Really enjoying Nate's 8 hours+ course. Half way through can't wait to get to the end.😁

👉 “I’m getting 800 emails per day. I need them labeled and arranged by importance so I can respond faster. But it has to be for Outlook (not Gmail). And I need it in under 8 hours.” Challenge accepted. ⚡ In less than 8 hours, I delivered a full automation system built on n8n (open-source). Here’s what it does: ✓ Labels every email automatically ✓ Organizes them importance-wise so critical emails show up first ✓ Triggers every 10 minutes to catch all new emails ✓ Works flawlessly with Outlook Result? He no longer wastes hours opening emails one by one. Instead, he goes straight to the most important ones and saves massive time daily.

Nate here, Over the past 9 months, my co-founders (Milan and Tyler) and I have scaled TrueHorizon AI to over $100k/month. Now, we’re opening applications for the TrueHorizon AI Partner Incubator founding cohort, a 10-week, high-touch program built to help AI agency owners systematize, scale, and become true AI partners. ⚠️ Applications close September 26th. Spots are limited, so get yours in soon. And if you know someone already running an agency who’d be a fit, send them our way. 👉 More information here

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

Hey guys, Michael here. One of the biggest traps I see AI agency owners fall into is trying to scale too soon. I get it — once you land your first few clients, the excitement kicks in and you immediately start thinking about building a team, hiring VAs, adding new offers, or even trying to jump into paid ads. I made the same mistakes in the early stages in my AI consulting agency. But here’s the reality: 👉 Scaling something that isn’t stable yet usually makes the problems bigger, not smaller. Before you scale, you need to lock in three foundations: 1. Offer-market fit. Do you have a specific problem, for a specific niche, that people are happy to pay you to solve? If not, nothing else matters. 2. Consistent acquisition channel. Can you reliably get new conversations each week? If your calendar isn’t steady, you don’t have a growth engine yet — you have a fluke. 3. Delivery system that doesn’t depend on you alone. Even if you’re solo, you need repeatable systems for onboarding, fulfillment, and client results. Otherwise every new client just adds to the chaos. Once you have those three locked, scaling is fun. Until then, it’s premature. Here’s how I think about it: “Scaling a broken system just breaks faster.” If you’re in the early or messy middle stage, my best advice is: slow down, tighten your systems, and make sure your foundation is unshakable. Growth will actually come faster that way. —Michael
