If you’re a grunting “caveman” of a marketer who loves you no AI tech, you can safety close this page…
But if not:
Here’s some honest advice for AI junkies (or soon-to-be junkies) from a former tech hoard-a-holic…
When I first started my online marketing career:
I used to hoard software and tools in the hundreds.
I mean literally.
Whatever profits I got from my online business would go straight to buying the latest new traffic generation, content generation, product generation, and whatever new ‘hotty’ software was the flavor of the week.
And it got to the point that…
I kept using up all my money.
But I had no idea where it all went.
Why?
Because I was constantly hoarding more and more tools I both used and never used (most of which I never used)… but… the ‘bloat’ in my business was getting so massive that… I was getting less and less done everyday… which also meant I was actually making less money, not more!
I felt like I was productive.
Because I was constantly pressing buttons and stuff.
And I thought I was doing alright, because I was working hard (hint: if you’re working hard, you’re doing it wrong). But because I was spending more and more time juggling different tools for different tasks all the time… it got to the point that… I was actually spending less time making money!
And it was pretty obvious I was going nowhere…
… fast!
But it wasn’t until my friend threw the book at me that I started seeing where I was at…
I mean literally:
I had this friend who went from being a dishwasher at a Japanese restaurant, to learning how to do paid advertising and media buying online, and going from minimum wage to making over $30 million a year selling stuff through paid ads…
… and one day he recommended me this book.
It was called Good to Great.
By Jim Collins.
And it was a comprehensive study of some of the top companies in history who went from making good money, to making great money… and comparing them with companies who made good money, but… either went bankrupt… or never grew past where they were, and stagnated for years!
One of the biggest differences between them?
Failing companies were constantly chasing after new tech trends.
Constantly buying new tools.
New equipment.
New software.
Then trying to figure out, “How should we use these?”
Because everyone was using them, right? So management had to get in on it to make it look like they were doing their jobs.
But:
All the companies who actually went from good to great?
They NEVER, EVER chased the new ‘flavor of the month’!
And only bought new tech, tools, or software whenever it would clearly help them do… what they were already doing. So they could do it with more consistency, quality, simplicity, and speed. In other words, they never bought a tool, then tried to figure out how they could use it later. They only bought tools that helped them do what they were already doing… but do it better!
The end result?
They went from making good money…
… to great money!
Money that lasted longer (much longer) than what everyone else was making.
Which happened to me too, once I started getting off the ‘tech train’ and started simplifying my business… to the point that… all I had to do was one simple little thing everyday… with only one little piece of simple software I personally programmed to automate what I was already doing well that brought in money… and that ‘one trick pony’ was what made me my first $10k a month in profit marketing online… in just 2 months!
Profits that are still coming in today, over a decade later.
At any rate:
There’s lots of other reasons why you should be simplifying your business.
And AI tech stack.
And getting it as small as you can.
Reasons which don’t involve making big money… fast.
Like quality of life, peace of mind, less procrastination, less confusion, not needing any employees to manage it, less costs, more profits, more free time, less stress, more leisure time, more time to play video games and travel, better social life, better family relationships, more time to think of ideas (which legendary copywriter Gary Halbert says, if you can come up with just one really good one, is more important than a lifetime of hard work), better mental health, better blood pressure, more time to exercise…
And the list goes on.
But if you want to know exactly how you can simplify your business, with minimal tech, yet still get 10x, 100x, even 1000x more done, with more progress than almost any AI guroo you see out there in Social Influencer Land…
… that’s exactly what I get into in my new work on…
… how to Scam Your Brain Productive.
And it includes the simple little ‘Japanese hacks’ I personally use to routinely compress the time it takes to get stuff done… stuff that used to take 8 hours but which I rather effortlessly squished down to 8 minutes (and counting). Without AI.
And how I simplify my businesses to the point that…
… all I need to do is one thing a day to effortlessly manage old, and create new, businesses that run like clockwork.
And more.
