Creator Leverage: Master AI. Build Systems. Grow Your Business

9/10 people use AI like a search engine. They ask a generic question... And they get a super encouraging answer. (Probably scraped off Reddit or an internet forum). But the top 10% treat it like a collaborative partner. They ask better questions. And they do it with the quesiton interaction prompt Instead of guessing what to ask or prompt, force the AI to do the heavy lifting for you. Next time you are stuck, paste your draft as usual. Then, add this single line: "Rather than answering,...

I just wrapped up 3 weeks of intensive AI coding experiments. While everyone's debating whether AI will replace developers, I decided to test it myself. Here's what I actually built and what surprised me: What I Built: A portfolio tracker with IBKR integration (Python + Telegram alerts) Three business automation scripts using Claude Code A complete Zettelkasten CLI system for rapid note capture Deployed multiple projects to VPS using cursor CLI The Reality Check: AI didn't replace thinking -...

I built a Telegram bot in 15 minutes with Clawdbot. Then, I deleted everything. Clawdbot (now rebranded as Moltbot after legal issues with a certain AI vendor) is the latest rage in AI automation. It's aersonal AI assistant. You can use it to send emails, manage calendar, interact with online services. All from the command line. I built an interactive Telegram bot that gave me updates on my calendar, email and coding projects. 15 minutes from zero to working bot. But I uninstalled it after a...

I spent last week rebuilding my entire note-taking workflow around Claude Code. Not because I’m an AI fanboy. Because I got tired of my note-taking system breaking down. I was capturing daily notes in Apple Notes (for mobile), storing permanent notes in Zettelkasten (for thinking), and trying to connect them manually every week. Then I took a Claude course and realized something obvious: AI doesn’t need pretty interfaces. It needs raw data. So I moved everything to plain text or MD files. Now...

When I want to learn a new topic (say coding)... I don't just Google it or ask ChatGPT I "prime" Gemini or Claude to become my personal mentor. The secret isn't just asking AI for generic info. If I tell AI to be a "Prompt Engineer," it gives me boring facts. If I tell AI to be a "World-class prompt engineer or coder," it gives me insights I can use. Here is the workflow: 𝟭. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲) Don't just ask the question. Assign the persona. You need to demand clarity and analogies to...

I’m in the middle of a training block for a 50k race. My coach is great… But sometimes I need to generate a specific workout on the fly when life gets in the way. I used to ask ChatGPT: “Give me a conditioning workout.” And it would spit out a wall of text. Sometimes it was a CrossFit WOD. Sometimes it was a bodybuilding split. It was messy, not useful. So, I started using the Template Pattern. It sounds fancy, but it’s just a way of putting a straitjacket on the AI. I tell the AI exactly...

My new favourite teacher is a robot. Earlier this month, I decided to geek out on a new skill: Python for Finance. I’ve traded options on and off for a while now. I even enjoy the thrill of the “Wheel Strategy” (a strategy for generating income from stocks). But Python? That's more challenging. A few years ago, I would have quit. Or I would have spent hours falling down a YouTube rabbit hole, trying to figure out what a "float" is. Enter Google Guided Learning. It’s a new feature inside...
