AI Tools That Actually Make Money: Secrets from 2 Successful Entrepreneurs

AI is all you hear about… But how does it ACTUALLY save you time and increase output? Marie Mack, Sean Malone and Simon Severino get deep into the weeds:

The "Google Workspace + Claude" Million-Dollar Combo

Everything lives in Google Workspace - emails, calendar, docs, folders. Then I plug Claude Pro into that ecosystem. Now when I ask "What am I avoiding that's important?" it searches my calendar, emails, and files to give contextual answers. It knows I book myself full of meetings, so it suggests I'm avoiding meeting friends. This isn't generic AI - it's personalized intelligence.

The "Executive Assistant for $70/Month" Breakthrough

Meet Fixer.ai - the virtual EA that joins every Zoom call, clusters my 200 daily emails by priority, and speaks 30+ languages. Jay Abraham's meetings have one-two human assistants costing $100K+/year. My side? Fixer.ai drafts follow-up emails in Gmail before the meeting ends. Michelle (my real assistant) now focuses on high-impact activities like joint ventures instead of sitting in meetings.

The "150 Ideas, Zero Execution" Trap

Biggest mistake we made: Spent two weeks at AI conferences collecting 150 ideas but executed NONE. Every Friday we realized we were learning instead of doing. Solution? Picked one tool (Claude), went deep, executed one idea weekly. Stop being a conference collector - become an AI implementer.

Why I Chose Anthropic Over OpenAI

Everyone asks why Claude over ChatGPT. Simple: I don't trust OpenAI's leadership. Dario Amodei at Anthropic shows higher integrity - slower growth, less capital, but they walk the talk. Even their colors and interaction feel like talking to someone you trust. When you're betting your business, character matters more than features.

The "Strategic Action vs Massive Action" Revolution

Used to think it was about massive action. Then strategic massive action. Now it's just strategic action. When you're busy being busy, you miss opportunities. I make 3 introductions before 11 AM daily, but it's quality over quantity. One deep relationship with Dan Kennedy beats 10,000 generic outreaches.

The Monday-Friday Framework That Prevents Shiny Object Syndrome

Monday: Everyone declares weekly priorities publicly. Mine? Book with Jay Abraham, 25 outreaches daily, daily introductions. Wednesday-Thursday: Execute with no meetings. Friday: Measure and learn. This structure lets you stay creative and playful while maintaining focus. Learning is fun, but shipping is everything.

The Time Study Secret That Reveals AI Opportunities

Before choosing any AI tool, do what Alex Sharfen taught me: Track every 15 minutes for two weeks. You'll see exactly where inefficiency lives. Then match AI tools to those specific problems instead of randomly trying everything. Problem-first, tool-second approach saves months of frustration.

The Claude Dashboard That Clients Pay Millions For

Client asks: "Should I increase prices or add one more client with only 2 hours to work on business?" I told Claude: "Build a real-time dashboard to answer this." One hour later? Dashboard shows revenue vs profit impact of every decision. Green for profit optimization. Uploaded to Sprint Club - now generating revenue from a $20/month tool.
