How To Build A 7 Figure Business In The New AI World
Don't be afraid
“Hey Tim, are you worried that AI will destroy your business?”
No, I’m not. And you shouldn’t be either.
AI is changing the world. It’s transforming how we work, create, and connect. But every technological revolution has done the same thing. It replaces certain jobs, creates new ones, and amplifies the people who know how to use it.
AI is not the end of business. It’s the beginning of a new era where the fundamentals matter more than ever.
LFG. 🔥
The Return To Human Connection
My wife works in the healing space, and we’ve both seen firsthand how desperate people are to feel connection again. Not just with others, but with something deeper. As technology has pulled people further apart, the desire for real human interaction has exploded.
This is where the first great opportunity lies.
The more AI floods the market with automation and digital noise, the more valuable real connection becomes.
People are craving in person experiences, authentic conversations, and genuine relationships. They are tired of being marketed to. They want to be seen, heard, and understood.
That means the demand for human based businesses is skyrocketing.
in person clinics
in person events
coaching programs that work one on one with clients
trauma healing and emotional work
mastermind groups and networking communities
relationship coaching and communication training
The opportunities are endless. You can start today. All you need to do is put yourself out there and create environments where people can connect again.
And this need for connection doesn’t stop at emotional healing. It extends to where we live, who we trust, and how we choose to spend our money.
Why Local Still Matters
Local businesses are not going away.
Yes, AI will change how people find them, but it will never replace the need for proximity and trust. People still want to walk into a shop, meet a real person, and feel part of their community.
The mechanism might evolve, but the desire to support local will always remain.
Even if people start using AI to search for local businesses, AI will still rely on the same data that powers Google and other directories. It will still need to pull from human created listings and verified local sources.
So whether the search happens on Google, ChatGPT, or whatever comes next, businesses that show up in those results will win.
The lesson is simple. Local businesses must make themselves discoverable. They must put themselves where the attention flows.
AI might change how people find local businesses, but it cannot replace the value of being found. Maybe this means starting a local marketing agency, maybe it means starting a local business.
Either way, I’ve never been more bullish on local.
And while you are building trust and connection, you can use AI to multiply your leverage.
How To Go All In On AI
AI tools are incredible. They save time, reduce cost, and create leverage like nothing else.
For example, I built a software product called Directorly that helps people create their own business directories. AI does most of the heavy lifting, but the results still depend on the person using it.
I’ve been using it to build Stem Cell Authority, and I just pulled my first lead from it. That one lead could easily turn into a three thousand dollar a month deal.
That’s the power of AI when used correctly. It enhances creativity instead of replacing it.
AI now assists me in
• organization
• sales automation
• scheduling
• coding
• writing and reading contracts
It is the ultimate tool for leverage, but only for those who know how to apply it.
Think of it like a gold rush. The early adopters rush in, the crowd follows, the hype fades, and the real winners are the ones selling the picks and shovels.
That’s where I want to be. Selling the systems, training, and infrastructure that make the gold rush possible. Because no matter what technology comes next, one thing will always be true.
Businesses need leads and sales.
That’s where I thrive.
The Game Hasn’t Changed
I know this essay covers a lot of ground. But every part connects to one idea.
AI will not change the nature of business. It will simply magnify the difference between those who leverage the tools and those who avoid them.
The entrepreneurs who adapt will win. The ones who cling to the past will fall behind.
Destruction always leads to creation. That has been true since the beginning of time.
So ask yourself, what do you want to do in this new world?
Do you want to sit on the sidelines, or do you want to play the game?
I hope you choose to play. Because the game has not changed. Only the tools have.
Love you guys. Have a great weekend. Talk to you Monday.

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned from my life as an entrepreneur, it’s this.
ENTREPRENUERSHIP IS NOT COMPLICATED.
Internet gurus love to talk about “frameworks, secrets, and insights.” The reality is that every business follows the same exact process in order to generate sales, build internal systems, and scale.
I have broken this process down into six steps, which I call The Machine Method.
If you’re serious about starting an online business, I will guide you on your quest to seven figures.
