Intro

When was the last time you saw the fight club, matrix or Mr robot?

a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy

single serving things

Within the x300:

# cd ./Home-Lab/forgejo
gh status #make sure to where you are logged (to bring github goodies to forgejo you will need this)
#http://192.168.1.2:3034/jalcocert/optimum-path
#make migrate-repo REPO_OWNER=JAlcocerT REPO_NAME=optimum-path
#make add-collaborator NEW_USER=hermesagent REPO_OWNER=JAlcocerT REPO_NAME=optimum-path
# 
make migrate-repo REPO_OWNER=JAlcocerT REPO_NAME=leads-slubnechwile
make add-collaborator NEW_USER=hermesagent REPO_OWNER=JAlcocerT REPO_NAME=leads-slubnechwile #this will require apify/firecrawl keys later on
#make list-user-repos NEW_USER=hermesagent #now showing x5!

Then in the Pi with Forgejo connected:

git clone http://192.168.1.2:3034/JAlcocerT/leads-slubnechwile #hermesagent changeme123
tmux ls
#tmux new -s claude-leads
#mkdir leads
cd ./leads
#claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

Then:

make fetch #make help
make enrich
make export #nano ./data/
make sample

This remind me about TooN for prompts.

#git clone forgejo-home:jalcocert/eda-f1.git

Let the magic start:

The service to rule them all

It was just about bringing these learnings to jalcocertech-services:

i want the alex hormozi skill to rate whats useful from this repo    
as a personal lead getter and enrich, is this all fluff? or can sth
be use to create a blueprint?

Yea, ive destilled Hormozi videos recently via ./poc/yt-distill ;)

Founders write strategy decks, ship nothing. Dont be a founder.


Conclusions

Recently ive seen…

…85 people in a call celebrating shipping a POC in 2 weeks.

Outside this room, single developers with personal agent setups are shipping equivalent work in 2 days.

The internal velocity feels fast relative to before, not relative to what’s actually possible.

The gap isn’t the tooling. The gap is the corporate substrate.

Now → 6 months (mid 2026)

  • Junior dev / data-analyst hiring freezes deepen. Big 4 analyst intakes already cut.
  • Personal-velocity gap widens — solo devs with multi-agent setups ship 10x while enterprise still gates tools.
  • Internal POCs proliferate.

24 → 36 months (2028)

  • Enterprise products from creative spike deployed at scale → clear-I/O white-collar cull broadens: accountants, ops, admin, mid-analytics, customer service. The “fluff jobs not worried today” wake up.
  • Services firms compress to a needle: partners + AI-tool resellers + regulatory work survive, the rest gone.
  • Munich Re-style protected industries show first PM compression (still slower than IT services).
  • AI literacy becomes universal → creative-dev moat erodes. The buffer phase ends.

Expert consulting — for those who value getting outcomes right the first time and before the tsunami arrives 👇

  1. Two windows to capitalise (2026 → mid-2028) — champion role + brand/ship as complementary plays with shared closing date.

  2. Macro hedge (the third failure mode) — currency-debasement risk, policy playbook, asset implications, and the three-hedge framing (employer / career / currency).

Closer: “Most people hedge zero of three. Hedging one is good. Hedging all three is the actual position.”

The only way Im shipping now

This is beyond a good UI prompt.

Also more than a good initial skeleton with docker, make and whatever atf goodies you listed.

Must have esp connected to pb or just bring your own DRIP

yea, pocketbase does the lead trick

#git clone /jalcocertech-services

  1. Define a product/service
  2. Get a Landing: cal+forms
  3. Outreach…

Its not just to get the leads

But to understand the different treat on how to cold vs warm, after getting feedback.

Just start today sending mails:

#https://github.com/JAlcocerT/make-landing/tree/master/z-hormozi-actions
#https://github.com/JAlcocerT/make-landing/blob/master/mjml-email/send_mjml_api_email.py

Dont get overwhelmed

This is the action plan

Outbound email 101 📌
  1. Get a domain
  2. Get a workspace https://workspace.google.com/
  • https://admin.google.com/

Dont forget to add these DNS:

SPF:    Host: @            TXT  "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
DMARC:  Host: _dmarc       TXT  "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@DOMAIN; pct=100; adkim=s; aspf=s"

Destilling read books

I got the most accurate diagnostic: Stage 1 reading on a Stage 4 shelf = procrastination via knowledge accumulation.

“Some of the best money is deciding to stop spending bad money.” — same with reading time.

