Nearly 100 businesses later, the same pattern keeps showing up. The owners who got AI working didn't start with a tool. They started with one number, then went through the same six steps, in the same order. • Step 1, find the leverage: not what annoys you, but where the business actually caps out. One property manager was losing about 30% of leads to 3 to 4 hour reply times. • Step 2, do the math honestly: their projection was 73%, the actual result was 123% of the cost (about 23% net), and payback took about 9.7 months instead of 7. We show the misses on purpose. • Step 3, align the leaders: this is where most dead projects died. Write the success metric down as a number before anything gets built. My take: The honest part is the misses, a conversion rate one point short and a payback that ran late. If a number only works in the best case, don't build it. And the audit is the step most people skip, and it's the one I can't do for you in a video. 📎 Full guide PDF pinned below: all six steps, the scorecard, the honest misses, and the checklist.

As I mentioned in my introduction, I’m actively reaching out to founders to understand their business problems before building things that nobody actually needs. I’ve reached out to a few founders, introduced myself and what I do, and thankfully, some of them have responded and shared what they’re building and the problems they’re trying to solve. Now I’m at the next step 👇 One founder actually asked me to understand his business and tell him where AI could help him generate more revenue. This is where I need some guidance from people who already have experience getting clients. How should I approach these conversations? - What questions should I ask to properly understand their business? - How do I identify where AI can actually create value? - What kind of solution/proposal should I present? - And most importantly, what proof or portfolio should I have before trying to sell my offer? I don’t want to randomly pitch “AI automation” just because it’s trending. I want to understand the problem first, find where AI can genuinely help, and then build a solution around it. Would really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this journey. What would you do if you were in my position? 🙌

Spent the last few days building a Chrome extension. Open any Shopify store, click it, and you instantly see what apps they're running, what's selling best, how fast they're adding products, and their full catalog. Export it all to CSV No guessing. No fake revenue numbers. Just real data straight from the store...... Called it Shopify Spy Pro. Freee to try, $18/month for unlimited access... Honest question, would you actually pay for this? Or is this something you'd use once and forget about? Tell me what's wrong with it. I can take it 😂

Hi everyone, I joined because I the video the other day about the “get rid of Claude” setup. Practical, easy to follow (for the majority), no code. Perfect👌🏽 As for me, the last half of my career was in strategic and tactical operations management, and improving the processes that humans had to participate in. I love to do that and AI helps me make a workforce even more efficient. I also have ADHD, so AI is helping me finally make progress on many of the ideas I just didn’t have the capacity to work on before. (Along with being retired & having more time 😂, but really I think it’s the AI, because I was retired before I started getting into AI and it wasn’t like *this* 🪽 I have 2 skools that focus on the ADHD experience - one is having an all over the place business and sorting it out into a foundation systems can be built on (and automated from). Practical, foundational, and a focus on structure to keep things useable. The other is about using AI to manage the personal-lives when you’re a rockstar at work, but defeated by groceries 🫠. I appreciate the straightforward way the YouTube videos are and bet I’ll get a lot from this group. Nice to meet you all. 👋🏽
