Episode Quote
"Boring beats brilliant when it comes to building wealth. While everyone else is chasing the latest AI agent or complex chatbot, you're going to focus on simple, linear workflows that solve obvious problems for obvious money."
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,495
Picture this, it's 8:47 PM
Your kids are finally asleep.
2
00:00:03,495 --> 00:00:07,095
You have exactly 90 minutes before
you collapse into the bed yourself.
3
00:00:07,095 --> 00:00:10,043
I've mentioned this before, but what
if I've told you that those 90 minutes
4
00:00:10,226 --> 00:00:11,634
could be worth about 1500 bucks?
5
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:16,604
Not once, not twice, but every
single time that you sit down at your
6
00:00:16,604 --> 00:00:20,073
laptop, you see, while most parents
are out there scrolling Netflix or
7
00:00:20,073 --> 00:00:23,360
doom scrolling social media, there's
a quiet revolution that's happening.
8
00:00:23,413 --> 00:00:25,082
Parents are building automation empires.
9
00:00:25,930 --> 00:00:29,895
During nap time during bedtime,
they're simply selling AI workflows
10
00:00:29,895 --> 00:00:34,408
to small businesses that pay
them from 1500 to $5,000 a pop.
11
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:36,313
And that's not even the crazy part.
12
00:00:36,443 --> 00:00:39,626
These aren't complex AI
agents or flashy chatbots.
13
00:00:40,121 --> 00:00:40,800
They're boring.
14
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:42,156
They're unsexy.
15
00:00:42,513 --> 00:00:44,834
They're still absolutely printing money.
16
00:00:44,991 --> 00:00:47,600
Stay with me because what you're
about to learn will change how
17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,617
you think about those precious
evening hours that you have forever.
18
00:00:56,043 --> 00:00:56,513
What is up?
19
00:00:56,513 --> 00:00:56,930
What is up?
20
00:00:56,930 --> 00:00:58,000
What the hell is up?
21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,121
My dark horse, friends and family.
22
00:00:59,121 --> 00:01:02,304
Welcome back to another episode of
the Dark Horse Entrepreneur AI Escape
23
00:01:02,304 --> 00:01:06,269
Plan, where we break free from the
grind and share some AI powered tips
24
00:01:06,269 --> 00:01:09,921
and side hustle strategies and support
parents chasing freedom like the
25
00:01:09,921 --> 00:01:11,773
modern day trailblazers that they are.
26
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:15,426
And if you know someone did that dreams
of ditching the grind, but still makes
27
00:01:15,426 --> 00:01:19,156
time for some bedtime stories and
soccer practices and cheer practices.
28
00:01:19,508 --> 00:01:20,813
Fancy pancakes in the morning.
29
00:01:20,943 --> 00:01:22,586
You might wanna go ahead and
forward this episode to them.
30
00:01:22,873 --> 00:01:26,995
Okay, so lemme break down what we're
gonna talk about today First, why
31
00:01:26,995 --> 00:01:30,960
boring AI automations are the secret
weapons that you parents have been
32
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,213
sleeping on while everyone else is out
there chasing those AI shiny objects.
33
00:01:35,473 --> 00:01:39,334
Second, I'm gonna give you the exact
five simple systems that one automation
34
00:01:39,334 --> 00:01:43,117
expert used to scale to $72,000.
35
00:01:43,643 --> 00:01:44,634
Per month.
36
00:01:44,713 --> 00:01:47,817
Let that sink in for a moment and
I'm, I'm also gonna share with you
37
00:01:47,817 --> 00:01:50,739
why I think they're perfect for
you and your parents' schedules.
38
00:01:50,739 --> 00:01:53,556
And then third, we're gonna talk
about how to package these systems for
39
00:01:53,556 --> 00:01:58,069
small businesses in your area who are
already drowning in manual tasks and
40
00:01:58,069 --> 00:02:01,982
are gonna be willing to pay premium
prices for the relief that they bring.
41
00:02:02,086 --> 00:02:04,904
Okay, so here's what
no one is telling you.
42
00:02:04,904 --> 00:02:06,678
And I wanted to, which is
probably why you're here.
43
00:02:06,678 --> 00:02:07,930
It's 'cause I'm willing to tell you.
44
00:02:08,543 --> 00:02:11,204
About the art, AI automation,
gold rush parents.
45
00:02:11,856 --> 00:02:12,326
Are winning.
46
00:02:13,265 --> 00:02:13,421
Yeah.
