Small beginnings turned into unexpected expansion. Curious, what would you reinvest into if your income suddenly scaled?

There are tons of ways to get leads/clients, curious to hear what you guys think is the scariest. There are no right or wrong answers here.

This is your n8n Cheat Sheet for 2026 (Attached in this post) In this video I break down the 17 core n8n nodes that I use in almost every automation I build. After creating more than 200 workflows for real clients, my own AI automation business, and even for YouTube videos, these are the nodes that consistently show up across every use case. I walk through each node with real examples and explain why mastering this short list gives you the power to build almost anything in n8n. If you learn these 17, you can move fast, build confidently, and handle almost any automation project you run into.

“Why Most Automations Break (and How to Stop It)” People build once and forget — that’s why everything eventually breaks. Here’s what usually kills automations: ❌ Manual edits inside synced docs ❌ Moved or renamed fields ❌ Expired API keys ❌ Unhandled exceptions (like missing input data) The fix is boring but crucial: > Create a maintenance workflow — a simple weekly check that pings you if something fails. AI systems don’t die suddenly; they decay quietly. Be the builder who notices early.
