We just wrapped up an 8-week AI Transformation Project with a 350-person Australian healthcare company.

The tech was the easy part.

The enterprise chaos & “people stuff” was way harder.

So here are 7 lessons from the trenches on how to work effectively with an enterprise: For context, this healthcare company was facing a crisis.

The Australian government is about to roll out new legislation cutting funding for elderly care companies.

So their question was pretty urgent: “How do we serve the same number of clients with fewer staff without burning our teams out?”

That’s where we came in…

Sam Altman says the first 1-person billion-dollar company is coming.

If ONE person can do a billion, you can definitely build a business that replaces your 9-5.

Here’s your step-by-step map to make $10k/month with a 1-person AI business: Everyone's using ChatGPT like it's Google 2.0.

But if you really want to replace your income with an AI business, you need to:

• Start thinking of yourself as an operator
• Starting treating tools like ChatGPT as your digital workforce

Let me show you what I mean…

Always build distribution first. Product second.

Here's what most founders get wrong about this (and why AI isn't going to magically solve your distribution problem): Startups fail for two reasons:

• No product/market fit
• No distribution strategy

But most founders think distribution means 'good marketing.'

That's part of it...but real distribution is when your product spreads without you.

Like a secret too good to keep.

I've spent the last 2 years in the trenches of AI adoptions building education, development, and consulting businesses.

And have watched this technology go from sci-fi to reality.

Here’s why this space is becoming both terrifying and exciting (depending on what side you’re on): In the next 10 years:

• Smartphones will fade into the background
• Everyone will have a personal AI assistant
• Work as we know it will cease to exist.

We’re not ready for the speed of this shift. But you can be.

Huge AI market opportunity in 2025:

• Big consultancies won't touch companies w/ <500 people
• Most AI agencies only build, don't strategize

Meanwhile, the mid-market need both dev + consulting.

Here's how we're capitalizing on this at Morningside AI w/ the AITP model: If you haven't used Claude to its full capacity yet, you should give it a go.

In just a couple minutes and with the right set of prompts, you can create a full n8n AI automation.

It's not plug-and-play ready yet but still pretty cool.

In 24 months, I went from selling:

$5k AI chatbots → $60k AI audits that lead to $250k+ development deals.

Here's the 3-phase ‘AITP’ model we use at Morningside AI that 12x'd our average deal size: First, let me give you some context about AI agency models.

Most agencies are purely development shops - they build what clients tell them to build, with no audits or detailed strategy.

We used to do something similar before we developed our current model.

Let me rewind:

I grew my AI businesses from $0 to $7M+ in 2.5 years.

I had zero AI knowledge when I started.

Here's the exact 3-phase progression I used (feel free to copy it): Phase 1: AI Automation Agency (AAA)

If you’re new to AI, this is your entry point.

With an AAA you’re basically using no-code tools to build AI automations for SMBs.

I started here in May 2023 using Voiceflow & Make(.)com. The ticket size was roughly $3-5K per project.

I built momentum helping small businesses first.

Can't figure out what AI solution to sell?

Try looking into 'boring' industries...

Talked to my Aunty this morning who has owned a framing business in Auckland for 30 years.

In 5 minutes we'd identified one clear use case for an AI assistant... (continued👇🏼) She said:

"The emails we get are bloody painful, these people who say 'hey I have a poster, how much to get it framed?'.

Then someone has to go back and forth to get all the info we need to actually quote them (size, style etc)"
