Creating consistent quality content is hard.
But it doesn't have to be.
My AI automation-powered system helps me:
⦾ Beat writer's block
⦾ Create 3x faster
⦾ Auto-repurpose across platforms
Now I save 5-10 hours/week for what matters.
Here's how it works 👇

Hard work ≠ better work.
From experience my best work came to me easily and effortlessly.
It did however require discipline, consistency and a clear vision.
When you're aligned, excellence flows naturally.

Most of your problems would be solved if you just stopped and spent 30 minutes in silence daily.
But most people refuse to look within for answers.
Instead they look for the latest app in the app store.
Be the 0.1% and give yourself time to think and reflect.

Nobody cares about AI.
Whenever I tried selling the tech behind the solution it backfired.
Clients don't care if you are using the latest AI agent framework. They only care about the problems they solve.
Solution focused > tech focused always.

I hate the AI space.
There's to much hype and shallow promises.
Yes, AI is a useful tool. But that's all it is. A tool.
You still need to build skills, relationships and systems.
The tool won't do that for you. It will only assist you.

Idea. Design. Creativity.
While everyone obsesses over AI capabilities, I've watched the most successful products win through these three human elements.
Your vision is what makes you irreplaceable.
Don't just build with AI. Build something only you could imagine.

Productivity kills creativity.
Constant grind doesn't allow the mind to make creative connections.
I learned this when I got really sick and was forced to take a break.
Came back with a fresh mind and tons of new ideas.
Breaks are now a vital part of my work.

AI tools killed my productivity.
I spent waaay to much time testing new tools.
I know it's tempting. But trust me when I say simplicity wins in the end.
95% of the new tools are not worth your time.
Now I keep it simple, avoid the hype and get to work.

How I use AI to create content (authentically):
⦾ Repurpose old ideas. Break down long form to short form
⦾ Record yourself, transcribe it and let AI re-format it to content
⦾ Use it as a writing mentor, not a ghostwriter
These tips alone save me 5+ hours every week.

People underestimate the power of good design.
We anthropomorphize products. We relate to them. We seek something familiar, something with soul.
That's why great design will be the differentiator in the AI coding era. Separating okay products from ones people actually use.

I used to be torn between no-code and code for building with AI.
Now I do both.
No-code for quick prototyping and personal projects. Code for large scale projects and production-ready apps.
Combine the two and get the best of worlds.

I've tested the top 3 no-code automation tools.
Here are my thoughts:
Zapier: Most integrations, beginner-friendly, stable but slow/expensive
Make: Advanced features, great UI, quick, stable, versatile
n8n: Most powerful, unlimited via self-hosting, steep learning curve

My vibe coding sessions went from bad vibes to immaculate vibes when:
⦾ I spent more time planning before building
⦾ Put more focus on writing a detailed PRD
⦾ Created a proper UX/UI design system
Create the entire app conceptually before coding. Leave nothing to chance.

The artist in me used to hate systems.
Now I absolutely love them.
Why?
Systems offload the mental burden, freeing resources for creative work.
Lesson: systems don't restrict creativity, they allow it to flourish.

Neurodivergence + AI = superpower
Your unique mind sees what others miss.
Most people don't think much for themselves. They let their environment define their thoughts.
Your creative mind together with AI can create impact like never before.

My first sale on X felt unreal:
⦾ Built a tool to solve my own problem
⦾ Tested it by offering free use
⦾ Shared a video demo on X
⦾ Got a DM asking to buy
⦾ Closed the deal on a call
Yup, it can be that simple!

Fun fact:
Only talking about followers and money is so boooring.
Sure, having a full bank account is nice, but it shouldn't come at the expense of an empty soul account.
Build stuff that excites you. People feel that energy.
Success follows passion.

My biggest mistake building AI automations:
Applying it to EVERYTHING.
Sometimes automations create more problems than they solve.
They need constant upkeep, so choose wisely.
Not everything that can be automated, should be.

My spiritual journey radically changed my life.
But at one point it was also my biggest distraction.
The ego used it as a way to distract myself from looking within.

Don't confuse spirituality with escapism. Real spirituality is extremely practical.

Life seem to go on as normal.
Companies and schools are now offering AI training. Roles seem to shift rather than being replaced.
