When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions.

🏆 WEEKLY WINNER: Alexander Paschka
First Monday. First winner. Let's go. @Alexander Paschka topped the 7-day leaderboard with +454 points and earned himself free lifetime VIP access. (Thousands of dollars in value) He was already a paying VIP member, so we upgraded him to Free lifetime access. Free members get upgraded to Premium etc. That's how this works. You show up, you lead, you get taken care of. Now here's the part worth paying attention to. Alexander didn't rack up 454 points by gaming the system. He posted a real Win🏆. One of his clients is buying 10 seats of Claude Enterprise, and Alexander is leading the training. He learned how to do that here. Then he went out and sold it. The community went crazy because that post was useful. People wanted to know how he did it, what he said, how the conversation went. That's engagement you can't fake. You share something real, people respond. And that's the lesson buried in the leaderboard. The thing that got Alexander to #1 is the same thing that works on LinkedIn, on YouTube, on any platform where attention matters. You give people something they can use and they come back for more. The skills that make you valuable in this community make you valuable everywhere else too. I mean its the reason this community exists in the first place. And now you have a place to practice it, if it works here you know it will work every where else. Shoutout to @David Vogel at #2 with +221. David has been showing up in almost every post and every live class adding real, specific, helpful input. Consistent. Week after week. (He earned VIP early on) Keep watching that name. Millenial Cat and Shirsho Guha rounded out the top 4. Respect. The leaderboard resets soon. New week. New race. Whoever is on top next Monday morning gets the same deal. Free lifetime Premium if you're on the free plan. Free lifetime VIP if you're already VIP.

We just hit 20,000 Members!
It's been quite a journey, in about 1 month and 9 days, we went from 22 members to 20,000... The growth we've faced is amazing. I still remember joining this community back when the link wasn't even public and DMing Jake, the value back then and now is insane. We had our high tea call yesterday and the engagement we had was amazing as well, Jake himself ended up learning something new. This community has grown a lot since day 1 and we aren't stopping yet, Jake has tons of exciting stuff coming (can't leak too much) and we've got so far to go. Even if you go back to the first module ever made, that content is still relevant, we don't follow trends here at Clief Notes, we make systems that last a decade. We'd love to learn more about you guys, the community. What do you guys want more of? Calls? Courses? Topics covered? Assistance? If you guys want anything or hate something that's going on right now, let us know, we take every single piece of feedback and don't worry, we aren't deleting the hate comments like the TikTokers do.

Just dropped a new asset in the Vault
Just dropped a new asset in the Vault course for all Premium members. 8 Claude prompts pulled from our first VIP session. The Prompt Library - The Vault · Quick context on what these are and where they come from. The VIP Drawing Room runs live strategy sessions where members bring their actual businesses to the table. This week Ruby brought her cleaning company, Barkley brought a PE deal flow problem, Megan shared SEO results that jumped 99 spots in 82 cities in three days. From that session I built a full artifact package for VIP: a slide deck with real business frameworks and case studies mapped to each member, three strategy docs designed for Claude, and a term sheet breaking down every piece of jargon. The VIP teams have already spun up their own meeting rooms off the back of it. Over 6 hours of member-led business sessions in the last two days alone. What you are getting in Premium is the prompt library distilled from all of that work. These are the Claude prompts that came out of those frameworks. Zero-spend audits, agency undercut pricing, content-to-client pipelines, the full set. Each one is ready to paste into Claude with your own business context. I want to be straight about why the tiers work the way they do. Turning live sessions into artifacts takes real time. I flew back from New York today and have been up all night building these out. My time is the bottleneck, not the courses. The courses scale. The artifact packages and live strategy work do not. The VIP tier is what funds that time so I can keep the free content flowing and keep Premium loaded with material like this. Premium members, Afternoon Tea is next weekend and you will be getting your own session package from that. More coming. For VIP members, full artifact package is in the Drawing Room course. Slide deck, three strategy docs, term sheet, the whole thing. Your Google form responses are coming tomorrow. 4/11/2026 - The Drawing Room (VIP) ·
