[DAY 3] If You Have ICP and Offer, Time to Build Your Warm List 🎯
Hey Avengers, Day 3 Progress Check. First, some wins from the community: 1. Rob : “Day 1 ICP completed and Day 2 Offer Creation Worksheet completed.” 2. Kaylen: “Day 1 and Day 2 complete.” If you’re one of these people, you’re ahead of most who start programs like this. Now it’s time for the next step. THE TRUTH ABOUT BUILDING AN AI BUSINESS Building an AI business is hard. It’s worth doing, but it isn’t a shortcut and it isn’t fast money. This process is about: - Understanding your market (ICP) - Creating a valuable offer (outcome-based) - Talking to real people (outreach) - Getting feedback (iteration) - Closing deals (revenue) There are no shortcuts. Only action. YOUR DAY 3 MISSION: Build Your Warm Connection List If your ICP and Offer worksheets are done, here’s your weekend task. STEP 1: Look Around Your Network Identify people who match your ICP: - Former colleagues - LinkedIn connections - Local business owners - Friends of friends - Community contacts - Past clients Make a list of 20–50 people. Keep it simple. STEP 2: Start Conversations (Not Sales) Talk to people about what you’re building. Focus on feedback, not selling. Sample message: “Hey [Name], I’m building something new in the AI space and I’d like your feedback. I’m helping [YOUR ICP] with [YOUR OUTCOME]. Do you know anyone who might benefit? Or would you be open to a quick 15-minute chat?” That’s all you need. STEP 3: Document the Feedback After each conversation, note: - What resonated - What confused them - Any objections - Referrals they suggested This feedback will sharpen your ICP, offer, and messaging. STILL WORKING ON YOUR ICP/OFFER? If you’re still on Day 1 or Day 2, that’s fine. You have until Monday. Perfection slows people down. You refine by talking to real people, not by polishing documents. Start executing. YOUR WEEKEND CHECKLIST By Monday morning: - ICP worksheet completed (Day 1) - Offer Creation worksheet completed (Day 2) - Warm list of 20–50 people (Day 3) - At least 3–5 conversations started
