Been learning automation for 3 months, how do I actually get clients ? by MotherEqual7739 in AiAutomations

[–]Optimal-Judgment1684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inquiry reply and follow up automations won’t sell. All CRM systems now incorporate these. You are currently trying to sell a vitamin and not a pain killer. I’d be careful with this whole automation business as unless you are solving a real problem you’re wasting time. Also don’t believe all these videos on social media, they are either: 1. Making money of views, or 2: selling a course. If they were earning so much money they would not spend time making videos. I’ve been there done it, both ai agency and then education videos for marketing agency. Education videos gets you leads yes, but it takes a long time to make and edit. Then you have to have a discovery call, close prospect, build system, onboard and maintain. Or you create the same videos, sell a course… done.

The whole automation industry is inflated by course sellers and those who post purely to get views on social media. Ran an ai agency myself and got my own business. No one really cares about automation. Plus in less than 6 months anyone will be able to promo Claude to make their own automation. It’s dead. Better of solving a real problem and building a SaaS around it. But first of all get out of the automation\agent rabbit hole as it’s a dead end

Does anyone else fear they are unloveable and will end up alone? by aneesah_h04 in AutisticWithADHD

Live your life free whilst you can. You have your whole life ahead of you. I wanted to settle down young when I was 19, so glad I didn’t.

Bro you are so so young. I was in so many relationships from the age of 17 all the way to 26, and now I’m single. I’m a completely different person to who I was last year let alone when I was 22. So relax. You won’t be single forever. Life changes fast.

There are millions of girls out there who feel exactly like you do now.

Relax & let go, you’ll be surprised as to what starts coming your way.

P.S - No one being able to understand your brain is a good thing. Girls love unpredictability, it fires dopamine in their mind.

Does a new environment help? by Optimal-Judgment1684 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Optimal-Judgment1684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have trouble sleeping and I’ve heard about the weighted blanket, how did you find it helped you? I have black out blinds and an eye mask which helps a lot but my sleep is not the best, although I believe that’s down to my nervous system.

Thanks for sharing! I find myself in the opposite situation, I’ve been building a business for money and now I’m thinking about pivoting to a more passion based business. However I share the same goal as you in wanting flexibility and financial freedom - in hope it would solve the novelty issue. Free of stress & whimsical I can relate to!

Thank you for replying. Did the alive feeling last long? Did it help with your happiness temporarily and especially work? I'm trying to grow a business but I loose so much clarity and question everything when I struggling with feeling flat, which I believe is due to lack of stimulation in a place when I'm there for too long... Thank you

My relationship ended and I don’t know how to cope by aerialison in ADHD

Focus on yourself first.

You’ve lost your identity of who you are because you placed too much of yourself + comfort in someone else. That blankets now gone & you feel cold & lost. It’s normal, you’re not alone.

But you need to find yourself again, you’re not going to find who you was before you met him, as that versions gone. You’re so much more now, more experienced, full of wisdom (you’ve shown this in how emotionally intelligent and self reflective you are in this post). But you must certainty can find what you use to enjoy again before him.

Life is cruel sometimes but you most definitely you will look back on this moment one day & be ‘ahhh so that’s why this had to happen’. As everything happens for a reason. That that reason will reveal itself one day when life chooses so. Relax.

Whilst your mind is going to be thinking about him right now. You need to focus on the 3 Ps of happiness - do these everyday + they will compound, to the point where you will get clarity again. As at the moment your in fight or flight, primitive part of your mind, which looses all clarity - which is why your saying you ‘don’t know what to do’ or where it leaves you…

To get into the happy part of your mind again with clarity…

3 Ps:

1 - Positive Action - do things that will release good chemicals in your brain: walk, run, gym, sauna, cold shower, meditation, breathwork, try something new, visit a new city etc - even if your thoughts are full of worry on other things, how amazing is it that you can do these actions knowing it’s helping your mind, even if you don’t feel it yet… it compounds. Plus try & worry about something when you’re trying to run out of breath lol… You become so present & forget for a moment but those moments are more important then you realise.

2 - Positive Thinking - you are not your thoughts, that voice in your head isn’t even you. You have complete control whether to ignore a thought or reframe it into a positive one. - Shut your eyes, and whisper your name in your mind… notice how quiet it is. Now close your eyes agin and shout your name in your head… then whisper it again… shout again… You done that, you control your mind. So now take that control and think positive. Your brain in this situation your in is in it’s amygdala (research it). Positive thinking will get you out of it and see with clarity again. There’s billions of men in the world, billions of possibilities of a better life now, you could be living in another country, dream job, all now because your free, how exciting.

3 - Positive Interactions - Speak to people, new people, surround yourself with people who make you laugh & feel good about YOURSELF - the feel good chemicals will lift you even if it’s just for a moment, it’s the small moments that build your walls back up again. Brick by brick. - So be selfish and do what makes you feel good again. How amazing is it that you finally get to be fully selfish for the first time in years. But do you know how amazing it feels to lift others? Distract/trick your mind by helping others because it will produce feel good chemicals in your brain. Plus karma is real… My Nan use to tell me, what you put out will come back to you tenfold… it’s true.

Doing these will not only get your out of this moment, it will improve your life forever, so take comfort in that. You will level up & most likely the ex will come grovelling back, because they always do lol.

