The climb

Each volume is one step up

Start where you are. Every book builds on the one below it and hands you to the one above it, from a first question in ChatGPT to a business that runs on agents.

  1. STEP 01

    First Login

    Free sample · Chapter 4, Generic In, Generic Out

    Go from a blank chat box to a daily habit, with a library of tested prompts for the jobs you repeat every week.

    Read Chapter 4 free from Volume 1Inside Volume 1

    Chapter 4 opens

    This is chapter 4 of 15 in Book 1, and it's the chapter where your answers start getting better. You need a free ChatGPT account, ideally with two-factor sign-in turned on (chapter 2 walks through it), and about 45 minutes if you do all three exercises.

  2. STEP 02

    Working With Claude

    Free sample · Chapter 4, The Project Is the Product

    Turn Claude into a capable coworker: a Project that knows your business, a voice file that sounds like you, and research with sources you can open.

    Chapter 4 opens

    A general model gives everyone the same average. Your facts, your rules and your voice, written down once, are how Claude stops sounding like everyone else.

  3. STEP 03

    Build With Agents

    Free sample · Chapter 7, From Keeper to Skill

    Run coding agents like a team lead: brief them, fence them in, check their work, then extend them with your own skills and plugins.

    Read Chapter 7 free from Volume 3Inside Volume 3

    Chapter 7 opens

    This is chapter 7 of 16 in Book 3. Four ideas from earlier in the series carry it, and you can pick them up in two minutes.

  4. STEP 04

    Own Your Work

    Free sample · Chapter 4, Proof at the Point of Capture

    Keep what you make with AI yours, with a record of creation that a buyer, partner or platform can check.

    Chapter 4 opens

    A label is only as strong as the record behind it. This part builds the record while you work, shows it to strangers, and makes disclosure part of the value.

  5. STEP 05

    First Client

    Free sample · Chapter 6, The Screenshot

    Package what you can now do into an offer, get found by the buyers who need it, and close your first clients.

    Read Chapter 6 free from Volume 5Inside Volume 5

    Chapter 6 opens

    This is chapter 6 of 15 in Book 5, the book about turning what you can do with AI into a business that lands clients. Four ideas from earlier chapters help here.
