Here is the rewritten article:

As I reflect on the past eight and a half months, I want to share with you my journey of building an AI automation agency, which we call Triple A. This journey has been a game-changer for me, and I'm excited to share my insights and experiences with you.

One of the key decisions I made was to hire specialist coaches to help my community members at every stage of building their own AI automation agency. This not only increased the frequency of our workshops from one to three times per week but also enabled us to create an AI version of myself, which we call the Triple A Accelerator. This product is designed to be a Swiss army knife of resources to help entrepreneurs accelerate their AAA success.

The launch of my AAA accelerator was an enormous success, with our Premium plan being sold out for at least the next few months and all of our targets being hit on our standard plan. We're now generating around sixty thousand dollars per month from this, which is a large portion of which is being reinvested into hiring the best coaches we can find, building the best tools, and providing the best resources for our community members.

People on the internet are more fragile than ever, and nowadays, everyone expects everything to be given to them for free and happen in an instant. If you have a chance to magnify your ability to teach and help people, then do it - let the credit cards of those in your audience decide, not the chatter of keyboard warriors.

I'm now able to teach far more people at a far higher level of education than I ever was before, which brings us up to right now, September 2023. Me and my team are on track to do one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars profit for this month, and that's all from AI businesses that didn't exist at the start of the year.

But we're only just getting started next year. I plan to scale my AI income to one million dollars per month by building my own SAS platform that leverages AI technology. However, building a successful SAS is only possible because of my success as a Triple A owner. Building my AAA has created the perfect launch pad for me and my team into SAS.

There are three key factors that have contributed to this success:

Firstly, I have a near-infinite supply of incredible AI SAS ideas. My business partner and I are constantly adding new ones to our already bloated lists, which is just part of what happens when you work in the industry day in day out. Your exposure to new and exciting opportunities is constant.

Secondly, I have the cash flow from my AI automation agency required to bankroll myself, which allows us to retain close to 100 ownership for me and my team. We don't need any VCS or outside capital at all.

Thirdly, and most importantly, I have a world-class AI development team at my disposal, in order to build state-of-the-art AI products. Plus, because they are my full-time employees, I'll be paying cost price to build out any of my AI SAS ideas. Having an elite Dev team is the ultimate hidden benefit to building a successful AI automation agency - it's a ludicrous edge to have in this day and age for those wanting the big exits.

Finally, if you're going to start an online business, pick one that sets you up to springboard onto bigger opportunities. Your agency is not the end goal; it's simply a vehicle to take you from broke and unskilled and resource poor to being someone who is ready and capable of building an eight or nine figure business.

That sums up my past eight and a half months, and I hope that my story can inspire some of you to start your own journey today. Start your business become a player not a spectator. Here's a quote that has helped me through some of my toughest times as an inspiring entrepreneur: "I'm exactly where I need to be to learn what I need to learn in order to become the person I want to be."