47
00:02:13,604 --> 00:02:13,891
Right.
48
00:02:13,917 --> 00:02:16,682
It's not just all those 25-year-old
tech bros out there that are
49
00:02:16,682 --> 00:02:18,039
willing to work 80 hour weeks.
50
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:18,352
No.
51
00:02:18,665 --> 00:02:21,378
And not even those venture backed
startups that are burning through
52
00:02:21,378 --> 00:02:25,082
millions of dollars in cash
with their complex AI agents.
53
00:02:25,082 --> 00:02:25,865
No, no, no.
54
00:02:25,969 --> 00:02:30,269
It's my loving parents out there,
the ones that only have 30,
55
00:02:30,269 --> 00:02:32,486
60, 90 minutes between bedtime.
56
00:02:33,104 --> 00:02:36,600
Collapse because they are the
ones that everyone thinks are too
57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,530
busy to build anything meaningful.
58
00:02:38,713 --> 00:02:42,417
Meanwhile, they're quietly building
automation empires while everyone
59
00:02:42,417 --> 00:02:46,017
else keeps going out there and
chasing all the AI shiny objects.
60
00:02:46,017 --> 00:02:46,356
So.
61
00:02:46,552 --> 00:02:47,230
Bear with me here.
62
00:02:47,256 --> 00:02:48,143
I want you to picture this.
63
00:02:48,143 --> 00:02:52,030
It's 8:15 PM your kids, they're
finally asleep and you have, like
64
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:56,413
I mentioned earlier, maybe 30,
60 maximum, 90 minutes before.
65
00:02:56,413 --> 00:02:59,517
You need to go up there, put
your your own head on the pillow.
66
00:02:59,726 --> 00:03:02,100
But instead of reaching for the
remote, I want you to imagine cracking
67
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:06,065
open your laptop and you navigate
to a platform called make.com or N
68
00:03:06,065 --> 00:03:07,369
eight N, whichever one you prefer.
69
00:03:07,578 --> 00:03:09,795
This automation platform,
you've probably heard about it.
70
00:03:10,021 --> 00:03:13,230
Your heart's beating a little faster
because you're not quite sure what it
71
00:03:13,230 --> 00:03:17,326
is you're doing, but you do know you
are sick and tired of feeling stuck.
72
00:03:17,378 --> 00:03:20,821
You start with, uh, something
simple, an email categorization
73
00:03:20,821 --> 00:03:21,734
system, nothing fancy.
74
00:03:22,047 --> 00:03:25,595
Just something that sorts through the
incoming emails automatically instead
75
00:03:25,595 --> 00:03:28,739
of letting them pile up in an, into
an inbox like digital quicksand.
76
00:03:29,169 --> 00:03:33,213
Now picture yourself falling along
with the tutorial, connecting Gmail.
77
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:36,134
With this platform, it takes you
maybe 20 minutes to figure this
78
00:03:36,134 --> 00:03:37,908
out, including the login process.
79
00:03:38,013 --> 00:03:40,491
You're thinking, oh my God,
maybe I'm not cut out for this.
80
00:03:40,543 --> 00:03:44,195
But then somewhere along the way,
something clicks and you see that
81
00:03:44,195 --> 00:03:47,430
first email get automatically
sorted into the right folder.
82
00:03:47,534 --> 00:03:48,160
Wow.
83
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:49,256
It's pretty exciting.
84
00:03:49,543 --> 00:03:50,143
It's working.
85
00:03:50,352 --> 00:03:51,291
You built something.
86
00:03:51,521 --> 00:03:52,773
That actually works.
87
00:03:52,904 --> 00:03:53,139
Yeah.
88
00:03:53,426 --> 00:03:57,573
Now imagine it's next week and
you're at your kids' soccer game and
89
00:03:57,573 --> 00:03:58,539
you're talking to another parent.
90
00:03:58,539 --> 00:04:01,173
Let's say they run a small business
and they're complaining about
91
00:04:01,173 --> 00:04:02,921
how they are drowning in emails.
92
00:04:02,921 --> 00:04:07,356
Maybe they're spending two hours every
morning, maybe even just an hour every
93
00:04:07,356 --> 00:04:11,404
morning, just sorting through all the
digital chaos in their email inbox.
94
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,339
You just happen to mention what it is you
build and you see their eyes light up.
95
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:16,878
Wait, you can do that.
96
00:04:17,034 --> 00:04:19,800
Can you maybe build something
like that for my business?
97
00:04:19,878 --> 00:04:20,217
Yeah.
