Hey everyone, I'm Josh I'm 19, based in the UK, and I build AI automation and outbound systems for business owners. I've already shipped a few real things: a contactless payment platform for schools that's live, different process automations for German Businesses, and I'm the technical cofounder of a data startup that just got full approval. And I'm building my agency around AI, automation & consulting, sold globally through a personal brand. Why I'm here: I do my best work around people who are actually building, and I've been doing this mostly solo. I want to fix that. So I'm looking to connect with one or two people who are also building something serious. Whether that's an accountability partner to keep each other on track daily, or just someone in the same trenches to swap wins, losses, and ideas with. Deffo not looking for motivation that dies in three days, looking for someone consistent who's in it for real. If that's you, or you're just building in AI and want to talk, comment or reach out. Glad to be here.

I’ve chosen my path I’ve chosen the AI Consultant path. I chose this path because I have over 12 years of hands-on experience helping run a local service business, including operations, customer communication, scheduling, lead follow-up, reviews, marketing, and workflow problem-solving. I’m not coming from a developer background, but I do understand where small businesses lose time, miss opportunities, and struggle with systems. The AI Tools Audit model feels like the right fit because I can use my business experience to help identify problems and recommend practical AI tools and automations that save time and improve follow-up. I’m most excited about learning how to turn real business pain points into a clear service offer, land my first AI consulting client, and build a more scalable income path.

If you're planning to build/already building an AI automation agency this year, keep reading: I'm Josh, 19, Nigeria/UK. Been in online business for a while: freelancing, SMMA, affiliate marketing, video editing, website design, CPA marketing. I understand content strategy, short form virality, and scaling IG/TikTok/YouTube pages, have sold a couple pages after growing them. Ran SMMA for local businesses, solar, home improvement, clients on retainers, full outreach, sales, everything, transitioning that agency into AI Automation & Consulting while collaborating with a Marketing Agency at once. Currently studying software engineering, on my internship, deep in UK property, working with investors, closing deals, building networks, moving full time into AI. Building real world automations, AI agents, and solutions brands pay for. So, I'm looking for someone/a group (new, building or with a product already): committed to AI, online business experienced, self improvement focused, we'll do regular check ins, sharing resources, solving problems together, brutal honesty, and moving things forward. If you're serious, DM with your online business experience, strongest skill (tech/sales/marketing/ops) and what you're currently building or working on right now with AI. If you can't answer those clearly, this probably isn't the right fit. Cheers.

I would like to inquire about personal and professional development. Although I own an AI automation agency, I currently lack the necessary skills. As my schooling will soon conclude, I am seeking guidance on how to enhance both my skills and the growth of my agency. Could someone provide me with a structured roadmap outlining what I should learn and where I might acquire this knowledge?
