In this episode of The Jon Sanchez Show, Jon reviews current market activity before shifting focus to one of today’s fastest-growing trends: solopreneurship. Millions of people are stepping into business ownership without payroll or employees—relying instead on technology to build income streams and grow personal wealth. Jon is joined by Dennis Sanchez, “The AI Doctor,” to examine how artificial intelligence is changing the way solopreneurs launch side hustles, scale full-time ventures, and manage their financial goals. The conversation highlights opportunities, risks, and the long-term considerations for individuals navigating this new business landscape.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Good Monday Afterdodia. Welcome to the John Sanchez Show on
News Talk seven eighty koh. It's a pleasure to be
with you and a pleasure to be with one of
my two normal co hosts on Monday. Jason is busy
in an appointment, so we don't have him, this happen him.
But we have doctor Dennis Sanchez, the AI doctor. My brother.
How are you, my friend?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How you knowing, bro, fantastic man, fantastic. I always always
always look forward to having me on the program me too.
It is so good. How's life in the world of AI?
Just nothing going on? Right?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Just uh yeah, you mean like in the last five
minutes or right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's literally about it. I mean. Big news on Wall
Street today, Etsy is moving up dramatically as they announced
a open AI deal with them or open AI of course,
the parent of chat GPT is going to be handling
instant checkout for the shopping site. Another one that just
came out today, Walmart ceo AI is literally going to
change every job. How the best employees can still stand out,
(01:04):
you know, just little things like that, just just just
little things like that. You know, nothing going on in
the world of AI. Yeah, hold on one secon we
have little technical problem. One second. How about now there
we go. What I said was so brilliant too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I can recall it.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I can be able to remember it, go ahead, but
it was really you. I think you're going to see
more of that. Organizations changing their jobs to adapt to
the AI. I mean, let's face it. If AI comes
in and you're really you know, not replacing some of
the redundant tasks, but you know they they end up
ending up with free time, then what do you do
(01:53):
with that extra time? And so you change the job.
Now they can do other things too.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yes, and that's the idea. That is absolutely the idea.
And that is why we have doctor Sanchez on the
show each and every Monday for our AI segment, because again,
AI is changing our world, both on the personal side
and on the business side. It's having an influence and
many times, in many cases to your portfolio. Right. We
talk about the the videos and the Microsofts and the
Googles almost every day on this program, and in some
(02:19):
form of fashion, it seems the subject of AI comes
up with those companies. And I mean again, it's absolutely fascinating,
but to me, it's beyond beyond exciting. Folks, You're going
to be introduced today after I get through my stock
market update, You're going to be introduced to a term
that I think you're going to be hearing a lot
(02:40):
about in the future. For those of you that may
be happy with your job, you're looking for a little
moonlighting on the side those of you that may lose
your job for whatever reason. I'm not going to blame AI,
but you're like, what am I going to do now?
And to those of you that are currently with a company,
and like the Walmart CEO just said, how are you
(03:01):
going to adapt to AI? Well, we're gonna bring it
down to your personal side, right and we've got some
stats for you that are gonna absolutely blow you away
as far as the number of people that have and
will as you heard us say many times on this program, mondays,
that have or will be losing their job due to AI. Again,
(03:22):
it's just it's this new technology that so many people
have a choice. That choice is do you either adapt
to it and use it as your benefit as we
have in our firm and myself personally, as I've shared
with you my personal stories with it or are you
going to fight it. You're going to lose and you
may find yourself out of a job. So those are
really your choices that it's coming down to. I hate
(03:42):
to be a real blowt with everybody, but that's that's
literally about where things are going to. So we are,
of course the optimistic ones. We're here to help you
adapt to AI. And what we're going to be focusing
on is this term called a solo preneur. Solo preneur,
billions of people are becoming solopreneurs. What is that? That's
(04:03):
a business owner with no payroll, no real overhead. They're
working out of their home or maybe in their van
on a beach somewhere, and all they need is a computer,
no big payrolls, no brick and mortar, no overhead expenses.
