So almost every single small business
owner that I talk to right now is in
quiet panic mode because they know that
AI is changing everything. They hear
about Chat GBT, Google AI, Gemini, AI
search results, AI chat widgets, agents,
things like that. They're terrified that
they're going to get left behind because
here's the truth. They want to know
about AI, but they don't want to build
it. and they don't really want to know
how to learn prompts. I'm getting text
messages from house cleaners that are
asking me about AI, private chefs that
are asking me how to use AI to grow
their business. They don't really want
to figure it out, though. They just want
somebody to install it for them to make
it work and make sure that they don't
lose customers or that their competition
doesn't get in front of them. And that's
where the real opportunity is. It is the
conflict that I think most beginners
think that they need to be some crazy
tech expert or start the next Google in
order to be successful with the AI boom
that we are experiencing right now. But
the real money is not in invention. It's
not in in deployment or it's not in
invention. Sorry, it is in deployment
because businesses already have traffic.
They already have healthy businesses.
They don't have the time to figure out
how to use AI to their advantage. They
don't have the time to do what you're
doing right now. You're on videos like
this where you learn the latest and
greatest, the strategies, the tips, the
tactics, and you get to take that
information back and offer to them for a
fee. So, in this video, I'm going to
show you some stats, some things that I
have uncovered that is shocking in the
world of where we are at with the AI
boom. And I think you are going to be
very surprised as to how early we are
and how wide open the opportunity is for
anybody that is brand new looking to
start this type of business or working
with small businesses and getting paid
in the process. If you're brand new,
this is the great greatest best time to
start right now. And I'm going to show
you why in this video. And obviously, if
you've been doing this for a while, you
already know. And I'm going to give you
some huge takeaways too in this video.
So these stats that I've pulled up to
me, they just blew my mind as to where
we really are. I mean, if you think
about it, if you were if you could go
back in time and you could have
the understanding of how Facebook ads
were running in 2015 and you could be
one of the first
businesses out there to run Facebook
ads, you were essentially printing
printing money. You're printing money
because advertising was so cheap to show
to people. And over time it became more
saturated and it became more expensive.
That is where we are right now. It is
early and we are in the biggest
opportunity ever to get going with this.
So and and I know this because I mean
real talk you guys. Yesterday we closed
a deal for an AI growth package to a
construction company. This is just
yesterday. $1,000 per month. And then
the day before that another $997
package. Now, I'm not showing you this
invoice because I'm saying you're going
to replicate this without doing
anything. I'm just showing you my
numbers, some of my stats to qualify
myself as somebody who is in the
trenches actually doing this stuff. I'm
doing this stuff and I'm here to report
from the front lines from what I am
seeing. Now, real quick before we get
into these stats, before I show you how
big this opportunity is, especially
right now, if you like this topic of
making money with AI from helping small
businesses, I'm doing something a little
different today. I'm actually doing a
free AI cash flow master class tomorrow
where I will be giving my three favorite
strategies that you can use right away
to get your first or your next client,
whether you're brand new or you're a
beginner, you've already made over
$100,000 online before with AI. So, just
like this video, subscribe if you
haven't already. Comment below and I'll
send you the the link so you can show up
live. The link is also on your screen.
I'll also be giving away some bonuses
for live attendees that are worth a lot
of money. And obviously, this is
happening tomorrow. So, if you're
watching this and the live event has
already happened, go ahead and check the
link out on your screen anyway. You can
watch the replay and the training and
still pick up a bunch of those money
angles. So, it's still on the table for
you. Let me move my head right there.
The link is nickponty.ai/AI
masterasterclass. So I do hope to see
you there. Now let's talk about some of
these stats and how big and wide open
this opportunity is for you guys. So
this one shocked me. Okay. More than did
you guys know did you guys know that
more than half of the kids in school
teens in school are using AI chat bots
for school work. Half. That is a crazy
number. That is a staggering number.
Think about this. So the youth, the next
generation that is coming up right now,
we're early, right? Half of them are
already using these tools to get ahead
with their schoolwork. Where do you
think they will be in 2, three, four
years with respects to using AI? Using
it to get their information, help them
grow their business, help them start
their career, help them like run their
everyday life.
What this means,
and I don't know about you guys, but
when I was a kid, not half of the kids
were not on computers. I'm not that old.
I'm 38. But I can tell you right now,
half of the kids were not on computers.
Half of the kids did not have phones
when I was around. And obviously, look
where we're at today. But this is a
shocking number because if half of them
are using chat bots in school to get
ahead right now, then that means the
world, the entire world is obviously
going to be using AI in no time. And we
already know this, but I'm just showing
you this stat to kind of open your mind
as to where we are going and where we're
heading. So, if you are, for example, a
small business and you cannot be found
or you're not being recommended by
ChatGBT, obviously you're missing out.
And in just a couple years, you're going
to be left completely behind if you
don't get on board with this. So, this
opportunity right now for you as someone
to help that is interested in AI to help
small businesses in your area get on
board with what's going on right now.
And it's not that difficult. They just
don't have the time. They don't know
where to start. Your opportunity is
huge. It's massive. And think about
this.
