Where to start?
Hopefully this is helpful for those overwhelmed not knowing where to start. There's a fair amount of posts from inexperienced non-tech folks asking where to start and you can quickly see the motivation is money and ease. Essentially: What are ya'll doing and whats the easiest/quickest way for me to get there with the least amount of work and make the most amount of money? Don't get me wrong, I'm a business owner, I get it you don't want to waste time on unprofitable ventures. My unsolicited $0.02. Don't try to shortcut or hack the process. If you're just getting started with 0 tech knowledge and experience, stop asking what's most profitable with least effort and just start building something you'd find useful. Keep your day job, build on the side. I like the way @David Vogel puts it as "garage tinkering". I genuinely look this tech stuff the same way when I started "garage tinkering" with woodworking tools. I didn't go in my garage and think hmm what can I build that has the best profit margins? I just starting building things I had a need for and thought were useful and that's where the learning happened. I guess what I'm getting at is if you're struggling where to start: 1. Watch, read, learn 2. Get your hands dirty and apply 3. Repeat Happy building!

I generally use it on my phone on the go. Mostly for research and brainstorming. Then I have it write a summary plan and give it to Claude which exposes the all the holes in the plan it created. NotebookLM is one of my favorite free resources these days. I really enjoy the podcast type feature so I can learn a specific subject on my drives.
Just Dropped - Secret Code Behind Better Results
Most people think they have an AI problem. What they actually have is a packaging problem. You don’t need to become a developer to use AI effectively. This guide breaks down the real “code” behind better results: prompts, skills, connectors, MCPs, hooks, scripts, and plugins — and shows you exactly when (and why) to use each one. Check it out in Davids Corner: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/c7f102c7?md=9a0d198e1c0140578f37f1c93873c2b6

Fantastic summary and examples for us non tech folk. Much appreciated @David Vogel
Group poll for biz owner/ops
This is oversimplifying but curious to poll the group since we have so many members. For the sake of oversimplifying where do you currently find yourself? 1. You own/operate a business that you are trying to implement AI/ICM internally to improve your own business operations. 2. You own/operate a business/agency that you are trying to implement AI/ICM to improve business operations in someone else business. I realize there can be a blend of both, if you find yourself using it to improve your business internally which in turn improves your operations that helps other businesses externally, for the sake of the poll select option 2. Option 1 is purely those using this internally to their own business.

I'm definitely 1. I've got a small business in residential real estate. We basically buy houses that need a lot of love, renovate them and then sell or rent them. I've had to zoom out and look at all the various processes and workflow from start to finish in our business operation and figure out the best way to outline or overlay that with the ICM structure. This has resulting in a lot of workspace folders then figuring out the best way to make sure they route to/from each other when they depend on each other to further the process. We do everything internally, from data to marketing, lead management, acquisitions, etc.
Website migration
Small W but a W nonetheless. Had a website provider I’ve used for years $99/mo with boiler templates. Most people in my industry use it because it’s “optimized” for that industry. I never customized content other than the landing page with our brand and voice. Created a workspace for the website migration to take our brand and design from the old site. Did some SEO research so we could migrate and improve at the same time. New website setup $0/mo using GitHub and netlify. Saves me more than a VIP membership monthly! Stages inside the website workspace 1_SEO: researches a plan for website content 2_copy: writes copy based on seo plan 3_ux: checks ux flow of content with goal of form fill out being success 4_analytics: measure traffic and form fills to test success of SEO plans from research. Now to ditch the $200+/mo CRM *MCP friendly shell* Not building one from scratch

@Allan Durhuus the money saved is awesome but I’m more excited about the content production and analytics moving forward. I’m too busy to manage the website content myself but I can spare time to QC the output. Not trying to be #1 SEO in the nation just trying to be a step above the local competition.
