Optimal Focus

Your team is drowning in manual work. There's a better way. → You know AI and automation could save your team hours daily — but you're not sure where to start.→ You're tired of repetitive meetings and manual data entry between Slack, Notion, and HubSpot.→ You've experimented with ChatGPT but don't know how to scale it across your business processes.→ You hear about "AI agents" everywhere but it feels like magic only tech companies can do.→ Your team is burning out on busy work instead of focusing on what drives revenue. This course is for business leaders, team managers, and entrepreneurs who want to transform their operations using AI agents and smart automation—without hiring developers. You'll walk away with live automations running in your business, AI agents handling routine tasks, and the mindset of a Happy Operator: someone who scales teams through technology, not more people. What you'll build In 5 weeks, you'll transform from manual chaos to automated efficiency using real business scenarios from "TechFlow Marketing" - a growing agency scaling from 8 to 25 employees. Each week focuses on immediate business impact with systems you can deploy the same day. Week 1: Proposal Generation Pipeline✦ Build: Automated proposal system that turns email inquiries into professional proposals in 5 minutes✦ Learn: Email intelligence, AI parsing, and document generation using n8n + OpenAI + Google Docs✦ Take away: Complete proposal-to-close system reducing creation time from 3 hours to 15 minutes✦ Business Impact: Save 12+ hours weekly on proposals, never miss deals due to slow response times Week 2: Company Knowledge Base✦ Build: AI-powered knowledge assistant that answers team questions about your company instantly from Slack✦ Learn: RAG systems, document processing, and Slack integration✦ Take away: Slack-integrated AI assistant with 80% question accuracy and source citations✦ Business Impact: Eliminate 2+ hours daily spent searching for company information Week 3: Reporting &amp; Meeting Automation✦ Build: Real-time dashboard pulling data from Asana, HubSpot, and Google Calendar✦ Learn: Multi-API integration, automated reporting, and meeting intelligence systems✦ Take away: Automated weekly reports and meeting prep that eliminate status meetings✦ Business Impact: Reduce reporting time from 2 days to 15 minutes, cut meetings by 50% Week 4: Content Repurposing Suite✦ Build: Content multiplication system using news scraping, video processing, and social automation✦ Learn: Apify scraping, YouTube APIs, Meta Business integration, and viral clip generation✦ Take away: Automated content discovery and distribution across all marketing channels✦ Business Impact: Transform 1 piece of content into 20+ assets, reduce content creation time by 70% Week 5: Employee Onboarding System✦ Build: Complete onboarding automation from offer acceptance to 30-day productivity✦ Learn: Workflow orchestration, document automation, and intelligent training paths✦ Take away: AI-powered onboarding assistant handling 80% of new hire questions✦ Business Impact: Reduce onboarding costs by $15K per hire, ensure consistent day-one productivity This progression takes teams from basic automation to enterprise-grade systems, with each week building on the previous to create a complete business transformation toolkit. What a typical week looks like → Monday (75 min): Live inspiration session showing real business transformations, followed by troubleshooting Q&amp;A. See exactly what you'll build and why it matters for your bottom line.→ Tuesday-Thursday (30 min daily): Hands-on building with step-by-step video materials. Each day adds one piece to your automation system - by Thursday, you have a working solution running in your business.→ Friday (60 min): Q&amp;A session with breakout rooms for personalized help. Get unstuck, optimize your workflows, and prepare for the weekend challenge that ties everything together.→ Weekend Challenge: Complete the week's automation system and deploy it in your business. Most students see immediate time savings and measurable results before the next Monday session. Total commitment: 30 minutes daily, with live systems running in your business by week's end.

Your team knows AI exists. But nobody knows how to actually use it.
