Now AI gives away free advice, anyone with a chatbot is now an "expert". So why would anyone choose YOU? You and I both know - they won't for much longer. Better copy won't fix it. Pretty websites don't cut it. Anyone can do that now with a Claude Code sub. Scammy high-pressure sales tactics won't either. (They never did!) Here's what will keep people banging your door down for more FOREVER... Joi...

THE most important question for codeless and coding builders everywhere is this. To start answering that question for yourself: workshop.mikemonday.com

Model routers are all the rage. Understandable given the rising cost of frontier intelligence. But Stripe possibly paying $10 billion for OpenRouter? Crikey. So I decided to build the simplest possible AI model router for my setup myself...Here's a Builders workshop I did that you can get for free: workshop.mikemonday.com

The plan was watertight. I had it all figured out. Until it fell apart with less than 24 hours to go. So I had no choice but to develop a simpler app to make the presentation for the workshop WHILE MAKING THE PRESENTATION FOR THE WORKSHOP.Here's what happened...

First, came the facts…Next came the chats……AND THEN CAME THE SLOP. Soulless, hollow, incessant, inhuman bilge saying everything that means nothing. It sickens me. I spot it from a mile and then I run another two. And yet, here I am jumping up and down saying: “These new tools we all have now make this the best time in human history to start or grow a solo business.” How can I believe both at once?...

Today is Day 20 of me "getting back on the content horse". (She's a mean old nag….easy girl…🐴) In 20 days I managed to record and release 16 videos. Not quite the daily I set out to do, but that gap holds the answers. Here's what I've learnt - and what I'm going to do next to see if I can go the full 20 in 20 this time…after all, success is knowing what to do next. Sign...

Your business is taking off. Prospects are banging down the door. But all you want to do is HIDE! This is the classic sign of a solo business set up for self-sabotage. I've done it more often than I care to mention over the last 32 years building my own businesses and it ain't pretty. But with these new building tools there is a way through...

I started as a solo business owner right out the gate after university. First in 1994 as a music producer releasing vinyl, then DJ touring the world, then in 2011 I launched my first online coaching business. Every single time, I felt like I was behind, there were too many people already doing it, that it had all been done. Theses beliefs stopped me from taking the opportunities like I could have....

Why I have released a page that is a mess on mobile...And come to the free workshop I'm doing "The Build Machine - How to Build a Builder Business": workshop.mikemonday.com (By the time you get there I may have even sorted it out on mobile!)

Almost ALL problems with how we "do knowledge work" are yet to be solved... Because we can't even seen the problems with how we do knowledge work now. Until now, the people making the tools were different from the people using them. Now the people using the tools can also make them by describing what they need and want to another tool, one that talks back - what is now possible? To s...

The first time I did an onboarding session (back in March), it took 2 hours 47 minutes to walk my clients through installing mAI (my AI system). THEN I realised I'd built it wrong, had to rebuild, then put them through ANOTHER session of 3 hours 15 minutes! Today, where I onboarded a PC user for the first time was not quite that bad... P.S. Here's a Thoughtnado tool I built to help overwhelmed bui...

I had a realisation today when attempting to plan a marketing campaign for my new program for builders. Where I struggle is in making decisions when I don't have enough information to decide...which is almost always the case. So what is the solution? P.S. here's a tool I built to help overwhelmed Builders gain clarity: build.mikemonday.com

Infinite options don't unlock your creativity. Constraints do. A constantly shifting landscape creates doubt, another creativity killer. So how do you decide what products to build, what kind of business you want and what will work? P.S. Here's a Thoughtnado tool I built for non-technical builders overwhelmed with too many build ideas: build.mikemonday.com

I've been stuck deep down the BUILD HOLE for weeks. The build hole is fun. It's exciting. It's addictive... BUT IT'S A TRAP. Here's how to escape it, and start creating genuine value from all the tokens we're using... Oh and this tool was the first that helped me ESCAPE THE BUILD HOLE - the Thoughtnado: build.mikemonday.com/

There's a HUGE wave approaching fast...I'm gonna ride it. P.S. Here's a tool I built for overwhelmed builders and solopreneurs: build.mikemonday.com Here's this episode on YouTube...

My access to the intelligent systems I use to build and run my businesses cannot be dependent on the whim of any other person, entity or organisation. My context - memories, plans, history is mine - I'm not ok with anyone owning or controlling it. AND the era of AI subsidy looks like it's coming to an end. That is why I've invested over 80% of my (highly subsidised) AI subscriptions to build an in...

Yesterday afternoon I had to spend the ENTIRE afternoon attempting to unlock the door into my system that Codex had bolted shut. Unfortunately I found out it had also thrown away the key...P.S. Here's a tool I built for overwhelmed builders: https://build.mikemonday.com/

For me, building without knowing a line of code is like flying into a cloud at the dead of night with my eyes closed. (Of course, I’ve never done that lol. But I’m sticking with it.) But this zero-technical training doesn’t mean I can only build “bad versions of what already exists.” In fact, my lack of expertise together with what I call “Discovery Building” is now allowing me to build the kind o...

Yes. It happened. I got Rickrolled by a machine. P.S. Here's one of the thinking tools I've built for you if you're a builder overwhelmed with too many ideas: https://build.mikemonday.com/

Building an online business from ZERO is hard. Especially when:The social media game isn't one you're willing to play BUT social platforms reward playing their game. So this is my solution. CREATE MY OWN GAME:[in progress - see tomorrow's episode lol]

Building software when you're non-technical is all very well and good...UNTIL YOU HAVE USERS. It means loads of testing, checks and red teaming. But release day ALWAYS COMES. P.S.
