TLDR: I offered a 1 hour AI for Seniors workshop to a few local Senior Living centers and one of them booked! It's not a huge pay day by any means, but it IS a foot in the door of the retirement community niche. -------------- I've been working with friends and chasing warm leads for what feels like forever. Last week when Fable first launched I was frustrated because as much as I feel like I'm trying, in reality I'm spinning my wheels. So I engaged Fable and told it to look through all my chats and tell me what I'm doing that's preventing me from moving the needle. Then make a step by step action plan for me to get things going. It did. Very astutely I might add, lol. And 24 hrs later I had one of those warm leads turned into a hot lead, which today became my first booked engagement. It's only $200 but in the VIP call over the weekend that was so generously shared with everyone Jake said something that spoke to that -- "if someone pays you—even something small—that’s proof there’s value in your time and a way to start learning through real work." (If you haven't watched it, go watch it, there are some really great bits in there!) This small booking will be something I can stand on to tell myself and anyone else that I can do this, because, in the words of Stewart Smalley, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog gonnit, people like me." 😁 Seriously though, this is so exciting for me. For those who are still struggling to move the needle, don't allow distractions to keep you from putting yourself out there. If you're not comfortable with a $3500 AI Readiness Audit as a first engagement, do something small and build up from there...but DO SOMETHING.

With very little experience a week ago, I created a project outline to brand out the cover images on Instagram profile grid. In less than 30 min, after going through the foundations i had it completed. Claude code executes with just two words and can make as many cover on demand as i wish and output them neatly as PNG files in a folder. Jake - super thanks! I learned so much in less than a week 🙏🙏🙏🙏 See before and after :)
