If You Only Watch One AI Business Video, Make It This
627 segments
There are so many AI business videos out
there telling you how to start an agency
or what AI agency to sell or what app to
launch and it's all noise. I've made
over $25 million with AI over the last
seven and a half years. So, if you
actually want to build a successful AI
business and you were to watch just one
video, I'd make it this one because
chasing new tools or obsessing over new
builds in Claude will not make you any
money. There are only two things that
you should focus on and neither have
anything to do with AI. So, in this
video, I'm going to tell you exactly
what these two things are promise that
if you do these two things, you won't
watch another AI tool update video or
build tutorial ever again that
ultimately leaves you making no
progress. Let's get into it. Okay, so
the single most important decision in
this business is also the one that
people don't really talk about and the
truth is that tools don't ever stop
changing. A year ago, everyone was glued
to an 8-in, then Claude code dropped and
the entire AI space jumped ship
overnight. If you're just starting out
right now, you genuinely don't know
which one to pick. So, picking the best
tool feels like you're making some type
of progress, but it really is just the
newest form of procrastination where you
get that little dopamine hit. And here's
what nobody's paying attention to. What
people actually want has not changed.
It's still the same exact thing. Think
about a roofer. He didn't start his
business because fixing roofs was some
revolutionary trend or some new tool
that allowed him to do it. He started
because roofs will always leak, pipes
will always burst, and gutters will
always clog. Jeff Bezos said the same
thing about strategy when you're
thinking about business. He said,
"Everyone asks what's going to change in
the next 10 years, but the better
question is what's going to stay the
same." You can only build a business on
what's going to stay the same because
that's what mitigates your risk. You
can't build one on a trend that could
disappear next year just like an 8-in
did. And the biggest problem that'll
never die is that businesses will always
need more customers. They're going to
always struggle to acquire customers
profitably, efficiently, and there
always is going to be a manual piece to
doing that. And that problem existed 50
years ago, it exists today, and it'll
exist in the next 50 years. The way they
go about solving it will just change,
but the problem will still persist. So,
focus on the permanent problem first.
The tool is just how you solve it. Think
of it like this. The tool is the hammer
and the problem is the house. Nobody
hires a builder because he owns a nice
or cool hammer, right? They hire him
because they want the house built well
and because that person has proof of
doing it well and not leaving a house
that's got a ton of problems. So, before
you learn a single tool, you need to
know exactly what problem you're going
to solve before you start solving it.
The next thing you need to decide is
simply how many and which one of the
problems you're going to solve. When I
first started, I sold a single
automation. Clients would stay for a
couple months and then they would end up
canceling. And I was always really
confused why and it took me a long time
to figure out why, but then I realized
something and the easiest way to explain
it is with the story of Jack and Jill.
They both need to go up a hill to get
water, but Jack goes first and leaves
his sister Jill behind. He grabs his
bucket, he heads straight up the hill.
He doesn't even look at the bucket. He's
just focused on getting to the water
that's at the top of the hill. So, he
gets to the top of the hill, he fills
the bucket all the way up and he starts
heading back down the hill. But, halfway
down the hill he notices something. The
bucket keeps getting lighter and he
looks down and the water is pouring out
from all the holes he didn't even know
were in the bucket. So, he panics and he
runs into a friend on the way down and
says, "Hey, can you help me? My bucket's
leaking everywhere." And his friend
takes a look, he pulls out a patch and
he says, "There you go, you're all set."
Jack says, "Thanks." and he just kind of
keeps walking down the hill trying to
get back to the house. But, by the time
he gets home, he looks down and the
bucket has no water in it. It's
completely empty. Every single drop is
gone because his friend only patched one
hole and the water just leaked out of
all the other holes that were already in
the bucket. So, Jack climbed the whole
hill, filled the bucket to the top, and
got back with literally nothing. Now,
he's sitting there with an empty bucket,
frustrated, and exhausted. Kind of like
what most business owners experience
when they work with other companies,
like what I was doing when I started.
