A Simple Hack That Changed How I Think About Money

A friend of mine is about to sell his second company for eight figures. When he told me how he thinks about money, it genuinely rewired how I look at business.

He doesn’t think in dollars. He thinks in units.

For him, 1 unit = $50,000

When he looks at an opportunity, he’s not asking: “How much can I make from this?”

He’s asking: “How many units can I generate per month?”

• Can this do 5 units? ($250K/month)

• Can this do 10 units? ($500K/month)

When your brain isn’t intimidated by the number, it starts solving for it.

$500K/month feels abstract, whereas 10 units feels solvable.

If you’re starting to see how powerful this kind of thinking is, this is exactly how we approach building custom AI workflows inside agencies.

We don’t just install tools; we help you break your entire operation down, then build custom AI systems that help you hit them faster.

The Deeper Shift

This is what wealthy operators do better than anyone else:

They simplify. They take something that feels overwhelming and reduce it into something executable.

And once that happens, momentum kicks in.

I’ve started applying this to everything:

• New offers

• Hiring decisions

• Pricing

• Growth targets

Instead of asking, “Is this big enough?”

I ask:  “How many units does this produce?”

That one shift removes emotion from the equation and replaces it with clarity.

A Quick Opportunity

I’ve been seeing a ton of demand from founders who don’t just want theory–they want to actually learn how to use the tools driving this shift.

So I’m starting to test something new:

1:1 training for founders and executives on tools like Claude Code and Cursor.

Not surface-level tutorials.

We’re talking about:

• How to actually use them in your day-to-day

• How to build custom AI workflows inside your company

• How to turn these tools into real operational leverage

We’re opening up 1-3 spots to start.

Final Thought

Most people don’t fail because the opportunity isn’t there.

They fail because the number is too big for their brain to engage with.

Shrink the problem. Solve the problem. Scale the result.
