What I learned coaching 723+ AI Agency founders

I’ve been in the AI space since 2022.

I’ve seen the “make money with AI” story change with every new hype wave:

• 2023–2024: AI Automation Agencies

• 2024-2025: The AI SaaS gold rush (again)

• Now: AI “transformation partner” packages

And the same AI gurus keep switching sides.

Here’s the truth from my side:

I’ve coached 723+ AI Automation Agency owners in Liam Ottley’s AAA Accelerator for 2 years.

(Yes, long before he hit 656k YouTube subs and 244k Skool members.)

That’s way over 1000 coaching calls.

On top of 20 years in sales, SaaS, and custom development.

Here’s what I learned:

None of these AI business models are magic.

They all can work... just not how the gurus pitch them.

That’s why I made this video about AI Automation Agencies

(after the one crushing the AI SaaS myth)

Watch the video here

Inside, I share:

• Why the backlash against AAA is wrong

• 7 harsh truths about AAA no one tells you

• The real reason most people fail

• A simple way to land your first real clients

• Why AAA is a very good business model to start with

• What to expect if you pivot to SaaS, consulting, or education

No hype. No shortcuts. Just the real picture.

I made this video to give clarity, set the right expectations, and protect from shiny-object syndrome in this nonstop AI hype world.

Quick question: Are you using AI to grow your current business, or to start something new?