But, then he sees his sister Jill
getting back and her bucket is
completely full. And Jack is completely
confused. He's like, "How? I asked Mom
and she told me that all of her buckets
had holes in them. How do you still have
all your water? And Jill says, "Yeah, my
bucket had holes, but before I went up
the hill, I asked Mom to take a look at
it. So, she sat down and patched every
single hole one at a time before I went
up to the hill to fill it up." And that
is exactly how the AI market the AI
agency market is right now. Jack and
Jill are both businesses. They're both
climbing the same hill, spending money
on marketing, running ads, and doing
everything they can do to get clients,
aka going to the well to get water, but
their businesses have a bunch of holes
in them. And these are problems that
make them lose clients before they ever
get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
And the people selling automations right
now are like Jack's friends. They sell
only one patch for a bucket that's full
of a lot of holes. And yeah, that one
patch might actually work at fixing one
specific hole, but it doesn't matter
because the other holes are still there
and the bucket will inevitably be empty.
And that's the problem with selling a
single automation. Say you sell a
business an AI receptionist, so they
never miss a call, right? It sounds like
a really good idea, a really valuable
service. But if that same business has
no way for people to find them in the
first place, the phone isn't going to
ever ring and your amazing receptionist
won't answer any calls and it's not
going to provide any value. So, here's
what you want to do instead. Sell one
complete system that plugs every hole.
Stop being Jack's buddy with one patch.
Be more like Jill's mom and just seal
every single hole in the bucket before
they ever climb the hill. Now, there are
seven holes with problems that every
single local business has and
experiences that I've been able to plug.
Real quick though, you're probably
wondering why I give this all the way
for free and not sell it to you on a
course or community like everyone else
does in the AI space. And here's the
truth. I got a valuation for my agency
for over $5 million and I wanted to sell
it, but my broker told me if I helped
three to four people build the exact
same business, I could roll them into a
portfolio and the valuation could jump
from a 4x multiple to somewhere between
8 to 15. And that means that my agency
can be worth at least around $20 if I
find the right people. So, if you'd like
to be one of them, check out the link in
the description below. We'll hop on a
one-to-one call. I'll be able to see if
you're a good fit. We'll be able to go
from that. Now, this is the system that
solves both of the decisions. It focuses
on solving the biggest problem that
local businesses have, and it also
solves the right sub-problems to make
sure the business gets more clients. And
this is what I call the AI Aristotle
system. I named it after Aristotle on
purpose because he said the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts. It's
a famous quote he said, and that's the
entire point of this entire system. One
of these services on its own is
one-dimensional. Kind of like the one
patch that Jack did. It's not very
effective. But if you put them together
in the correct sequential order, each
pillar makes every other pillar work
better because it compounds on itself,
which makes the whole greater than the
simple sum of its parts. Okay, so what
I'm going to do now is I'm going to
break down the seven AI employees that I
developed. So, the very first one, the
very first AI employee is the AI
website, which is mobile plus load speed
optimized. And so, the problem with most
local businesses' websites are number
one, they take very long to load. And
what the data shows is that if a bus- if
a website takes too long to load, 3
seconds to 5 seconds, people just leave,
right? Because for whatever reason they
just leave. I know I've done it. I would
imagine you've probably done it as well.
