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

I was away in Mallorca, Spain with the family for 10 days this month. One thing I love about Spain? They love an mid-afternoon siesta. I’m only getting back into a nice working rhythm today. Travelling, even shorthaul, is tiring. All the Spanish sun and late night cervezas didn’t help! Usually when I come back from holidays, I keep things simple. I call it “Restart Engine Week”. Sure some productivity boffins pontificate about “eating the frog” and “hitting the ground running” but I’d rather...

One of my favorite websites is the Drudge Report. It’s been around since the early 1990s with a bare bones design that updates once or twice per day, aggregating news stories from across the web. I love the Drudge Report model because it gets millions of page views with a simple, straightforward approach. The AI space changes every day. It’s hard to keep track of new model releases and developments with different tools. I wanted to stay updated without spending half my day wading through...

I’m back after spending 10 days on holiday with my wife and kids in Mallorca, Spain. Before I went away on holiday, I emailed my list and asked if I could write an AI prompt for your use case. I was surprised and then overwhelmed by the responses. Note to self: don’t send emails like these the day before getting on a flight. I didn’t have time to reply to every email before I went away, although I’m working my way through the queries. So here’s the deal: PromptWritingStudio is my newsletter...

Every Sunday morning, I spend exactly $10. My wife thinks I'm mad. The kids roll their eyes. But by December, this tiny habit will be worth 1000x that investment. Here's what I buy: domain names. Last Sunday: cryptonewsflash.com Week before: buildmyhomegym.com Before that: MyTriathlonCalculator.com (which I actually built) Most of these domains sit dormant. A few become fun side projects. One or two turn into real businesses. I sold one of my side projects for multi-5 figures early this year....

Great news for codebreaks everywhere! ChatGPT could crack the Enigma code in short order. That’s according to Michael Wooldridge, a professor of computer science and AI expert at the University of Oxford. In case history is not your bag, the Enigma code was a crazy-hard cipher system used by evil Nazis during World War II to protect military communications. Boffins tried to smash it way before WWII, with big breakthroughs by Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki, and Henryk...
