My 2025 AI Automation Journey ā The Real Truth
At the start of 2025, I decided I would build my own AI automation agency. I was motivated, watched Liam nonstop⦠but within 1ā2 weeks, that motivation disappeared and I became inconsistent. Months passed like that. In September, it hit me how much time I had wasted. I felt guilty, frustrated, and honestly, disappointed in myself. But I forced myself to start again. I built 2ā3 demo bots. Then in October, I built my first real-world automation ā for free. That project taught me APIs, webhooks, and real client communication more than any tutorial ever could. But after that, I struggled again. For weeks, I couldnāt get a single client. DMs were ignored, emails didnāt get replies, platforms limited me⦠it felt like I was moving but going nowhere. Then finally, in the first week of November, something changed āA client messaged me first after seeing my work. He hired me and that became the first money I ever earned in my life. It felt surreal. But again, Iām back fighting the same battle: finding clients. Some days itās motivating, most days itās a struggle. But Iām still here, still learning, still building. Iāve now built 6 automations, including an AI Voice Agent that can book, cancel, reschedule appointments and answer FAQs. And Iām not stopping this time. If anyone needs an automation ā or knows someone who does ā Iād love to help.
