I use Claude every day to run 3 companies and a 30-person team.
It pains me to watch people use the most transformative technology ever built like it's just a fancier Google Search.
Claude can change your life, but you have to use it correctly.

In 2024, Alex Hormozi gave a masterclass on how to market anything to anyone without wasting a single dollar.
His ideas:
- Volume negates luck
- Start free, then charge more than anyone else
- Your reputation is built by people who never buy

"Anthropic delivers a highly detailed summary for every sales call before they show up to it.
And makes sure every AE follows up on every single commit, by extracting action items from calls, Gong, @salesforce, @SlackHQ + more.
It summarizes everything every AE needs to do, and reminds the AE every single day what they still haven't done yet." -- Eleanor Dorfman, Head of Industries, Anthropic
I turned Claude into my personal assistant, and the productivity gains I've seen are insane.
This is something literally everyone should be doing with Opus 4.8.
You create a personal OS dashboard where Claude runs EVERYTHING in your life.
It saves me SO much time, and I wish I had done this sooner.
It took me 2+ weeks to get this right, but I'll teach you how to turn Claude into your personal assistant in <60 seconds:
What it does:
Tracks my tasks, calendar, finances, and business growth, health, and habits - all in one place (personal OS dashboard)
I can voice-prompt it via Telegram from anywhere.
It has a cloud memory system that self-evolves over time.
It's like having an app built specifically for me - except I can edit and add features whenever I want.
Here's exactly how to build it:
Step 1. Design your OS
Open Claude Design and describe the app you want to build.
Pick your theme, color palette, and any design assets.
Use this prompt to start:
"I'm building a personal OS with Claude Code. Help me
design the general theme and color palette to execute."
Step 2. Build it in Claude Code
Export your design to a Claude Code project.
Tell Claude you're building a personal OS and describe every feature you want:
- Task/CRM tracker
- Finance pulse
- Habit tracker
- Calendar
- Second brain
Claude handles the entire build.
Step 3. Set up cloud memory
Connect a cloud memory system - I used Supabase.
This is the real sauce. All your data lives in the cloud, meaning you can connect it to any front-end or AI platform you like.
Step 4. Add voice control (optional but worth it)
Create a Telegram bot via BotFather → webhook into Claude Code → push to Vercel.
Now you can voice-prompt your OS from anywhere - at your desk or on the go.
Step 5. Connect your apps + customise
Link Google Calendar, add a journaling function, habit tracker, finance APIs - whatever you need.
This is the fun part. Build it exactly how you want it.
The result:
Every morning, I scan my homepage - tasks sorted by priority, finances live, habits tracked, calendar loaded.
One screen. Zero friction. Completely mine.
Save this - you'll want to come back to it so you can actually build this.
NVIDIA QUIETLY DROPPED A $249 BOX THAT REPLACES YOUR $200/MONTH OPENAI SUBSCRIPTION WITH $2 IN ELECTRICITY
it's called the jetson orin nano super. smaller than a wallet, runs at 25 watts, does 70 trillion ai operations per second. runs llama 3, mistral, gemma and deepseek locally with no api fees and no data leaving your house
a developer running automations and coding assistants pays $200 a month to openai. the same workload on this box costs $2 a month in electricity and breaks even in 10 weeks
install ollama with one command. change one line in your code. point it at localhost instead of openai. everything else works identically
7 billion parameter models handle 80% of what people use chatgpt for. summarization, drafting, coding, document q&a, automation pipelines. total monthly cost drops from $200 to $22
cloud subscriptions keep getting more expensive and rate limits keep getting tighter. the people who set this up in 2025 are going to look very smart in 2027

