If you have your OpenClaw working 24/7 using frontier models like Opus, you're easily burning $300 a day.
That's $100,000 a year.
I have 3 Mac Studios and a DGX Spark running 4 high end local models (Nemotron 3, Qwen 3.5, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax2.5). They're chugging 24/7/365. I spent a third of that yearly cost to buy these computers
I'll be able to use them for years for free
On top of that they're completely private, secure, and personalized.
Not a single prompt goes to a cloud server that can be read by an employee or used to train another model
I hope this makes it painfully obvious why local is the future for AI agents. And why America needs to enter the local AI race.

@SebShorts @yt_igm @timdanilovhi You don’t need a course. That being said when you pay you pay attention. I give it all away for free all the time it’s not until most people pay that they actually follow 1 mentor, get their act together and take massive action like they’ve needed to this whole time.
English

Never buy into the “you don’t need a course” slop, coming from someone who isn’t selling you anything.
Wouldnt have been nowhere near where i am today without Earnitmedia (@yt_igm) and Art of Youtube (@timdanilovhi)
The best things in life are ALWAYS behind a paywall.
Wether its about Health, Information, or Physical stuff.
If you disagree you just don’t understand how this world works.
Money is the great filter

@Dea_rMen Make more money is typically the best answer. I can confirm doing multiple millions a year now it was the better answer. Just don’t be a dumbass with your expenses.

Most people fix the outside and wonder why the inside doesn’t follow.
New morning routine. New business. New shiny object.
It’s all under the exact same identity. The person who needed a strategy was young and dumb version of yourself.. when you thought anything was possible.
The person who needs an identity shift is whoever you've become since then. That's the real work nobody sells you a course on.
You literally shift who you are internally and EVERYTHING will change.
English

You don't have a strategy problem.
You have an identity problem.
You're executing at the level of who you used to be.
The effort is there. The hours are there. The intention is there. But somewhere along the way you built a self-concept that doesn't match the version of you trying to show up.
And until that collapses, nothing outside of you will change.
The work isn't the tactics. The work is becoming someone for whom those tactics are obvious.

@ManOne68980 @brockpierson I haven't used it for my youtube channels yet. Just my other businesses.. that would be interesting to try out on the faceless channels to see what productivity boost we can get.

@devoncnp @brockpierson What steps of the video creation process are you automating?
English

Openclaw is one big grift.
Nobody is building anything real.
It's just grifting influencers telling YOU how to build stuff (but never build anything themselves).
Interesting how you can be building 24/7 but have nothing to show for it...
Check the track record of these snake oil salesmen.
Same type of person who polluted crypto with their grifty ways.
Selling a false dream and taking money from innocent people is disgusting.
You can't change my mind.

Here's the thing nobody tells you about success at 27: You get everything you worked for.. and then you realize the work was THE point
I drove myself insane optimizing for outcomes. Cut friendships. Skipped trips. Said no to everything that wasn't "the mission"
And I won. By every metric I set. But I also look back at 22 year old me and think Bro. you could've said yes to some things.
The regret minimization framework fixed this for me. Not because it told me to slow down, but because it forced me to be honest about what I'd actually regret
Turns out I'd regret fewer nights out than I thought. And more big swings I talked myself out of.
The lesson: optimize harder. But optimize for the right things.
Most people optimize for safety. I optimized for outcomes. What I wish I'd done is optimize for a life I'd be proud of at 80. Those three things aren’t the same.
English

To be clear
I don't live in regret.
Supercar. Travel everywhere. Work I love. Do what I want every day.
But if you're serious about maximizing your life, you have to be ruthless about minimizing the what ifs. Bezos built a whole framework around this.
Project yourself to 80 years old and ask: “will I regret NOT doing this?”
That's the only question that matters. That's why I even look back at all.

Most people in their 20’s wish they had more money. I wish I’d taken bigger bets and kept more friends.
At 27 and having made over $8 million online, there’s not much I regret. That being said here’s a few things I do regret:
I wish I recorded more videos. I’ve recorded probably 2,000- 3,000 videos over the past few years.. that being said most were teaching rather than documenting. My philosophy will continue to change as I grow.. but what will never change is my history. My favorite videos are those where I documented my life at that point.
I wish I nurtured friendships more. I signed up to that “cut your friends off” messaging you see all over money twitter. But now I wish I friends to just do dumb stuff with. Most of my friends are serious people in business. It’s incredible to call such successful people my friends.. I do crave random stupid activities. I don’t really have anyone anymore to do them with.
Studied more biographies sooner. Tony Robbin’s says all the time that success comes from your ability to recognize patterns. The more data points you have the more you understand success. I started listening to biographies on billionaires and the mega successful. There are patterns. There are repeat stories amongst person to person. The more I listen to them I understand the maniac speed they work at and what sets them apart from the 99.99999% of humans. Read more biographies.
I wish I Made more moonshots. Doing the deals or business that scares you. Makes you think “damn am I really going to make this ask”. You see it in the Paul brothers and anyone who ascends to the top very quickly. Their willingness to put themselves out there and make the big bets. It’s in our nature to be risk adverse. That being said those that CONSISTENTLY take the biggest risks are the ones you see with the biggest rewards.
Outsourcing thinking to ai. This is a recent one. Over the past 2 years I’ve relied on the ideation of ai a bit too heavy. While it does help come up with great ideas.. if you don’t have a strong idea muscle you’re constantly at a disadvantage. I would have it come up with frameworks before I even understood them myself.
Meeting up with people irl in the cities I travel to. I travel all the time. Been to something like 30 cities in the past year. I wish I made more of an effort to meet up with people in person.. I do love being an introvert and have my own self explorative adventure
Things I don’t regret include dropping out of college, betting on myself, investing in mentors, building a personal brand, going all in on my dreams. I live a beautiful, incredible life. I am so very grateful of what I am and get to do on a regular basis. These are just some reflective thoughts this weekend on what I strive to do more of these next few years of my life.

@andy0573 Many. YouTube mentors, business mentors. Invested over $500k in coaching over the years.
Best decision I ever made.