98
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:21,443
See, and that's how it happens.
99
00:04:21,573 --> 00:04:24,547
So now I want you to picture yourself
saying, yeah, sure I can do that.
100
00:04:25,043 --> 00:04:28,800
Even though your palms are probably
quite sweaty and you can feel your
101
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800
pulse like quickening, but instead.
102
00:04:32,208 --> 00:04:36,356
You go home that night and you spend
maybe another 30, 60, or 90 minutes
103
00:04:36,460 --> 00:04:39,617
adapting to the system that you
already created for their business.
104
00:04:39,747 --> 00:04:44,286
Again, we're not talking about anything
complex here, just the same EL sorting
105
00:04:44,286 --> 00:04:46,608
workflow, customize for their needs.
106
00:04:46,660 --> 00:04:49,660
Now, imagine walking into their
office the following week with your
107
00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:51,408
laptop in hand, and you show them.
108
00:04:51,630 --> 00:04:53,560
The entire system running smoothly.
109
00:04:53,795 --> 00:04:56,378
Emails flowing in, getting
categorized automatically.
110
00:04:56,456 --> 00:04:58,726
Sponsorship requests go
over here into one folder.
111
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:01,647
Customer inquiries go into a
different folder in invoices.
112
00:05:01,647 --> 00:05:03,578
Go into another one in
receipts, go into another one.
113
00:05:03,578 --> 00:05:04,752
All perfectly sorted.
114
00:05:04,986 --> 00:05:06,473
They watch for about 30 seconds.
115
00:05:06,578 --> 00:05:07,308
And what do they do?
116
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,113
Yeah, they pull out their
checkbook, bam, 1500 bucks.
117
00:05:11,113 --> 00:05:11,765
Write their own spot.
118
00:05:12,052 --> 00:05:12,704
Now, that's one option.
119
00:05:12,704 --> 00:05:15,234
Of course, you could charge them
monthly for it and do monthly upgrades
120
00:05:15,234 --> 00:05:19,173
and picture that moment right there,
the weight of that check in your hand.
121
00:05:19,173 --> 00:05:24,573
Now, mind you, a check doesn't weigh
a whole lot, but imagine the heft that
122
00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:26,947
it would feel $1,500 in your hand.
123
00:05:27,443 --> 00:05:30,678
For that short period of time of work,
the realization that you just got
124
00:05:30,678 --> 00:05:35,217
paid more for 90 minutes of work than
most people make in an entire week.
125
00:05:35,321 --> 00:05:36,965
Go ahead, let that sink in.
126
00:05:37,226 --> 00:05:40,956
Now, imagine this, that business
owner mentions your system to
127
00:05:40,956 --> 00:05:42,052
someone in their networking group.
128
00:05:42,156 --> 00:05:45,000
All of a sudden, three more
business owners might want the same
129
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,773
thing, same system, same price.
130
00:05:46,852 --> 00:05:47,086
Yeah.
131
00:05:47,426 --> 00:05:51,626
You're looking at $6,000 in revenue from
one simple automation that you built.
132
00:05:51,991 --> 00:05:53,034
During bedtime hours.
133
00:05:53,608 --> 00:05:55,252
Here's the thing, that's not fantasy.
134
00:05:55,278 --> 00:05:58,173
That is actually something that
happened to an automation expert.
135
00:05:58,173 --> 00:06:02,530
I learned these systems from, he
scaled this approach to $72,000.
136
00:06:03,169 --> 00:06:04,786
Per month, not a year.
137
00:06:04,891 --> 00:06:05,439
A month.
138
00:06:05,569 --> 00:06:07,343
Now mind you, he's been doing
this a little bit longer and got a
139
00:06:07,343 --> 00:06:10,134
little more, you know, vested and
got a little more skin in the game,
140
00:06:10,343 --> 00:06:14,413
but they're still the same boring
workflows, the same simple approach.
141
00:06:14,647 --> 00:06:19,030
The only difference between his story and
yours is he started and he kept going.
142
00:06:19,282 --> 00:06:20,873
All right, so let's get
to the mean of this.
143
00:06:20,873 --> 00:06:25,334
Shall we gonna walk you through the exact
five systems that are making some parents
144
00:06:25,334 --> 00:06:26,639
out there, some pretty serious money.
145
00:06:26,795 --> 00:06:29,769
These come straight from the
automation expert who scaled to
146
00:06:29,769 --> 00:06:33,943
that $72,000 per month selling these
workflows that I mentioned earlier.
