@Xelas : As someone who has been in the agency space before, and who might go back, I’d recommend you stay with Stark. It is way more suited to AI- driven businesses than anything else. The other sub, I would consider for an AI business is Nouveau RICH. In a perfect world, I would stack both.

Got it. Thanks for your help! Nouveau Rich will also be on my radar, perhaps I’ll give it a try in my stack sometime in the near future

As someone using AI regularly personally, professionally, and side income wise, ASBR has been the AI difference maker.
And I say that having Index Gate in a custom with Mogul.
I love Stark. It’s an overall life booster, but specifically for the AI part of your biz, you may find ASBR better suited.
For example, I used my IGxMogul custom last year. It was great, but there was an AI roadblock that I couldn’t get past even after switching to a Stark custom.
Fast forward to now, several cycles into running ASBR and I was able to blow past the sticking point that was hampering my ability to code production ready apps with AI. Now I’m killing it and I’ve easily surpassed my previous sticking points.

Was considering ASBR as well but I feel like at this point in my journey it might be a bit too much. Especially stacked with WB 
Stark is great for what your doing and WB makes you stand out. WB also improves communication with everyone. I would suggest to just add AHJ once a week or so to get back that joy while working or maybe E:E to feel energized after working

@Xelas : I second this. Just run Stark + WB until you feel like your business is at a place where you’re ready to scale 10x or more. Then switch Stark for ASBR

Such a great idea. Have to implement that for myself.

Yeah, it’s just one idea, you can come up with countless other ones too, they work great. Also, doesn’t have to be this specifically, just get yourself anything you sincerely want, don’t reinvest 100% lol.
Just make sure that you are doing it as soon as possible after getting money and ideally, you should not be able to afford it before earning that kind of money. Like, be broke before you earned money, so to speak lol - make sure the money is inaccessible - that would be an ideal scenario: you don’t have money → you earn money → you spend half of it on fun → the connection is clear that earning money = enjoyment.
Also, it works extremely well if you additionally live in discomfort (i.e. wash in cold shower, sleep on the floor, etc. - but the important thing is to build your environment that way, not to push yourself to lie on the floor when you have a comfy bed nearby - it will just decrease your energy). And also, start fulfiling your basic needs rarer, but more intensely (again, make it so that you physically can’t eat/drink - don’t push yourself to endure it). Don’t masturbate or watch porn, but do have sensitive sex full of passion. Eat once a day or even not every day but eat highest quality, tastiest steak you can get. And so forth. I promise you if you implement it, your quality of life and motivation will 100x in a very short time lol

Did you read this book?
Amazon.com: A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy: 0884563738408: Irvine, William B.: Bücher
Your ideas sounds very familiar with the remarkable Stoic philosophy. Great advise, by the way. Thanks.

I have not, I’ll check it out, thanks. I just stumbled upon those ideas somewhere on the internet a while ago. Also, it’s just basic positive reinforcement + gamification with no willpower (relying on willpower doesn’t work for me for more than 2 weeks MAX lol), once you get the principle, you can come up with countless techniques like that
I might write some more tips like this in my journal in the future, if I ever get the inspiration haha

I can only recommend it. It’s a good read.

Thank you everyone for recommendations… I’m still a bit confused tbh cause I can’t decide between genesis mogul and Stark. But I’m taking the washout so I’ll have time to decide
While you’re washing out and deciding, I will share with you an example from this week of my AI Escapades and why I still stand for ASBR as the product you should use to really advance in your AI usage.
This week, I downloaded 18 books about emotional regulation. I then uploaded those books to Google Notebook LLM. There’s an audio overview feature in which the AI will scan your sources and then create a podcast to summarize the information.
I listened to the podcast and there was a specific exercise that was mentioned. And I thought, wow, that would be really cool as a simple web app that anybody could use to quickly calm themselves down.
That was Tuesday.
Yesterday, Wednesday, I spent a little bit of time using AI to plan out and code the web app. I had a working prototype within an hour.
And now I have an idea to add other exercises to it.
Even though this was completely a one-off idea that came from listening to something I’m interested in, I’m going to continue building it out at a few more features and put it up with just a simple donation button if people find it useful.

I threw the prototype up on a temp site Flow State.
Is it going to change world? No. But it’s my own little tool that I can share with my kids and have them use when they need help regulating their emotions.
It’s also what’s possible. I have a little coding background from 25-20 years ago, but up until a little over a year ago I hadn’t done any. I started out last year using the early versions of tools like Cursor. It showed me what was possible. I took a few months off of coding, while soft launching another tool I built on top of ChatGPT.
I came back to it in February. ASBR has been the catalyst for my recent success with bringing my ideas into reality. My use of AI is constantly improving with an ease that seems natural.

To me it’s pretty easy. Use Genesis: Mogul if you’re an absolute beginner in business. For example if you can’t understand things like profit and loss, if you have no network, no friends or mentors or if you don’t even know which direction to go in.
You have an idea of what you want to do and I think you already know how to implement. I like going fast. Stark looks like an accelerant for someone who is working on an AI automation agency. You do not give me the impression of being a newbie. Actually the real debate is between Stark and Nouveau RICH. If you were just starting out, I would probably agree with Mogul. That being said, some people with established careers have used Mogul to make even more money. I guess you’re going to have to try and see.

Woohoo. Very cool. I bookmarked the site and will use it in breaks of working. Thanks so much.
P.S.: a little suggestion: It would be very nice to have a little description of the three breathing techniques (or a link to a description).
It’s very cool. It seems you’re a man of action who follows through on what he starts.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to tweak it some more and brief descriptions would be helpful.
I let my children use it yesterday with interesting results. My oldest immediately felt calmer. My youngest immediately found a flaw in the system by changing the speed to a decimal number and turning a relaxing app into a recipe for hyperventilating. 
. I’ll fix that with some limits on the time intervals.
I wasn’t always this way. These subs work best with some action. A little but goes along way and results snowball faster than expected.
ASBR has been a game changer and this isn’t my 1st time running it, but combined with EOG (Stage 2 now) it is a super serum.

My suggestion is to try witjout wanted a few days. Original wanted was awesome, but made me like a stoner determinatikn wise. this is the main reason I prefer wb over wanted, despite the harem scripting that Indo not want

@lovage Prior to my current stack I was using Wanted OG with Emperor, so Emperor definitely added determination. I’m using WB now though

@Seneca that’s quite a useful tool! I might give those exercises a go.
ASBR always seemed to me like a sub that would be most helpful if I already have my business going and doing quite well. Although, I did give ASBR a 5 minute loop before starting my washout just to get a feeling for it and how it would gel with WB and I already seemed to have manifested an opportunity - today I got a call from an old friend of mine who’s an event organiser and she asked me to help her out with moving some stuff for the party shes organising. She paid me for it (money manifestation) and she got interested in my AI automation services so we planned to talk and see how I could help her with market analysis and lead generation using AI (opportunity manifestation)
So yeah, ASBR does seem to work extremely fast.