Think about all the business owners that
maybe perhaps you know in your phone
that you could message right now and
say, "Hey,
is Chat GPT recommending your business
for this service?" The vast majority of
them are going to say, "I don't know."
And if you were to say, "I can help you
with that." They would probably say,
"Wow, that would be great." And so
again, how early are we when most
businesses around you don't even know
how to get recommended, right? So half
of the teens in the world or in the US,
whatever. Half I'm in the US, so half of
the teens in the US are using chatbots.
Crazy.
84% and these are all, you know, actual
statistics. This is from the US Chamber
of Commerce.
84% of small businesses plan to increase
their use of technology AI tools and
platforms in their day-to-day operations
to improve efficiency. So again,
do they want to use AI to grow their
business? Yes. Do they know how to? Not
the ones I'm talking to. And I don't
know about you, let me know in the chat
if if you guys are seeing something
different. The ones that I'm talking to
are very interested. I I was at the gym
the other day.
The gym owner came up to me and I was
like, "Man, there's a lot of people
here." He's like, "You're the AI guy."
And I was like, "Yeah." He's like, "I'll
do anything that you want to do." I'm
like, "Okay." I mean, if it doesn't get
much easier than that, I don't know what
to tell you, right? It's crazy because
the gym owner, he's busy creating
workouts, training people, picking his
kids up from school. He's not like you
and me learning how to do this stuff,
you know. And if you can follow
instructions, if you can take actions,
you know, in a lot of my YouTube videos,
I give you strategies that all you have
to do is literally take actions, follow
the steps, you can use tools like Chad
GBT, then you can make it in this
industry because it is so new and people
are so receptive to it right now and
there's so much opportunity. There's so
many people that need help. It's not
like, you know, back in the day, or how
about this? If you were a business back
in the day when websites first became a
thing, if you did not have a website,
think of how long it would take to get
to all the people that needed websites.
Still, there are I think it's like 30%
of the businesses in the US do not have
websites.
How long do you think it will take for
all the businesses to get gobbled up by
somebody to help them with their online
visibility using AI tools? It's going to
take a long time. So, right now, you are
literally I don't want to say shooting
fish in a barrel. You're catching fish
in a barrel, though. You're throwing a
net out there as long as you're talking
about AI and learning stuff from YouTube
right now. Okay. So, 84% of small
businesses plan to increase.
And what does this mean?
I don't know about you guys, but I like
to work with businesses that usually
have a little cash flow. That's how I
make money. They pay me to help them. I
tend to be at a pretty good place in my
career where if somebody is on a super
tight budget, you know, unless they're a
friend or a family member, I'm probably
not going to take them on as a client
because every single, you know, client
that or potential prospect that is on a
very tight budget, they really try to
make every dollar go as far as humanly
possible. So, for that reason, I really
don't take on clients that don't have
some sort of a budget. But business
owners, the healthy businesses, the ones
that have cash flow, those are the ones
that make great clients. And most
business owners have cash flow. If they
didn't, they really wouldn't be in
business. So, if you want to work with
people that have money, focus on
business owners because they usually
have cash flow. And back to this stat,
they usually want to invest that cash
flow into ways to grow their business.
It's a tax write off and they get to
grow their business with it, right? So,
the younger world, the younger
generation is massively adopting AI.
Pretty soon, the entire younger
generation will all be using AI. And if
your business isn't catered to making it
work for them, then, you know,
obviously,
I don't know, then you're not going to
you're basically invisible. 84% of
businesses want to increase and invest
in growing their business with AI. But
check this out. Over 60% of small
business owners struggle with AI
implementation due to lack of technical
expertise and the understanding of
benefits and obviously the data and
security concerns. Uh I had somebody
walking by my house the other day. I was
walking my daughter or walking my dog
and taking my daughter for a walk and
this person came up and was like, "Hey,
what do you what do you do for a
living?" And I was like, "Oh, I do
advertising." and she was like, "Oh, can
you help me with my website?" And I was
like, "Well, yeah. I mean, we build
websites, but that's not really what we
do. You know, we help people get
customer sales and leads through AI
strategies and online visibility
tactics."
And I was like, "But, you know, you can
just have AI build you a website." And
she literally looked at me and said,
"You know, I don't really do the AI."
And just the way that she said that to
me was like I was just like, man, again,
we're so freaking early. I don't do the
AI thing.
People are afraid of it. Data and
security concerns, but I have some
information for you. This is where it
gets this is where it gets really
exciting. People are of afraid of it
still,
but that is changing. That is changing
very fast. And so I don't know if you
guys have ever heard of a man named
Eugene Schwarz. He created a wrote a
book called Breakthrough Advertising and
he gave us these five stages of
awareness. Okay? And these five stages
of awareness basically can tell you
where somebody or an audience is on a
scale of being ready to purchase your
product or your services. So essentially
on the left hand side you have somebody
who is unaware. they aren't aware of
their desire or their need to solve the
problem or they won't honestly admit it.
