The Window is Closing

With every great shift there’s a window of opportunity to have a massive unfair advantage and make a ton of money

and there’s ALWAYS going to be new shifts and opportunities, so do not take this email as “this is your last chance to ever get rich” blah blah doomsdayer message like others say

HOWEVER

I was on the facetime with my parents last night and now they know about tools like Cursor and copilot, no longer just ChatGPT

Most of my hometown friends don’t know Claude, only ChatGPT, they don’t know they can build internal tools for themselves at work with Cursor, they don’t know about Hermes, or how to use Claude cowork

but people are STARTING TO learn about them, and if you know them now you’re way ahead of the everyday person

I know I’m the SaaS guy but I can list off so many ways everyday people could make money right now with ai

1. walk into a restaurant and sell them on ai voice systems for their orders

2. AI focused sales agency (ai powered CRM’s like attio etc)

3. Use ai to build software / apps

4. build internal tools and sell them to literally anyone

can go on and on and on and these are SIMPLE things that anyone can do in a weekend that they just don’t know about yet

my friend is a financial advisor for Merrell Lynch and he asked me what I’d be using ai for in his job

he lives in West Palm Beach and obviously wants to get in contact with wealthy people, and I was like literally just use Cursor / Apify and build a scraping tool for instagram

describe exactly what you do and what you’re trying to achieve to Cursor, and then I’d scrape instagram profiles and probably look for bio content like “WBP” “west palm” “entrepreneur” “founder” and then click their link in bio contents, if it looks like they sell something that’s a good sign, go to their post content, if you see nice cars / travel locations, prob a good sign

and you just describe more and more in detail and then give it 5 profiles and say hey cursor 3 of these are good leads and 2 aren’t tell me which are which

and you slowly train it, and then boom you have an automated lead finder and you can take it further and have it reach out, build you a dashboard, hook it up to your crm, etc

that isn’t hard at ALL and would take you just a few hours but people don’t know you can do it

but when the masses know about this, your edge goes away

now is the time to focus and go hard — you can set yourself up in the next few years

homework for today:

claude, whispr flow, cursor, go build some internal tool for yourself to make your life easier, and then who knows, maybe you can open source it to the public and help others

Happy Monday