It's almost like they're working for pure profit. They're building
up their net worth, they're saving money for retirement, and
most importantly, they're happy right for once in their life
(04:26):
they have unlimited control of their finances of building their
net worth, building equity into a business. All of you know,
of course, I've started over twenty three businesses in my lifetime.
First when I started at nineteen years old, a little
guardian business that ballooned into a very very large landscaping business.
It can happen to anybody, right, I'm no smarter than
any of you. But thank God number one and number two,
(04:49):
thank the Good Lord for having an entrepreneurial DNA because
it's it's sometimes it can be a curse.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I didn't want to say anything.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, well, we don't hold anything back. Sometimes it can
be a curse, and sometimes, of course, it can be
one of the most magnificent things in the world. You see,
us sanchez Is are born with a DNA entrepreneur. It's Bailey,
my daughter who's the producer of our show and head
of marketing for Sanchez Goan Capital Management. She has it.
My daughter, my other daughter, Brooke, She's got it. Dennis
(05:25):
has it. I have it. It's in the Sanchez DNA
and we want to That's why we're so excited to
share with you each and every Monday, how AI is
folding into this whole topic and how this is going
to work because we want you to be a beneficiary
of it. And so today we've got a very special
show that Dennis is put together. So again, whether you
look at AI and you go the solar preneurship. You know,
(05:47):
is this going to be again, is going to be
a side hustle. Is it going to be a full
time business. That'll be up to you. But we're going
to give you the tools because we're going to be
focusing on the solar preneurship for the next month. Dennis
has made the commitment that the month of October, each
and every Monday when he joins us, it's going to
be related to solarpreneurship. And we've got a great start
to that this afternoon. Because again, as I've said many times,
(06:11):
I think I just said it last Thursday or Friday.
I mean this from the bottom of my heart. There
has never ever, ever in the history of man, been
a better time to start a business than right now.
And why is that? Because again of AI and what
it can do for you. Now did us again not
(06:31):
to get too far into the weeds, because I got
to get to the stock market side of things. But literally,
how long would it take you and I if we
sat down right now and someone said, okay, I want
the Sancho's Boys to create a business. I don't care
what it is. How long would it take for us
with AI to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know, people are doing it in a day. They're
absolutely spinny. Yeah that I'm just giving it, you know,
I know, okay, you take a break in there, no
spin it up in one day. And they're designing their
systems to be able to do that quickly, you know,
(07:09):
go out building markets. The tools, the processes and things
are in place to do that, and you can do
it all day and all night.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well, I'm going to be a little bit more optimistic
than my brother. I'm going to say that time period
literally can be an under an hour. Yes, you heard
me correctly. I can start a business, and I'm talking
taking it from the idea to a swat analysis. That's
where you analyze. Those of you that have studied economics
and business, swat analysis is and analysis we do when
(07:39):
we started prior to starting a business, where we look
at our competitors and so on and so forth, to
the marketing plan, to a full financial forecast, to an
entire social media plan, and various marketing ideas. I can
do it all, and not just me. You folks can
do it, and you're going to be even more armed
(08:00):
do it after today's show and the preceding shows that
we're going to have over the next month, literally and
under an hour. No other time. I was joking and
pick into my personal life a little bit. We've got
a lot of great, great changes going on at the
brokerage firm right, just amazing things that we're implementing. AI
included and many other things. And I sat down yesterday
(08:24):
Saturday morning, got up at three o'clock and my wife
and I had a brainstorming session as we had our
morning coffee that's our quiet and our best time. We
had another business that's adjunct to the brokerage firm, designed
marketing plan, written financial projections, created, etc. It took us
two hours. One of those hours was creating the business
(08:45):
idea itself, and that's always the hardest part. But once
we had that idea and I dumped it into chat GPT,
within an hour, I had a logo and all of
the things I just mentioned, So I know what could
be done. I'm doing it myself. I'm no smarter than
any of you. You can do it yourself. You just
have to have a desire. But again, you've got to
learn how to use AI. You have to know what
(09:06):
to ask it and how to do this. But all
I can tell you, folks is please just again, if
you're looking for a moonlight situation, or you're just tired
of corporate America, there is no better time than right
now to consider solopreneurship once again, first time in history.