So, this could be somebody who doesn't
even know AI exists, which at this point
is kind of hard to believe that anybody
is completely unaware. I'm sure there's
a small little percentage, right, is a
little unaware. And on the far end, you
have the most aware, right? They know
that your product is the one that can
help them. They just haven't gotten
around to purchasing it yet. So, what is
exciting about this is, you know,
obviously if people are most aware, they
know that they need it, they know that
they that you have it, and they're just
ready to buy, then that means that
people are very likely to pull out their
wallet and pay you for this thing. And
so, when you have a lot of people that
are very aware,
you have a strong likelihood of making
money, getting cash flow, growing a
business. Now, here's where this is
really exciting. If you have a lot of
people that are unaware that AI could
really help them grow their business,
you're still a ways away, right, of
convincing them, of trusting them. But
look at this. You guys remember uh
couple weeks ago, Super Bowl? Were you
guys there where we had Anthropics Super
Bowl ads being played during um the
Super Bowl? Also, Open AI Chad GBT was
also running ads. Now, the Super Bowl is
arguably one of the biggest televised
sporting events in America, in the
world. And
that same person that said to me, "I
don't really do the AI thing." When they
see these ads, because they're probably
watching the Super Bowl, when they see
these ads that are now more mainstream
to them, they start to think, "Oh, this
AI thing is actually becoming a thing,
right? They're going from being
completely unaware to becoming maybe
more problem aware like oh maybe AI can
solve that problem for me. Maybe I don't
need to hire another person. Maybe I can
automate something with AI. Maybe that
is solution aware. Are they warmed up?
Are they warmed up to knowing that AI
could be the solution to their problem?
And then of course, you know, going to
product aware, maybe Chad GBT, maybe
anthropic, maybe one of these things
could help me. Now, I say all this to
say that these Super Bowl ads, you know,
one of the most televised things out
there for people to watch in America,
they are warming everybody up
through the stages of awareness at a
giant scale. Millions and millions and
millions of people all at once go from
unaware to solution aware to product
aware to most aware. And now you go back
to guys like this who yesterday were
literally paid the invoice, signed the
contract before we could even tell the
team we had a new client coming in in
Slack. Seriously, I'm I'm gonna
hopefully I can find this really quick
for you because um
I think
I have to blur this out for you, but
no, I can't pull it up. Yeah. So, my
sales rep said, you know, he paid the
invoice inside the contract before I
could even tell you guys that he can't
he was coming in as a new client because
he's chomping at the bit because he
knows that he needs this right now,
right? And so, you know, these things
that I'm sharing with you, this
opportunity, these stages of growth and
where we're growing and what I'm calling
business owners
a
a symptom that they're having called AI
guilt. It really increases the
likeliness of starting and growing a
business by helping them use AI tools.
And I have been adopting this for a
couple of years now. And it's one of the
reasons that my company was recognized
as the second fastest growing company in
Hawaii. And this is a a marketing
company, right? We work with small
businesses. This has nothing to do with
YouTube. This has nothing to do with
software sales or any of that other
stuff that I do online. This is this
team. All they do is work with small
businesses in our area in Hawaii in the
mainland. And because of this
opportunity, because of this growth,
because the market is growing in a
awareness,
we are
getting people to be warmed up at a much
faster rate. And I wholeheartedly
believe that right now is the time for
you to lock in and focus on some of this
stuff, which is why I've created the AI
Cash Flow Masterass. It is a live
training tomorrow uh at 2 p.m. Eastern.
You can go to the link that you see in
your screen, nickponty.
Masterclass. Go ahead, save your seat.
It's free. I'm going to be giving some
bonuses, some live bonuses or some
bonuses to the people that show up live
that are very valuable. I am also going
to be giving you the
exact systems that I use to get clients
and grow my business. I'm going to give
you some of the tactics and tools that I
use to specifically grow my company to
the second fastest growing company in
Hawaii. I'm also going to go or show you
how to go from being just somebody who
plays with AI, uses prompts, makes uh
feels like you're doing busy work, but
you don't seem to be getting any deals.
I'm going to be showing you how to turn
that
prompting hacking into cash flow. So, go
to the link that you see on your screen.
I'm excited to see you guys there. I see
a lot of people in the chat. Let me
check real quick before we get out of
here. Uh, somebody says, "I have been
trying for 10 days with no bites. What
am I doing wrong?" Nova, perhaps you are
trying to sell something to someone who
is not sellable. This is something that
we will talk about on the training
tomorrow, but you know, if I were you,
depending on what you're selling, I
don't know what you're selling. I would
only sell a fishing pole to a fisherman.
I would not try to sell a fishing pole
to a construction worker. So, whatever
you're doing to find people that need
whatever it is that you're selling, try
to find a problem, someone who has a
problem and make sure that the solution
you are offering them is the one that
they actually need. And then, of course,
when you actually let them know that
they need it, you have to do so in a way
that has a psychological impact on them
to actually want to say yes. And I
usually do this by packaging up what I'm
selling or giving away as an
irresistible offer. or an offer that is
so good that is difficult for somebody
to say no to. And I'm actually giving
you three of those irresistible offers
at the master class tomorrow. So, if you
want something like that, go there.
nickponty.ai/AI
masterclass. Uh, somebody says, "I need
that training." Well, you can go. It's
free. Uh, somebody says, "Two weeks
before that I had a guy doing sales for
me. He had the same results and walked
away from the business, so I took over
sales." Nova, I'm sure um
I'm sure if you follow along with some
of the tactics I'm giving you, you will
be like some of the other members in my
community who are regularly in here
posting wins. This is my community. It's
AI control room. It's a free community.
