One Year On….

[14th January 2026 - update: Someone just paid me £100 for a couple of hours consulting. Also just put out two proposals for projects totalling £2,000 pcm. I basically had a word with the nutter in my head and told him to STFU! You see, the only reason I hadn’t gotten anywhere in that first year, is because of me and my subconscious saboteur. We had words over Xmas and New Year. And then in the first week of the New year, I got my first client. 2026, onwards and upwards.]

Today, October 1st, 2025, marks my first year anniversary here in this Skool group.

Am I making any money yet?

Truthfully…. No.

Have I spent any money on this AI agency building stuff?

Yes. Loads…

Agentics Website (great, but that’s my opinion). - £1,000
Agentics Blog - 200 ‘expert’ articles, all indexed with very high rankings on Google - £1,000 (complete waste of money - do not use Tely.ai )
Accounting/Bookkeeping - necessary for me. I am a VAT registered Limited company and though I could do (and have done) this myself, previous run-ins with the tax man have made me think again! - £1,000 well spent.
Business/AI Software subscriptions. You can not do this all for free. You have to pay and try out different stuff to see what works best for your set up. - £2,000 (Admittedly kept some subscriptions longer than I should have done.)
Misc business expenses. Stuff like a Zoom subscription, domain names, hosting and other misc business overhead stuff. - £2,000 (Actually longer than a year since I have been spending bits on AI for a while now, and all those receipts add up and should be kept track of.)
Business Development Rep. I have being paying a freelance professional with 17 years experience to cold call and develop relations with business owners with a view to selling high ticket AI consultancy/projects. - £3,000 (I have 4 appointments booked for October, not what I had hoped for, but this should build.)

Total: TEN GRAND!

Yep, £10,000 ‘professionally’ spent, and as yet £0 revenue.

But I only need one good client to cover this cost over the next few months, and two to get a return on my investment and make a very healthy monthly profit going forward.

I am now broke, which is seriously affecting my already very poor mental health, but I know I can get there.

I just have to keep on keeping on, and above all, trust in myself.

And you do too.

Best, P :)
