Day 17

Behold — the Ancient Minotaur God, presiding over the Mountain of Dead Tech, while chaos agents build his glitchy kingdom in the sky.

Today, main things:

  • Spent time looking into USA taxes … learnt quite a lot and realised that I’m going to drop Laravel Spark in favour of being able to use Stripe Tax
  • The rest of today’s work time was spent tightening up my value proposition and planned business model more, with the output being on the website. I wasn’t happy with the current incarnation of it, but I think i’m in a better place now. Will have to wait to see what the group thinks. Most of this was done in conversation with ChatGPT, my own thinking and a good conversation with my potential business partner.

Being clear about the value

I’m now able to communicate a lot clearer the general advantages that AI offers, and that’s crucial for an agency to be able to do before making their offering.

I have broken the value of AI for companies down to 7 areas:

  1. Virtual Agents
  2. Automation
  3. Lead Generation
  4. Content Creation
  5. New capabilities
  6. Talking to your data
  7. All encompassing Virtual Assistants

Life Stuff

It’s Saturday 1st March 2025, and we had great blue skies today in Norwich. The grey winter was a long one, so it’s good to finally see the light.

One thing I’m absolutely determined to stick to even when building this AI Company is making sure I get out and about for adventures. Life really isn’t about making money and building businesses. A lot of the time it’s egoic human mind busyness, and really, life isn’t about that. There’s so much more.

But for those who for some reason, love the tech world, and are drawn to it naturally … we can easily lose years and decades staring at the screens. And it’s really not worth it. You don’t want to spend your entire career focused on making millions, only to make that target later in life and to realise that your real wealth – your time – has slipped away never to return.

It’s true what they say that life goes fast, but you are completely ignorant of it when young. It’s also true that you never know which day is going to be your last.

With that said, it’s so important to force yourself to make time to plan out adventures – of whatever scale – and then to actually do them. So I got myself out for a walk around the city today.
