a lesson I would keep relearning: a business is a collection of promises, processes, and decisions, and the owner usually carries too much of it in their head.
Across the businesses that followed, the pattern became hard to miss. Knowledge lived in inboxes, spreadsheets, shared drives, and the memories of a few key people. Every handoff cost time. Every repeated question pulled an operator back into work they had already solved.
When ChatGPT arrived, I did what operators do: I tested it against real work. The experiments made one thing clear. AI is only as useful as the context and process around it. Automating a broken workflow just makes the wrong thing happen faster.
That is the principle behind how we teach and build today. Audit the work. Optimize the process. Automate only what deserves to run. The goal is not more software. It is returning time to the people responsible for the business.

05 / The process
Share the repeated task in a five-question intake. A certified team member reaches out to schedule the free conversation. The discussion ends with one recommended next move.
The intake and conversation establish the recurring work, the bottleneck, and the outcome you want.
The team looks for a simpler way to handle the work before suggesting a tool.
You receive one practical recommendation. Automation is considered when it fits the workflow.
The free assessment gives a recommendation. A full report or implementation is a separate scope.
