Ten days ago I sent an SMS to my warm network offering a free AI Business Assessment. Five business owners said yes. By Friday, I'd run five 20-minute calls, delivered five custom AI roadmaps, and identified between $1,560 and $17,400 of monthly value waiting to be unlocked.
Lewis, a construction and landscaping director in Melbourne, replied: "What once felt overwhelming now feels exciting."
This episode is the story of those 10 days — the SMS that started it, the five calls, the numbers, and the offer that's now live at jakewoodhouse.io/ai-assessment