You know, Richie Cronin here. Uh $1,200.
These are action takers, by the way. You
can come in here and look at these wins
on your own. It's live. It's free.
Somebody says, "I've learned more
protocols and specifications in the last
12 months than I have in the past
decade." I'm I'm with you. And I feel
like that we will look back on this time
and be like, man, remember when the boom
was taking off and we were hunkered
down, focused, locked in, learning the
things that we are learning right now,
and taking action on those things,
putting money in the piggy bank, growing
what we I mean, that's what I feel like.
I'm literally growing this thing for me
and my family right now. And I know that
I'll look back and be like, man, I'm so
glad I sacrificed. I invested time. It
wasn't even that hard. I just had to
actually spend the time doing it. And
right now is that moment. These moments
only come around, I don't know, a couple
times in a lifetime, maybe even once. I
believe this is one of the biggest and
everybody else is saying it. People that
are way smarter than me that are saying
it, you know, take it from them. Don't
take it from me. But what you can take
from me, I'm just a regular guy. And
what I know how to do is I know how to
get clients. I know how to get small
businesses to pay me for these AI
marketing services that you can learn in
hours, not weeks, not months, not years,
hours. And that is what I have for you
in the AI cash flow master class.
Somebody says desperate. That's a little
exaggerated. Don't you think? I No, I
don't think it's it's uh exaggerated.
Like I said, I'm talking to private
chef, house cleaner, um AC guys,
gym owners.
What do I need to do to take advantage
of AI? These people are telling me they
don't know where to start. So, I I don't
think it's clickbait, honestly. I see
people in chat saying, "I agree."
Somebody says, "Thank you for all the
free value. I've learned a lot from you
over the years, and it was helped me
secure plenty of work." I appreciate
that. Andrew says, "I love it." Do it
says, "Thank you, Nick." Unsecure says,
"Thank you, Nick." Uh, Nova says, "I'm
glad you were showing me not to give
up." And you know what? Uh, I see you
guys in the chat. Let me let me paste
the link right now for you for the
master classes for my people that are
here live. It's free. You can go there
now and sign up. Somebody says, "I'm
starting with my AI business to get some
quick cash. I've created an agent that
creates websites and attempting to sell
them, but I feel like I'm ignoring AI
automation. What should I do?" Um,
again, find people that need a website.
There's no use in giving somebody an
opportunity to buy a website from you if
they already have a website. So, just
make sure that they have the problem of
not having a website or they have a
crappy website or a broken website and
your solution is the one that solves it.
And if you can build a list of people
that don't have websites, then you can
automate the the delivery of those
websites. So, you know, just zoom out a
little bit and you know, break it down.
This is this is the type of stuff that
we talk about in my Facebook group or
that's not a Facebook group, sorry, in
my Go Collab community, the control
room. You know, if you guys need ongoing
strategy, that's a good place to ask
those types of questions. Somebody says,
"Nick is a real deal. He has a
successful business in Hawaii." Yes, I
do. You can look me up. My company's
called Minor Marketing. Second fastest
growing company in Hawaii, ranked by a
uh Pacific Business News. And we
experienced like a 254%
growth rate year-over-year for 3 years
as we started to adopt AI strategies and
tactics and tools. Somebody says, "I'm a
complete newbie. I will start from zero
and we'll be documenting my journey into
that's what I would do. That's what I I
mean basically what I did, right? I
mean, I've been doing this for a
decade." Um, and I started making videos
I don't know seven years ago, not on
YouTube, but like to people that I
thought that I could help. And I've, you
know, amassed a pretty big following.
Like if you I mean big following follow
big following in the sense of my group,
my community members. I have over 3,000
success stories of people following my
tactics and strategies. And in the
group, we have verified and documented
over $5 million in revenue by group
members, not just me, of working with
small businesses and getting clients and
tactics. So, um, you know, all I've done
along the way throughout my career, you
guys, is to just show people what I'm
actually doing to grow my business. And
because of that, because the stuff I'm
doing actually works and it's relevant
and it's fresh,
people like it, people absorb it. And,
you know, one other thing that I want to
mention too, cuz I was thinking about
this the other day. I was watching a
YouTube video from a guy who was like,
"I'm an expert. I'm an expert at AI
marketing. I built an agency and exited
it 5 years ago. I thought to myself,
man, the information this guy has is
probably so damn outdated. He has
information on growing a business before
the AI boom even started. Does he even
really know what he's doing? Like the
things that we face today, the
challenges are so much different than
somebody who is not relevant and has 5
years since passed
now selling information. So, one of the
most important things that I think right
now for you people, for people in my
channel community, is to be able to
filter out the bad information.
