The Founder’s Shortcut Newsletters
Every week, I’m sending you three things that save you time, get you clarity, and move your business forward

Previous Issues of The Founder’s Shortcut
#1
Founder’s First Shortcut
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Veed.io 🎥
Good for: turning raw video into polished, ready-to-post content.
How to use it (step by step):
Why it matters: Most founders have ideas worth sharing but get stuck in editing purgatory. Veed.io eliminates the overwhelm so you can actually publish content that attracts clients and builds trust.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Progress > perfection.
When I built my first startup, I spent three weeks obsessing over a sales pitch deck. Fonts, color palettes, slide order — everything had to be flawless.
You know what happened? The investor barely looked at the slides. He wanted to hear my conviction, not my kerning.
That was the day I stopped worshipping perfection. Clients, customers, and investors don’t care if your pitch, sales page, or first product video is polished to the bone. They care if you show up, communicate clearly, and keep moving forward.
Momentum is magnetic. Perfection is paralysis.
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Act as a marketing coach. Give me 3 client acquisition strategies I can run on repeat that don’t require a big budget or team, and show me where AI can save me time."
👉 Copy it into ChatGPT, run it, and you’ll see fast, low-lift ways to grow without burning out.
Example Output for a Wellness E-commerce Brand (Adaptogenic Teas):
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.

Build a Smarter Team, Not a Bigger One
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Folk App 👥
Good for: Managing relationships and leads without the chaos of spreadsheets or CRMs that need a manual to use.
How to use it (step-by-step):
Why it matters: Early-stage founders don’t need Salesforce. You need clarity. Folk gives you a simple, human way to track who matters most — clients, investors, or collaborators — so you can nurture relationships that actually move the business forward.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
When I built my first company, I made a classic mistake.
I hired senior people too early.
I thought a big title meant big results. It didn’t.
Here’s the truth: early-stage companies don’t need a CMO. They need a Head of Marketing who can grow into a CMO.
Why? Because early-stage work is messy. You’re still figuring things out. You need builders, not managers.
People who can test, pivot, and get their hands dirty — not just delegate.
Your first hires should be learners with drive, not veterans with playbooks that don’t fit your stage.
The best people grow with your business. They’ll make mistakes, learn fast, and become the leaders your company actually needs — when it’s ready for them.
So before you hire your next “senior” exec, ask:
Do I need experience — or hunger?
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Develop a unique selling proposition for [product/service] targeting [ideal customer persona]. Include what makes it different, why it matters, and how to communicate it clearly in one sentence."
👉 Try it with your current offer — you’ll instantly spot where your positioning needs sharpening.
Example Output:
“The AI Accelerator helps early-stage founders build profitable, systemized businesses in 6 weeks — using AI, strategy, and mindset — without hiring a team or burning out.”
See? Clear. Focused. Credible.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.
And if you’re ready for the full system — not just pieces — that’s what we build inside The AI Accelerator. Six weeks to go from scattered to scalable, with AI, strategy, and systems that actually grow your business.

Stop doing what doesn’t pay you first
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Metricool
Good for: Tracking, planning, and analyzing your entire online presence — all in one dashboard.
How to use it (step-by-step):
Why it matters: Most founders create endlessly but never measure what works. Metricool takes the guesswork out of your content strategy — so every post, story, or ad connects directly to growth.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Do what actually makes money first.
Before checking emails, tweaking your website, or organizing Notion — ask yourself:
👉 “What’s the one action today that moves revenue forward?”
For me, it used to be pitching investors, writing sales emails, or following up with warm leads. Those came before inbox zero or aesthetics.
When I stopped pretending that “being busy” meant “building momentum,” my revenue grew — fast.
I built my first AI business this way. No perfect systems, no fancy dashboards. Just focus on income-generating work first, then everything else second.
Because clarity isn’t about having time for everything. It’s about protecting time for what matters most.
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Write a compelling 30-second elevator pitch for [business idea] tailored to [specific audience]. Make it clear, confident, and persuasive enough to spark interest in one sentence."
Example Output:
“I help solopreneurs turn their scattered ideas into profitable AI-powered businesses by using simple systems that generate consistent income — without hiring a team or burning out.”
Try it. Refine it. Practice it until it rolls off your tongue like truth.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.
And if you’re ready for the full system — not just pieces — that’s what we build inside The AI Accelerator. Six weeks to go from scattered to scalable, with AI, strategy, and systems that actually grow your business.

You don’t need more followers — you need smarter partnerships
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Gamma
Good for: Turning complex ideas into beautiful, engaging presentations — without touching PowerPoint or Canva.
How to use it (step-by-step):
Why it matters: Founders waste hours designing when they should be communicating. Gamma removes that friction — so your ideas look polished, fast. Perfect for pitch decks, sales presentations, or investor updates.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Build systems before scale.
Stop chasing more.
More content. More followers. More tools.
Your real bottleneck isn’t output — it’s organization.
Without a clear system that connects your marketing, sales, and delivery, you’re just spinning faster on the same hamster wheel.
Here’s the truth: consistency doesn’t come from discipline — it comes from structure.
Create one repeatable weekly system that runs your business like a machine:
→ Content → Leads → Sales → Delivery.
Then scale that.
You don’t need a bigger business.
You need a smarter system.
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"List 10 creative lead magnet ideas for a [type of business] to grow an email list. Include both digital and interactive formats, with short descriptions for each."
Example Output:
For a wellness coach:
Use this prompt to generate lead magnets that actually attract qualified leads — not just random signups.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.
And if you’re ready for the full system — not just pieces — that’s what we build inside The AI Accelerator. Six weeks to go from scattered to scalable, with AI, strategy, and systems that actually grow your business.

