Last week I closed a $4k/month retainer + add ons. Where did that client come from?.. TikTok🤯 I can’t talk about the product as I’ve signed an NDA, but it’s a B2B SaaS product and I’m being paid for AI consulting and ensuring the AI strategy is right for both the product and the marketing. I’m not building anything - the client has their own devs for building the product. Huge thanks again to my brother in automation @Charles Dove who’s helped me massively with my content🙏 It just goes to show the power of social media if you’re willing to get in front of a camera - I wish I’d started sooner but we can’t change the past, only shape the future❤️‍🔥

@Eric Michaud @Fraser Kemp @Larry Maguire @Kerry Patrick You gentlemen made my Saturday, had a blast sharing info, and building our relationships! Will be dropping the recording in the weekly call library, but as a freebie throwing it in the comments here below. We spoke on Social Media Optimization, Claude Code Frameworks, and general life/biz growth. Feel free to watch the read.ai breakdown once it finalizes!

Yesterday I sent a $60k proposal to a prospect for a large project build.🧱 I sat here for a while contemplating whether or not to hit send, then I started questioning whether or not I was overcharging as that's the first time I've sent a $50k+ proposal.🤔 I recruited a 2nd opinion from a trusted brother who's also in the trenches @Charles Dove to get his take and his advice: He said that deals at that value are all about structure - the structure can make or break the deal. He also reminded me that the outcome for the client (which in this case is replacing team members with AI) recoups the cost of the project in just a short period of time.📈 💎Key takeaways: 1. When you aren't sure about something don't be scared to ask for help, build a network of people you can lean on for advice.... that is EXACTLY what this community is all about.⭐ 2. Always think about the solution through the lens of the client, not by the number on the proposal. If the outcome is desirable enough, the cost becomes secondary.

Wrapping up a client project this week. Here is a quick overview: The client asked for a solution which automates his stores follow up sequences. His stores and orders data was living inside of Google Sheets and Excel. I proposed migrating everything over to Airtable and having that as the frontend UI for the n8n automation on the backend. Airtable for those of you who haven't used it is extremely modular and very convenient for integrating with n8n automations. Tomorrow we'll be looking to complete the data transfer into Airtable, then Tuesday I'll be putting it through a final stress test before handover later in the week. The client is now looking into further automations for accounting and stock monitoring - all of which can just be bolted onto the existing Airtable infrastructure we've already built out.

Hey team First long form boxed off yesterday and posted. Aiming to post one every day for the next 9 days in what is going to be a 10-part n8n masterclass series taking the viewer from having never stepped foot inside n8n, by the end they'll have built a $5,000 agentic RAG system. Also working on a Claude code masterclass where I'll be covering everything from installing Claude Code, PRD's, infrastructure, databases, deployment and much more. Would appreciate some feedback on the first ~60 seconds, as that's where the time went into editing. Hope everyone is set for a productive week!