There's a lot of bad information out
there. Your ability, your your goal now
is to not consume as much information as
you can. It's to only consume the
information that has a high likeliness
to actually help you grow your business
and take you to where you want to get
to, to reach your goals.
Filter out the noise. How do you filter
out the noise? Make sure the people that
you are following are actually doing the
things that they are sharing with you,
talking about. Bruce says, "I just
signed up." Bruce, I'll see you at the
master class, man. Looking forward to
it. Uh, someone says, "I don't even know
how to make a website." Lit. I will show
you how to make a website in the master
class with three clicks of a button. You
do not need to be a techno expert. AI is
so damn incredible. Somebody says, "I'm
a complete newbie. I will start from
zero." I read that one. What's the
hardest part to master in your opinion?
Uh the discipline of showing up every
day and working on your business. Most
people can't do that. If you can show
up, even if it's, you know, half an
hour, an hour every single day, that's
the most difficult piece. And if people
just did that, especially right now with
where we are at in the market with
everybody warming up to being most aware
at an incredible rate, it would be
really hard to not be successful.
Somebody says, "Nick, I tried reaching
some plumbing businesses and dentists on
email and Facebook and send them a link
to a custom website which they could not
which they could buy immediately." No
respon no response. Anything else? Did
they not have a website? Did they
already have a website? I already kind
of covered this. Only send website
offers to people that don't have
websites.
Somebody says, "AI is the way. We have a
huge opportunity just to be able to
understand what we're doing ahead of the
game." Thanks, Nick. Somebody says,
"What's the name of the group? AI
control room. How do I get there again?"
Uh, I'll put the I'll put the link in
the chat for you. So, I you guys, I
didn't intend for this to be that long a
video. Looks like how many people are
actually here on this live stream right
now. Um, I just kind of intended this to
just be a quick video showing you guys
the stages of awareness, where we're at,
and why I'm excited with some of these
stats and metrics, but it looks like you
guys have a lot of questions, which, you
know, I'm always down to help out as
much as I can. Um, but let me know how
many people are here because I do want
to be respectful of people's time and
not just kind of like hang out for too
long and
waste any time. I just put a link in the
control for the uh to join the control
room. There is kind of a a bug right now
going on with the control room which you
know if for some reason when I click on
this it glitches out. I have a ticket in
there but uh the workaround right now is
if you open any post in a new tab you
can then read it. But yeah,
cool. 67 people. Right on you guys.
Well, uh, I'm looking forward to seeing
you at the Cash Flow Master Class.
Again, if you're watching the replay of
this video, you can go to this link
anyway. You can watch the replay of it.
Somebody else says there's 197 people
here
rather than 67. That's a big difference.
Uh, Munes and Andrew Boy,
Anna. Okay, look. Ann, I'm going to do
this for you. Somebody says, "How do you
when do you show the three clicks to
make a site?" Look, I'm going to give
you oneclick quick little thing. Okay, I
use a tool. It's called Go High Level.
If you want 30 days free to it, I will
give you a link right here in the chat.
Okay, you can use this tool for free for
30 days. I'm not going to go into the
in-depth of what this thing does, but
essentially it is my software suite of
tools that I use to get clients and grow
my business. Yes, hit the like if you're
getting some value out of this video.
Now, I use this tool to build websites,
send emails, create AI agents. You can
see all these little tabs on the lefth
hand side. AI agents, I can send
invoices, collect payments. When I
started using this tool, I was able to
cancel like cancel like 30 other tools
and save a lot of money just because
this tool does everything for me. Now,
if you want to build a website, all you
have to do is go to the sites section
and click websites. And this is where
it's going to take three clicks. You can
either use build with AI. Let me move my
little screen here for you. You can
either build with AI or you can hit new
website and click from a template. I
like the template option because there's
thousands of templates in almost every
industry. You can see automotive,
business, fashion, health and wellness,
real estate, restaurant. So if I wanted
to build a website for a I don't know a
a yoga yoga shala, what do you call it?
a wellness journey, a coach, power yoga
class, or how about a real estate agent?
If I wanted to do that, I would just
come here and I would click choose
template.
That was two buttons. Two buttons, three
buttons,
and it's built. And I'm not a technical
expert. I don't need to be a technical
expert. All I need to do is be able to
follow the directions. This tool is the
best tool out there for taking AI,
taking complex AI, packaging it up, and
selling it and using it to small
businesses.
And so you can see that this website is
far better than anything that I could
have ever built.
I'm not really sure what this piece is.
I think it's a popup.
Maybe it was dragged somewhere.
But look, there's a link right here for
you to actually be able to preview it.
It's already live. I mean,
this is a way better website that you
and I could have ever built. And it was
done in just a couple of clicks. And now
all you have to do if you want to edit
this stuff is click and drag. It's
already set up there. You can use the AI
wizard on the lefth hand side to change
and make your requests. If you don't
want to do them yourselves, you can have
it change the navigation menu, change
the images, write content, all these
things. So, you can see how easy that is
using the AI wizard, right? So, this
tool, 30 days free. I put a link in the
chat. It's a there's a link in the
description. If you sign up for the 30
days for free, yes,
I do get a commission if you stay past
the 30 days. If you don't stay past the
30 days, I don't get a commission. So,
just know that the bonuses and the
training that I give you when you sign
up through my link are all designed to
actually help you be successful with
this thing because I do want to get paid
and I do want to see you be successful.
