A day a week, quietly
Invoicing, chasing, filing, reformatting, looking up the thing you already looked up. It never appears as a crisis, which is why it never gets fixed.

Build your AI workforce in six hours
You left a company and every function in it stayed behind. Finance, legal, marketing, the assistant, the IT desk. This is how you replace them without hiring anybody.
Six hours. Not a course about AI. A build, with something working at the end of every hour. No coding required.
Self-paced, yours to keep, and updates included. It credits in full against the Install, the Rig, and a seat in the 12-Week Studio, so if you go on to any of them, this costs you nothing.
The problem nobody warns you about
Ask anyone three months into their own practice what is eating the week and they will not say strategy. They will say they spent Tuesday afternoon working out what to put on an invoice, and Thursday rewriting an email they have written forty times.
None of that is the work people pay you for. All of it used to be somebody else's job.
That is why a solo practice used to cap out at the founder's own hours. Everything you took back came out of the same day you were going to use to earn.
I ran technology reward at UBS and was Head of Technology HR at Credit Suisse before that. I had a team, a finance function, a legal function and an assistant. Then I did not. Nothing in sixteen years of banking prepared me for the fact that the constraint on my own practice would turn out to be admin.
What it costs to leave this
Not dramatic. That is the problem with it.
A ceiling you cannot see
You can only take on what your own hours allow. The obvious answer is to hire, and hiring is a payroll, a manager's job, and the thing you just left.
The work getting worse
Not the client work. Everything around it. The follow-up that goes out two days late, the proposal that is slightly different every time, the thing you meant to check.
Starting again every month
Most people using AI today are having the same conversation over and over. Nothing accumulates. Next month they explain themselves from scratch.
That last one is the real one. The difference between a novelty and a function is not how clever it is. It is whether it gets better.
What you actually build
Six hours, and every one ends with something working rather than something understood.
Hour 1
Agents think, skills regulate
The distinction everything rests on, and a method for getting yourself unstuck.
Hour 2
The Chief of Staff and the handbook
One coordinating role, and the page it reads before it does anything.
Hour 3
Wrap, and the one chat
The hour that makes it compound instead of reset. This is the one you are paying for.
Hour 4
One agent, one skill, real work
Built on a job you actually needed done last week, with an answer you can check.
Hour 5
The gates
What may never send, post, publish or charge without you. Enforced, not promised.
Hour 6
Your org chart
Your departments, your next three roles, and your Workforce Map closed.
Plus a starter pack you copy rather than build. The handbook template, the role files, the settings file carrying the gates, and the wrap routine. It is versioned, so when the tools underneath move you can see that they have.
You do not need to be technical, and this is why
The thing people expect is that maintaining this means opening files and editing them. It does not.
When something behaves in a way I do not want, I say so and ask for the role responsible to be updated. It knows how it is put together, so it finds the right instruction. Sometimes the answer is that a new role is needed, and it tells me.
And it is instructed to notice on its own. While we work, it watches for where an instruction is missing, where it assumed something it should not have, and where a guardrail is needed. Most updates are proposed rather than requested.
That is the whole trick, and it is a conversation you have already had with everybody who has ever worked for you.
Who this is not for
Two people would be better served elsewhere.
- You want it built for you. The value is in the instructions you write about your own business, which is exactly the part nobody can write for you. If you want the plumbing built and handed over, that is the Install, and this course is included in it.
- You want an AI strategy for a team. This is for one person running their own business, and every part of the method assumes nobody else has to agree.
Two things to be straight about
There is no support included, and that is deliberate. If you get stuck, the first thing to ask is the thing you just built, and Hour 1 teaches you how to ask it properly. There is a FAQ for the failures that actually happen. If you are genuinely stuck and want a person, that is a Decision Call.
The six hours excludes setup. Installing the software and connecting your first system is Hour 0 and it sits outside the promise, because setup is where people give up and it is not the thing you came for.
Where the line is
Hour 0 asks you to decide what you are willing to connect and what you are not, and it will not make that decision for you. Connecting bank records, client files or contracts means that data is being processed by a third party. Nothing here is legal advice or data protection advice. If your work is regulated, or you hold personal data belonging to other people, take advice before you connect anything, and run the whole course on your own material until you have.
