I Built 1,000 Websites. Then AI Changed Everything.

You have to pivot. One of the deciding factors that separates those that succeed and those that thrive in business is your ability to pivot, especially when a new technology comes along that completely disrupts your industry. And that's what we see today with AI. A lot of businesses, including mine, got disrupted. Now, I wanna be able to show you when your business get disrupted, what you need to do and what I did in order to stay relevant. AI disrupted my business, and I wanna show you what I did to pivot so that you can be able to do the same thing too. Look, I don't care what industry that you're in, AI has disrupted it, AI is going to disrupt it, and AI will continue to disrupt it. So what do you do? How do you pivot? Well, let me share with you what I did. Now, all of this happened so fast, and it just seemed like it came out of nowhere, and all of a sudden, everything just changed. Now, over the past twenty four plus years, you know, for those of you that have been following my content, I started out with Joomla. I've built over 1,000 websites, thousands of students across different platforms, and twenty plus years doing Joomla specific. And I realized that when AI came along, I had to make a decision. I was in a box. I realized that in order for me to get to the next level, I had to pivot. Now, the things you built your life on can suddenly just change and stop working more than you can react. And when this happened, like most of you, I was just like, well, I was blown away by what AI can do. Now, now twenty years and four different beasts, and I wanna help you understand something. In 2005, for those of you that have been online for any period time or whether you're just getting started, things have changed significantly. I actually got started coding, building websites back in 2002. Right? So from 2002 to 2005, back then I had to hand code everything, I had to learn HTML, you know, CSS, JavaScript, and it took a long time to build a single page. And around 2005, that's when I started, you know, got my first client. Everything built by hands, line by line, code by code. I remember spending hours to build a single page, you know, and and you make a mistake, you gotta go back and correct it. I started to teach online 2000 late two thousand fourteen, after learning how to build websites with Joomla for a few years, I wanted to share with other business owners. I realized that they didn't have a lot of, you know, tutorials online to teach you how to build things without coding. So I started to teach you guys how to do that, have courses on Udemy and different platforms. And so many of you have learned those skill sets which you can still use no matter what. Now, fast forward to 2023, that is when, you know, the whole Chad GPT came on the scene, and I remember then, man, this site was overloaded. You couldn't even, you know, get access to it. It was shut down because so many people were excited about this. Right? Everything changed then. You know, the tool started doing what I charge for. So before, what I would charge for, someone can just now, with just a simple prompt, build a solid website. Well, in 2026, everything changed again. The category that I used to just use a whole lot has just stopped existing. So, I don't use Joomla anymore, not because it's something as bad, but just because I realized that I outgrew it because of AI. So maybe you've outgrown your industry because of AI. Now here's the belief that cost me a year. Right? What I told myself, and you're probably telling yourself this, AI will help me build faster, I'll make more money. Now, that sounds great. Use AI, build tools, and overnight you can make a ton of money. That is not the reality, and I want you to take it from someone that comes from that background, someone that I do AI stuff, more on the back end, the coding end, every single day. Now, this is what actually will happen. You know, AI will let your clients build without you. So the work that you used to get from clients, they can see, you know what, I don't need you anymore. I can get, you know, Claude or or Codex or any other platform to build it. Now, once that happened, that was a game changer. You know, I watched a machine do in minutes what took me decades to master. Maybe you're in the same boat. Every skilled person is going to have this moment. The question is what you do in the next one. Okay? You have to face the reality. If you have a business that AI interrupted and disrupted, you have to be able to adjust. So one of the things that I do, the three things I understand now that I did not in 2023, and you can use this for yourself as well. Now, the skill that survived, I wanna talk about the skill that survived. One part of the old job got more valuable, not less, but you need to understand what that part of it is. If you don't understand what that part of it, then you're gonna stay stuck while others keep moving ahead. Next thing, services die and systems live. What you sell decides what AI erases or multiplies you. And this is where most business owners, most entrepreneurs are stuck. You still you're so stuck on doing services, when instead you need to be building systems. And I'm gonna break down just a moment what that means. And then third, expertise is demote. Right? The advantages is in using AI because anybody can just type a simple prompt and build anything, is knowing what to point it at. The people, the businesses, the entrepreneurs that are thriving, they're not the one that's just building random tools. Right? A lot of people today are just vibe coding a bunch of nonsense, and they code it and once they're done like nobody's using it. If AI can build anything, what's left for you? And here's the skill that survived. A client says, I need a website. What they're actually saying is, I need more qualified leads. I need something that's gonna help me to make money because AI in itself cannot just make you money. You have to understand the flow of AI. So they ask for a website, what they're actually asking for is I need to get more qualified leads. So they need the right system. Whatever actually gets them there, that is the system. So one of the benefits that I had is that coming from a background that I knew how to code, understand the language to a certain extent. Right? I knew the terminology, when I saw code, when I see code, it