So, just know that our goals and our
incentives are aligned. Okay, so um
there's a lot of people here, so I'm
going to keep answering some questions
before
until they kind of stop. Somebody says,
"Watching from Scotland. Love your
videos." Thank you. I appreciate you
tuning in from Scotland. I'm I'm a
little Scottish, I think. Ask one last
question. Agarth, Argud.
One more. I'm a senior engineer and have
about 3 months saved in life expenses.
I've started the AI business. I've been
asking earlier. Should I quit my job and
fully focus on my AI business? Uh 3
months of of safety net is good, but I
think you should verify your proof of
concept for your business. So, I would
say like you want to at least get a
couple clients. I don't know how you got
that 3 months of living expenses, but
for me, uh I got 6 months of living
expense. I actually I mean I got fired.
I used to be a mechanic. I got fired
from my other job. Um but I had saved up
about 6 months of living expenses and
then I got my first client which was a
bike shop and the next one which was a
makeup company, somebody else. Um but
once I sold like three or four people, I
was like, "Okay, I can do this." So, I
wouldn't recommend just quitting your
job if you've never actually like gotten
a client before. So, it's two parts,
right? Um, have a nest egg and then also
have your proof of concept. Somebody
says, "I'm signing up to your go high
level link today." Done. Awesome.
Somebody says, "Nick, snap JT Tomkins.
Snapshots from Nick." Snapshots. It's my
bonus. So, when you sign up to high
level through me, you get what's called
my snapshot, which is like my template
installation of like websites,
automations, and things like that.
Somebody says, "Good looking out, Nick.
Your help means a lot. Real real
recognition. You are the bomb. Learning
so much from you." Thank you, God, Nick.
God bless you. Just signed up for the AI
master class. How do we transfer the
info to the restaurant owner? I saw
something a gal was showing using
Lovable, but she said to buy the domain,
then transfer it to the new website
owner. Um,
so there's a couple different ways to do
that. I if somebody doesn't have a
domain, I just tell them to go buy the
domain and then give me access and then
I can connect the website to the domain.
And if you want to do that, all you have
to do is go to go highle and type in or
go to Google and type in ghl connect
domain. And one of the beautiful things
you guys about highlevel is they have a
free completely open support portal that
has step-by-step instructions, videos,
screenshots on everything you need to
know on how to use this tool. like it,
you know, if I have good training, they
have great training on their tool and
they have an incredible support team.
So, you know, I just recommend that
usually people buy their own domain and
then we just connect it to the tool. Um,
and if they already own a domain, then
same thing like you just connect it this
way. I'm not going to waste my time
talking about DNS and pointing domains
in this video, though. Somebody says,
"Can you do a live step by step?" Maybe
come to the master class tomorrow, ask
your questions there. I'm going to be
spending a lot more time with you guys.
Somebody says, "What's your view on
Clawbot and using it as an agent?" Uh,
I'm getting some pretty good activity
right now. I have some uh uh I have some
super Let me see if I have a screenshot
of it handy. I have some super secret
squirrel stuff that I'm working on
behind the scenes.
Automatic prospecting, automatic finding
businesses that need something that we
can offer them. Um, so I I'm liking it,
but what I don't like about it is
installing it on my computer or a demo
computer. So, I have recently found a
way to spin up a Claudebot bot in the
cloud and I'm using it in the cloud to
do the things that I want because I'm a
little afraid of the security risk. So,
I do it that way. Somebody says, "I have
a huge package. I put together
compliance for the relevant US states,
seven states, 11 laws, over 100
templates is literally everyday
deliverable. How do I sell it?"
I don't know. How How do I You want me
to tell you? That's That's pretty crazy.
find people that need compliance issues
and then give them an irresistible
offer. So, you know, who is your you got
to identify who your target customer is.
That's the first step. You know, if if
you don't know who your target customer
is, then you're not very clear on where
how where they live, how you're going to
find them. You know, for example,
if I am um a roofer and I am trying to
get people that need a new roof
installation, you know,
they're those people that need roof
installations, where do they go to
search for a roofer?
Do they like if I have a leak in my roof
right now and there's freaking water
flooding out this office,
am I going to go to Instagram to go find
a roofer? No. I'm going to go to Google.
I'm going to go to Google. So, that is a
roofer. Their leads live in Google. So,
your compliance issue people, where do
those leads live? And then unpack your
strategy from there.
Andrew says the numbers he talking about
the deals he's closing. The man is
living in Hawaii. I am living in Hawaii.
Hawaii is I'm pretty sure I mean I've
lived in New York City in Manhattan in a
penthouse in the financial district.
