I've released another powerful lever for my business. I've curated a board of directors comprised of powerful leaders aligned to my business. I'll hold my first board meeting in January to set the tone for the year. My clone is becoming a business partner and strategist. This is amazingly cool!!

People gaining an edge in 2026 won’t be adding more tools. They’ll be subtracting steps. Here’s what I see changing: 1️⃣ Voice replaces typing Typing is a bottleneck. Voice + transcription lets people think and produce in real time instead of slowing ideas down. 2️⃣ One AI chat replaces most apps Email, docs, calendars, research — instead of juggling tools, work collapses into a single interface that pulls from everything. 3️⃣ Building software becomes normal Non-technical people are already creating small internal tools on demand instead of buying bloated SaaS or waiting on devs. 4️⃣ AI services shift from “building” to “guiding” Businesses aren’t just buying automations. They’re paying for audits, training, and rollout decisions. 5️⃣ AI starts acting, not assisting Research, booking, comparisons, and follow-through get delegated — not manually handled

Automation is a force multiplier. That’s the point.. and also the risk. If you’re building or buying content automation templates (Make/n8n), here are the 5 things I’d want true before calling it “ready”: - Small blast radius first: Start where failure is annoying, not brand-damaging (drafts, internal review queues, idea generation). - “Good enough” is defined: Not “write great content” — but constraints like: tone rules, banned claims, citation/asset source, max posts/day. - Human-in-the-loop by default: Auto-generate → queue → approve.Full auto-posting should be an optional mode, not the default. - Logs + replay: If it posts something wrong, you need to know: what input triggered it, what prompt/version ran, and what it output. - Kill switch in under 60 seconds: A single toggle to pause posting + stop downstream actions (especially if an API returns garbage). If a template nails these, it’s not just “cool” — it’s actually usable by real people. Curious: what’s the #1 failure mode you’ve seen with content automations: bad captions, wrong assets, or timing/duplicates?

Use this ChatGPT prompt to help you eliminate noise & distractions, so you can focus on what's most important to achieving your goal: “I’m stuck at the starting line. Based on everything you know about me… acting as my brutally honest entrepreneur coach, ask me questions one at a time, until you can successfully diagnose the ONE mindset block most likely holding me back. Then reframe it. Finally, compress my 90-day plan into a 2-week 'proof sprint' that proves I can succeed and helps me create a bias for action.” 🚀🚀