147
00:06:34,126 --> 00:06:35,143
And here's the beautiful part.
148
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,526
Every single one of these can be built
during your evening hours while your kids
149
00:06:39,526 --> 00:06:41,847
are occupied doing other things or asleep.
150
00:06:41,978 --> 00:06:44,534
The first system is what
I'm gonna call the search.
151
00:06:44,821 --> 00:06:46,073
Intent scraper.
152
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:49,726
This one sells for like
1500 bucks to $3,000.
153
00:06:49,726 --> 00:06:53,117
And, and again, I'm gonna mention
some prices in here, but you could
154
00:06:53,117 --> 00:06:56,273
go to these business owners and
give them a much lower price and
155
00:06:56,273 --> 00:06:57,917
charge them a monthly recurring fee.
156
00:06:58,152 --> 00:06:58,830
Think about that.
157
00:06:59,091 --> 00:07:01,804
That way you work once and
get paid many times over.
158
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:02,117
Okay?
159
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:03,108
And here's what it does.
160
00:07:03,265 --> 00:07:07,439
It automatically finds companies that
are hiring for specific positions.
161
00:07:07,491 --> 00:07:11,273
Goes out, scrapes their information,
hunts down to decision makers at
162
00:07:11,273 --> 00:07:14,769
most companies, and then adds them
to an automatic cold email sequence.
163
00:07:14,795 --> 00:07:15,891
Now I know what you're thinking.
164
00:07:15,891 --> 00:07:17,404
This sounds complicated, but stay with me.
165
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,247
You could build this entire
system in about 90 minutes
166
00:07:20,247 --> 00:07:21,891
with an eight and or make.com.
167
00:07:22,421 --> 00:07:24,926
A service called Appify, A-P-I-F-Y.
168
00:07:25,213 --> 00:07:26,726
And here's, and here's how it works.
169
00:07:26,804 --> 00:07:29,465
You feed it, uh, a
LinkedIn job posting URL.
170
00:07:29,465 --> 00:07:32,934
Let's say a company is looking for
a sales development representative.
171
00:07:33,221 --> 00:07:36,143
The system goes out and finds
every company posting that type
172
00:07:36,143 --> 00:07:39,978
of job, grabs their website, their
contact information, even researches
173
00:07:39,978 --> 00:07:41,360
the SEO for the hiring manager.
174
00:07:41,413 --> 00:07:45,013
Then it crafts personalized
outreach emails using ai.
175
00:07:45,447 --> 00:07:46,360
Sends them automatically.
176
00:07:46,569 --> 00:07:46,960
Okay.
177
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,317
That sounds cool, Tracy.
178
00:07:48,317 --> 00:07:50,013
But who would buy something like this?
179
00:07:50,065 --> 00:07:54,760
Well, recruiting agencies, sales
consultants, anyone doing B2B outreach.
180
00:07:54,865 --> 00:07:56,978
Why would they pay premium
prices for something like this?
181
00:07:57,082 --> 00:08:01,830
Because this system saves them 10 plus
hours of manual research every single.
182
00:08:03,334 --> 00:08:03,830
Do the math.
183
00:08:04,065 --> 00:08:07,065
That's 10 hours they could spend with
their families or 10 hours they could
184
00:08:07,065 --> 00:08:11,969
spend growing their business instead of
manually grinding away through all those
185
00:08:12,256 --> 00:08:14,421
LinkedIn profiles and websites out there.
186
00:08:14,552 --> 00:08:14,786
Yeah.
187
00:08:14,969 --> 00:08:15,230
Okay.
188
00:08:15,465 --> 00:08:18,673
Now the second system, this is
the podcast repurposing engine.
189
00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:21,830
Review your ears just perked up because
I know some of my podcasting friends
190
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:23,865
do listen to this podcast itself.
191
00:08:23,943 --> 00:08:28,508
This one commands, I don't know, two
to $4,000 because it solves a massive
192
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,413
problem for my content creators out there.
193
00:08:30,621 --> 00:08:33,960
You give it any podcast,
URL, and it automatically
194
00:08:34,195 --> 00:08:35,682
transcribes the entire episode.
195
00:08:36,021 --> 00:08:40,691
Tracks the 10 most interesting points,
and then generates social media content
196
00:08:40,691 --> 00:08:43,065
for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
197
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:43,482
Yeah.
198
00:08:43,586 --> 00:08:47,447
Picture this, a business coach records
a one hour long podcast episode.
