First sale hit this morning and I had to come tell THIS community first. 🎉 The Claude Certification Study System is live on Beacons — and someone believed in it enough to buy it before I even finished my coffee. This isn’t just a product. It’s the actual system I built to use Claude intentionally — for studying, for work, for thinking. Real prompts. Real use cases. Real results. If you’ve been wondering how to actually get Claude to work for you (not just with you), this is for you. Happy Friday!!

I just watched this presentation and it was great. So much insight, wisdom and value was shared. I'm more intentional about implementing what I'm learning as opposed to letting it sit in the module or in the zoom chats. I know I will definitely watch it again to catch all the things I missed!

@Christopher Lee I’m really glad you made the decision to step into CPDP. You’re going to notice pretty quickly that this isn’t about random prompts. It’s about structure, clarity, and being intentional with what you’re asking. What you could focus on first: Don’t rush through the modules Pay attention to how prompts are structured, not just what they say Practice as you go, not after Most important: Don’t just watch the content. Use it. Even if it’s not perfect, run your prompts, adjust them, and keep going. That’s where things start to click. From me to you: Since you joined through me, I’ll also be bringing you into AI Results Lab. That’s where we take what you’re learning and apply it in real time. We work through prompts, improve them, and turn them into something usable. I’ll share details with you shortly. Thank you for allowing me lead today @Mesha Bazemore, Certified Ai Consultant The replay will be available within 48 hours.

𝗛𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗺,👊🏾::: If you've been wondering whether the 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘅 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 is worth it ~ 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀. I was on the Pro plan at $𝟮𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 and kept hitting my limits. Between Cowork, vibe coding, Claude Code, the desktop app, Google Anitgravity, Visual Studio ~ I'm using Claude for so much that the Pro plan just couldn't keep up. So I upgraded to 𝗠𝗮𝘅 𝗮𝘁 $𝟭𝟬𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. They also have a $𝟮𝟬𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 tier, and if I ever hit the ceiling on this one, I'm upgrading without hesitation. But here's how I made the jump make sense: I 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲. I sat down and looked at every subscription I was paying for ~ and it was insane. We all have way more subscriptions than we realize. So I got honest about what I was actually using and where I was getting 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻. A few examples of what I did: I had 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 ~ a personal and a Teams account. Canceled the personal. The only reason I'm keeping the Teams account is because that's where most of the GPTs I've sold live. People have purchased those, and I need access to update them. Plus the Teams tier has certain benefits I still use. But I'm not actively building over there like I used to. I also don't want to put everything in one basket — so keeping a presence on ChatGPT still makes sense for me. I had a 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 at around $𝟰𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. Love Manus ~ you guys know that. But with everything Claude can do right now, and the updates they keep dropping, I downgraded Manus to the $𝟭𝟵/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 plan. Still have access, just at a tier that matches how much I'm actually using it. Did this across the board. Canceled what I didn't need. Downgraded what I wasn't using enough to justify the higher tier. Then redirected all of that toward the tool doing the 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. And think about it ~ $𝟭𝟬𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵. You can't hire anyone for that. Try to find someone at even $𝟮𝟬𝟬/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 who can do what Claude and Cowork handle daily. The 𝗥𝗢𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱. Now ~ I'm not saying everybody needs to jump to Claude. Maybe upgrading to a higher tier on ChatGPT makes more sense for you. Maybe Manus is your workhorse. The point isn't the platform. The point is this: 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿, 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. Cut the rest or scale it back.

I'm going to be real with you… AI is not the advantage anymore. Knowing how to use it with intention — THAT is the advantage. Tonight I'm breaking down two powerful paths that are available to you RIGHT NOW: 👉 The AI Coach — You become the person people come to when AI feels overwhelming. You stop figuring it out alone and start getting paid to help others figure it out. 👉 The AI Instructional Design Practitioner — You stop just creating content and start designing learning experiences that actually work. You build what others learn from. And for some of you… certification is just the beginning. There's a third conversation we're having tonight about legacy-level recognition — for those of you who have already been doing the work, already built something, already made an impact. 🎁 Attendees ONLY will receive an exclusive discount + flexible payment plan options that will NOT be offered anywhere else. This is not a replay situation. You need to be in the room. ⏰ See you TONIGHT. Drop a 🔥 below if you're coming.
