I haven’t posted here for a while, I am making a bet and its long term. I spent a months worth of Codex Pro tokens in 24 hrs at the last 10 yards codex ran out of usage. I handed off to Fable and said dont burn me please. It didn’t, and finished the job with Sonnet as a dispatched agent. This build was a deployment kit and what comes next will be the result of that. It’s a big play for a solo armed with a couple of servers and some AI, but we’ll see if it pays off, and so will you. The takeaway here is, using ICM lets you pass your project mid stream during a failure and adjust budget. A $200 job wasn’t lost and was finished on time. Folders As Agents doing the work!

An excerpt from last week's VIP that I felt was important to share with everyone! How to get your first check/increase customers and bring in cash from the FOUNDATION of business.

Just off the phone with another business owner, an existing MSP client. We are starting a paid engagement on Tuesday. He has some crews on the road installing a product. Those crews are going to start taking before, during, and after photos of the jobs, to help illustrate the transformation that this product makes. He has asked me to come up with a way to help the guys on site manage the upload of the photos and related job information - hard working guys with not an awful lot of time or much IT inclination. I then suggested.... 1. Helping his guys with his initial request ➕➕ AND ➕➕ 2. Improving the quality of the information uploaded to make it more useful 3. Automating the process of those job photos being compiled in the correct order and a social media post about the job being drafted and presented for approval of both the photographs and the content of the social media post to the business owner (style based in his previous posting history) 4. And auotomating the posting to multiple social media accounts of the photos and the approved post content. 5. He doesn't know it, but I'll throw in automatic blog post creation as a bonus. I already have a fair idea of how I'm going to do it. The key point here is I didn't sell this to him. He called me for advice about a simple technical matter and I simply suggested that the rest COULD be done, and suggested a framework only (no specific tools or much detail) He then sold himself and spontaneously decided that, despite his own AI use, he needed us to do it for him because it souned a bit complicated.

Then get your foot in the door. Then upsell the ICM. NOTE: Jake already shouted me out and shared my Skool group here Verbatim what I just posted in my group is below the *** thingys. This is not self-promotion, this is me...helping you.... And about 150 of you already came over based off his post. ********************************************************************************************************* "First... @Carla Bosteder this was for you specifically, you asked, a few more did as well...but, don't say I never gave ya' nothin'. What I am seeing: Everyone wants to lead into businesses and sell "ICM". You and I both know they need it, but it's like walking up to a woman on the first date and trying to lift up her skirt. You're going to get slapped. Business owners are the same. You need to earn trust, so just because your friends will let you take a look up there and reorganize their entire business... It's a little bit hard of an ask to a stranger. You need to position ICM Folder as a high ticket upsell to an offer. Create a quick win, solve a problem, then they will trust you forever. They will even ASK you what else you can do for them. That is what the 3 laws is about. That is what the researching is about. That is what the customer's journey highlights. It's all in the classroom.... Here's an easier win you can get for business owners missing out on business because of late calls, calls while they're busy, etc and so on. Go look up the numbers - it's a real pain. It's just files n' folders, people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gV242QeLCw P.S. I built my front desk for my company as sassy'ish. I call her LIVE so you can hear that. The report I mention is in the description on YT and in the classroom.

Hi everyone, I just read a report on AI adoption in businesses from 2025. I am sure the content is not a huge surprise considering that you're a member of this community, but it remains an interesting read because it makes you realize how large this gap actually is. https://mlq.ai/media/quarterly_decks/v0.1_State_of_AI_in_Business_2025_Report.pdf
