claude #/web-setup #https://claude.ai/code/onboardingThe 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.
Lead Setup
The question that resonates with any business owner: How do you get clients?
And here is the setup to make them get more/better/faster clients.
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 👇
Consulting Services
DIY via ebooksTwo windows to capitalise (2026 → mid-2028) — champion role + brand/ship as complementary plays with shared closing date.
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

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.
| Model | Source | Where it bites in YOUR biz |
|---|---|---|
| Reciprocity / Scarcity / Authority / Social Proof / Commitment / Liking / Unity | Cialdini | Every cold email, every offer page |
| Calibrated questions (“How am I supposed to do that?”) | Voss | Every sales call objection |
| Loss aversion (2× pain of equal gain) | Kahneman | Pricing / guarantee design |
| 80/20 → 64/4 → 51.2/0.8 | Koch | Customer / channel / SKU pruning |
| Skin in the game | Taleb | Performance pricing, founder-led sales |
| Convex bets (asymmetric upside, capped downside) | Taleb / Duke | Offer testing, channel testing |
| Survivorship bias / halo effect | Rosenzweig | Don’t copy founder stories blindly |
| Default effect / nudge | Thaler | Onboarding flow, default tier |
| Memento mori / amor fati | Stoics | Operator psychology when revenue dips |
| Scale + control = wealth | DeMarco | Filter on every new biz idea |
10 models. That’s the operating playbook from 100 books.
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.

Whats stopping you to know more about the Brayton cycle?

Or Rankine?

Thinking about having an stirling engine at home?

For sure you have one of these near:




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:
- Skin in the game (Taleb link) — you eat the same risk you sell
- Free case study — your own metrics = the testimonial
- Credibility moat — competitors selling “outbound for SaaS” who don’t run outbound = exposed
instantly - Product feedback loop — you find bugs/gaps before customers do
- 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?”
