🚀 AIS+ at 6 Months: The ROI of Showing Up (Even at 3 AM India Time)

🔥

✨ Why I joined (and what changed):

My automation journey started with a failure (someone tried to automate my Google Reviews and… didn’t 😅). That push led me to n8n, Nate’s YouTube videos, the free community — and then Plus. Last week I spoke with Yash about this decision and realized: I didn’t just buy a course; I invested in a circle that keeps me accountable, curious, and moving.

🔥 What actually moved the needle for me:

Community > Tools: tools evolve, but relationships compound.
Consistency compounding: late-night India-time grind turned into a personal brand. 🌙
From “tech only” to “tech + business”: the One-Person AI Agency push flipped a switch for me.
Network as safety-net: confidence to take bolder client steps knowing AIS+ has my back. 💪
Cross-everything learning: from 12-year-old builders to 60+ pros, every call stretches perspective.

🎯 Moments that mattered:

Lurking → helping on threads → real collaborations.
Weekly catch-ups with
@Michael Wacht
sparked a small build.
A Notion MVP with Grace didn’t ship, but the lessons did.
Chill calls where one throwaway line saved me days.
Realizing I now ask better questions — half the game won.

💙 Gratitude (you know who you are):

First off,

@Apollo Martz

and

@Ednan Abdullayev

@Yash Chauhan

— the one who introduced me here and someone I now see as an integral pillar of AIS+. And

@Jon Morrow

— the man behind the curtain, who we don’t see much, but whose presence is felt in everything that runs smoothly.

Then there are the friendships that go beyond just posts and comments:

@Michael Wacht
