Coming back from my Japan trip, where I am processing about 1200 pages of notes, one question popped up right now and I want your feedfback. One root cause is this: There is "no one way of doing things (like how do we manage ourselves and manage others)". The mission and goal is clear but the change causes conflict.... thus we have one owner and one operator coming in to both have the same goal to improve the company. So what do we do -- this is a question I need help on. Now imagine this. You and I are both project managers. But when we start working, things get crossed or miscommunicated. What we agreed to happened, but then other people, who were following the other person, keep on doing things the old way. But we expect the other to “follow” and follow the rules of the other project managers’ way of doing things. How do we reconcile this? How do we determine who does what? Or areas of responsibilities? And then double check with the other to make sure that the split works? Rather than one feeling like they’re doing 100% vs 50% — is it easier or better to get a 3rd service/support/make something new so it helps get everything to be done faster, easier, done etc. The simpliest GRAFT/implementation is to just let the other managers work, and they just get drowned out of illrelevancy. The CEO not using AI vs n operator (us) joinining and out performing them by so much that they literally give up. But this is also in conflict of things that are non digital like "We should clean X room, or Decide on what Y time to do our company meeting, or Z we need to get rid things from task app A to task app B because of the whims of the CEO wanting to feel like their needs are met. This feels like stuff I'd ask for myself, but this pattern is what I see in other dysfunctional ceos and teams. Thoughts? plz

In Japan, they live and breathe Lean. Everything is uber fast -- not just the trains, not just the factories, but every small facet. Markets, street shops, and even traffic light professionals. I've recorded about 3000 videos that I'm editing on how to apply Lean in business and get the best of us to meet and cowork. So far I have ~ 4 people interested for a full and private and free cohort. Requirements 1) Get to 5+ Dual N Back 2) Complete the training in full workshop and complete the soon to be posted workbook 3) Build your own AI Operating Machine (aka your own private AI Waifu) that literally knows everything about you, your hopes, dresires, problems, and fantasies and helps you get and keep them Like I have said, this will take a few months. I have curated some resourfes, but as soon we turn on the engines, free public gates will close for good. (You cam still lurk, just can't interact and take our time to ask for help). Our income so far -- We have ough runway to run for anoher 3+ months. We've doubled in size each month since January, so I'm switching from "barter to cash" using the 100M Models. We have open roles, and positiond oprn, snf snouy 200+ buinedds owners I WISH I can refer others to but people haven't even started or made any progress on A, B, C. And expect a 100,000yr job to be handed to them+ control someone elses business baby w/o any training. New perspective. I'll eventually tour some Isreal or US based factories to see how they operate. But if you haven't read the books, commented, or hung out, or started working on uour own or others biz yet, you are behind and will be culled out of the group to make way for the people who do want to make sure they aren't part of the permanent underclass...

People are posting $1,000–$5,000 jobs on Upwork right now that AI can do in hours. Here's the playbook: Step 1: - Search "robotic process automation" on Upwork. - These are businesses paying real money for clunky, outdated automation. Step 2: - Grab the job description. - Paste all that context into Claude or OpenClaw. - Let it build you a working demo. Step 3: - Send the proposal with the demo attached. - You just skipped the line.

Last week, someone offered me $1,000 just to shadow their workflows for a day and point out where AI could save time. This was done over a call + just watching them. Here’s the model I’ve been running: Step 1: Sell an “AI Opportunity Audit” to small business owners. Step 2: Run a 45-minute deep-dive call to uncover bottlenecks, repetitive tasks, and workflow friction. Step 3: Record the call with Fathom (or any solid note-taker). Step 4: Drop the transcript into your LLM and prompt it to identify existing AI tools that directly address those pain points. Step 5: Use Gamma (or similar) to package the recommendations into a clean, executive-style report. Step 6: Book a 30-minute walkthrough to present the findings—and offer implementation support. I’ve completed 10+ of these audits in the past two months. Price point: $999 per deep dive assessment (that counts as a down payment for paying for my work to solve it) They're paying for the diagnostic for you to then solve the diagnostic. I used this to scale my SEO agency from $0 to $30k/mo, and its still relevant and easy to run. Typical time savings for the client? 6+ hours per week saved. ~$40/month in software costs. That’s a massive ROI -- without even looking at revenue. If you understand business workflows and know how to use AI tools, there’s real money on the table right now.

SO Hyped for the future. Onboarding people who can set this up. All on a $20/mo claude code subscription and a good-enough laptop to develop and play with. Book a call if you haven't.
