The Cyclone

Sometimes life hands you perfect metaphors.

Last week, a literal cyclone tore through my region.

Trees down. Power outages. Flooding. The works.

My home was fortunately spared the worst of it — we didn’t even lose power. But watching the chaos unfold around us was surreal.

And then, just as the literal storm was settling, I made the decision to create a metaphorical one inside our business.

The Six-Month Circle

Here’s a painful confession: after six months of exploring different business models, testing concepts, and pivoting our offering…

I’ve ended up almost exactly where I started.

Literally.

The model we’re moving to now is remarkably similar to what we had six months ago before the marketplace idea, before the membership focus, before all the diversions.

It feels like I’ve wasted half a year going in a giant circle, with less money in the bank to show for it.

But here’s the thing about those seemingly wasted journeys — they’re rarely actually wasted.

They’re necessary explorations to confirm what you knew (or should have known) in the beginning.

The Big Change

So here it is: We’re simplifying everything.

Everyone who purchases even a single template now gets access to the community features.

Full posts, tech support events, and more.

Why? Because:

1. Templates are our superpower. It’s what we’re genuinely great at building — fully integrated, production-ready automation systems that actually work for real businesses.
2. Client work energizes us. Working directly with businesses to implement these systems plays to our strengths.
3. It suits my personality. The membership model requires a different type of consistent content and engagement that, if I’m honest, doesn’t align with how I work best.

Plus, do you really need another subscription? Probably not.

The Product Roadmap

One benefit of this clarity is a much more focused product development calendar:

1. AI Meme Agent OS — Dropping next week.
2. Project Command OS 2.0 — Coming next month. The complete rebuild we’ve been working on.
3. Content Automation OS 4.0 — Landing in May. Our flagship product gets a nice update.
4. AI Tube Agent OS — Scheduled for June. YouTube automation that actually works.

Plus several smaller templates and partner products.

The Lesson Here

Sometimes the most valuable business lesson is recognizing when you’ve been trying too hard to reinvent yourself.

It’s easy to get caught up in new models, new offerings, new everything — when your original idea was actually the right one. You just needed the confidence to fully commit to it.

The storm clears the path.

Both literally and figuratively.

Keep building,
Mitch