In addition to that, what the data also
shows is that the majority of traffic on
Google and Facebook and Instagram is
done on a phone. It's not done on a
computer anymore. And so, with Facebook
and Instagram, they literally stopped
reporting it because it would it's like
98%. So, there's just no point. It's
basically 100%. But on Google, it's over
60%. So, when people are on Google, 60%
of the time at least people are on their
phone rather than on their computer. And
so, the issue is the fact that the
majority of local businesses' websites
are not optimized for a phone. They're
optimized for a desktop user. And so,
have you ever gone to a website on your
phone and you're like, "What the hell am
I doing?" right? How do I even navigate
this thing? It's because it's not built
for a phone user. It's built for
somebody that's on their desktop. And
so, what the data shows is that if
someone lands on a on a website, a local
business website that's not optimized
for mobile, they literally just end up
bouncing. 78% of people literally just
bounce out of it and then just find a
business that has it optimized for
mobile. Right? Like the next one that
ranks on Google. And so, that's a big
big problem because the more majority of
these people's businesses are just not
optimized for mobile. And then in
addition to that, 70% of these small
businesses' websites don't ask you for
their info. And what I mean by that is,
they have a contact form somewhere that
you have to search for and find. You
basically have to search on their
website how to give them your
information or how to opt in. In
addition to that, they don't incentivize
you to opt in. Right? They'll literally
just have a contact form saying,
"Contact us." Literally just look up
"roofer near me" and let's see what
happens. And see if it's optimized for
mobile, see how long it takes to load,
and you can do Google PageSpeed Insights
to actually see what the report is,
where you can literally just upload the
URL and see how long it takes to load.
And it will tell you how long it takes
on mobile, how long it takes on desktop.
And then in addition to that, see if at
the very top of the page, just right
when you go into the website, see if at
the very top it has a clear offer and a
form for you to enter your information,
where you can give them your your first
name, last name, phone number, and
email. Right? Because the majority of
these businesses, again, take long to
load. In addition to that, they're not
optimized for mobile. And then from
there, they make it very difficult for
the person to leave their information,
which is the whole point of a website.
It's to generate customers. It's to
generate leads. And so, because of these
problems, what we do is we build them a
website that's optimized for both mobile
and desktop. We make it load in under a
second, so that it's it's instant. And
then in addition to that, we create a
promotion that is at the top page, so
right when they click on it, they don't
have to move anywhere. They're going to
see exactly where they can leave their
information. And then there's a
promotion to incentivize them to leave
their information. And then in addition
to that, rather than asking them first
name, last name, phone number, and email
all in one form, we ask them one
question at a time because that gets a
higher conversion rate, cuz it's less
requirements. It's less friction, which
results in a better result. And so, look
and see if the roofer near you does any
of that stuff. I could almost guarantee
you they don't. And that's why this is
the first thing that we offer. The
second thing that we do is the database
reactivation or the outreach specialist
AI agent. And so, every local business
is really sitting on a list of old leads
and past customers that their staff and
them don't follow up with. And what the
data shows is that the average rep makes
just 1.3 attempts before giving up on a
lead forever. And a lot of people don't
even follow up with leads, which is
unbelievable. And so, this is literally
free money collecting dust for the
business owner that they're just not
doing anything with. And the crazy part
is that 93% of the leads that ever
convert are reached out on the sixth
attempt, okay? And so, almost everyone
quits five attempts before getting to
the conversion. And so, to plug the
hole, you use AI to reach back out to
every old lead with an offer by text.
And that's what we do. We plug our AI
and V SMS to then nurture these people,
not email, okay? And the reason why is
because text messages get over a 90%
open rate and over a 45% response rate,
where emails get a 6% open rate, okay?
So, 6% open rate compared to over a 90%
over open rate. It's a very, very big
difference. And just by setting this up,
the business will get clients almost
instantly without having to invest any
money into any type of marketing, okay?
Cuz we're just taking their database
leads, plugging our AI into it to then
generate them opportunities that they
can close. And these are easier people
to close than they would get from
running ads because these are people who
are already familiar with their
business. They're warm leads. They
already gave the business their
information, right? Well, when you're
running ads on Facebook, you're finding
people that have never interacted with
the business. They're completely cold.
And that's why this is the second AI
agent that we deploy is because once we
fix the website, we now tap into their
database to bring them in a lot of
opportunities that is just low-hanging
fruit and very easy to capitalize on.
