An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success


3.8min Read


Today I’ll be talking about 3 things:

🍩 BITE 1 - Something that you genuinely cant and don't want to outsource

🍩 BITE 2 - A mentality that will change your life

🍩 BITE 3 - The most important technical advancement that currently exists


Something that you genuinely can't and don't want to outsource

As you know, I have gone DEEP with AI since the end of 2022 really. At first it was just out of pure amazement and curiosity. Something in me knew that this was important and worth diving into.

The last few years have gone by in the blink of an eye and that curiosity and amazement have turned into opportunities and businesses.

I won’t spend too much time on this because I’ve said this before, but if there is anything to pay attention to in the time that we live right now, its how to UNDERSTAND and use AI to make your life more efficient.

It’s not magic, but if done right, the time that you actually spend working will be spent on the tasks that light you up. The tasks that make you the MOST money. The tasks that you were born to do… leaving ample time other places in life to actually LIVE.

….

I’ll stop my monologue here and jump into the juice.

All of what I said is true, but hear me on this next point… no, seriously, you need to listen on this one:

YOU CAN’T AUTOMATE EVERYTHING.

And you don't want to.

AI is best used to make the human things you do EVEN BETTER.

And what are those human things:

  • Talking to people in person
  • Connecting with other humans
  • Networking
  • Being a friend that cares
  • Showing empathy and emotions
  • Shaking hands and being present

The list goes on.

And while some could totally argue that some of those things can be automated, I would say “yes, exactly my point. Use AI to make the human things you do better!”

  • Have your agent conduct research for the people that you should be networking with or connecting to
  • Create a living breathing document that helps you remember important things about the friends or clients you have… better yet, have AI remind you about those things when it see’s you’re meeting with them in your calendar

See what I’m saying?

But again, here’s the thing— You can’t outsource a good handshake. THAT still needs to be done.
Whether you like this or not, most of the successful business owners who might be your clients are in their 50s, 60s, 70s or older. They want a good handshake. They don't care about AI or any fancy agents you have.

But it’s really easy to forget that. It’s SO convenient to just outsource everything, but not all situations require that.


This mentality will change your life

You have two choices in life no matter who you are.

Choice 1 - You can accept the outcome
Choice 2 - You create your own

We have this incredible thing called freewill where we have been granted the ability to live a life in whatever way we choose to. The crazy thing is that most people, instead, live a life as if they are chained to a fence.

Maybe it’s the job that they feel stuck in or the area they grew up in, or the friends they hang around or the experiences they’ve had… whatever the reasons, they are living a life as if they just have to accept the cards they’ve been dealt.

With the utmost respect to anyone who is in that position right now, you have another choice.

You were born to be great. There is only ONE you on this planet and the uniqueness that you have is unmatched by ANYONE else out there.

To put this in perspective— the human brain has more synapse connections (it’s basically the way information travel in your mind) than the stars in the Milky Way. By a lot actually.

You DO NOT have to settle for anything. You are designed to be unique, special, great and to pursue what fires you up. But first you have to FIND that spark and then make the conscious choice to go after it.


What is OpenClaw?

I’ve talked about this a couple of times, but it’s worth explaining in more detail. So this is my official write up of OPENCLAW:

What it actually is:

OpenClaw is a free, open-source (available to everyone) AI agent (something that runs autonomously) that runs on your own computer and connects to LLMs (Large Language Models) like Claude, GPT, or DeepSeek.

But here’s the difference between OpenClaw and just chatting with Claude; instead of just generating text responses, OpenClaw actually will complete tasks. Yep. It reads files, runs shell commands, browses the web, sends emails, and automates workflows across every app that you connect it to.

Think of it this way. When you ask ChatGPT or Claude a question, you get an answer. When you ask OpenClaw to do something, it actually does it. Mind blowing. Oh and it does it on your machine. With your stuff.

Why people are losing their minds over it… myself included:

Instead of requiring a terminal or custom dashboard, OpenClaw works through the messaging apps you probably already use. WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage.

You literally text your AI agent like you’d text a friend, and it goes and does things FOR YOU.

The use cases people are running with it:

  • automating email
  • managing calendars
  • doing research
  • writing and running code
  • lead gen workflows
  • web scraping.

It’s kind of mind blowing. This tech is available NOW. It is 150 days old and absolutely changing the world. Imagine being one of the users of the internet within the first 150 days… that's what this is like right now!

WOW! That was a lot to digest! If you have specific questions or want to dive deeper, let me know!

I’m also sharing these concepts and teaching them to more businesses live and over virtual calls. If you belong to or know a business that needs an upgrade, I’d be happy to share and then make you look like a rockstar. ;)

Thanks for reading, I appreciate you more than you know!


Until next time...

Stay in the fight,

Weekly, and most cases daily, I have the opportunity to talk with amazingly successful entrepreneurs.

One of the most common variables to the success stories I hear is this:

They didn’t feel 100% confident, but they took action anyway.

@claudeai

Computer use is now in Claude Code.

Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI.

Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.