199
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:50,395
Normally, they need to hire
someone to create the social
200
00:08:50,395 --> 00:08:53,839
media posts for that content or
spend hours doing it themselves.
201
00:08:54,208 --> 00:08:54,417
Right.
202
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:57,678
Going on a podcast is a great way
to create content, but with this
203
00:08:57,678 --> 00:09:03,104
system, they could then paste the
podcast URL and boom, get 30 social
204
00:09:03,104 --> 00:09:04,747
media posts ready to rock and roll.
205
00:09:04,982 --> 00:09:06,913
Different formats, different platforms.
206
00:09:07,060 --> 00:09:08,417
All for the different platforms, right?
207
00:09:08,443 --> 00:09:10,139
Instagram gets its visual posts.
208
00:09:10,243 --> 00:09:13,086
LinkedIn gets its professional
angle, and Facebook get, it gets
209
00:09:13,086 --> 00:09:14,939
its community focused content.
210
00:09:15,173 --> 00:09:18,382
You could build this in about two
hours during a weekend nap time
211
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:19,921
or while you're watching the kids.
212
00:09:20,104 --> 00:09:24,252
The system will use AI to identify
the most engaging moments from that
213
00:09:24,252 --> 00:09:28,817
podcast, create the custom graphics for
each post, and even schedule them to go
214
00:09:28,817 --> 00:09:30,173
out over the course of the next month.
215
00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:35,365
Content creators out there, or frequent
podcast guests will pay thousands
216
00:09:35,365 --> 00:09:39,591
of dollars for this because it turns
one piece of content into a month's
217
00:09:39,591 --> 00:09:41,521
worth of social media advertising.
218
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:42,721
Yeah, right.
219
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,008
Okay.
220
00:09:43,139 --> 00:09:46,269
And if you don't think people will pay
for this, go ahead and go to a place like
221
00:09:46,373 --> 00:09:49,973
Pod Match and see how many people are on
there looking to be guests or are frequent
222
00:09:49,973 --> 00:09:52,895
guests on podcasts across the planet.
223
00:09:52,921 --> 00:09:53,730
Okay, now.
224
00:09:54,534 --> 00:09:59,204
The, the third system here is what I
call the invoice follow up automator.
225
00:09:59,334 --> 00:10:03,795
Now, this might be the most boring
system on this list, but it's
226
00:10:03,795 --> 00:10:05,517
also one of the most profitable.
227
00:10:05,595 --> 00:10:10,917
It sells for 1500 to 2,500 bucks
and every B2B business that is
228
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,769
out there needs this system.
229
00:10:12,926 --> 00:10:13,552
And here's what it does.
230
00:10:13,734 --> 00:10:17,100
It automatically follows up
on any overdue invoices with
231
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,873
personalized emails at seven.
232
00:10:19,239 --> 00:10:23,804
14, 21 and 28 day intervals, you
connected to their payment processor,
233
00:10:23,986 --> 00:10:27,143
Stripe, QuickBooks, whatever it is
they're using, and it watches for
234
00:10:27,143 --> 00:10:29,230
invoices that have not been paid.
235
00:10:29,282 --> 00:10:32,830
When an invoice hits that seven day
overdue, it sends a play follow up.
236
00:10:33,117 --> 00:10:36,534
14 days, it sends a slightly
more urgent message, 21 days.
237
00:10:36,534 --> 00:10:39,273
Now the message starts to
get serious at 28 days.
238
00:10:39,404 --> 00:10:40,969
It's time for a phone call, right?
239
00:10:41,204 --> 00:10:44,308
You could build this in about
60 minutes, and here's why.
240
00:10:44,308 --> 00:10:47,856
Business owners will write you a
check for this right off the bat.
241
00:10:48,143 --> 00:10:49,526
Most businesses have.
242
00:10:49,595 --> 00:10:54,004
Thousands of dollars tied up in unpaid
receivables and unpaid invoices.
243
00:10:54,134 --> 00:10:58,465
This system begins to recover
that money automatically, right?
244
00:10:58,465 --> 00:11:02,482
I've seen businesses collect $5,000 in
overdue payments within the first week
245
00:11:02,482 --> 00:11:04,100
of implementing a system like this.
246
00:11:04,308 --> 00:11:08,065
When you can show someone
how to recover $5,000, paying
247
00:11:08,065 --> 00:11:09,891
you 1500 bucks is a complete.
248
00:11:10,404 --> 00:11:11,134
Brainer, right?
