Closed 4 clients at one event and I signed a parntership with a big company super excited and have some zooms this week coming.

Not because it was bad. Because it simply didn't fit the way you work. I think we're at a point where there are new AI tools launching almost every day. Some genuinely improve how we build. Others are exciting for a week... then quietly disappear from our workflow. For me, the biggest difference isn't whether a tool is "the best." It's whether it consistently helps solve real problems. I'm interested to hear from people actually building things. What's one AI tool you tried, thought would become part of your daily workflow, but eventually stopped using? And what made you move away from it?

Just wrapped a demo I've been looking forward to for weeks. Over the past couple of months I've been building an automation system for a small clothing retailer that takes the most tedious part of their week, manually typing vendor invoices into product spreadsheets line by line, and turns it into something that takes minutes instead of hours. The idea is simple even if the plumbing underneath isn't. Snap a photo of an invoice or drop in a PDF, and the system reads it, applies the store's own rules for how products get categorized and labeled, and hands back a clean, ready-to-upload file. No more squinting at line items, no more retyping the same product three different ways, no more hunting down errors after they've already made it into the system. We were able to align on cost and next steps forward as well. The agreed upon price is in line with the recommended value of a custom GPT. I’ll finish celebrating once payment is received, but I’m thankful we aligned on everything. Grateful for clients willing to try something new, and even more grateful when the vision and the numbers line up the way they did today. On to the next phase!

Hey everyone 👋 I want to make sure you’re truly using what’s inside the Classroom here on Skool — because it isn’t just theoretical content. It’s the proven starting point for building an AI service business in 2026, based on everything I've learned scaling my own 7-figure AI agency. When I first launched my business back in 2022, I was figuring things out in the dark — long days, trial and error, and a lot of mistakes before the real patterns finally emerged. Since then, I’ve worked with 7, 8, and 9-figure clients, helped thousands of people start AI agencies, and studied what separates the people who succeed from the ones who stall. And now the data is clear: There are TWO proven paths people are using to break into AI. All you have to do is choose the path that fits how you think and work. That’s why the very first thing you should do here is go to the Start Here module inside the Classroom. Inside it, you’ll find: - A clear breakdown of the two proven paths - Clarity on how to pick the one that fits you best - Then you'll find your playbook to land your first paid client fast Everything I wish I had when I started — the frameworks, playbooks, lessons, and action plans — is inside this Classroom. And I continue to update it based on what’s working right now. It’s all here for you, step by step. Don’t let this sit in your dashboard like another course. This is the stuff I lived to be where I am right now.

I’m a sleep technologist that works night shift and I asked Chat GPT what would be the best path to learning, during my downtime at work, on how to replace my income. It said that the AAA model was the #1 way. I looked on YouTube to learn about it and started Liam’s 6 hour master class and heard about the Free Skool group…and here I am. I’m a complete beginner. No sales experience or business experience. I’m 57 years old and would really like to retire in 3 years. Looking forward to seeing if this is the path toward retirement!