doesn't scare me because I'm used to it for so long. So I'm able to understand how to build a system. Most people are racing to learn what AI does. Almost nobody is getting better at deciding what to build. Just because you can build it doesn't mean that you should. You have to be able to look, is there a market for that? See, AI can write the code but someone has to still know what to build for whom and what, and that's where most people get stuck because they vibe coding just anything. Just because you can vibe code something doesn't mean you should vibe code it. Right? If you've done this as an experiment, as a side hobby, but but again, this is for people that are looking to pivot, that are looking to make some some adjustments, you know, in your business. So are you selling your hours or something that runs without you? Then you need to pay attention to this. Services die, systems live. So if you're selling anything online, right, you need to learn systems. Every website I sold was paid for once. Every system I built since keeps working while I sleep. You can do the same thing too with AI. Learn how to build systems. And here's the trade off, you sell hours, your cap is linear, it ends when you stop completely, and I dealt with that. If I wasn't doing something, if I wasn't building websites, if I wasn't teaching websites, if I wasn't showing this, if I wasn't, you know, doing for the hourly, then once I stopped doing that, I wasn't making any money. And that's where most people actually get stuck. And you can change from being stuck. You can change and build a system. It compounds, it works when you don't. It takes you through step by step a systematic way of doing things. So instead of building a website, I built a framework. Now, I used Joomla, I was able to use the Joomla framework. You wanna be able to, you know, trading time for money felt safe because it was predictable. It was never safe, it was just slow. If your income stops when you stop, you don't have a business. You have a job you own, and that is where most people are today. If you don't work another day, if you don't do nothing else, you haven't built a system in place that is gonna tell you. So let me show you how, what I built instead. So why do experts with AI be people who know only know AI? Now, coming from a background that I've coded before, I understand the language, expertise is the moat. Okay? Two people on the same tool, one has watched hundreds businesses fail and know why, and the other is just guessing what to do. Right? The person that's going to generate more is the person that had the expertise because most people today, here's what happens, they just hear, oh, AI can build this, AI can do this. So they just jump on, you know, whichever platform that they use and then, you know, they just type in, anyone can type the prompt, but twenty years of judgment, twenty years of failures, trials, and success, twenty years of knowing what works, what doesn't work, I can get to it so much faster and I know which answer is actually the right answer. You don't realize this, but AI can lead you in this in the wrong direction just as much as it can lead you in the right direction, and I've experienced both of them. And then when you talk about results, it looks fine, but it's solved, nothing specific. So your clients are concerned now because they're paying you for results, but they're not getting anything because you're getting generic stuff. Right? Results someone paid you for, almost at the aims at the problem that matters and that is what you need to be able to do. The people winning are on the best prompters. They're experts who finally got leverage and because of AI, the leverage that I have today, I love it because I understand things at a deeper level. AI is the workforce, your judgment is still the business. Now, so I stopped selling websites and built a platform. I realized that Joomla as good as it was, it it put me in the box. I remember one time that I was building a website with Joomla and I wanted to do something with Claude, a custom custom feature to integrate with Joomla. It was so difficult, it was so hard that I'm like, you know what, I don't wanna keep going through this. So, I used my twenty years of expertise, made a good judgment about what to bill, and I used an AI system, AI first system, the workforce that bills and runs, and it's called Pralum. This is where coaches run their entire business. And the reason why I was able to do this because I spent two years doing research, I just then jumped and started to vibe coach something like most people do. Two years of research, intense research, deep research to understand the market, to understand the strategies, to understand what to do, you know, and how to help coaches to be able to do that. So here's one thing we survived. So we talked about doing tasks. We talked about stop selling hours, need to build a system. Let me say it again, build a system regardless of what industry that you're in, you can use AI to build system around it. Your expertise plus AI beats AI alone every single time. If there's one point that I wanna just drive home, it's this point. Expertise plus AI beats AI alone. Because as you learn AI, if you don't ask AI certain questions, it won't give you those answers. It just won't. So, AI is coming for your work, whether you like it or not. It's coming a lot of people's work, it's come for a lot of people's businesses, now people are scrambling. Even the most the the largest companies, the big companies, we're talking about a thousand people plus, they're scrambling too because AI has disrupted it. So, is what I do, I train and work with entrepreneurs and business owners just like yourself, and you can book a strategy session. What's your AI shift score? You can take this free assessment that I created, it's gonna help you to understand what your AI shift score is, and based on that score, you know exactly what adjustments that you need to make. So it's absolutely free, scan the QR code or just go to that link and then you can take it. You know, I release a new video, you know, every Monday and every Friday to be able to help you to understand how to shift and deal with this whole AI transition. The bottom line is this, you need to pivot your business or your business is not going to survive at all. The business that's irrelevant are the ones that have learned how to pivot.