249
00:11:11,343 --> 00:11:14,030
And again, if you turn this into a
recurring revenue, say, Hey, I'll
250
00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:15,726
just charge you two 50 a month for it.
251
00:11:16,617 --> 00:11:18,260
Then it becomes a real no brainer.
252
00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:20,060
They're gonna get 5,000 for 250.
253
00:11:20,191 --> 00:11:21,678
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
254
00:11:21,808 --> 00:11:25,591
Okay, the fourth system is the
content research generator.
255
00:11:25,695 --> 00:11:29,869
This one can sell for about 2,500 bucks
to 5,000 bucks a month because it replaces
256
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,721
expensive content writers with smart
automation, you give it a keyword, let's
257
00:11:34,721 --> 00:11:39,182
say something like Scotland cabins, and
it begins to research competitor content.
258
00:11:39,573 --> 00:11:41,895
Builds comprehensive
outlines and it writes.
259
00:11:41,973 --> 00:11:47,060
Each section generates custom images and
then creates publication ready articles.
260
00:11:47,243 --> 00:11:47,973
Here's the process.
261
00:11:48,078 --> 00:11:51,260
The system searches the internet
for high ranking articles about
262
00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:52,252
the keyword that you give it.
263
00:11:52,434 --> 00:11:56,060
It analyzes the structure,
extracts the best ideas, and
264
00:11:56,060 --> 00:11:57,965
creates an even better outline.
265
00:11:58,186 --> 00:12:03,743
Then it writes each section individually
generates relevant images for each one
266
00:12:03,743 --> 00:12:07,369
of those sections, and then formats
everything into a professional article
267
00:12:07,552 --> 00:12:09,143
that's completely ready for publication.
268
00:12:09,404 --> 00:12:13,578
Yeah, marketing agencies love this
because they can charge clients
269
00:12:13,786 --> 00:12:16,034
800 to 1500 bucks per article.
270
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:20,530
Their cost is now just the AI usage,
maybe, I don't know, 10 bucks.
271
00:12:20,608 --> 00:12:25,121
You could build this system in a couple
hours and let it run completely automated.
272
00:12:25,408 --> 00:12:29,895
The agency just feeds in the keywords
and gets back publication ready Content.
273
00:12:30,252 --> 00:12:33,695
And the fifth and final system is
the email categorization system.
274
00:12:33,695 --> 00:12:37,426
This one is the simplest one to
build and explain, which makes
275
00:12:37,426 --> 00:12:40,452
it perfect for getting your foot
in the door with new clients.
276
00:12:40,504 --> 00:12:42,486
It sells for 1200 to 2000 bucks.
277
00:12:42,565 --> 00:12:45,956
Free business owner out there,
as I mentioned before, he is
278
00:12:45,956 --> 00:12:47,208
probably drowning in email.
279
00:12:47,286 --> 00:12:49,686
This system watches
their inbox automatically
280
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,195
categorizes every email that.
281
00:12:51,921 --> 00:12:55,730
As it comes in, marks them
appropriately, appropriately, and
282
00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:57,243
moves them to the right folders.
283
00:12:57,321 --> 00:13:01,495
Sponsorship requests go to one folder,
customer inquires to another, invoices
284
00:13:01,495 --> 00:13:04,600
to another, receipts to another,
all getting sorted automatically.
285
00:13:04,834 --> 00:13:08,682
You can build this in about 45
minutes using open AI and make.com.
286
00:13:08,852 --> 00:13:11,095
The business owner just
has to tell you what.
287
00:13:11,152 --> 00:13:11,804
Categories.
288
00:13:11,804 --> 00:13:15,613
They want urgent and follow up needed
and invoices and spam, et cetera,
289
00:13:15,613 --> 00:13:17,256
whatever it might be for a podcaster.
290
00:13:17,439 --> 00:13:20,282
They certainly are gonna want,
you know, a podcast pitches sent
291
00:13:20,282 --> 00:13:24,352
and podcast pitches received, and
sponsorships approved and sponsorships
292
00:13:24,352 --> 00:13:25,734
come, and all those kind of things.
293
00:13:25,943 --> 00:13:26,778
And AI reads.
294
00:13:27,195 --> 00:13:29,334
Each email and then sorts it accordingly.
295
00:13:29,465 --> 00:13:33,300
Why would they pay $2,000 for
something so damn simple, Tracy?
296
00:13:33,352 --> 00:13:37,473
Well, I'm glad you asked because like
all the others, all the other processes
297
00:13:37,473 --> 00:13:41,152
I've outlined here, it saves them
one to two hours every single day.