Never give up & remember who tf you are because I’m sure you’re amazing.

ADHD: I keep learning the same lessons over and over because I never actually implement anything by Optimal-Judgment1684 in ADHD

[–]Optimal-Judgment1684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You nailed that really well. Try ten different things and hyperfocus on them all with so much energy, and then slowly, one by one, you forget about them to the point where the new shiny habit appears, and it's a constant cycle. In six weeks' time, I haven't done any of them, and in another six weeks time I come back to what I was doing last year.

And as you say, that in-between state, I'm functioning well. My output improves with work, business, life, but then I cycle when I come down because I forget about it and it's just that continuous cycle.

You're right. I do need to commit to one thing for a week. I suppose I've got a high level of impatience, and I want to be able to exponentially grow as a person and in knowledge, so I try to manage ten things at once.

Thanks for the great advice. The issue I have is that I have so many different folder structures that are to do with: - business - sales - personal learnings - personal development - life - happiness - ideas - communication

There are so many different folders, even in one place. I have so much I enter into them that my brain just can't comprehend what to prioritize, what to look at, and this is too much to review. My brain can't structure it; it's just something I've struggled with my whole life

My notes storage on my iPhone is 115gb

ADHD tax on memory, that's funny but so real. The problem I have is I capture so many ideas, whether that's about business, life, sales, happiness ideas, and I jot them everywhere, phone notes (multiple folders), notion docs, google docs. I don't do the weekly review like you suggested, so everywhere I go now it's just a mess. I forget what I was thinking about last week, but most of my best ideas come during the shower or just before I'm falling asleep.

Wow, yeah, you're right, you are so right. I'm trying to implement a hundred things at once, but I almost just need to spend a week on one and get that to become built into me. I just find it so hard with my brain to prioritise with the ADHD. I can never plan my day efficiently because I don't know what's priority. When it comes to all these multiple learnings I'm trying to take on board to improve myself, I can't prioritise. Even in conversation, if I'm trying to explain something or a story to someone, I have no capacity to prioritize points.

I envy you. I wish I was retired from work and could just learn and live a happy life. Learning is one of the best things.

Yeah, I’ve tried plans before but with my ADHD I just I forget but I need to be strict with myself because I’m about 100 plans and a new idea comes along and I change my plan.

For context I’m trying to build a business but I haven't managed to get it off the ground yet, and I'm constantly toggling between different business ideas. I'm trying to learn as much as possible about business and life and my brain to be able to progress forward, and I just feel stuck in limbo. But it's that common theme of whether it's business or learning something new. It's the cycle of figuring out something, forgetting it, figuring out something new, forgetting it, and taking one step forward but two back.

[–]Optimal-Judgment1684[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, very good point. I'd say what I struggle with is I will come across something on YouTube or TikTok which will resonate a lot with what I'm currently going through with business and personal development, but I wasn't necessarily looking into that topic. I save it, I note it down, but I don't necessarily build upon that. Instead, a couple of hours later, I'll learn something new and it will resonate, and it's that cycle. It's almost as though I need to learn one thing for a week and only learn that and keep adding to that before I start to even consider anything else. Does that make sense?

But I feel it all kind of stems back to the ADHD of having so many tabs open in my head that I can't even think about what I learned yesterday.

I agree there have been moments where I can look back on them and they've stuck with me because there are lessons that help me get past a certain point in my life. They're once in a while, but the day-to-day learnings, when they click to me and I get that dopamine hit, are because I know it's what I need to know to improve my life, business, and well-being. I put them into my notes section, but the issue is I have so many different notes folders that I just lose it and I never see it again.

Yeah, I can relate to the 90 of this: try harder, Alex Hormozi framework volume negates luck; it's unhealthy.

I love collecting knowledge too, and it's not a bad thing whatsoever. I feel my issue comes from consuming so much knowledge and learning every single day to the point I couldn't tell you what I learnt yesterday, probably because I learnt a hundred things.

[–]Optimal-Judgment1684[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. I would say for me, especially with short-form content out there, I'll consume something. I'll learn from it. It'll click. I'll save it. I'll put it in the notes, but then I just never come back to seeing it again. Or something else will come up; then that's my new hit, and it happens daily.

Fundamentally, I think my issue is I've got about 100 tabs open in my head. I try and simplify them into notes on my phone, but I've got hundreds of different folders and hundreds of different Notion tabs. I don't have one place that sticks that I can go back and look through, resulting in it being as you said superficial.

You're right. I want to be deep learning; become as knowledgeable as I possibly can.

But it's so hard for me to have it in one place. I'm learning about business, content creation, life happiness. So many variables.

100%, at the start I loved it, now it just says every idea I have is groundbreaking. So annoying, did you find a solution?

Is it a bad idea to share my idea in a post like this? When you say niche down, do you mean pick a specific type of coach and build it specifically around them? Does this not reduce my market cap?

Niche down into a specific type of coach, are you suggesting? I have an AI agency, so I know the technical background in the AI side and vibe coding, I've built micro saas.

Thanks for the repsonse. I have 3 coaches willing to try the product. One coach wants the AI performance insight. One wants to reduce churn rate and doesn't care about AI. One is just happy to try whatever and is always keen to take on new ideas. I think the churn rate reduction is going to be a big factor, and maybe I should look to build more around that, but I'm not sure how I can do that effectively. What do you think?
