From $10K builds and monthly retainers to first discovery calls, first agents, and warm outreach turning into real opportunities - this week inside AIS+ showed that sometimes the best clients are closer than you think. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Mike Thomson signed his first monthly retainer with zero cold outreach - a local restaurant found him through Google and closed at $10K upfront + $3K/month. 👉 @Leon Seguin-denis officially launched his agency by signing his first client for €5.5K setup + €290/month recurring revenue. 👉 @Ameeth B. signed a $3.5K + MRR client and shipped a BI dashboard that automatically consolidates data from 7 Smartsheets every morning. 👉 @Dean Henry reached out warmly to just 2 people about AI automation and both agreed to let him build for their businesses. 👉 @Ryan S. Howard held his first discovery call with a large church ministry and uncovered 4 potential workflows, including one that could save a leader 6-10 hours every week. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Karen Widas Karen joined AIS+ expecting useful training. What surprised her most was the community. Someone inside AIS+ helped audit her website, which eventually gave her the confidence to rebuild the entire thing herself using Claude Code - and later build a custom solution for one of her customers. For someone who normally considers herself a “lurker,” she also found herself comfortably posting, asking questions, and helping others. Her biggest takeaway? The right community doesn’t just teach you. It gives you the confidence to build things you didn’t think you could build before. 🎥 Watch Karen’s story 👇 ✨ Sometimes the next opportunity doesn’t come from reaching more people - it comes from becoming more useful to the people already around you.

From a $15K enterprise AI project and automated freight operations to complete website rebuilds and content pipelines replacing hours of filming, this week inside AIS+ was all about doing the deeper work that creates real progress. 🚀 Standout Wins of the Week inside AIS+ 👉 @Michael Wacht closed a $15,000 enterprise AI voice prototype designed to support an existing 20-person call center and handle thousands of customer conversations each month. 👉 @Jesse Gaskins built a one-command Claude Code pipeline that replaces his entire filming and editing process—from script and voice-over to animation and the finished video. 👉 @Kyle Rivelli transformed his manual freight brokerage role into an AI automation role in just 33 days, with several more business systems already in progress. 👉 @Karen Widas rebuilt her Squarespace website using a complete custom technology stack, including automated lead capture and follow-up emails. 👉 @Jim Anderson shared an honest one-month progress update at 66 years old, proving that you don’t need to be technical—or early—to start building with AI. ⸻ 🎥 Super Win Spotlight | @Liz Frost Liz joined AIS+ wondering whether she would actually stay consistent and do the work. But Nate’s teaching style, combined with the support and knowledge inside the community, helped her build confidence, learn faster, and better understand how to sell the outcome, not just the AI. The biggest proof? When her company later paid for a Deloitte training on AI and prompting, Liz found herself bored because much of it already felt familiar. For her: Nate’s Teaching Style + This Community = A Learning Experience Better Than Deloitte’s Training
