I own a Christmas Light Installation Company. I’ve always felt like we have a lot of data to make us run quickly in season. About 1.5 months ago I crossed Nate’s videos. I started to watch a few and things started to come together. About 2 weeks after seeing a video I started building code and apps. As of 30 days from build out I have built over 70,000 lines of code in an interface for the company with over 40 applications. I don’t know the hrs I have put in but honestly I don’t want to know or care to cause of where we are as a company this year. We went from a wagon wheel for transport to an Intergalactic space sheep traveling at light speed. Just insane that we’ve reduced our tech stack and monthly software subscriptions by over 1000$. Not only that but every point of app is 10x better for us and our business than what’s available in the market. Just wanted to introduce myself and show my appreciation of the content Nate puts out. I don’t think he’ll ever know of the impact his content has made on my business.

I showed the system to someone outside the “AI space.” And honestly… best feedback so far 😭 Because they didn’t care about: - prompts - workflows - automations - any of the technical stuff Their only questions were: “How fast does this save me time?” and “Does this stop leads from slipping through?” That hit me hard. Builders love explaining features. Clients care about outcomes. So I spent most of today simplifying the onboarding even more. Removed: - unnecessary setup steps - technical wording - extra configuration Trying to make this feel less like “software” and more like: “plug this in and your lead flow gets cleaner.” Still early, but I finally feel like I’m building around actual business pain instead of just cool tech.

@Lindsay and @Nate just watched you video on I stopped learning AI…. I have that PROBLEM!!!! Im building and building and not finishing but I have a potential client with 12 locations that will use my system but cannot get the system finished. I NEED HELP WITH THE MWNTAL GAP I NEED TO FILL!!!!!

I’ve been building automation systems… but clients actually buy emotional relief 😅 Nobody wakes up thinking: “Wow I really need an AI workflow.” They think: - “Why are leads slipping through?” - “Why is my team slow to reply?” - “Why does everything feel chaotic?” That changed how I rewrote the offer today. Before: “AI-powered lead automation system” Now: “Never lose a warm lead because your business replied too late.” Same system. Completely different feeling. Also started testing response timing. A lead getting a useful reply in 2 minutes vs 2 hours feels INSANELY different psychologically. The crazy part? Most businesses still operate like it’s 2018 when it comes to speed. Feels like there’s a huge opportunity just in fixing responsiveness.

Everyone in the AI space is being told the same thing right now: start an AI automation agency. But there's a bigger, quieter shift happening that fits way more people. In this video I break down a recent IBM study of 2,000 CEOs, the new chief AI officer wave, the 61-point gap between who can use AI and who actually does, and the two paths into that seat. By the end, you'll know which one fits you and why playing to your strengths matters more than chasing the loudest trend.