9 Claude Prompts for Backlink Building (That Actually Work):
(Steal these. They've saved me 100s of hours.)
Most SEOs use AI wrong for backlinks.
They ask for "a list of websites" and get garbage.
The trick is being specific & strategic.
Here's how I do it:
1. Competitor Backlink Gap Analysis
"Act as an SEO strategist. Compare my website (insert URL) to (3 competitor URLs). List 20 types of websites linking to them that I should also target. Group by category."
2. Linkable Asset Brainstorm
"You're a content strategist. Based on my niche (insert niche), give me 15 linkable asset ideas — calculators, templates, original studies, free tools — that journalists & bloggers would naturally link to."
3. Outreach Email Templates
"Write 5 cold outreach emails to pitch a guest post on (topic) to SaaS blogs. Each email should have a different angle: stat-driven, story-driven, mutual benefit, contrarian take, and bold offer."
4. Podcast Pitch Generator
"Act as a PR rep. Write a 100-word pitch to land me on a podcast about (topic). Include 3 unique talking points, my credibility, and a clear ask. Make it conversational, not corporate."
5. HARO Response Builder
"You're a journalist's dream source. Here's a HARO query: (paste). Write a 200-word response with a real-world example, data point, and clear quotable line they can pull."
6. Digital PR Story Angles
"Act as a digital PR expert. My niche is (insert). Generate 10 unique data study or trend angles that journalists in (industry) would cover. Include the headline, hook, and target publication."
7. Backlink Outreach Personalization
"Take this generic outreach email (paste) and rewrite it 5 different ways — each personalized for a different recipient persona: a solo blogger, a content manager, a marketing director, a journalist, and a podcast host."
8. Resource Page Targeting
"Find me 10 search queries to discover resource pages in the (industry) niche where I could pitch my content (insert URL). Include Google search operators."
9. Broken Link Replacement Pitch
"Write a 150-word email pitching my article (insert URL) as a replacement for a broken link on a target site. Make it helpful, not salesy. Include a P.S. with a second resource."

Working capital is the most underestimated force in business.
Let’s imagine you have a business running at $ 500k per month of sales.
All of a sudden you experience a breakout moment:
- 15% sales growth month-over-month for a year
- With a net income margin of 10%
Extending that growth will lead to a total of $14.5M sales in the first year and $1.45M net income.
Now make some working capital assumptions:
- Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) of 30 Days
- Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) of 30 Days
- Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) of 30 Days
i.e. a Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) of 30 Days: (DSO + DIO - DPO).
Despite the $1.45M profitability, the business won’t generate any cashflow in year one. In fact it will outflow ~$375k of cash over those twelve months as it lays down the additional working capital needed to react to the growth.
Now, lets run some scenarios (see the image) assuming that same business starts with $ 1M of cash on the balance sheet:
If we assume the same dynamics, but instead imagine the business had poor inventory control, and ran on a CCC of 90 days. That same business would now have a negative cash balance of ~$3m by Christmas… or more accurately would be dead by June.
And at that CCC, even if the business 2.5x that net margin to 25%, the business would still run out of cash in 9 months (that is despite now generating ~$3.6M of profit).
Now imagine the opposite were true, the business, ran on a negative CCC of 60 days, funded by a willing supplier; with very tight inventory and receivables levels.
In this scenario, even if the net margin were only 5%, the cash balance would explode to over $ 5M (positive) by the end of the year.
In fact, at a negative 60 days CCC, even if the business operated at a 25% net loss margin, it would still survive the year (just about).
This illustrates how much more sensitive working capital (and cashflow) is to changes in the business, than any profit metric you can choose.
I call this effect: The Cashflow Megaphone.
And as a long time turnaround CFO, understanding this inside out was the most valuable technical weapon in my armory in bending broken cashflows back into the black.
And in times of volatile trading and macro conditions, these dynamics are more important than ever (especially when supply chains are gummed up like they are right now)
One day, my daughter pointed at my head and said, "Dad, you are going bald."
I'd been hiding under hats for months as my crown thinned. My dad went bald early, so I figured that was my path.
But I decided to see if I could reverse it, and it worked really, really well: (1/14)
