A few weeks ago, I met Salim. He runs a garment sourcing business, connecting factories in Bangladesh with buyers across Europe. Great guy, solid product, but he was struggling hard with outreach. No system, no automation, just manual hustle and missed opportunities. So I built him a full-stack engine: lead generation, personalized email campaigns, appointment booking, and even an AI voice agent that cold calls and qualifies leads. I handled the whole funnel...from scraping to scheduling to CRM tagging. He paid me $3,500 for the build. But here’s where it got interesting. Instead of just maintaining the system, I pitched him a bigger play. I told him: “Let me handle the outreach, the meetings, the closing..and you share 30% of the profit from every deal that comes through this machine.” He said yes. Now I’m not just the tech guy..I’m the closer, the strategist, and the growth partner. Every time a buyer places an order, I get a cut. And I manage the entire pipeline like it’s my own business. This isn’t just a win...it’s leverage. From workflow to revenue share. From one-time fee to recurring upside. If you’re building systems for clients, don’t stop at delivery. Think bigger. Own the outcome. Let's go....

Reading books is one of the biggest unfair advantages of life. I mean, think about it. Someone spends years researching, struggling, learning, and you get all that knowledge in just 10 to 12 hours of your time reading. It's a cheat code to get more successful in life. But there's actually a problem with it. Most of the books have repeated knowledge. The same information being packaged in multiple different ways, and this wastes a lot of your time. So to solve this issue, I've handpicked 44 best books that I've read in my life across multiple domains like: Business Self-help Storytelling Psychology AI Tech And so much more. One of these books literally made Steve Jobs cry. I've also added some of the best fiction books because I believe fiction is usually deeper. And they share the best life advice in the form of stories. So instead of wasting years of your life searching for the best books on the internet, check out here and access the list of 44 books. And remember, you don't need motivation. You need a direction. And the right book at the right time.

After building automation systems for clients and seeing the same issues pop up repeatedly, here are the biggest traps new n8n users fall into: No error handling whatsoever Beginners build workflows that work perfectly in testing, then break in production when APIs return unexpected responses. Always add error handling nodes and test failure scenarios. 2. Treating everything like a straight line New users create these massive linear workflows instead of breaking them into smaller, reusable components. Use sub-workflows and modules - your future self will thank you. 3. Ignoring webhook security Just because n8n generates a webhook URL doesn’t mean it’s secure. Add authentication, validate payloads, and don’t trust incoming data blindly. 4. Over-engineering simple tasks Saw someone build a 15-node workflow to format a date. Sometimes a simple JavaScript expression is all you need. 5. Not testing with real data volumes Testing with 5 records is different from processing 500. Always test at scale before going live. 6. Hardcoding everything Put your API keys, URLs, and configuration in environment variables or credentials. Makes debugging and deployment way easier. What mistakes have you seen (or made yourself)?

Built a workflow that scrapes Google Maps for business listings, extracts their websites, scrapes those sites for emails, and exports everything to Google Sheets. No APIs, no browser automation...just clean, scalable scraping logic. It loops through each site with built-in delays to avoid IP blocks, uses regex to extract emails, filters out empty results, and deduplicates everything before pushing to Sheets. Works great for local lead gen,real estate, dental, legal, home services, etc. I’ve built 500+ workflows and helped 400+ businesses streamline ops and lead systems. Sharing this one for free ,full JSON included. If you’re building something similar or want to customize it for your niche, feel free to reach out. Happy to help.

I’ve built over 500 automation workflows across a wide range of industries...eCommerce, finance, creative agencies, and local businesses. Right now, I’m actively supporting 400+ businesses, both online and offline, helping them streamline operations, simplify data flows, and integrate AI into their day-to-day systems. Recently, I built a workflow called Jobs-In-Your-Inbox. It’s designed to automate job discovery and match opportunities to your profile using AI. If you’ve ever spent hours scrolling through listings that don’t fit, this solves that. Here’s what it does: - Pulls job listings from multiple remote job boards: Himalayas, Remotive, WeWorkRemotely, JobIcy, SmartRemoteJobs. - Filters by date and designation (e.g., writer, SEO, content editor, marketing). - Stores and cleans the data in Google Sheets. - Uses an AI agent to compare each job description with your resume and score the match. - Provides a short recommendation (perfect fit, overqualified, underqualified). - Sends the top 3 matches to your inbox daily in a clean format. The entire system runs on n8n. I’ve structured the JSON to be modular and easy to adapt..whether you want to change job boards, tweak filters, or plug in your own AI agent. I’m sharing the full JSON file for free. No strings attached. If you’re exploring automation, building AI workflows, or just want to see how structured systems can solve real problems, feel free to check it out. And if you need help customizing it or understanding how it works, just reach out...I’ll try to help you out.
