Today we launched an e-commerce site for a client. The conversion rate is holding steady at around 7%. The Shopify sales notifications just don't stop. At this rate, we're going to run out of stock in less than 3 weeks. Life is good.

One of the interesting things about “growing up” alongside my brand (it’s been 10 years this year) has been noticing the gradual shift from short-term thinking to becoming obsessed with developing systems.

So,Claude Design is great at design, and pretty bad at turning that work into anything other than code. Codex is great at everything else and merely okay-ish at design.
Looks like I’ll have to pay for both, my LLM handcuffs.

Thinking about how AI is changing design workflows and remembering how things used to be, I think this must be how graphic designers felt when Photoshop and Illustrator first came out.

You can tell what stage a business is in by the questions its owner asks. The first uncertainty for a freelancer or agency is always how to find leads and clients. But then the next challenge is the fine art of pricing, which is a never-ending process.
If you freelance, be prepared for slower months. Or years. Even when you’re fully loaded with work.
I used to get 5-10 solid briefs a week and turned most of them down, because I was already running 3-4 projects at once. That went on for years. I was crazy busy.
Then 2023. Nine months, not a single project. 2024 was better but still quiet. 2025 started to pick up, nowhere near the peak of 2018-2021.
I’ve got the biggest brands in the world in my portfolio and it did nothing. I’ve been ghosted more times than I can remember. Invoices overdue for months or not paid at all.
People only flex here. The reality is completely different.

This week I had my first client for “AI slop design cleanup.” I’ll be keeping an eye on demand, but I think it could work as a new service.
How does this guy only have 1,368 followers? The amount of value he posts per hour is astounding.
i keep meaning to make a video on agents and getting too busy
so, here's a 3 minute video showing you how a $10 agent saves me ~4hrs a day
DM me with a business problem and ill tell you why agents are the silver bullet solution

This phase of my life, learning to run a business while working with a virtual assistant and dancing tango five days a week just in time for the World Championship, reminds me of The 4-Hour Workweek. Living the @tferriss life!

A sales call is like dancing tango. When you dance with a partner who’s inexperienced, you can tell instantly, they’re stiff, shaky, overthink every step. It's the same with sales, the person on the other end can tell whether you’re experienced or not just by the way you speak.

Today my assistant set up a small CRM for me that I’ll be using to track the leads I’ll be generating over the next few months. I’m working on translating all the processes that go on in my head into dashboards and SOPs that work without me, and boy, it’s turning out beautifully.

I’m thinking about putting together a welcome kit for my clients as part of the onboarding process, perhaps a signed letter in an envelope? some stickers? or business cards? It could be a simple, personalized gesture that makes the relationship feel special from the beginning
