The AI That Does Your Job for $20/Month Just Launched. Pay Attention Coaches & Freelancers

If you're a coach, freelancer, consultant, or VA still trading hours for dollars, what I'm about to share will either save your business or confirm your worst fears.

Yesterday, I spoke with a business owner who downsized his team from 6 people to 2. Not because revenue dropped—but because AI made 5 positions obsolete. And this isn't an outlier. This is the new normal.

But here's what really should terrify you: Established coaches are now launching AI versions of themselves. David Graham just released David.ai—an AI tool that delivers his entire coaching methodology for $20/month. 24/7 access. Instant answers. Twenty dollars.

So if you're a small coach charging $2,000 for a coaching package, or a freelancer charging $100/hour, or a consultant trying to land clients one at a time—how exactly are you going to compete with that?

In this no-BS episode, you'll discover:

  • The real story behind the 6-to-2 team reduction (and why it's happening everywhere)
  • Why the traditional one-on-one service model is dead (even if you don't want to believe it)
  • How AI coaching clones are about to destroy small coaches with small followings
  • The specific jobs and roles disappearing fastest in 2025
  • Why "working harder" and "posting more content" won't save you
  • The only business model that can't be automated or replaced by AI
  • What "semi-passive income" really means (and why it's your only way forward)

This episode will make you uncomfortable. That's the point.

Because if you go into 2025 doing exactly what you did in 2024, there's a very real chance you won't have a viable business 12 months from now. Not because you're not good enough. But because the market has fundamentally changed.

The entrepreneurs who thrive in 2025 and beyond won't be the most talented or experienced—they'll be the ones who adapted fastest. The ones who saw what was coming and transformed their business model before it was too late.

This is your wake-up call. The question is: will you hit snooze or take action?

If you're ready to stop waiting and start building something that can actually compete in an AI-driven world, book a free 2026 clarity call. Link in the show notes. Limited spots available.

Perfect for: Coaches, freelancers, consultants, VAs, service providers, and anyone who trades time for money and wonders if their business model will survive.

Warning: This episode contains hard truths about the current state of service-based businesses. If you're not ready to hear it, save this for when you are.

In just 15–20 minutes, I can help you uncover the hidden inefficiencies that are costing you both time and money in your business. Most owners don’t realize how much energy is wasted on repetitive tasks, gaps in processes, and systems that don’t actually support growth. During our call, I’ll listen closely to how your business is currently running, pinpoint one or two areas where you may be sabotaging your own scalability, and show you a clear next step to reclaim control. Whether you decide to work with me further or not, you’ll leave with immediate clarity on what’s holding your business back — and the confidence of knowing exactly where to focus to create more freedom and profit.