298
00:13:41,417 --> 00:13:43,843
That's five to 10 hours a
week that they would get back.
299
00:13:44,026 --> 00:13:47,808
For a business owner billing, 200
bucks an hour, that system pays
300
00:13:47,808 --> 00:13:49,478
for itself in the first week.
301
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:50,834
Go ahead and let that sink in.
302
00:13:51,069 --> 00:13:54,486
You are giving them their time
back and there is an amazing
303
00:13:54,486 --> 00:13:55,556
price that comes with that.
304
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:59,026
Now, here's the beautiful part about
all of all five of these systems.
305
00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:02,443
They're not complex AI agents
that have connections that
306
00:14:02,443 --> 00:14:03,643
would break down constantly.
307
00:14:03,930 --> 00:14:04,378
They are simple.
308
00:14:04,878 --> 00:14:07,330
Linear workflows that just work.
309
00:14:07,460 --> 00:14:11,347
You build them once and they run
forever, and every single one can be
310
00:14:11,347 --> 00:14:15,991
constructed in those precious evening
hours when your house is finally quiet.
311
00:14:16,304 --> 00:14:18,521
Okay, now I know you're
thinking, you know what?
312
00:14:18,773 --> 00:14:21,539
Tracy, that all sounds great,
but I, I'm really not technical.
313
00:14:21,591 --> 00:14:26,469
I don't know, n eight n or make.com
or makeup.com, whatever you call it.
314
00:14:26,626 --> 00:14:29,443
Here's the thing, neither do most of
the parents building these systems.
315
00:14:29,547 --> 00:14:32,391
That's exactly why I created
the AI Escape Plan newsletter.
316
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,156
It's specifically designed for
parents like you or her ready to
317
00:14:35,156 --> 00:14:36,565
break free from their nine to five.
318
00:14:36,747 --> 00:14:41,313
Each issue delivers practical AI
powered strategies to start, grow,
319
00:14:41,313 --> 00:14:42,852
and streamline your side hustle.
320
00:14:42,973 --> 00:14:47,408
All of them constructed to protect
your family time and boost your income.
321
00:14:47,408 --> 00:14:51,165
No fluff, no height, just your roadmap
to more money, more freedom, and
322
00:14:51,165 --> 00:14:52,704
more of what truly matters to you.
323
00:14:52,756 --> 00:14:55,156
The next issue is gonna break
down how to build your first
324
00:14:55,156 --> 00:14:57,243
automation in 90 minutes or less.
325
00:14:57,373 --> 00:15:00,986
Step-by-step, screenshot by screenshot,
parent tested, Tracy approved.
326
00:15:01,130 --> 00:15:02,513
You might wanna go ahead and check it out.
327
00:15:03,156 --> 00:15:05,895
Let's zoom back out for a
moment and answer the question,
328
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:07,226
why does this even matter?
329
00:15:07,226 --> 00:15:09,678
Why am I still listening
this far into the episode?
330
00:15:09,678 --> 00:15:13,513
Well, you know, we're, we're living
in this huge shift of how work is
331
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:16,591
getting done, and it's probably
the biggest shift that's happened
332
00:15:16,721 --> 00:15:18,939
since the Industrial Revolution.
333
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:23,895
AI isn't just changing technology, it's
kind of changing who gets to win, okay?
334
00:15:24,156 --> 00:15:25,826
For the first time in history.
335
00:15:26,308 --> 00:15:30,013
The constraint isn't access
to tools or access to capital.
336
00:15:30,169 --> 00:15:33,639
It's not even access to technical
skill or having technical skill.
337
00:15:33,743 --> 00:15:36,717
The constraint is time and focus.
338
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:37,421
And guess what?
339
00:15:37,656 --> 00:15:41,413
Parents have been managing time and
managing focus constraints their entire
340
00:15:41,517 --> 00:15:43,656
parenting career, right from day one.
341
00:15:43,786 --> 00:15:46,995
Heck, probably from the moment you
found out you were gonna be your parent.
342
00:15:47,204 --> 00:15:48,743
You've been training for this moment.
343
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:50,047
Without even thinking about it.
344
00:15:50,256 --> 00:15:53,256
Every time you've accomplished
something meaningful in a 20 minute
345
00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:57,117
window while dinner was cooking, you've
been preparing for this right now.
346
00:15:57,169 --> 00:16:01,369
Every time that you've solved the complex
problem while a toddler was tugging on
347
00:16:01,369 --> 00:16:04,760
your shirt or holding onto your shins,
you've been building the exact skills
348
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,243
that make this automation system.
