The #1 Money-Making Opportunity With AI (2026) - Q&A

why i quit crypto...

With AI, literally the entire internet is for the taking.
SaaS apps, agencies, content businesses, marketplaces - you name it.
If you can move faster, ship quicker, and build cheaper than the incumbents, you win.
You can vibe code an app in a weekend that used to take companies 50 engineers and $10M in funding to build.
The internet is full of slow, bloated, overpriced businesses that haven't adapted yet.
Every. single. one. of them is an opportunity.

Claude's biggest flaw is it forgets everything. I fixed that permanently with 3 files.
Now it remembers my preferences, my writing style, my corrections - and it gets smarter every conversation.
Here's the setup (takes 5 minutes):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start a brand new desktop folder, and build these three markdown files:
1. Instructions. MD - tells the model how to act
Example:
## Who you are
## What you do
## Rules
## What good outputs look

Intelligence is free now. So why aren't more people winning?
Because the bottleneck was never knowledge. It's self-mastery.
The person who can't focus for 2 hours straight won't build anything - no matter how good their AI tools are.
The person who avoids hard conversations will stay stuck - even with the best prompts in the world.
The real edge in 2026 isn't what you know. It's:
Your habits
Your discipline
Your emotional intelligence
Your ability to push through discomfort
Your speed of execution
Stop trying to become smarter. Start becoming sharper.
Read more books. Journal daily. Train your

Weekend AI to-do list:

Pick 1-2 of these and thank me later.

Here's the harsh truth about AI...
AI alone won't make you rich. It's a force multiplier.
- A good trader with AI can do what used to take an entire quant team.
- A good marketer with AI outproduces an entire agency solo.
- A good salesperson with AI runs personalized outreach to hundreds of leads while they sleep.
The people making real money with AI right now aren't just "AI guys."
They're people who were already good at something - and added AI on top.
Your existing skill is the edge. AI is the lever.
Build expertise and use AI to amplify.

As an 8-figure founder, these are the AI tools I'm ACTUALLY using every day:
(just using a few of these will significantly boost your productivity):
Essentials (I use daily):
• Claude Code - builds and ships code for me
• Claude Cowork - runs my daily operations
• Claude skills - automates and assists re-occuring flows
• Grok - real-time market monitoring/news
• NotebookLM - turns any transcript into frameworks
• Perplexity - replaces my morning research
Bonus (less important but still used):
• Openclaw - more advanced scraping for research/data
• Gemini - meeting transcripts/YouTube & Gmail a

Everything you were told to study is now automated. Everything you were told was 'fluffy' is now priceless.
In 2026 and beyond: Soft skills > hard skills.
AI made hard skills a commodity. Soft skills are the new competitive advantage.
- Anyone can build an app now. Not everyone can sell it.
- Anyone can write content now. Not everyone can build an audience.
- Anyone can access information now. Not everyone can make the right decision.
The skills that matter most in 2026 aren't technical. They're human.

The AI Consulting playbook to make $20k+/mo
• Get really good at one stack. Claude Code/MCP/Openclaw is the easiest to monetize right now.
• AI skills alone won't close deals. You need to be charismatic, know how to sell, and build trust in a room. Traditional sales knowledge is more important than ever. Study it.
• Don't sell AI. Sell the outcome. "I'll save your team 20 hours a week," not "I'll set up MCP servers."
• Niche down. "AI systems for real estate agents" beats "AI consulting" every time.
• Start with people you know. Set up their systems for free or cheap. Get testimonials.
• Charg

All the top business experts are saying the exact same thing.
This is the literal blueprint for getting rich over the next few years:
• Focus on agency + speed
• Become AI-native
• Learn agentic AI & agent management
• Build your network
• Build distribution
• Target small to medium-sized businesses (these are the people who know they need to implement AI but are struggling to do so)
Do these 6 six things, and it's literally impossible for you not to change your life in the next year.

There's still a massive opportunity with in-person AI setups.
Most small business owners have heard of AI. They know they should be using it.
But they don't know where to start, and they'd rather pay someone to just set it up for them.
I was in the same boat last year.
Claude Code, OpenClaw, MCP servers, automations - none of this is *that* hard to set up. But it feels hard if you've never done it.
Charge $2-5k per setup. Take an afternoon. Install their systems, show them how it works, and leave them with something running.
You can then charge a monthly retainer for ongoing upkeep. If you do
