Too busy with daily operations to build a website from scratch? Here's a plug-and-play template built for your Home Service business, optimized to convert. - trust signals that make homeowners pick up the phone - before/after proof of work that sells itself - clean, professional design ready to go live fast Not a cookie-cutter theme. Not a $5k custom project. Just something in between. simonx14.sg-host.com

Connect to Discord now. Our first convo was a rocky start. Haha.

Hermes Agent officially installed! Will build marketing agent for outreach to niche communities. Note to self: don't get banned, haha.

🚨 Micro Business #3 Update: building an AI app that renders interior spaces. Problem: home buyers, interior designers, and home hobbyists struggle to visualize a space before committing to it. This week I reached out to realtors, friends, and family in my immediate network(Step 2 - validation sprint). Next step: taking the idea to niche communities to see if there's real demand. #buildinpublic #microsaas

@mhp_guy Pessimists are usually correct. Optimists are usually rich. Choose your path.

One person watches this and says "Ahhccttually it's not that simple because X Y or Z..." Another person watches & thinks "This guy is planting seeds of entrepreneurship into tens of millions of young minds. He's doing more for the future of America than 99% of everyone else. Pessimists might sound smart, but optimists get rich.

Making a site look better won’t fix broken lead flow. - Layout changes don’t fix weak headlines - Design tweaks don’t fix hidden CTAs - Pretty fonts don’t build trust Fix your messaging first. Then worry about how it looks.

@irentdumpsters Nope. But a good problem for AI receptionist to solve. Have you seen any being used out there?

If you own a house cleaning business do you think you could handle 400 organic leads every single month?

@mhp_guy Unbundling large marketplaces(eg - CraigsList) or a feature on enterprise app into something more niche give you endless possibilities!

This guy makes $3,500/month in recurring revenue with a business he built in an afternoon. He'd never written a line of code in his life. He used to make pasta in his family's restaurant in New Orleans. Today he's running a software business and its growing double digits every month. His costs are almost zero. He didn't use venture capital. He didn't hire engineers. He didn't even really use AI (at first). He just connected a few APIs together and charged people for access. He found one tool that has 30,000 pre-built scrapers. Picked one off the shelf. Connected it to a simple website he vibe coded in an afternoon and then started telling friends in sales about it. Word of mouth did the rest. It's a Google Maps lead scraper. You type in gyms in Texas and boom, you get a spreadsheet of every gym in Texas. The back end scraper costs him pennies. He charges $35 a month. 95% profit margins. In this episode he: - Breaks down how he went from hospitality to tech with zero experience - Shows me the exact tools he used to build this - Gives me 12 different scraper business ideas you can launch this week - Explains why the window on this is short and you need to move now This is your playbook. Check this one out.

@tylereptgames @mhp_guy 100%. This never makes the headline. For every success story, I always try to extract the unfair advantage and client acquisition strategy.

@mhp_guy The 'built in an afternoon' part is easy to market... getting people to pay every month is the hard part.

AI search doesn’t rank pages the same way traditional SEO did. Someone used to search: “plumber in Austin” Now they search: “plumber who fixes burst pipes in Austin on the weekend” Different intent and filters. Old page structure: built around the keyword Better page structure: built around the problem customer is trying to solve AI search rewards content built around specific scenarios. General service-focused pages surface less often.

@levelsio Haha. Atleast you're not in the Gout club.

You build one services page that lists everything you offer. Google ranks it for nothing. The issue is not your content. It’s that one page cannot rank for "HVAC repair Atlanta" and "water heater replacement Atlanta" at the same time. Each service needs its own page. That is how you give Google a specific match for a specific search. Without that structure, you are asking one page to win ten different fights. Build a separate page for each service and let each one compete for one thing.

@Codie_Sanchez Dale Carnegie's "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" is a timeless classic.

@namyakhann Enjoy the process and celebrate the small wins. Even when you "made it" the journey still continues.

You don’t need to feel motivated to make it You don’t need perfect momentum to make it You don’t need everything to be working to make it You don’t need to feel confident every morning to make it You don’t need toxic fuel to make it You don’t need insecurity to drive you to make it You don’t need to prove people wrong to make it You don’t need 16-hour workdays to make it You don’t need every action to feel scalable to make it You don’t need instant results to make it You don’t need to have it all figured out to make it You need reps You need discipline You need boring inputs You need to keep promises to yourself You need to do the work even when it feels heavy Still figuring it out, still in the game

@natmiletic I only care about what happens next. Give me more! Haha.

People will say this is AI

@Jason @joerogan @TomCruise In today's world those essential pillars(diet, exercise, sleeping etc) of health are ever harder to live by.

SSRIs are dangerous and their efficacy is questionable Exercise, diet, sleep, meditation and socialization/community are well established solutions for depression or the blues. Mock @joerogan, @TomCruise or me for pointing this out, but this is the established truth Go research it. Be very careful with these drugs, as joe points out, they are known to make people suicidal and their efficacy is unknown. And they are brutally hard to get off of x.com/overton_news/s…

Before claiming a game plan didn't work, ask yourself "did I really try?" 10 cold calls a week is not trying. Bump it up to 100. You don't need a new system. You need 90 more days of going harder on current one.

@lexfridman Going to Turkey this fall. Might hit you up if going to Göbekli Tepe or Derinkuyu.

I'm traveling the world for a bit, starting with China but then hopping around the globe, anywhere. Open to any adventure. No plans, only a backpack. Hoping to meet & get to know humans from all walks of life. The pic is from a long hike on the Great Wall. For me, as a fan of history, this was an epic experience. In China, first I'm visiting a few big cities & talking to engineers at the heart of China's AI revolution. After that, if feeling crazy enough, I'm hitchhiking (first time) across rural China for a few weeks. Hitchhiking because I think it's the best way to meet rural folks who I would otherwise never get the chance to meet. I hope to do the same in US and other places. I have a request, if you have a travel recommendation, fill out the form(s) below if you feel like it. Or share with folks who might have advice about such travel. Form 1 - travel recommendation: If you can, recommend to me an interesting place I should visit anywhere in the world. For this, fill out form 1. Not touristy stuff, but something off the beaten path, that tourists may not know about, but is legendary. It could be as remote as meeting a herder in the mountains who is a local legend. Asia, Middle East, Europe, India, South/North America, Africa, Australia, anywhere. In China, I'm hoping to visit maybe Heibei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc, so recommendations for spots to visit are helpful. Form 2 - coffee: If you want to grab a coffee with me anywhere in the world, fill out form 2 (please don't use form 1 for that). Anyway, I hectically tossed stuff in backpack. Realizing I don't have a clear plan of any kind, which is probably the only way to do it. LFG. Love you all ❤️

Business idea should be artistic, realistic, and investigative.

Just took @awilkinson personality test on a whim to see what kind of "Career Interest" align with my personality. Well I just got a life assessment. Haha. Next step is brainstorming business ideas that suit my interest and personality type. Get your free assessment here: app.deeppersonality.app

Your business is listed three different ways across Google, Yelp, Facebook, and your website. Google doesn't consolidate those. It treats each variation as a separate signal. Name, address, phone has to match exactly. One inconsistency causes confusion. Multiple variations quietly kill your local rankings.
