In this video, I'm going to make a case against AI

and more specifically why more people are not making money despite using AI a lot

and token maxing and vibe coding and making all these apps and all that stuff.

And so the big misconception I think around AI is that AI somehow canceled every other form of leverage.

And if you're new to the channel, leverage just means the difference in what you put in and what you get out.

If you have a lot of leverage, you put a little bit in, you get a lot out.

If you have low leverage, then you put a lot in, you get a little bit out.

So AI introduces high leverage, which is great.

But the thing is, is that there's a lot of things that create leverage.

And so this whole misconception around like, oh, we must only use AI in order to succeed, taken differently, businesses right now who are using AI

and individuals who are using AI and they're seeing their token bills go up are somehow not making more money.

And so what I find kind of interesting is a couple of things.

So number one, when I look at our business, we now have had another kind of step increase in our revenue.

But it's not because of AI.

That's the thing.

It's not because of AI.

If AI didn't exist, we still would have had the increase.

And so it's not like a direct line there.

The second kind of proof point that I think is more interesting around this, and then I'll give you some tactics, is that I talked to a number of my wealthiest, oldest friends over the last week or two.

and I said listen I know you need to have public

appearances saying of course we're you know I'm a super AI advocate

because you have to do that um

but I said how much are you actually using AI every day

and like they kind of like look around

and they're like dude I'm not using AI

and I was like well your teams are

and he's like oh yeah of course you know of course

you know they're like of course our teams are using it

and I'm bringing people in and we're training the team up

and all that kind of stuff and I was like

but you're not using it and they're like no no I'm not

and I was like so that's very interesting to me and

so this is the thought that i i kind of want to challenge you with

and i'll leave some tactics at the end

which is there are a lot of forms of leverage

and many forms of leverage are multiplicative so for example capital still has tremendous leverage

ai coming in didn't somehow erase the leverage that capital uses

if you are in media and you make a video like this

and thousands of people see it or millions of people see it

that is tremendous leverage right ai doesn't erase that um and

when you multiply some of these together let's say you have capital

and you have media

and maybe you have teams right people still create leverage for other people um i do find it ironic

that like these the frontier labs

that have all this ai still have thousands of employees and

so it's just like kind of interesting as a counterpoint of like well people are still being you know needed

and useful But the thought of it is this,

is that I'm seeing so many business owners trying to AI max and because their capacity to work has increased using AI,

they are now doing things they otherwise would not have done if they didn't have AI.

But the thing is, those things that they otherwise wouldn't have done were lower priorities.

And so now they're doing things that were less important, faster and automated.

Great.

Not great.

Doesn't matter.

That's my point.

um and so one of the interesting things about not having ai is

that it forces you to prioritize better it focuses you to focus on the things

that are going to move the needle in the business

and i'm not seeing with an exclusion of like just a handful of exceptions um most ai use cases

that i've seen um are not actually making the business a ton more money i think

that having you know way more ad creative, I think for sure is helpful from, from, from an advertising perspective.

We have an AI sales rep, which has been helpful, but the thing is just like the AI sales rep is great, but like, I also know how to build sales teams.

So it's not like this, you know what I'm saying?

Like, it's like, it's, it's more efficient, you know, and it scales, but it's, it's typically not the limiter of the business.

And this is my point is that the constraint of the business, many business constraints, at least to this, at this point are not still as perfectly solvable with AI,

and if they were, then everybody would be making a ton more money.

This is kind of like the crux of this, which is, let me give you some other examples of leverage

that people are just not employing that you don't need any tech expertise to do.

If you have a one-on-one business, you can go to one-on, you know, one-to-one-to-many.

It's like that would create a lot of leverage, even one-to-small group.

It's if you want one-on-one to one-on-ten, you have 10x leverage.

Like, just like that, with that one decision, right?

If you go from having scheduled appointments with clients to asynchronous appointments with clients, it's like that gives you a tremendous it's increasing leverage in terms of how many people you need from a deliverable perspective.

If you change your sales motion so that a higher percentage of people buy, and so instead of needing 10 salespeople,

you need two, and they close the same amount because you've basically educated your prospects throughout the sales process more fully, so they need less information to make the decision,

which means you have fewer conversations and shorter conversations for your sales reps, and they talk to more qualified customers.

Then as a result, you can take what used to take 10 people, and you can funnel it to two.

None of that uses AI.

This is my point, is that there's

so many places in a business where you can increase leverage

that there's this fallacy that because I now have this infinite tool and I'll use infinite with quotes here.

