Good morning everyone, I want to start off by 🎉 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 🎉 we had over night: @Angel Hernandez @Richard Wood @James Krener @Michal Somek @Alexander Medrano Kreidler @Nicky Adams @Trey Pinkerman @Jalmari Kivinen 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 I want to invite you all to take a look at the 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓 I have added a bi weekly 30 minute orientation for new members as well as 30 minute bi weekly Claude Masterclasses for all members. Including our premium masterclasses we've also been hosting for premium/vip members. That is the first update I wanted to announce. 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒍𝒚, after spending a lot of time looking through all your bottleneck reports, I have figured out exactly what this 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 needs. And that's where I will be investing a lot of time from now until the end of October. 1️⃣ A clear "Start Here" path for those of you feeling operationally paralyze. This will alleviate the lost and overwhelm feelings arising when diving into these systems. 2️⃣ Organic/Free Lead Generation with Claude Code. A lot of you are also in a place where you can build, have a CRM setup, but CANNOT sell. I'll be showing you how to reliably get customers with Claude. 3️⃣ In addition to point 2, a focus on Meta Ads MCP (Paid Lead Generation), how to automate ads with Claude Code. I plan on bringing @Trey Pinkerman into the loop to help showcase how to do this at scale. 4️⃣ On our live calls we will be discussing "PRICING", helping you guys close more deals and figure out why leads are backing out from your offer. DATA driven discussions. 5️⃣ Claude Code second brain content, what it is, what's necessary, and what's fluff. Alongside how to technically set this stuff up.

You're here. Good. Let's get you building. You just joined a community of builders going from "tinkering" to "shipped" using Claude Code. No dev team required. I'm Charlie, 13 years of entrepreneurship, & I run an AI agency (https://ccstrategic.io). As you probably already know, I also create educational content on AI Systems across multiple Social Media Channels. Everything here comes from what I'm doing right now, not stuff I read about. This community exists for one reason: to help you actually ship AI workflows that save time or make money. Not tinkering. Not theory. Real systems you deploy this week, built with Claude Code, measured in hours saved or dollars earned. 🎬 Watch This First (45 seconds) Quick orientation so you know where everything is. 🎯 Who This Is For AI beginners who want a build system, not another course Business owners who want AI to handle the parts you hate First-time builders ready to ship a product, not another plan No technical background required. If you can follow steps, you can build this stuff. 📂 Where to Find What You Need Classroom: Free guides, templates, and workflows Calendar: Find out when we're hosting LIVE Calls Search bar: Fastest way to find anything Desktop: Best experience for downloading templates 👋 Your First Actions (Do These Now) Take the Bottleneck Finder: https://www.charlieautomates.com/diagnose/ Chasing rabbits is fun until you realize you've gotten nowhere. This finds YOUR highest lever to pull (5 minutes). You'll get a full report you can feed straight into Claude. Drop a post in Introductions and tell us: - What you're building, or want to build - Your Bottleneck Finder result I read every single response. It tells me what to build next, and some of the best connections here started from a simple intro. Get your report today, and build the solution this week. Learn while building the stuff you ACTUALLY need.

This is my honest experience using Grok Bot for email triage over the past couple of weeks, and it's definitely one of the EASIEST AI Assistant platforms out right now. Super beginner friendly. I did a video on how to use Claude Cowork to manage your emails 6 months ago, but the biggest issue is that it ONLY works with your computer on. Grok Bot can do all your email triage 24/7 with no API, your computer off, and only $20 a month. Anyone can set this up, it's cheaper than most solutions out right now, and it's fun to use. Share your feedback and let me know how your setup goes!

As a business owner, when I work on days like this, I feel like I am getting a head start lol. While everyone is sleeping, and non active. I am able to have a day to catchup with important tasks, while not feeling the pressure of daily work life. Hard to explain, can anyone relate here? 🤣

It's nice and early, & I'm sitting at a bagel shop pre meditating on my day / week ahead. Setting the tone for the day is something I've been lacking on lately, but it typically gives me much more peace in everything I do. And with so much going on, life can seem overwhelming. So I wanted to share some perspective with y'all! I just put out an IG story talking about opinions/advice. Everyone has one for you, but deep down WE only know what's right for our lives. With that being said, all we can do is gain perspective from those around us, and do what works for us, then do that to the best of our ability. But it doesn't stop there, adapting to our surroundings is a life long journey. It's best we remember most things in life are NOT fixed, so we just need to keep our focus fixed on that reality. I've been struggling to build my business for 13 years now, and it took me all that time to become the man I am today. The peace for me lies in the fact that I can't control everything, so I can just focus on what I CAN control. Ok, that's the end of my schpeal for today. Quick update before I let you all go, going into October I will be revamping the classroom with a bunch of new education around the following topics: - AI Second Brain Walkthroughs - Meta Ads Automation w/ Claude - Deep dives into Website Creation (templates/hosting/deploying) - Site Analytics Tracking W/ Claude - CRM Breakdown (Automations included) But I'm open to hearing what you guys want more of 100% so please feel free to share! As always, God bless, and remember I'm just a DM away! Thanks for reading, Charlie
