Straight truth: You will never keep up with all the ai changes as a small business owner especially as a soloprenuer who is not techy by nature. This is why we need to build ai independent systems. Systems that take our brain, methodology and the best practises of what we are trying to create into a system any ai, tech or software platform can understand. This means that you can flip your business to ANY platform as you have playbooks, files and skills that train it fast…so you don't have to start from scratch. DECIDE: What do you want AI to actually do and build processes like you would for an actual employee. test and improve. Create a skill and then create a skill that runs the skills and only THEN make it AGENTIC. Stop being talked into using generic skills and agents that will waste money and won't work for your business. If you have a HTML and css file or a markdown file (even if you have zero clue what they mean or how to produce them because AI did) - you can move at any time as these are the formats that all tech is written on. HTML is the "coding" for websites etc. Markdown is the text for tech since 2004 and AI knows how to change them you just need to know how to speak to AI to get it to change them and to match your methodology. Side note: this is also why I recommend to my clients to NEVER buy annual plans to tech or software anymore. In a month it is outdated and you may want to move but you will be held back because you already bought one and don't want to “waste” money buying another.

My speaking coach said something on our call this morning that I haven't been able to shake. "Stop working so hard on things that aren't working." Then she hit me with another one liner... "Stop resisting the easy ways to make money" Simple. Annoyingly simple. But I sat with it for a good hour because I knew exactly what she meant, even though she didn't know what I'd been building. We started this 90-day Execution Edge run on June 1st. Today is day 39. That's 43% of the way through, not quite the midpoint yet, but close enough that the data has started talking. Here's what it told me. I've spent a chunk of the last month building out full courses. Modules, lessons, the whole structure. Nobody's consuming it. I looked at the stats yesterday. Not because it's bad. Because I built it for a guru's model, not for how I actually sell and implement myself. Yesterday Claude and I wrote a chunk for my signature presentation that landed harder to me than almost anything I've said in weeks. "They sell you the information and disappear. They call it self paced or DIY, but what they're really doing is manufacturing procrastination, because nobody finishes a fifty video course alone. We know it and yet we are still creating courses pretending that they are helpful. That's not us failing. That's the model working exactly as designed to keep us spending. The one liner we wrote for that section of the presentation was "Information without Implementation is another complication (or the brutal version procrastination). I wrote that line and then had to sit back in my chair for a second, because I realized I'd just described what I was doing to myself. Brutal transformation moment... And AI is replacing it all faster than all of us want to admit. People are able to get all our information from AI and sometimes articulated even better than we can as I learned yesterday. Somewhere along the way I picked up the idea that you need the courses to "help people" and yet the data clearly shows that it isn't helping many if they all get thro less than 19% of our course.

Something I have been talking and reading about recently is the tiny experiements concept. This is where we are coming up with ideas and doing tiny experiments to test them for a certain number of reps. I want to go back to live streaming so I tested pre recording a video and streaming it live for 4 weeks. It wasn't having the effect and impact that I wanted to have so back to the drawing board. The main goals was that I want the "live streaming" in a place where it doesn't disappear in 24 hours like it does on social media platforms i.e Facebook. This past week I have been testing streaming to substack and youtube as I have a fancy OBS setup... EXCEPT... The internet signal (Starlink) and OBS are not cooperating. So I pivoted and tested restream with OBS and same thing = percieved fail. Today I tried streaming just OBS straight to youtube - streaming worked - replay seems chopped off at the moment so again another supposed fail. Replay is hidden for now. It says processing so maybe it will work eventually. At the moment the 19 min video replay is 11 mins. If it comes back I will post the replay as today I was talking about how we can own our systems with Claude from behind the scene in simple people talk so you can actually understand without needing the tech degree. Now I can quit and say that it is not possible and give up on the tiny experiment or I can keep testing ways and times to see when it does work. Maybe I need to pivot the tool or vehicle. This is what experimenting out loud is like. You just keep finding ways until you find the unique solution sometimes that is the way that works for you. No collapse in a pile "I FAILED" - just ok cool that didn't work - next. Troubleshooting in real time. Maybe I might have to comprimise on using OBS (the tool or vehicle) but we don't comprimise on the goal (livestream to Substack and Youtube). So if you see me going live on Substack or Youtube - possibly LinkedIn - say hi :D and know you will be seeing me implement the tiny experiment strategy in real time.

You are officially a phoenix and we are in this together🔥 Here say goodbye to the old school guru rules that kept us trapped. You have complete permission to experiment out loud and find what works for you. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Done is better than perfect. 1️⃣ Your first move is simple: introduce yourself below. Tell us: What do you sell? Who do you help? What kind of collaborators, referral partners, or clients are you looking for? What are you building or fixing in the next 90 days? We keep it simple. We keep out tech costs low. We take action. We build together. 2️⃣ Be Active Once you have done your intro, comment on 2 other intros from people you resonate with. This is a social selling community. We do not lurk. We build relationships.

You can not do it in a way that she has not seen. You will be caught. Not only will you get kicked out, we will name and shame such behaviour in the group. Just don't do it.

AI is coming for a lot of jobs, just like the computer, internet, smartphone and factory machines did. We have been through revolutions before where jobs were wiped. For example, the industrial age when tractors, assembly lines etc came in. People in those times acted just like people are now to AI. They dug their heels in, stuck their heads in the sand, complained and their jobs and businesses still went as there was no stopping it. Those that survived any of the changes that have come over the years came to a level of acceptance, tried to change the bad parts and pivoted. Those who don't accept AI and pivot will be as lost as those that didn't accept tractors or assembly line machines. Those that pivot and adapt will around as the changes happen. Like it or not, that is the way it is going. That is business and change. The good thing is that new jobs and businesses opportunities will arise and I hope it also means that it will give us greater balance to live a happy life and not just work ourselves into the ground. I know that what I have been doing for the last 7 years is one of the ones that will be replaced by AI in some form but I also know I can be ready for it and grow. I believe now more then ever that the 1 thing it can't take is our experience, stories and our ability to connect on a human level.