The third AI employee is the reputation
manager. And what we're doing here is
we're helping them generate reviews and
referrals. And so, once you've got
people coming into the business through
the database, your next AI hire should
just be the reputation manager because
everyone looks at reviews before they
make a purchasing decision when it comes
to local businesses, specifically local
businesses. It's very common, obviously,
that people look at reviews before
making any purchasing decision, but 98%
of people reference reviews when it
comes to local businesses before they've
decided to make a decision about
becoming a customer, right? Have you
ever looked up a restaurant near you,
looked up a contractor near you for
maybe remodeling a bathroom, a deck,
something like that, right? And if they
didn't have good reviews, you looked for
someone else, right? A gym, you found
bad reviews, you went somewhere else,
right? It's very, very common. And the
other important thing about this is the
fact that only 11% of these people who
work at these businesses or business
owners ask for reviews. And the ones
that do typically do in a really bad
way. And what I mean by that is they'll
leave a QR code where anyone can leave a
review, even people that are pissed off,
or they just ask people in a really bad
way, that's super awkward, which makes
you not want to leave a review. I know
I've experienced that before. And so,
the way that we do it is through text,
and then we leverage an offer to
incentivize them to leave a review. And
we do it in a legal and compliant way.
And so, we follow up with them, ask
them, "On a scale of 1 to 5, how was
your experience? If you let us know how
it was, we'll give you a chance to win a
membership for free for the year." Once
they respond with how their experience
was, we then say, "Okay, in addition to
that, you can now leave your review
right here with this link." A lot of
people don't send people a link where
they can directly leave the review,
which is kind of hard to find sometimes
on Google when you're actually trying to
leave a review. So, we make it very easy
for them to do it. And then, once
they've left a review, we then follow up
with them asking, "Hey, is there anyone
else you'd like to bring into the gym
with you? We've got a couple 7-day
passes, and anyone that you do bring in
or refer to us, we'll put your name into
that raffle five more times. You'll have
a chance to win a membership for free
for the year." And so, by doing that, we
now get them to tell friends and family
to come in with them, which literally
generates more leads and customers for
free without the business owner having
to do anything. So, at this point, the
business owner's literally invested no
money in advertising, which is what the
majority of agencies out there do. As
they push Google advertising, SEO, meta
advertising, and it always ends really
bad cuz they don't fix these holes. And
the fourth AI employee we deploy is the
website manager. And so, what we do here
is nurture the leads that comes through
their website. And so, the reason why
this is important is because on average,
businesses follow up with leads within
42 to 47 hours. So, if we plug our AI
into all leads that come through their
website and follow up with them
instantly, right when they respond to
any text, we follow up right away, just
by simply doing that, our chances of
getting these people to become customers
and to show up at the business increase
by over 400%. And so, it's very
important that if businesses do figure
all of this stuff out, they have a
process in place to capitalize on all
the leads that do come through because
speed to lead is the name of the game
when it comes to even just getting
people through the door. And again, if
someone doesn't follow up with the lead
right away, they're going to probably
reach out to another business, and
that's what the data shows. And the
person who follows up with them right
away and more frequently is going to end
up more than likely converting that
customer. And so, that is why we deploy
the website lead nurturing agent. The
fifth AI employee is the receptionist,
the missed call text back AI
receptionist. And so, the whole we were
talking about earlier, right, is that
62% of calls to local businesses go
unanswered. And I've had customers where
we've literally plugged this in and
we've seen them miss over 100 calls in a
month and only pick up like six. So,
over 90% of their calls get missed. And
so, just like when people opt in through
a website, these are people that are
ready to become customers and they've
made the leap to literally pick the
phone up and call, which nowadays people
are even anxious to call people. And so,
they made a basically a big leap, and if
they don't get answered and someone
doesn't speak to them, they're probably
not going to call back. And they're
probably just going to call someone else
that will answer. And so, by us doing
this, we're able to capitalize on that
and make sure 100% of their calls get
answered. And by doing that, we book
about 30 to 40% of the people that the
agent speaks with. And then from there,
it nurtures them via text and makes sure
they show up. And then if they don't
show up, it handles rescheduling them so
that the business owner and their staff
literally don't have to do anything or
lift a finger. And the sixth AI employee
we deploy is the closers coach, which is
an AI sales coach. And so, basically,
these businesses and their staff, they
don't ever focus on training on sales.
