Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. 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. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

🌶️ CINCO DE MAYO FIRESALE — STARTS NOW 🌶️
Locked in for the next 5 days only. Ends May 5th at 10:00 AM EST. No exceptions. 🎉 Premium: $27 → $14/mo 🎉 VIP: $97 → $67/mo The closest you'll get to our original launch pricing. We're doing this because the community has shown up for us, and we want to show up back. 🤝 🔥 Already a member? Read this carefully. To lock in the new rate, you need to: 1. Cancel your current plan 2. Resign under the new price That's the only way the system can apply the new rate. We have way too many members for manual refunds, so we can't refund anyone who just signed up at current pricing. But the savings stack month over month, so if you plan to stick around (and you should 😁), the math works out fast. 🚫 A few ground rules: Please do not DM myself or Jake about pricing, exceptions, or extensions. We love you, but we're a small team and we need to stay focused on building. Everyone gets the same window. Everyone gets the same deal. If you miss it, you miss it. We'll do more things for the community down the road. ⏰ The clock: 🟢 LIVE NOW 🔴 Locks May 5th, 10:00 AM EST - Premium gets you The Vault and Afternoon Tea calls. - VIP gets you The Drawing Room, High Tea, and bespoke folder builds from Jake himself. If you've been on the fence, this is the moment. 🚀 Tag a friend who needs to be in here. Let's make Cinco a movement. 🎊 🌶️🌶️🌶️

First Big Win! First client is signed
Signed before the tool is finished. Signed before the new company is even incorporated. I'm building a Marketing Stack for my SaaS company and before I was finished with Phase 1 of the seven planned phases I was thinking about several people who had talked to me recently about their pain in the same area. Made the call, explained the idea, addressed their pain, and signed the deal. If you approach what your are building as a system that can be deeply customized for each user, then you have a product that people will want. Build it to solve your problem but remember that the customization, the personalization, the flexibility, and the agility of what we can build with AI as the newest abstraction layer of software development is what makes what we are doing here better than what SaaS can do. SaaS is a cookie cutter template that the r has to cram themselves into. What we can build is deeply personalized software solutions.

I just showed what I was building and it opened a door
At work we have strict rules around AI and for a long time I thought it would never be possible to get access to tools like Claude. In my personal life I've been using AI for a while now mainly to help me build Power Automate flows. I'm not technical but I know what I want and I've built a lot in SharePoint that helps me do my job. A few months ago I hit a wall. I kept having to explain to AI who I was and what I wanted every single time. I was done with it. Online there was so much going on that it felt like I was missing everything. Then a video from Jake showed up on Instagram. I scrolled past it twice. The third time I watched it. It was about the folder structure he used. I could see what he was building but I had no idea if it would actually work for me. After one week the results were way better than I expected. And it keeps getting better. Back to work. I wanted to find out what AI options were actually available within our company. So I showed my work to a few people. Turns out the company has a dedicated AI team already working with Claude. I didn't even know that. They told me I was further ahead than most people and that they loved seeing that I had picked up the folder structure the way I did. That is what convinced them. Only a few people in our entire organization have access to that environment. And now I'm one of them. Really happy about this 🚀🏆