You don't have to go out and have payrolls. And
like I said, brick and mortar, you can sit at
the comfort of wherever that may be in your life
(09:28):
and create a business that, if you work it hard
and you continue to change it and you do the
right things, you have unlimited income potential. You really do.
That was a lot more compelling than your story.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
You know, I've over the years, I've found myself balancing
some of your enthusiasm. You're getting wiser, I say, because.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You're older, all right, I need some help here. Bring
my daughter on dot gone. Yeah, Bailey, Marie, get join in,
join in, help me out here. Who's right, your uncle
or your dad?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, don't put me in that position.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
First, you're you're there.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But you know how I feel about AI and how
efficient it has made my life personally and as a
business owner, and it has streamlined my processes a thousand
times over.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yes, Yes, real quickly, Bailey Wire on this subject, and
I want to talk to the marketing side just for
a second. And again this was a plan. This is
all off the cuff. Here, tell the folks what you
do with this show, what you're doing right now, and
what you do the minute the show concludes at about
three fifty six in the afternoon because of AI, just folks,
just a little glimpse into our life of how we
(10:39):
were using AI.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yes, so the platform that we are recording on right now.
As soon as our episode finishes, I press one button
and it compiles it into a fully edited episode for YouTube.
I export that within about five minutes after concluding the show.
Then I can post that, and then I press one
more button and it it's about six social media reels
(11:01):
with the most compelling portions of our episode, and I
can get those out. So within about fifteen minutes, I
have a fully edited YouTube episode and social media content
from our recording. And then I'm actually, as you guys
are talking, updating one hundred episodes that we've already recorded
with fresh descriptions, keywords to up our seo. Everything that
(11:25):
would take me a whole day, I've done in about
twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I was going to say, if you didn't have AI
and AI software, how long would it take for you
to do what you just said?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That would probably take me about two hours at least,
and that's me being proficient at video editing, But it
would be very, very long. It is expedited my workflow
process every day by a mile.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, And how many people are on your staff?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It is just me, just me doing the marketing. Yeah,
but I probably am doing the job of about three
people right now now that I have AI.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yes, yes, exactly. And that's the point to bring across
to all of you, back to the solopreneurship that Dennis
is going to be teaching us about. You can do
this right, you can do this with the with the
right software, etc. No matter what your business is, unless
you're physically having to go out and do something like
let's say you're a mechanic or something, obviously AI is
not going to help you.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's not true. Well the marketing the market yeah, marketing side, absolutely,
and business planning and so on and so forth. But
there are some professions where you physically have to do it.
But when you're like yest of us or you're sitting
behind a computer for fourteen hours a day. That's really
the target market right for solopreneurship. It's it's absolutely incredible.
(12:43):
So what we're going to be talking about with doctor
Sanchez when we get back from this break, I keep
my stock market update going. I promise I'm gonna do
it live. I'm not going to be a you know,
an AI person doing it. And then we're going to
get into our topic, how to become a solopreneur using AI.
How to become a solopreneur using AI with doctor Dennis Sanchez,
our very special guests, Let's turn it over to speaking
(13:03):
of another very special person in my life, Kristin Snow
in the right now Traffic Center. Hello, Kristen, Welcome back
to the John Sanchez Show on Newstalk seven to eighty KO,
which with my brother, doctor Dennis Sanchez, the AI Doctor.
