    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Continued implementing AI more deeply into my work flow this week. Significant progress with some big features on the platform. Got my head out of the weeds of outreach a little more and have a few agents researching and reaching out to prospects. My previous post about actioning 10+...

    The most satisfying thing in the world has to be polishing and coating a black car (but I'm weird like that!) Finally got around to doing the mrs' Civic over the weekend too Agree with the Cayenne, absolutely silly value for money and brilliant cars, even the older first gens, but the second...

    been a busy week progress on the house build, new office flooring getting laid, and work steaming ahead with my client. Came close to considering a job, decent pay, stock options etc but in reality I would be getting drawn into the very politics that made me quit employment a long time ago...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    Eurgh. Talking this weekend with a buddy who I used to ride with. He wants a superbike that I've had previously and is trying t cnvince me the same. Even without the usual risks, he's also not had very fast cars or bikes so jumping into this midlife crisis I'm convinced will not end well for him...

    Would you pay the 4k for this flashy guru?

    I'm sure good mentors are out there. I'd take a stab and say 95% of them marketing as such aren't worth it and pray on people wanting an outcome and not having the inclination, motivation or mindset to seek out the information. Having spent some money on various courses out of pure convenience...

    I've always wondered if I was adhd. Very possibly, as I consign idea number 300 to the journal and move on without getting distracted.. But one thing is for sure, AI has made going from an idea to a super shiney object focus, to executing something working, so fast it actually lights me up. In...

    Problem with the Datsuns is that there are some seriously well restored and restomodded ones that still take time to sell. That's not to say there isn't a market, but be prepared to wait imo. I've seen some immaculate 240s take months to move and more. strong asking prices that said There's...

    Love a 70's porsche. Well, most porsches for that matter! Have been flipping cars short and long term for a while my downfall is I get far too attached lol. Look forwards to seeing more photos, an old colleague of mine always told me he loved the driving roads in Ireland (he was an ex rally...

    Good insight, thanks for sharing - Not sure if there's any truth or science behind the following, just something I noticed, but do videos get shown to your audience more? I noticed a few videos of me just talking while I drive didn't get many views - BUT - did get a lot of feedback from people...

    The future of Entrepreneurship in the age of AI (SOFTWARE IS DEAD)

    HOT! - AI - 
    Thing is, The ability to build software might not be a moat, but the ability to detail, design, scale and convince a client that you have the ability to build rigid, well thought out software is. The bar has essentially been lifted - "I've built a to do list app" no longer cuts it. "I have an...

    OpenAI Lost Control Of Its AI During a Security Test — And It Hacked Another Company: ‘Deeply Concerning’

    NEWS 
    I Think movies like irobot, terminator and the latest mission impossible are all real possible outcomes. Not necessarily in the snese of humanoid robots walking around and driving cars - but the scary thing is they don't even really need to be sentient. They just need to fall into a loop where...

    Struggling with the "employee mindset"

    IDEA FEEDBACK RANT 
    Ok so a few things there. a year without success - shows a few things. 1) when things aren't working after a few months at ALL, "something" is broken and needs to be changed. Jumping straight to the end of needing a partner is just trying to outsource troubleshooting that proble, So out of...

    Business models that feel grey (gambling, lotteries, raffles)

    MINDSET 
    didn't mean he wasn't - but some of the copycats with no personality trying to replicate something is very cringeworthy sometimes. Especially when it's clear they have no genuine interest in what they're doing and it's an obvious cash grab. That's the crux of it isn't it, the 'fair go' approach...

    A few loopholes around them like the boxes above where you buy "something" and get entered into a "free giveaway". Crazy but I think a few very well known social media ''influencers'' with mystery money have done the same. "live like me, message level up'' > engage on telegram >sent a link...

    Yes sorry, I should add context for those not in Aus as there are different rules all over - but the general gist follows in most countries in some shape or form (eg the random boxes mentioned above) I initially ran a setup similar to BOTB in the uk way before it popped up in Australia...

    Making more is definitely the long term answer.. Mid term it would be nice to keep as much of what we earn as possible. Thinking out loud, corp tax in dubai is 9% for over 375k dirhams.. If the company earns $1m, $90k goes on tax.. If you only earn a nominal amount as an individual then as...

    One of my most enjoyable and probably lucrative short term ventures was in the world of car "raffles". I had the framework down to an art that worked very well - Unlike a lot of them floating about it was a bolt on to my existing business, not a business set up for easy money. You know the...

    Strange week this one. Work with client has thrown up an emotional rollercoaster. They asked if I wanted a job with the company - with stock options and progression a small part of me was tempted. Too late to the party and not high up enough on the food chain to replicate the trajectory of the...
