I’m 46. I spent 30 years on the tools. I joined Nate’s AIS Skool community in October last year. This morning a UK construction MD emailed me four words I’ll remember for the rest of my life: “Can we proceed with phase-1 please.” Here’s how it happened. Today, the MD of a UK construction firm emailed me four words I’ll remember for the rest of my life. “Can we proceed with phase-1 please.” £4,500 Phase 1 build. 50% deposit on start, 50% on delivery, two-week go-live guarantee. Signed verbally Tuesday evening, confirmed in writing this morning. This is not a victory lap. This is a story for anyone in this community sitting where I was sitting back in October when I first showed up. If I can do this, you absolutely can. Here’s how it actually happened. Where I came from 30 years on the tools. 20 of them co-founding a construction firm that grew from 2 people to 70. I’m 46. I started teaching myself AI in early 2025. Properly self-taught. No degree, no tech background, just YouTube and reading and breaking things and fixing them. The timeline that matters for this room: - 23 June 2025 I joined Liam Ottley’s AAA Skool community. Still a member today. - 15 September 2025 I incorporated ConstructionX AI Ltd at Companies House. - October 2025 I joined Nate Herk’s AIS Skool community. - November 2025 I joined AIS+. - Late January 2026 I stepped up into Liam’s paid AAA Accelerator tier. Still a member today. - 13 February 2026 the workspace went live and I committed to two posts a day. - 14 May 2026 (today) the first £4,500 build signs through the productised funnel. The brand had been quietly forming for months before the daily build started. Domain registered, soft conversations, early demos for friends. The visible push did not really begin until February. So: - ~14 months teaching myself AI - 8 months since incorporation - 7 months in this room - 6 months in AIS+ - 3 months of daily public building - Today, the first £4,500 build Not slowly, not quickly. Just relentlessly.

@Nate Herk @Nate Herk I am so grateful for your free AI education. What I learned from you, and Sabrina Romanov, as a combination, has taught me so much! Today, I won 2nd place in a worldwide app competition for women app builders! This app build would not have been possible without two of your videos specifically, the videos you made on Claude /superpowers and Claude /ultrathink. I had developed an SOP based on everything that was in those videos and it worked so perfectly. I used your teachings and one-shotted my very first demo production app, entered in a competition as a first time app builder. It’s a demo app so it uses fake data which I also learned about from you as a way to test out app workflow. I couldn’t believe it today when I placed second in this worldwide competition!! And thank you for your free education it was possible because of what I learned from you!! Honestly all of the Claude best practices, all of your context saving tips and tricks, and all of your systematized building methods or what enabled me to be successful. I just wanna say thank you @Nate Herk you’re honestly been so generous with your talent and time and giving away all this education for free and I really appreciate you!! And to everyone else who is reading this if you’ve never built an app before and you’re stuck in research mode, just do it. After actually getting in there and working with all the tools, everything in Nate’s videos really started to make sense. I now have a level of confidence I never had before and I’m really excited to see what I can do with this app. I’m planning to release it commercially. At this time last year, I had never even touched AI. Just six months ago I was only using ChatGPT like a search engine. Three months ago that I serious and started thinking about building an app. April 24, I started building my first project and I had a deadline of May 1To get it into the competition.
