    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    CHAT - AI - 
    I haven't fully moved my emails and files over to the Workspace account yet. I like the admin panel though, and will gradually migrate over. I'm looking forward to getting AI to help me write Google Apps Scripts to automate a few processes.

    Homeschooling Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    Here in Ireland we don't have to follow a curriculum when homeschooling. We just have to ensure his needs are met regarding literacy, numeracy, ethics, social, and exercise. He's 15 and can already read, write, and was doing 90%+ in his Maths exams. He despises learning things he sees no...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    1) Staff / sub consultants to scale the workload - there is a huge skills shortage locally, meaning experienced people are far and few between, commanding a premium (which means less margin, more risk) Can you start by getting leads for other businesses/consultants first? Maybe you even get...

    Training courses

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yes, I've sold a few courses, had a few small paid memberships, and a few small paid email newsletters. I've never gone all-in on any of them as I came to believe it's better to serve the DIY or DFY markets and not both. Currently looking to sell access to an AI version of me that could...

    Pivot of reality and how to celebrate?

    MINDSET 
    Not everyone wants out of the rat race. Some people just like grumbling. But then a lot do, but don't realise the biggest change they have to make is their own mindset. Someone once told me that business is the truest form of self expression. We don't get anywhere till we develop ourselves...

    Homeschooling Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    I thought I'd create a chat thread for those of us doing or interested in homeschooling. I'm hoping this thread can be like a small sub-community in the forum. We just started homeschooling our 15 year old this week. I'll add more details below. Curious who else is homeschooling or thinking...

    60 days later, not one follower on X

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Why X? As suggested already, post to YouTube (and TikTok, SnapChat, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc). See where you get traction and double down there. I've about 1,000 followers / subs on both and would much rather figure out YouTube than X. They're almost the exact opposite of each other. On X...

    Other stuff: Last week: 1) Signed up to Google Workspace and set myself and my software engineer up with email addresses. I'm looking forward to gradually automating some of our processes using Google Apps Scripts that I'll get AI to help me write. 2) Hosted an insider call where @Dark...

    I'm going to play with Chatbase soon. I'd like to see what people are asking the AI I trained on my content, and how it's replying. Here's the progress thread on that: Building AI Andy

    Are you using your SaaS to do the work for them, or are they asking lots of questions? If they're asking questions can you use something like Chatbase(.)co and train it on your content and FAQs so people can self-serve?

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    This week: Our 15 year old starts home schooling this week. He'll be helping me in my business and we also agreed a goal to grow and monetise a YouTube channel of a subject of his choosing. I've just signed him up to Adobe Creative Cloud Pro.

    Even if they're abroad? What if they had a few small clients of their own? My software engineer could have his own clients. He's set up as a company.

    I have a full-time software engineer who's a freelancer. We must have been working together a decade now. Best of both worlds?

    What is it you're trying to learn or be able to do, and why specifically Claude Code? I'm sure there's loads of people in the forum who could help you. I like Dylan Davis's videos on YouTube and joined his paid Discord last week. It's small and $147/mth to ask him questions he'll respond to...

    Almost gave it away twice. If you're grinding and tired, read this.

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Reminds me of a when a business consultant in Ireland told us in a workshop one time: "Be wary when someone's singing your praises and telling you how you're the next big thing. You're being set up." (Blaise Brosnan)