And so, number one, they don't know how
to sell people. They don't have a script
to sell people. They don't have a sales
process to use when they're speaking
with people. And lastly, they don't ever
review the calls that they're doing.
They don't ever role-play with each
other. They don't ever review the
recordings of them trying to close
people and running their sales process.
So, they never receive any feedback. And
in addition to that, a step before that,
they never receive any formal training.
Right? Literally, 70% of people that
work at local businesses report that
they've never received any formal type
of sales training. And then, that means
nothing at all from implementation at
the start to learning a sales process to
even refining it through role-playing
and review. And so, what we do is we
implement an AI sales coach that can
role-play with them and review their
calls or their consultations they record
and upload into it. And it will
literally grade them on the sales
process and it will just tell them what
they did well and what they did wrong
and what they should say differently to
make sure they're following the script
that results in closing the most deals.
Very, very basic. But again, if we're
getting a bunch of people coming in
through reactivations, through
referrals, through people calling in,
through the website, it doesn't matter
if they can't close them. Right? They're
not going to make any money. You could
patch all those holes, but if they're
not converting anybody, the business
owner is going to ultimately blame it on
you. And so, for that reason, that's why
we deploy this. And then, the last AI
employee is the marketing director,
which is paid ads with AI neuro
training. And so, the reason why we do
this is because once you've done all of
that other stuff, the business owner
should now be in a position to fully
capitalize on any type of advertising.
Where before, if those problems are not
addressed, which is typically what
happens, any business that tries to help
them grow is going to fall short.
They're not going to end up having
success. And that's why agencies have a
lot a really bad reputation is because
they just fix one hole. And just doing
one hole is not solving the entire
problem. You have to take all of the
problems a business owner has with
regards to that one hole you're patching
and basically solve them. And that's
what I've done over the last 7 years,
which allows me to retain people for
years and for people to pay me over
$100,000 over the course of multiple
years. And that's what you want to build
a a very successful business is that cuz
once we've patched all those holes, the
business is now in a position to
basically pour gas on the fire and the
gas is the ad spend. But again, if
you're not following up with the leads
quick, if you don't have a lot of
reviews, if your website doesn't look
good, and if the the team handling the
appointments that do come in do not to
convert them, running ads is going to be
a complete disaster for that business
owner and it's not going to go well. And
so that is why we do it last. And so I
know I just went over a lot there, but
here's the most important decision you
have to make when it comes to building a
business with AI and it's literally just
to start. None of this matters if you
don't do anything with what you just
learned in this video and everything
that I just went over. So if you're
serious about this, I can help you move
a lot faster and be a catalyst. All my
resources, the systems you'll sell, me
reviewing your calls one-to-one and
role-playing with you. This is what my
partners get and the reason they can go
from making nothing to over $10,000 a
month in less than 30 days. And if you
want, you can apply to become my partner
with the link in the description below
to be able to get access to all of that,
to work directly with me, and I'll be
able to see if I think you'd be a good
fit to do that. Thank you for watching
the video. I'll see you in the next one.

This video outlines a strategy for building a successful AI business by moving away from chasing individual AI tools and instead focusing on solving permanent, foundational problems for local businesses. The author introduces the 'AI Aristotle system,' a holistic framework consisting of seven automated AI 'employees' that plug key gaps in a company's operations—such as lead generation, database reactivation, reputation management, and sales coaching—to create compounding value and sustainable growth.
