I'm grateful to spend my first birthday with this community ❤️ Thank you guys for helping me start my 2026 off right.

I just hit a major milestone, triggered by a contract I closed this week. And I’m within $4k of hitting my most ambitious quarterly revenue goal yet, cash collected. A year ago I was commuting into an office every day, working overtime just to clear $100k on my W2. I had a desk treadmill and got written up because people were complaining it was too loud in the open office. I literally ate my pounds of fruit in a corner away from everybody else. Since I’ve been studying Steve Jobs’ story, it sounds very similar to what happened to him at Pixar. 🤣 I was miserable. I had zero tech background when I decided to go all in on AI automation. I just got really passionate about it, learned everything I could, didn’t stop and now build enterprise level software for construction companies. The nos got bigger and they hurt more. When you genuinely click with a client, you know you can help them, and they say no… that one stings. You can’t scale back down once you’re bringing in higher-value clients. It’s just part of the transition. I have a conversation today with someone I first talked to back in August. He couldn’t quite see the value then. We’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re talking about Claude and how I’ve been using AI. That’s a long game, and it’s worth playing. My team is doing things I didn’t even think were possible in some of these platforms. Having people who are really good at what they do and actually enjoy the work has changed everything, including what I can charge. Next week I’m paying $300 to walk into a multifamily and commercial real estate summit in downtown LA. I pulled the attendee list. Presidents and owners of $40M+ development and construction companies. My exact customer. I got the tip from a potential client who literally taught me the construction industry years ago. He’s now a VP, he’s going to be at that event, and we may be working together. That’s what going all in looks like over time. Every quarter I’m basically doubling. I’m still up at 5:30 every morning. Still showing up the same way I did when I had nothing to show for it.

Hello everyone. I do believe that this is a pretty cool group. I started my first company at 18 years old. I thought I was the bees knees so I purchased enough equipment and marketing materials to run 5 crews of 3 painters each and thought I was going to make 200k in a summer. That did not happen. I ended up filing bankruptcy with 30+k in debt at 19. That's one story, I went on to start 22 other businesses including vending machines, escape rooms, moving companies, numerous MLM deals, you name it, I probably tried it. I ended up building and selling one moderately successful company and am now working on my next two. I love business, systems, and recurring income. I love lifting weights, the mountains, the water and most of all my wife and two kids. Everything I do is for them. Thanks for reading!

Just for fun cause it's Saturday... Would you guys rather have a business that requires 7days/week of your time and a minimum of 8 hours / day but you're making $50k / month OR A business that requires 4 hours / day 4 days / week and you make $20k / month? Tell me your answers in the comments and WHY! 👀
