Where can I create and test unlimited workflows? Is that n8n self hosting using docker?

Got a $25,500 contract this week. Almost lost it twice. First almost-loss: My proposal was too complex. 4 pages. 12 milestones. They got overwhelmed. ⚒️ Fix: Simplified to 1 page. 3 phases. Clear outcomes. Second almost-loss: Didn't explain the value, just the work. "We'll build X, Y, Z" means nothing. ⚒️ Fix: Reframed around outcome. "In 4 weeks, you'll have a platform doing X, saving $Y per month." What sealed the deal: - Discovery call where I just listened - One-page proposal with clear ROI - Milestone 1 was low-risk ($1,100) - Fast response to every question (<2 hours) Clients buy outcomes, not hours. What's your best client-closing tip?

In this video, I break down the AI systems pyramid and explain how I decide what type of system to build for a given problem. We walk through all four layers, starting with custom GPTs, then simple workflow automations with no AI, followed by AI workflows, and finally full AI agents. As you move up the pyramid, complexity, cost, and the chance of things going wrong all increase, and I explain exactly why that matters in real projects. I also show real examples of each layer so you can see how these systems actually work in practice. By the end of the video, you should be able to confidently decide which type of AI system you need to build and avoid overengineering solutions that do not need it. Access the Decision Tree HERE
