Greet from the deep,

It’s the AI Solopreneur here.

If you want to do anything of the below:

• Make a living as a solopreneur, but don’t have a skill that you can monetize

• Are learning a digital skill right now

• Want to become better at your craft

• Make more money

…I wrote this edition for you.

We’ll cover:

• What is a high-income skill (+ examples)

• How you can learn a high-income skill in 8 weeks

• What the “Cycle of Improvement” is and what it means for learning

• How you can use AI to speed up your feedback loops and learn 2X faster

But first:

If you think about it, reading this - or any other - newsletter is kinda like drinking a protein shake:

You can enjoy it by itself, but it becomes 10X more tasty and useful if you put in the supplementary work.

Drinking a bunch of protein shakes without going to the gym will taste well…

…but won’t build you muscles.

Likewise, reading a bunch of AI Solopreneur newsletters will teach you something useful…

…but if you don’t execute it, you won’t get results.

(although I can guarantee that you will see many funny and slightly cringe selfies of me!)

Point is, you gotta put in the reps in to make it happen.

Now, you’ll learn about how you can speed up the learning process.

Hint: it’s not about doing faster reps

Let’s dive in:

What’s a high-income skill?

A high income skill that enables you to enough money to make a living.

You need to have at least basic knowledge of one of them to become a full-time solopreneur.

Examples of high-income skills:

• Coding

• Marketing

• Copywriting

• Pesto-making

• Prompt Engineering

If you want to learn one from scratch, here’s my process:

How you can learn a high-income skill in 8 weeks

I got good, bad, and great news for you:

The good news:

Learning a high-income skill is simple:

You just gotta do the skill over and over again, putting in the reps, until you’re good at it.

The bad news:

Learning a high-income skill is like building muscle.

There is no shortcut for putting in the reps.

Why?

I love how Alex Hormozi puts it: (paraphrasing)

“It’s not 1 big piece of knowledge that’s keeping you from being good, it’s 100 small things.”

By putting in the reps, you learn these small things.

You make the 1% gains that slowly make you great at what you’re doing.

Now, to the GREAT news:

You can still use AI to speed up the learning process 2X.

How?

Well, to make these 1% gains and learn a skill, you need to go through the “Cycle of Improvement”:

First, you learn enough to do the skill for the first time.

Then, you do the skill until you get feedback.

Then, you look at the feedback and learn from it

Then, with what you just learned, you do the skill again

etc.

The faster you move through this cycle, the faster you learn.

Most people get feedback slower than a 1/10 gets laid in the club...

...which slows down their learning process.

This is where the secret Szechuan sauce comes in: (for learning, not for the 1/10)

By using AI to create rapid feedback loops, you can learn 2X faster.

Why AI is your best coach

AI can analyze your performance in real-time and give instant feedback (that would take a human coach hours to give).

This means you can make adjustments on the fly, getting better faster.

Here’s a prompt to help you do this:

Prompt: The RepMaster 3000 🏋️‍♀️

This prompt helps you learn anything much faster by giving you fast feedback.

How it helps:

• Provides instant feedback on your performance

• Helps you identify areas for improvement

• Helps you learn fast without human feedback (a luxury)

Here’s the prompt:

I want you to act as "RepMaster 3000", an AI world-class performance coach specialised in helping individuals to learn new skills ultra-fast.

The way you do this is by giving actionable and precise feedback and areas of improvement to me in an encouraging tone.

The skill I want to learn is: [INSERT YOUR SKILL]

Here's my most recent work I produced to learn this skill:

Now, do 3 things:

1) Silently read through my work
2) Give me actionable and precise feedback and areas of improvement to me in an encouraging tone.
3) Give me 3 actionable action steps I should implement the next time I do this skill

Here’s the coaching it gave me about becoming a better email copywriter:

I used this feedback to improve the newsletter before I sent it out.

Wrap up

Getting a high-income skill is cool.

But you know what’s even cooler?

Spending that income on original hungarian goulash.

No better place to get it than Budapest.

I’m staying in an appartment that makes me feel like I’m in an old museum.

Kinda cool.

I’ll go out and have some delicious mama-style goulash now.

Keep diving,

Ole

P.S. Send me a pic of your weekend food, I need inspiration.