I think Hawaii is more expensive than
there. I honestly do. It's very close,
but Hawaii now with everything going on,
Hawaii is more expensive. It's are it's
one is either New York City, Manhattan,
or Hawaii are the two most expensive
places to live in the United States. I
definitely live in Hawaii. Not only do I
live in Hawaii, I'm a real estate
investor here. I've got, I think, seven
real estate wins in my portfolio. And
that has come from my work in the
digital marketing world, you guys. I've
taken the money that I've made from this
even when here's here's a crazy thing to
think about. Okay, I got started about
10 years ago and I was late to the game.
People were already aware that Google
and Facebook were great ways to grow
their business and I came in years late.
I remember seeing other people like
having these amazing great businesses
and uh I was like, "Oh man, I'm never
going to be successful." You know,
people are already crushing it. I wish I
I wish I had, you know, gotten into
search engine optimization sooner or
running Facebook ads sooner, but I just
wasn't there, right? I wasn't I w I
wasn't there. However, right now with
AI, you are here in the most perfect
moment. You have 40% of the kids in in
the United States are using chat bots to
do their homework. In the next couple
years, they're going to be using it to
run their life. 84% of small businesses
plan to increase their use of technology
with AI. Over 60% of businesses don't
know how to do that. Half the business,
more than half the businesses need your
help right now. So, the opportunity is
wide open compared to when I got
started. And so, I'm I brought this up
because I got started at a time that it
was much more difficult to bring in a
sale. And I still managed to be
successful because I was disciplined
enough to show up every day and grow my
business. And that allowed me to become,
you know, live in Hawaii, invest in real
estate, and live uh what I call
lifestyle business, build a lifestyle
business, which is pretty sick type of
business to grow. So, if you guys are
interested in that, that's what we're
going to be talking about at the AI Cash
Flow Masterclass. Nickponty.aiclass.
Tomorrow, we'll be going I I've been
working on my presentation, you guys,
for the better part of three weeks.
Every time somebody's asked me to do
something, I'm like, "No, I got to work
on this. I got to work on this. I got to
work on this. After this call, I'm going
to work on my presentation some more.
You want to know why? Cuz I suck at
presenting. I'm like not a masterful
presenter, but I can talk about the
things that I'm passionate about, which
are getting clients, using AI, and
growing my business business. And so, if
you get me some slides, this is why I
make slides for all my videos, cuz I
suck at presenting. I need talking
points. And so I've been working on my
slides like crazy because I want to make
sure that I deliver as much value as
possible because I take your guys' time
and attention very seriously and I know
you're here with me right now which is
why I want to, you know, make sure I'm
answering your questions. But I do hope
that you guys will show up live.
Somebody says you won't get any tears
from me. Open claw using a VPS cloud
hosting or as a ticket sounds like um
kind of. We're going to talk more about
that don't worry. Somebody says how are
you able to manage all the things you
do? I don't know. I
I'm pretty militant with my schedule and
the things that I do. So, you have to be
protective of your time. I'm very
protective of my time. Somebody says, "I
use an AI agent to answer all my calls
from my JT Jay Tomkin." That's pretty
funny. Uh, and DNS is easy. Don't let it
scare. Yeah, DNS is easy. Um, you know,
High Level has a walkthrough tutorial.
If you ever need an an expert, like
let's say you're like on your own,
you're like, I'm struggling. How do I
figure out the DNS or a website uh I
need a website developer or somebody,
just go to upwork.com and you can hire a
web designer right here or a web
developer, a mobile, you know, whatever
web developer right there. They can help
you with that stuff and they'll charge
you an hourly rate. Like you have
options. Just know that you have
options. Don't let that fear stop you
from taking action, okay?
Time is a spiritual conser currency. You
guys, if you have any last questions
before we get out of here, let me know.
Put them in the chat. Let me know if
you've signed up to the cash flow master
class. This is the link. I got to move
it above my talking head. Here's the
link. Bing, bing, bing, bing. Let me
know if you signed up.
I look forward to seeing you there.
We're going to be talking about how to
get clients, how to grow your business,
how to save time. I'm going to be giving
you some incredible
prompts that I've never released before
on building the most high valuable lists
possible of people that are fitting this
criteria. 60% of business owners that
need your help.
Somebody says, "I need a research team."
No, you don't. AI is your research team.
I use perplexity for my research team.
How do you get rid of distractions and
make priorities? Look, I, you know,
distractions. I have distractions. Um, I
think everybody does. You just got to
keep saying no to them and build up that
tolerance. Understand how to make it
difficult for you to not be distracted.
You know, on my phone, I use an app
called Opel. Opel. It blocks all the
apps on my phone. So every time I like
I'm like, "Oh, I want to open up my
social media." It's blocked. I can't do
it, you know. So I make it difficult to
take the easy way out. When I want to
work my presentation, my slides that I
need to work on by deadline tomorrow,
I will open up a new desktop screen. I
use Apple. Don't hate me if you're
Android.
I will open up a new desktop window that
doesn't have Slack, email, the other
desktops, the tabs, the YouTubes, the
blah blah blah blah blah because I know
if I have those open, it's so easily to
be distracted. You know, you have the
most smartest people in the world
building these tools and apps designed
to keep you there. Of course, they're
going to keep you there. They're
designed that way. So, you have to make
it difficult. You have to make it
difficult for yourself to not be
distracted.