349
00:16:06,765 --> 00:16:07,208
Possible.
350
00:16:07,417 --> 00:16:11,721
The future belongs to people who think
clearly under pressure, who worked
351
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:16,078
effectively in short bursts, and who
can solve real problems for real people.
352
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:16,808
Sound like anyone?
353
00:16:16,808 --> 00:16:18,139
You know, you perhaps.
354
00:16:18,217 --> 00:16:18,452
Yeah.
355
00:16:18,556 --> 00:16:22,313
Okay, so given that, here's your
whisker wisdom for this episode.
356
00:16:22,313 --> 00:16:24,008
Here's your sticky lesson for this week.
357
00:16:24,165 --> 00:16:28,313
Boring beats brilliant when
it comes to building wealth.
358
00:16:29,126 --> 00:16:32,073
While everyone else is gonna be
out there chasing the latest AI
359
00:16:32,073 --> 00:16:36,743
shiny object AI agents and complex
chat bots, you are gonna focus on
360
00:16:36,743 --> 00:16:41,126
simple linear workflows that solve
obvious problems for obvious money.
361
00:16:41,204 --> 00:16:43,891
Okay, so here's your specific
action for this week.
362
00:16:44,021 --> 00:16:47,591
Go ahead and pick one small business
that you know, perhaps personally
363
00:16:47,808 --> 00:16:51,795
could be your dentist, your kids'
daycare, or just the local coffee shop.
364
00:16:52,121 --> 00:16:56,765
Then spend 15 minutes observing what
manual tasks they do repeatedly.
365
00:16:57,026 --> 00:16:57,991
Is it email sorting?
366
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,686
Is it e invoice follow-ups?
367
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:00,991
Is it social media posting?
368
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,721
Okay, that right there is gonna become
your first automation opportunity.
369
00:17:05,008 --> 00:17:07,017
Don't build it yet, just identify it.
370
00:17:07,356 --> 00:17:10,278
Write it down because once
you see the problem, clearly
371
00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:12,130
the solutions become obvious.
372
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:15,391
Remember, you're not trying to
impress anyone com with complexity.
373
00:17:15,704 --> 00:17:18,939
You are trying to solve problems
that keep business owners awake
374
00:17:19,095 --> 00:17:20,347
at 2:00 AM in the morning.
375
00:17:20,426 --> 00:17:24,182
So listen, your 90 minutes tonight
matter more than you think while
376
00:17:24,182 --> 00:17:26,508
other parents are out there binge
watching their favorite programs.
377
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:28,539
Probably programs they'll forget.
378
00:17:28,539 --> 00:17:32,243
By morning, you'll be building
the system that changes everything
379
00:17:32,321 --> 00:17:33,286
for you and your family.
380
00:17:33,521 --> 00:17:36,756
You have just been walked through
five proven automations that
381
00:17:36,756 --> 00:17:39,495
are already generating real
money for real people out there.
382
00:17:39,495 --> 00:17:42,182
These aren't theoretical and
they're certainly not complex.
383
00:17:42,391 --> 00:17:45,286
They are simple workflows
that solve obvious problems.
384
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,343
For obvious money, the automation expert
who showed me these systems started
385
00:17:49,343 --> 00:17:51,613
exactly where you are, right this minute.
386
00:17:51,926 --> 00:17:53,308
Heck, they might have
started even further back.
387
00:17:53,647 --> 00:17:56,465
They were sitting at their kitchen table
after bedtime, wondering if there was
388
00:17:56,465 --> 00:18:00,873
something out there some way, a better
way, and he chose to spend his evening
389
00:18:00,873 --> 00:18:03,430
hours building instead of just consuming.
390
00:18:03,534 --> 00:18:07,069
Six months later, he was
running a $72,000 per month.
391
00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:08,100
Business.
392
00:18:08,256 --> 00:18:09,273
Your escape plan is waiting.
393
00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:13,082
It's not complicated, certainly
not sexy, but it is very real.
394
00:18:13,265 --> 00:18:16,708
It's very profitable, and it
fits around your family time.
395
00:18:17,021 --> 00:18:19,056
The question isn't
whether you have the time.
396
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:22,160
The question is what are you
gonna do with the time you have?
397
00:18:22,395 --> 00:18:25,473
And with that, I'm gonna leave you
as I always do think successfully.
398
00:18:25,734 --> 00:18:26,308
Take action.
