Fighting bad software, one system at a time | Software should serve you, not the other way round.

@EmailCopyJames I eliminated paperwork and friction by building a little app to track my business expenses using my phone.

I live in Japan, we don't have QuickBooks and the Japanese equivalent is a pain to use.

Now I take a photo, log the expense in a DB and send it to my accountant.

The most powerful automation is elimination.

What have you eliminated today?

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

A business owner asked me how to implement AI.

I told them not to.

They didn't need AI. They needed better systems.

4-5 hours of meetings. Years of knowledge, captured.

The Result:
One database. Enter it once. Dynamic scheduling, automated payroll, and invoicing, with 75% less copy-paste error.

Same headcount. But now their people spend time with clients instead of spreadsheets.

High-touch IS their business model.

AI would have added technology.

We removed friction so the humans could do what only humans can do.

That's why you hire a human.

@KaiCromwell It's took a lifetime of experience, but I finally realized that problems are a good thing.

The more problems the faster you learn and improve.

@getpaidwrite Simply write.

@thezlatkom Because you can get angry with me and I will listen.

AI tells you you were right to be angry apologizes and promptly repeats the same mistake.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@JarvisKa Which is why we humans are still so important.

@DanielPriestley Assymetric risk and long tail distributions.

Infinite opportunity if you have the guts to fail.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@stijnnoorman Now, how do I teach this to AI so it stops over explaining everything?

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@goodolddancom @AlexHormozi Just started reading Pre-suasion yesterday. It's been on my list for a while.

@russellbrunson 1,000 reps of anything will increase your confidence.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@KevinSzabo14 It's all about the long tail distribution.

@unclebobmartin Shall we play a game?

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@Jayyanginspires The goal is to grow. The hardship you overcome is what causes it. Winning is what everyone else calls it.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@RobertGreene The most dangerous limitations are the ones you don't think you have.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@AlexHormozi Empower, don't automate.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

The number of businesses suffering from cobbled-together tools drives me crazy.

Your business pays a tax every day — copy-paste, tab-flipping, re-enter, repeat.

Stop accepting mediocrity from your software.

Custom software is no longer just for enterprise companies.

[Mike Humphrey @Mike__Humphrey]

@DanielPriestley Much more powerful.

Love it!