I'm just seeing a lot of people using not making more money.

That's kind of my point.

And so it's this idea that we can throw away the fundamentals of business, but that's not true.

Like you have to, one is you want to use every form of leverage

that you have at your disposal to solve the constraint of the business.

If you don't know what the constraint of the business is

you're just doing more shit automated does not make you more money

and i think this was the conversation that i was having

because i'll tell you the the highest leverage thing

that you can do even higher leverage than ai ready for it making good decisions

think about it if i if i have my whole team

and i say hey guys we're actually not going to do this whole bunch of work over here

because i don't think it's important anymore by doing that i get

so much more out of my team like i it is more efficient for me to determine

that something is not a priority than for me to automate something

that is not a priority that was good that's pretty good.

That is higher leverage.

And so I will get more out of this resource that I have, my team, than if I just try and automate it and then create an output that is irrelevant.

100

And so this is what I'm saying.

101

And so I think quality still matters.

102

AI is not there for a lot of things.

103

There's obviously use cases and we're, you know, I would say very early and very aggressive adopters of AI across the business.

104

But when I look at the business overall, the things that are growing it are the things that have always grown it, right?

105

We need to generate more demand.

106

We need to convert a higher percentage of that demand.

107

And we need to create, we need to deliver, you know, very high quality stuff.

108

And right now AI can help, but it's like having like access to a lot of, it's actually, you know, it's actually probably a really good analogy.

109

A lot of, it's almost like access to a lot of virtual assistants like

110

third world virtual assistants that's what in some ways right now a lot of the use cases are like

111

that I'm not saying it's a perfect analogy

112

but like there's a lot of through lines there which is that's always been there

113

and to be fair I think virtual assistants right now sometimes are even cheaper than the AI token usage um

114

but that's always been there and businesses have still competed

115

that didn't them or did have them and it's still the same marketplace

116

and there's still high quality and there's still people with good brands

117

and there's still great offers and bad offers like

118

if you have a terrible offer then ai on the back

119

is not going to help you now you can say i'm

120

going to use ai to improve my offer maybe maybe not i don't know um

121

and so anyways that is my that is my public service announcement

122

which is that ai though it increases leverage does not cancel other forms of leverage.

123

And for most people, they're using it on things to be more distracted because they have more resources now.

124

They are still making poor decisions about how to allocate those resources.

125

And as a result, thing three, are not making more money just because they have AI.

126

And so I would ask yourself this question, which is, has implementing AI in my business made me more money?

127

If it hasn't, then you are likely using it in the wrong place, which means that you need to return to the thing that matters most,

128

which is identifying your true constraint and then forcing all of your very limited.

129

And I say that for myself included, all businesses compared to the resources available in the world.

130

Every one of us has like a speck of resources available to us.

131

And so we have that tiny speck and our ability to focus

132

that tiny speck of resource on the one thing that's going to move the needle, our skill at being able to do that is the thing that will ultimately make you more money,

133

even more than AI.

134

AI is just a tool.

135

It's not the answer.

136

So anyways, that is my two cents for the day.

137

I hope you like my very impromptu style.

138

If you hate it, you can let me know too.

139

Anyways, lots of love.

140

If you liked this video and your business owner who wants to break through your current revenue ceiling, I distilled every lesson from scaling 10 businesses past 10 million

141

and three businesses past 100 million into a completely free scaling roadmap that I've used to go from 0 to 1, 0 to 10, and 0 to 100 plus.

142

And so you can click here and you can check it out.

143

Again, absolutely free.

144

And since you're a business owner, appreciate you and enjoy.

Auch die Betonung in Sätzen wie "the BIG misconception" oder "HIGH leverage" ist wichtig: Sie lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf Schlüsselbegriffe. Übe, diese Nuancen zu hören, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern.

Sag es wie ein Native

Um den Rhythmus des Sprechers zu imitieren, nutze Englisch Shadowing: Wiederhole die Sätze direkt nach dem Video, ohne Pause. Achte darauf, die gleichen Pausen und Betonungen zu verwenden – z. B. die langsame, nachdenkliche Art, wie "the thought of it is this" gesagt wird. Betone Wörter wie "tremendous" oder "multiplicative", um die Bedeutung zu unterstreichen. Übe regelmäßig, am besten mit einem shadowing site, um deinen Sprachfluss und deine Natürlichkeit zu steigern.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
