    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    After a lot of faffing about I got a UK eSIM and a UK phone number on my dual SIM mobile. I then setup a WhatsApp Business Account with the UK number for dealing with UK businesses and consumers. I wanted a UK number for contacting consumers or businesses in the UK. If I rang or messaged from...

    Great. It's amazing how we often know what we should do but don't have the clarity. Are you talking to it or typing? I find it much better to talk to it.

    One of Dylan's other videos advises us to get AI to improve our prompts. ChatGPT and Claude have a button that does that. In Gemini I just ask it to improve a specific prompt. I also switched to Gemini as I like how it's part of Google's ecosystem, which I've gone all-in on. I've not even...

    Good idea. I've just made it public now! I can tweak it over time, and you can of course copy/paste my original instructions above and create your own version and tweak that. Let me know if this link works or not. I've not made a public Gem before...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I agree with cutting 90% of desk research and spending more time talking to you market. I contend that helping your market is better than "talking to them" though. Are there online communities of them complaining about anything you can help with? Can you just start helping them? Busy...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    Yes. Just start helping people. You may find your "who" changes over time. Act, Assess, Adjust It starts with Act. I suspect you're stuck in a research loop because you're not taking Action (engaging the market).

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    What we're both saying is stop assuming you know who you're going to end up helping and what you're going to end up helping them with. Get started by helping people, ideally doing something people get paid for. Over time you'll figure out who'll pay you, who you'll like working with, what you...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    What are you going to help them with? Maybe do that rather than working on your own website? Personally, I prefer to let the niche reveal itself. Basically, say Yes to start and say No to scale. Maybe watch these: Start Faster. Stop "Learning". Selling Google Ads as a Service And maybe...

    That PDF is amazing. What a great use case. Can you create an app to speed this up for you, and maybe make it available for others to use?

    Thanks @Dark Water. Funnily enough I watched that video this evening. I think Antigravity and NotebookLM is an amazing pairing. Is it just me, or is that guy really hard to follow. It seems like he talks a lot before he gets to the meat. Some people can just go live and talk without filler...

    I watched this video recently. You can get AI to adopt a role (a Business Growth Consultant for instance) and tell it your goal and it will help you identify roadblocks and achieve specific milestones. Dylan advises to use Fast mode for whatever AI you're talking to, and to talk to it rather...

    This coming week: I'm starting a 90 day sprint to get more rinse-and-repeat clients in niches where we can get results and clients are delighted. NO posting to LinkedIn. My ideal clients aren't on LinkedIn. Just login to see if I have messages then log out. NO taking on bespoke clients...

    Developer turned founder, freezing on the marketing/sales side. How did you overcome it?

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I think you're making sales and marketing into something bigger and scarier than they are. Marketing is just finding out what people want to buy, and how to sell it to them profitably. And sales is a screening process not a convincing process. I lean into being a techie when I chat to...

    Likewise, and I even joined Dylan's little paid community. I haven't done it for Dylan's videos, but this is a handy way of making an AI version of someone you can talk to, or getting insights across a large volume of information...