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys welcome back to the channel my name is Liam and in this video I wanted to share with you my journey as an AI entrepreneur from 0 to 160 000 per month in just eight months I'll walk you through my experience in 2023 alone where I started the year with zero subscribers minimal experience with AI models and most importantly zero dollars in AI related income it's been about eight months since I went all in on building AI businesses and the road it hasn't always been easy in fact it's probably been the most difficult chapter in my entire entrepreneurial Journey so I genuinely wanted to come on here and share my struggles because I know many of you may be facing similar challenges maybe you want to take advantage of this new and exciting technology but don't know where to start or you've tried to start your own AI business already but you've had a dead end if this sounds like you I hope this video can serve as an inspiration of where you can go with the right information strategy and commitment I'll also share some valuable tips and tricks on what helped boost my AI income and at the end of the video I'm going to share with you my plan to scale to 1 million dollars per month in 2024. a bit about me I'm currently 23 years old I've been doing online business for about five years now I'm from Little New Zealand but I'm now based in Dubai and I was at University for a little while but I eventually dropped out in order to go and pursue my dream of building an online business and in the process giving up tens of thousands of dollars of scholarships to State University when I first started my online business journey I was doing e-commerce and Drop Shipping as many of you probably were as well and then I was able to transition that into working with my business partner on his marketing agency and then around two years ago I decided to teach myself to code again and from there I started playing around with language models around the end of 2022. little did I know that my entire entrepreneurial Journey up until then had been preparing me to be perfectly positioned to take advantage of the AI boom and I remember when I first saw Chad GPT and played around with it I instantly knew that I had to go all in on this new technology I'd seen friends of mine do very well by writing these technological Trends in order to create their own personal brand and so I figured this was my opportunity to throw my hat in the ring and start my career and journey as a YouTuber I was of course absolutely horrible at the beginning of making videos you can even scroll back and see some of my old ones but I'm happy to say that I'm pretty sure that I've improved quite a lot since then initially my plan for the channel was to combine my passion for entrepreneurship with this new technology and really create an AI business channel to teach people and help people to make money with AI it actually did end up getting a little bit sidetracked and started doing like AI development tutorials on the channel but that actually ended up playing a crucial role in my long-term success as you'll see and to be fully transparent I didn't have a super clear strategy on exactly how I would end up making 160 000 per month before the end of the year but I was doing what entrepreneurs do best I was throwing myself off the cliff and backing myself to to build the plane before I hit the ground which brings me to my first tip for those of you wanting to get started as an AI entrepreneur start a personal brand and document your growth the reason why is that this space is so new you have a chance right now to establish yourself as a thought leader and an OG in the space and in five ten years if you're consistent you'll be one of the big dogs in the center of one of the biggest industry trees in the world even in my short run as a public figure I've been able to put myself in the center of an emerging and new and exciting industry and with that comes many benefits like infinite leads for your business and the attention of people you used to watch on YouTube while you were eating two minute noodles start sharing your journey do cool stuff and people will come plus if you're able to make content that connects and engages with people then that's an extremely valuable skill to build now going back to the story it was from the AI development tutorials as I mentioned before that I was actually able to start generating my first few dollars of AI related income and this came in the form of my Consulting course these were initially 150 for 45 minutes and they were a super easy way for me to monetize my channel initially now I can do these calls in my sleep but when I first started I was absolutely terrified my knowledge was only good in a few areas but thankfully it was improving rapidly just by the amount of reps and and exposure that I was getting from the work I was doing as I continued to be consistent on YouTube I started getting so many of these calls booked in that I had to increase my price and I had to do this multiple times to the point where now I'm doing 45 minutes for a thousand dollars and I can only allow four of them to be booked per week and I still get two of them booked per week so it's from 150 to 45 minutes all the way up to one thousand dollars for 45 minutes in the space of a couple of months aside from earning me my first dollars in AI income these Consulting courts actually lit the path to the next chapter in my journey which was starting an AI development company now on these calls I had so many people practically begging me to help them build their AI projects that the only logical Next Step was to hire a developer and get him to basically build these builds for me and I could just do a little bit of sort of high level analysis and say look this is what you need to do now you go away and build it now in theory this sounds great and simple but the reality was quite the opposite I quickly realized that trying to build a low maintenance development company focused around emerging technology was like trying to herd cats and so it began the long and difficult journey of building an AI development company and my company as many of you may know is called Morningside Ai and this is named after this suburb that I grew up in New Zealand in February of 2023 just one month after starting my channel the Consulting course and Lead flow were continually increasing to the point where I was struggling to maintain both my YouTube channel and the day-to-day operations of Morningside so needing help I reached out to my mentor Josh and asked if you wanted to come on and partner with me in the business and be my head of operations this was a key inflection point for our company as by dividing the labor I was able to continue to focus and really put the Hammer Down on YouTube as Josh was able to focus on the day-to-day operations and sort