Pricing is always a dance, and when a prospect starts pushing back, here’s how I keep things focused, comfortable, and in my control: Step 1: I don’t drop the number. I reduce the scope. Instead of negotiating against myself, I ask: “What would you like to remove from the scope to reach your target budget?” This puts the ball in their court and keeps the value of my work intact. Step 2: I define clear tiers for reduction. If they want to shave cost, I already know how to trim. From a recent example: - 1st reduction: Build on n8n native cloud instead of self-hosted on AWS, faster setup, fewer moving parts. - 2nd reduction: Stick to rule-based or simpler templated replies first. Delay fine-tuned LLM or RAG integration. - 3rd reduction: Start with just 2–3 email categories, not 10. Scale once results are proven. Step 3: I make it about outcomes. I remind them: “The more we reduce, the less automation you get up front. Totally fine, we just want to be intentional about the tradeoffs.” This shifts the conversation from “how much can I squeeze you” to “what’s the real goal and how do we build toward it?” Keeps things clean. Keeps me in a trusted position. Hope this helps someone out there! 🙏

Hello everybody. Can someone let me know what I’m doing wrong? My scenario is: I have 100 videos that have been uploaded to Google Drive and their files names have been written in a GoogleSheet. The idea of the workflow is, first, it will look for the filename (Get_rows node) then if the status is “todo” and the video URL is not empty (check one node) it will extract the video URL (extract URL), after that if fileID is not empty (check Two node) it will go to batches and 3 videos will be processed every time. 3 videos will be downloaded, transcribed and my LLM Basic Chain will create a title, description, hashtags etc based on the transcription. My idea is to fill the spreadsheet columns (“title”, “description”, “hashtags” and “x_description”) with the information produced by the LLM Basic Chain node.However, I run into an issue. For example, every 3 videos that are processed (batches) rows 2, 3 and 4 gets updated in the spreadsheet. So basically if I run the workflow twice, the data gets overwritten because rather than adding the new data (second batch of 3 videos) to row number 5, 6 and 7 (for example) the new batch overwrites rows 2, 3 and 4, so I end up with the data from videos 04 (row 5), 05 (row 6) and 06(row 07) in the row 2, 3 and 4. This is hard to explain, but do you understand what I mean? I’ve tried to map this out using the filename (which is unique) and row number but I keep getting this behaviour. What I want is the workflow to fill the rows based on the filename, not overwrite the information. Do you know what I’m doing wrong and how I should fix this? Thanks in advance for your input!

Not too long ago, I was stuck in a 9–5, barely making enough to cover the bills. Life felt like it was on repeat, work, pay, stress, repeat. I tried different online ventures and failed more times than I can count. But one thing I didn’t quit on was showing up consistently. That persistence finally paid off, I built a system that now generates over $50,000+ in a month. The real win isn’t just the income, it’s the freedom. Freedom to take care of my family, make my own choices, and focus on growth instead of just survival. Now, I’m exploring new ways to scale even further and it feels like I’m just getting started. ---- What was the single decision or mindset shift that helped you move from just getting by to actually growing?

Hi everyone, A lot of people are stuck on which AI business to start. Here’s a quick way to figure it out: 1. Go to Upwork or Fiverr 2. Search for 'Automation' or 'AI' jobs 3. Scan through until you find problem or build that you understand 4. Build a fast demo with make.com or n8n.io 5. Show it to people by recording quick 2-5 min videos explaining how it will help them specifically (Yes, one video per application. This makes you able to personalize the intro which increases conversion rate) 6. If someone is interested, you have a business. I use this framework to both get clients and figure out new modules to build. Hope you found this useful. Let me know if you have any questions 🙏

Hi everyone, A lot of us (especially me) have been overwhelmed by the flood of AI tools. Here’s a process I’ve been using for a while now that keeps things simple: 1. Pick one task (automation building, CRM, etc.). 2. Test just ONE tool for that task (most tools can do at least 80% of what you need it to). 3. Stick with it for minimum of 2 weeks. Only upgrade when you hit a limit (usage or features). 4. Add a new tool only after you’ve mastered the last one. This will stop AI tool overload. Happy to clarify if needed 🙏