Somebody says, "I signed." Lots of
people signed up. I love that. Most
people use AI wrong. I completely agree.
Registered. You need to learn squirrel.
Do you use Olama hugging face perplexing
notion? So, actually tomorrow I'm going
to be showing you guys where
my entire AI stack of all the tools and
how I use them, what I use them for. For
the first time ever, I I've never
released that. Somebody says, "I have
signed up." And the last question,
should I create my own products first
before pitching clients or should I
build them on the fly after? Look, you
showed up. Tomorrow you're going to see
exactly what to do this. Tomorrow, I'm
going to show you how to grow your
business using other people's money. So,
you never have to come out of pocket.
And it involves getting clients first.
The first thing you need to do is get
money. Collect the money. Things change
once you actually start collecting some
money and growing your business. And I
discovered this because my back was
against the wall when I was starting my
business and I needed to pay my rent,
right? So, every time I needed to pay my
rent, I had to get a client. That's why
I really started to focus on trying to
get subscription-based clients. Clients
that pay me thousands or, you know, even
hundreds per month, but they pay me
month after month, the same day. this
client's going to pay me $1,000 on March
2nd, next month, and the next month, and
the next month, and so think about what
having that type of cash flow would
actually do to your ability to make
decisions about your life or your
business. You have more than just a nest
egg. You have predictability in your
cash flow, which will allow you to say
things like, "Maybe I should get that
car. Maybe I should send my kid to that
school. Maybe I should move over there."
But until you have that cash flow thing
figured out, you can't really think that
way. And so that is a huge shift, which
is why we're going to be talking about
on the AI cash flow masterass, how to
get monthly recurring deals. I had to
blur this out because YouTube will
censor it.
Uh, somebody says, "What time is that
live tomorrow?" It's at 2:00 p.m.
Eastern.
Somebody says, "Do I still have time to
get into?" Yes, Ben Schultz, you 1,000%
have time to get into a like again,
almost every single business I talk to
right now, they want to be recommended
in chat GBT and Gemini, but they have no
idea how to do that. It is a blue ocean.
Somebody says, "How do you charge?" I'm
going to be I'm going to be sharing
where you guys can get my entire company
pricing menu. I have a pricing. Where do
I have my pricing menu here? I'm going
to show you. What do I have here?
H
I have my pricing menu
that I'm going to be sharing
on
the master class.
I've never I've never 20. It's It's the
uh 2026
AI edition.
Trying to pull it up in Slack.
Pricing minor minor pressure.
Here we go.
Preview.
Sorry guys. So my operations manager at
the agency, he is regularly reworking
the pricing at the agency because the
landscape is moving very fast, right?
And so
um I only want to share the most
up-to-date
pricing sheet and again like I said it's
changing very quick regularly. So, you
know, this is give you a little sneak
peek.
Let me pull it up for you.
Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll,
scroll, scroll. You're not It's not
meant to uh share all at once to
somebody, but those are all the
different pieces. So, like if you want
to pitch AI growth to somebody, you just
show them the three packages that we
offer. You don't want to give somebody
too many options. You just want them to
check pick one, two, or three. And
that's exactly um what happened
yesterday when we closed this deal. Uh
the guy just picked 1 2 or three. And I
know that because
um the emails chain I I like reviewed
the email chain from
from the client
and my sales rep and he was like, I want
the one in the middle. Let's add the
middle one here. Actually, I just found
that screenshot so I can share this with
you guys as long as I blur out the
information because it's an actual live
client. Sensitive information. I don't
want that to be revealed.
Um,
let's see here.
Here we go. So, with your pricing, he
says, "Let's add the middle one for
1,000 a month." Boom. You don't want to
give him too many options. Okay. And
cash says, "I miss Kapalua." Yeah, Kaplu
is a pretty nice place. Like playing
golf over there. Wow, you guys are all
about Hawaii. I love it. Choke change.
He's on Maui. Where are you at? Uh JT
mechanic turned entrepreneur. Great
success story. Yep. I My dad was a
mechanic. His dad was a mechanic. I'm a
mechanic. My brother is a mechanic. He
was just in our jeans to work on our
cars. Somebody says exactly what I'm
pivoting to. Turn the engine into a
service for all.
When you build a site for a client, they
want maintenance to change phone numbers
or info and they want us to do Yeah. So,
you just charge for that. You don't do
anything for free. It's a nice
opportunity to get paid. Okay, you guys.
I've been here for a while. I appreciate
you all being here. Uh, like and
subscribe. Consider sharing this video
with a friend who should get going with
this business model. If you haven't
already, sign up for the AI masterclass.
nickponty.ai/AI

things, some interests, some things that
we're going to be talking about
tomorrow. Again, I've been working on my
slides.
I don't I don't Somebody says the link
is not working. I mean, it's working for
me. I pulled it up. I just put it in the
chat again for you. You can check it
out. I'll put in the description of the
video beyond this. And um
mahalo guys. Appreciate you all being
here.
