My name is Daniel, 47 years old and father of 4. Coming from Enschede, the Netherlands and working as an International Sales Manager in the the horticulture industry. I am learning AI skills following the consultant route because I want to be less dependent on my employer and create more freedom of both time, location and finance.

Just sent them and it felt great! Already got one confirmed!

After a lot of thinking and exploring different directions, I’ve decided to fully commit to the consultancy path. The reason is quite simple: my background is already built around people, communication and relationships. I’ve spent my whole life in sales, working in different markets, building networks and connecting with people across industries. That part comes very naturally to me. I’m a communicator at heart and I find it easy to understand people, their needs, and how to bridge that to solutions. On top of that, I already have a strong network, both within my current industry and more broadly. That feels like a solid foundation to build something new on. What excites me most is what this shift represents for the future. Moving more towards consultancy means I can start shaping my own path instead of being fully dependent on an employer. More flexibility in how I work, more freedom in where I work from, and eventually building towards financial independence. But even more than that, I want to become truly skilled in AI automation and position myself as someone who understands how to apply it in a practical, business-driven way. Not just following the trend, but actually helping businesses use it in a meaningful way. This feels like a step towards something bigger, and I’m genuinely excited to see where it leads.

Hey everyone 👋 I want to make sure you’re truly using what’s inside the Classroom here on Skool — because it isn’t just theoretical content. It’s the proven starting point for building an AI service business in 2026, based on everything I've learned scaling my own 7-figure AI agency. When I first launched my business back in 2022, I was figuring things out in the dark — long days, trial and error, and a lot of mistakes before the real patterns finally emerged. Since then, I’ve worked with 7, 8, and 9-figure clients, helped thousands of people start AI agencies, and studied what separates the people who succeed from the ones who stall. And now the data is clear: There are TWO proven paths people are using to break into AI. All you have to do is choose the path that fits how you think and work. That’s why the very first thing you should do here is go to the Start Here module inside the Classroom. Inside it, you’ll find: - A clear breakdown of the two proven paths - Clarity on how to pick the one that fits you best - Then you'll find your playbook to land your first paid client fast Everything I wish I had when I started — the frameworks, playbooks, lessons, and action plans — is inside this Classroom. And I continue to update it based on what’s working right now. It’s all here for you, step by step. Don’t let this sit in your dashboard like another course. This is the stuff I lived to be where I am right now.