  • Premature pivot — every new book seems like the missing piece.
⚠️
The missing piece is usually applying the previous book harder
ModelSourceWhere it bites in YOUR biz
Reciprocity / Scarcity / Authority / Social Proof / Commitment / Liking / UnityCialdiniEvery cold email, every offer page
Calibrated questions (“How am I supposed to do that?”)VossEvery sales call objection
Loss aversion (2× pain of equal gain)KahnemanPricing / guarantee design
80/20 → 64/4 → 51.2/0.8KochCustomer / channel / SKU pruning
Skin in the gameTalebPerformance pricing, founder-led sales
Convex bets (asymmetric upside, capped downside)Taleb / DukeOffer testing, channel testing
Survivorship bias / halo effectRosenzweigDon’t copy founder stories blindly
Default effect / nudgeThalerOnboarding flow, default tier
Memento mori / amor fatiStoicsOperator psychology when revenue dips
Scale + control = wealthDeMarcoFilter on every new biz idea

10 models. That’s the operating playbook from 100 books.

⚠️
To destill operator knowledge for actions, ive put this together
  • Offers — make it so good they feel stupid saying no. Value Equation: (Dream × Likelihood) ÷ (Time × Effort).
  • Leads — Core Four (warm, content, cold, paid) + Lead Getters (referrals, employees, agencies, affiliates). Pick one, commit 12-24 mo.
  • Money Models — sequence offers (attraction → upsell → downsell → continuity) so 30-day profit ≥ CAC.

Which Tech Talks have you done YTD?

The last one, around iot x big data with the dht22

In total I think its around 4 so far.

What you can do with the Makefile

cd trajectory-optimization

make help              # list all targets  make pending           # animation + setup study (the in-flight pair)
make animation         # just the Phase-4 lap MP4  make setup-study       # just the brake/mass/CoG sweep
make practice-plan     # the actual deliverable — corner targets
make phase4            # just the OCP at user-match calibration  make all               # everything (4-6 hours)

Whats it is ACV

ACV = Annual Contract Value.

Money one customer pays per year.

Example:

  • Client pays $500/mo → ACV = $6,000
  • Client pays $2k one-time + $300/mo retainer → ACV = $5,600
  • Wedding photographer charges €1,500 bundle once → ACV = €1,500

Why it matters in playbook:

“ACV >$3k” rule = your target client’s CUSTOMERS must pay them >$3k/yr each.

Reason: if their customer = $500/yr, they can’t afford to pay you $3.5k/mo for outbound.

Math breaks.

┌──────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Client’s ACV │ Can pay you $3.5k/mo? │ ├──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤ │ <$3k │ No. 1 deal barely covers your fee. │ ├──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤ │ $3-10k │ Maybe. Need 5+ closes/yr to ROI. │ ├──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤ │ >$10k │ Yes. 1-2 closes = 3-10x ROI. │ └──────────────┴────────────────────────────────────┘

Hormozi version: “Their unit economics need to support your fee.”

Related terms you’ll see:

  • MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue (your $3.5k/mo retainer × clients)
  • LTV = Lifetime Value (ACV × years they stay)
  • CAC = Customer Acquisition Cost (what it costs you to close 1 client)

Eat your own dog food

Eat your own dog food = use your own product/service as a customer.

Origin: 1980s tech — Microsoft VP forced engineers to run their own software internally before shipping.

If it’s not good enough for you, not good enough to sell.

Hormozi version: “your outbound IS your demo.”

If you sell outbound to B2B SaaS, your own outbound campaigns = the proof. Prospects see your cold email, hire you because the email worked on them.

If you sell consulting, your own biz growth = the case study.

If you sell weight-loss coaching, your body = the billboard.

Why it matters for biz:

  1. Skin in the game (Taleb link) — you eat the same risk you sell
  2. Free case study — your own metrics = the testimonial
  3. Credibility moat — competitors selling “outbound for SaaS” who don’t run outbound = exposed
    instantly
  4. Product feedback loop — you find bugs/gaps before customers do
  5. Damaging admissions earned — you can say “I tried this exact thing, here’s where it broke”
    because you actually did

The anti-pattern Hormozi attacks:

“The curse of modernity is people better at explaining than doing.” — Taleb

Coaches who don’t run businesses.

Marketing agencies whose own marketing is broken.

Sales trainers who haven’t sold in 10 years.

Course-sellers whose only revenue is the course.

Test for your biz: name your top 3 services.

For each, are YOU your own customer?

If no, either start using it or shut up about it.

For your TSL Poland Agentic RevOps idea (per your agentic-revops-tls.md): you should be using your own agentic outbound to acquire your first 5 TSL clients.

Those agents = your demo.

Their booking calendars = your case study.

“If you wouldn’t pay for it, why should they?”