of pick up more and more of the sales calls and also direct the hiring of new new Developers for us which was hugely important for us as we scaled which brings me to my second tip for those wanting to do similar things to me find a business partner or business partners that complement your set of skills we've been friends for four years and trust each other completely which is absolutely vital so as you go on your journey keep an eye out for others that you meet who share your vision and your values and when the time is right join forces with them and watch the competition fall away fast forward to May 2023 Josh and I were in the pits of growing pains for our new company I was in Colombia going through a breakup Josh was in Spain with the rest of our team and we had low quality Talent working for us that was causing a lot of issues on projects and we also had a surprisingly low close rate on all of the leads that were coming through despite the sheer volume we were getting from the channel it was tough but it was under the pressure of these tough times that a diamond was formed by this point we had actually started to ignore a lot of the leads that were coming through because they were too small and the amount of admin and hassle involved which is not worth our time so anything below ten thousand dollars we were basically ignoring until one day I stumbled across no code bot Builders and really started to explore them and I quickly realized that we could build a lot of these low ticket projects within a couple of days with these no code bot Builders custom knowledge chat Bots were the most common request so sensing an opportunity I dug out some of our old leads and started testing Service delivery for these clients using these platforms and to my surprise the clients were completely unbothered they were completely fine with us using these no code platforms and they were more so happy that we they didn't have to pay the ten thousand dollars that we quoted them for a custom coded version of it and with this the AI automation agency model was born we immediately contacted all of our stale leads and pitched them the same build but at one third of the price we had originally quoted them and suddenly our income from these low Code and low code builds was nearly equaling that on our custom development side at Morningside which really surprised us as these lower code ones were typically easier to deliver and so may 2023 was another key inflection point for my personal income growth and also for the growth of our company which brings me to my next tip for you all which is that in order to make any kind of Discovery and really unlock new income opportunities for yourself you need to be working at the bleeding edge of an industry it is literally impossible to do so from the sidelines if you've been watching my videos you'll know that I talk so highly about the AI automation agency model because it allows you to get into the AI industry and start actually participating rather than just spectating people tend to over complicate it but at the end of the day it is simply a framework for creating an AI business that gives you the perfect on-ramp into the world of AI entrepreneurship now at the time of discovering the AI automation agency model my channel was just a place for me to share what I was learning in the AI world so I quickly put out a video and shared what we discovered and the opportunity that we had really found little do they know what would come next before I knew it everyone and their dog was raving about the model we'd created AI automation agency EI automation meetings with your AI automation agency or AI automation agencies AI Automation and with that came a surge of interest that still blows my mind to this day YouTube search volume for the keyword AI automation agency nearly equaled that of artificial intelligence and the keyword exploded on Google Trends too all from zero just a few months prior we had obviously created something that resonated with millions of people everyone wanted to start an AI business us but we were the first ones to ditch the gimmicks and give them a real plan and a real framework on how to do so then we backed up the opportunity with historical examples to cut through the hype and lay out the opportunity clear as day while all of this was happening I continued to put out content on the topic consistently sharing my experiences As I Grew my own AI automation agency and sharing step-by-step guides on how others could start their own My Views and my subscribers exploded which brings me to my next tip if you want to grow rapidly on YouTube you need to find a starving crowd I identified that people desperately wanted to make money with AI and gave them a blueprint on how they can create their own profitable and scalable AI business not some chat GPT based hustle now of course finding a starving crowd is not easy but I would say growing at a snail's pace in a dead Niche is far harder with My Views exploding I wanted to capture some of that attention somewhere so I created a free Discord community and started hosting free weekly workshops where I'd go through some something that I was doing within my own agency and sort of sharing my techniques and my learnings and I'd also do weekly q and A's once a week for free then it was time to just do the work and after three months of grinding on YouTube and my free community and on Morningside client work my team had exploded in size and had attracted some of the best talent in the world my YouTube channel had exploded to 80 000 subscribers and in my free community and my newsletter had also grown to around 30 000 members each when I started YouTube I swore I would never become a core selling Guru but at this point there was a real need for me to be able to amplify really magnify my ability to teach people this meant hiring specialist coaches to help my community members one-on-one at every stage of building the AI automation agency or Triple A as we call it this also meant increasing the workshop frequency from one to three times per week and creating an AI version of myself to allow unlimited access to my knowledge and my methods for starting a triple A we called this product my Triple A accelerator there's designed to be a Swiss army knife of resources to help you accelerate your AAA success the launch of my AAA accelerator was an enormous success with our Premium plan being now sold out at least for the next few months and all of our targets being hit on our standard plan we are now generating around sixty thousand dollars per month from this a large portion of which is being reinvested into hiring the best coaches we can find building the best tools and

of keyboard Warriors I'm now able to teach far more people at a far higher level of Education than I ever was before and that brings us up to right now September 2023 me and my team are on track to do
