It’s an interesting place to be every morning when you open your eyes and realize, you’re here again. The dreams fade. Light creaps in. And, all you knew the day before, is now a fleeting memory. Then, it comes… the urge, a push, a pull, to do something. Rub your yes? Use your abdominal muscles and other muscles to lift your body up out of your laying position? Or, for some, you grab your phone and dive into some kind of scrolling habit. Needless to say, this is the moment, when everything could change. And, it’s all up to you. Every morning. Every moment. Untapped potential. Every day. And, you’re not alone, either. Because, it’s a spiritual and scientific fact that… the moment you decide and are 100% clear about what you’re all about, that’s the moment the whole world starts to align and lean in.

Hey Community, "Coach Josh" here (your unofficial community cheerleader.) Well, thought I'd send an update to you and get some ENERGY ROCKIN'!!! You ready?! (Uh... yeah!!!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 1. I got an AIS+ shirt in the mail yesterday and wanted to show it off. :) How do I look?! Snazzy?! No. "Just Josh here" is more like it. ;) It was so fun getting this in the mail. I love this community. (Would like to be more active, tbh) But, hey. We do what we can. ***A word to @Nate Herk here I'd like to write. (a lil' note, just be a wall flower for a moment) -------- Dear Nate, Thank you... for the shirt, community, content, genuine love and care, and leadership in the AI space. Thank you for the belief you have in us, the way you are paving the way for all of us to succeed, and the many things you've got "up your sleeve" to help this world continue to perpetuate into the AI Era with success and foresight. Genuinely, thank you for all you do. Keep it up. —Josh "Be Bold. Be Brilliant. Be Undeniable." -------- 2. Hey, I just closed a $5K deal that went from a $4.5K audit into a $5K implementation. I'll admit, a little under par on the price but, hey, we are rocking it still. And, I'm hiring someone to help me fulfill which is my very "not so best for my zone of genius" part. So, yup. Making it happen for that one and I'm excited. 3. I proposed a $28K deal and got shot down. So, things aren't always the best but what I learned from that was... - make sure you create the ROI picture clearly - start smaller - or offer small, medium, and large engagements, - or do consulting hours like 3-5 blocks of hours. - (I could have done better but, at the same time, not the perfect client.) 4. Little side note on working out. Since December 3, 2025 I've been going to the gym and working out for 6 months now (hit the 6 month mark on June 3, 2026). Something I've never, ever, ever done before. I'm also signed up to run a 5K mid July and just got my road bike tubes from Amazon to get my road bike back up and "riding" as it's been sitting for, like, 3 years. Working out, taking care of your body, taking care of everything you own, your domain, your stewardships JUST 1% BETTER EACH DAY, is huge. Working out at the gym has changed my life and I would highly recommend some kind of "I take care of the body I was given" life "level up!"

Just almost a yearly wrap up. That is what it adds up to. Since August 2025, roughly 12 hours a day, every single day, building. No weekends off. No waiting for the right moment. Just learning & building. In the beginning it was not really building yet. It was learning and building at the same time. August, September, October, November were months of studying deep into the night, figuring out how all of this actually works. ( watched a lot of hours @Nate Herk videos) Slowly the balance tipped, and building became the bigger part. But one habit never changed: I still make a real study of every project before I start building it. Understand it first, then build it right. People ask what all those hours turned into. Here is the honest answer. I built things, a lot of them, mostly hands-on: ( I have 70 repos in Github) - Internal dashboards and a full Command Center to guide and steer our team in Uganda, so distance never becomes a wall. - Tailor-made CRM systems for food companies. - An operating system for an apple pie business. - Plexaris, a 16-week course platform to train students in Uganda, and - PRACTIQ Pro, an AI learning platform. - Plexaris AGRI, helping farmers in Africa become EU Deforestation Regulation compliant. - FoDiQ, Food Digital IQ for CPG and Foodservice. - SPEAQ, encrypted messaging with quantum-safe cryptography, now a native app, and - SPEAQ ID, sovereign digital identity. Access everything, give nothing. - HAKI, a legal-access platform for people in Uganda who normally never reach a lawyer. Product is build by the team in Uganda. Plexaris Command center to support and manage the team in Uganda - Plexaris HR, a complete HR platform running live, with payroll and post-quantum encryption. - DOQENT, a masterpiece for teachers, built together with a teacher from Slovenia. - CLARIQ, Where Clarity Meets Intelligence, C-level English learning, built with an Australian who lives in France. - And dozens of websites along the way and projects which are still in Stealth mode.

So. We're here. Monday. Another week. - We're alive and breathing. - We're empowered and leveraged. - We are able & willing. - We've shown up. Again. We also have two choices staring us in the face. Each day. And. Every day. - Do it the same as last week. - Or, do it different. I've learned. That when approaching a fork in the road. Two paths. That. Traveling down both. Is the best way to make the best decision. Let's do that now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imagine yourself, in your mind's eye, your imagination, approaching two doors. You sense, somehow, that your journey isn't to choose one. But, to choose both. One... at a time. FIRST: Enter left doorway. You approach the door on the left. And enter. You step into your bedroom where you proceed to observer YOU, living out the day that you'd normally live out as you have for weeks and months. You go through your normal morning routines. Until you approach your computer and sit down, ready to work. You do the same things the same way. (check email by navigating through the browser to your inbox, check LinkedIn, check AIS Skool group, etc.) Then, at some point (keep imagining) ...you start revenue generating activity. (outreach, answer emails, make calls, send DMs, take a meeting, send proposal, client work) All by manual platform surfing and app jumping. Maybe some automation sprinkled in... ...here and there. - You do the same things. - The same way. - Expecting the same results. That's fine. It's fine. Just for today. All in your imagination. And, as the sunlight turns yellow and your day comes to a close, you write down... - 3 wins - 3 improvments - 3 non-negotiables for tomorrow ...then you close your laptop or turn off your computer. Done. Just as you've done it. Just the same. For a long time. Imagine yourself watching you lay down in your bed once more.

Hey Community. There's some awesome stuff going on in the AIS+ community. I wanted to send you a little taste here in the post. Then, this link below has links to the community once you hop in and join. https://tinyurl.com/aisplus-josh (or scan the qr code for fun!) Just scan the code there. Try it. But I've curated the best resources here to get you set up on the right foot. Here's a snapshot of what I think are the best resources: - Mindset around how to approach the AI side hustle building. - AI Wealth building and why this is a perfect time. - How to build your portfolio. - Avoiding the AI Overwhelm. - The 10 Hours to 10 Seconds V2 course - How you'll need some peak performance principles to get you going and keep going. I build this app to share resources and content links for others to benefit from. The Zentile App. There's a link to join in the Zentile hub. It's a great community. Try it for a month and maximize everything that is in there. —Josh "No small plans." P.S. I've curated some free resources from the AIS community (here) as well.