Why I stopped paying for ads (and what I did instead)
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Notion
Good for: Connecting all your business dots in one smart workspace.
How to use it (step by step):
Why it matters: Most founders don’t have a documentation problem — they have a decision problem. Notion AI helps you think, plan, and organize without juggling 10 different tools. It’s like having a smart project manager who never gets tired.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Grow by partnering with companies who have the same ICP as yours.
When I launched one of my startups, I didn’t have a big ad budget. But I had clarity — I knew exactly who my ideal customers were.
So instead of chasing ads, I looked for companies who already had my audience — but weren’t competitors.
For example:
If you coach founders, partner with someone offering finance systems.
If you run an AI design tool, team up with a content strategist.
If you sell wellness products, collaborate with a lifestyle brand.
You share audiences, double your reach, and instantly earn trust — without paying for ads or fighting algorithms.
Partnerships compound faster than campaigns.
It’s not about more followers — it’s about aligned visibility.
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Draft a high-converting landing page copy for [product/service] targeting [audience]. Include headline, subheadline, key benefits, social proof, and a clear CTA that drives signups or sales."
Example Output:
Headline: Build your business smarter — not harder.
Subheadline: A 6-week roadmap for founders who want clarity, systems, and consistent income — powered by AI.
Benefits:
✅ Save 10+ hours a week with automation
✅ Get a clear roadmap to grow without burnout
✅ Build marketing and sales systems that actually convert
✅ Stop guessing what to do next — know it
CTA: Join The AI Accelerator — 6 weeks to clarity, systems, and scalable income.
Use it to refine your own pages. The best landing pages aren’t complicated — they’re clear.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.

Your first hire isn’t human — it’s AI
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 Kleo
Good for: Building your own branded AI assistants that actually understand your business — no coding required.
How to use it (step-by-step):
Why it matters: AI isn’t just about saving time. It’s about extending your capacity. Kleo helps you scale without hiring, by giving you a digital teammate that knows your voice, your brand, and your goals.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Treat AI as your first hire.
Your AI tools aren’t “nice to have.”
They are your team — if you train them right.
Most founders play with AI.
Few actually integrate it.
Start by assigning AI one real role in your business — content assistant, marketing analyst, or sales copywriter.
Give it context: your tone, your offers, your clients.
Then build prompts like SOPs — and make it work daily.
Don’t use AI for ideas.
Use it for implementation.
The founders who grow fast don’t have more time — they have smarter systems that do the heavy lifting.
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Create a 5-step follow-up email sequence for leads who haven't responded to initial outreach. Each email should be concise, value-driven, and focused on re-engagement without sounding pushy."
Example Output:
Email 1: Quick reminder — are you still exploring [solution]?
Email 2: Here’s one insight that could save you [X problem].
Email 3: Real story — how one founder solved [pain point].
Email 4: Still on your radar? Let’s make this simple.
Email 5: Last call — want me to close the loop or keep you updated?
Use it to create a nurturing system that turns “no replies” into new conversions.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.
And if you’re ready for the full system — not just pieces — that’s what we build inside The AI Accelerator. Six weeks to go from scattered to scalable, with AI, strategy, and systems that actually grow your business.

Stop building more. Start selling smarter.
1. AI Tool of the Week 📌 NeetoRecord
Good for: turning every meeting into searchable knowledge.
How to use it (step by step):
Why it matters: Most founders forget that clarity comes from reviewing what you’ve said and promised. NeetoRecord keeps every conversation organized so you can follow up, improve systems, and make smarter decisions — fast.
2. Founder Tip of the Week 💡
Don’t create more features. Sell what you already have — and focus.
Early-stage founders get stuck in “more mode.”
More features. More tools. More offers.
But 9 times out of 10, the problem isn’t what you’re selling.
It’s how you’re selling it.
When I built my first startup, I kept adding new features thinking that would make sales easier. It didn’t.
What did?
Telling a clearer story about what already worked.
You don’t need more complexity — you need more clarity.
The founders who win aren’t the ones building faster.
They’re the ones communicating better.
Before you add anything new, ask: Have I truly optimized what’s already in front of me?
3. Prompt of the Week ✨
Drop this into ChatGPT:
"Craft a 5-point brand story for [brand name] to use on the website and social media. It should include: origin, mission, customer transformation, vision for the future, and unique differentiator."
👉 Then ask ChatGPT to write it in three styles:
You’ll walk away with a story that builds trust, not just traffic.
That’s it for this week. Three simple ways to move from chaos to clarity.
And if you’re ready for the full system — not just pieces — that’s what we build inside The AI Accelerator. Six weeks to go from scattered to scalable, with AI, strategy, and systems that actually grow your business.