Once again, we'll beginning into our topic, how to become
a solopreneur using AI. We're gonna help you get in
business right and this is just the beginning of many
(13:25):
mini series we're going to be doing over the next
few mondays with Dennis. The whole month of October is
going to be solopreneur month in the in the Sanchez household,
we'll call it, because we want to we want to
get you ready. We want to give you the tools
to uh to embark on this wonderful world called entrepreneurship. Dinnis,
before I get to the stock market, I I I'm
gonna I'm gonna put you on the spot real quickly. Boy. Well, no,
(13:49):
as I told you when you decided to come on
this show, I hold nothing back. I share my personal life,
my failures, my successes. I share. There's nothing that I
hold back from my audience, and I want the same you.
So you know, when Dennis joined us on the show,
I don't know how long it's been now, maybe a
month or two something like that, something like that. Dennis
was still working for another company in the AI space.
(14:10):
And I told him, now that he has his doctorate
and his thirty plus years in the technology space, I said,
you've got to you've got to become your own business, Dennis,
You've got to become your own business. And you know, again,
he and I, what's our age gap? Twelve? I'm sixty one,
you're seventy two, three seventy three, Yeah, so twelve years,
so we have a you know, an age gap. But
(14:31):
I said, look at it's never too late to go
into the world of entrepreneurship. And you've never been happy
working for someone. You and I were joking about that
this morning, and so luckily Dennis heated. Dennis heeded my
advice and as of about a month ago, he formed
his own business and he is now an independent contractor.
We have hired him in Sanchez got capital management for
(14:53):
our AI implementation because we don't have the time, but
more importantly, we don't have the knowledge that he has,
and he is already put together an incredible program that
our clients are going to benefit like you can't even
imagine going forward. But the reason I'm bringing this up
I I counseled Dennis because I've started so many businesses.
I counseled Dennis on how to do it from a
(15:14):
business perspective and tell the audience Denis, how wonderful it
was and how fast I mean literally, Okay, it took
you two hours to quote get into business. So I
was wrong. Okay, Extron, but explain why you what happened
with you? Real quick?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So in my situation, I've had I've had this desire
and passion for a long time, but in working for
an employer in the technology industry doing similar work than
as what I would be doing on my own, I
had to be really careful. You can't and you know,
the first step when you have an idea is read
(15:47):
your employee handbook. Make sure what you're doing isn't in conflict,
isn't a conflict of interest. Well, if I had tried
to do this on the on the side, like one
of the options have been conflict adventuret so it was
it was creating more anxiety with me really because I
wanted to do I really wanted to do it, and
(16:07):
and I just had I just got to the point
where I had to do it. And you you helped
with your your coaching to make me UH really make
me feel comfortable taking that step because I'd been thinking
about it for a long time. There's there's there's things
that I didn't have to think about and make part
of the planning. But as I got into it and
I saw the capabilities of UH and I used copilot
(16:31):
all the time, I found that I could go much
further than I even thought in the planning and really
laser focusing on the area that I wanted and getting
insights I'd never had imagined.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So use copilot every day with Corporate America.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah yeah, well, well that have not helped, but.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
That my point is there's things that you learned when
you went out on your own that you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh absolutely, And one of the things that you learned
probably when the biggest aha moments went with this kind
of technology. If you haven't already experienced it, you will
reach a point. It's when you start listening to what
co pilot is saying or chatchy BT is saying, because
there's a dialogue going on. I know initially we're talking
to it, but if you listen to what it's also
(17:18):
suggesting coaching, I think that might even be more valuable
because that's where you're going much deeper into the insights.
And frankly, there were times when I was just overwhelmed
by how many different choices and options I had just
with my idea ideas. So, yeah, what a great experience to.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The two hours situation. We decided the proper business structure
for you was an LLC. Yep, right, Yeah, your beautiful wife, Carrie,
she is your partner in this, but walk through and
this is no plug for ADP. We use ADP as
our paywell process or we've been extremely happy with it.
But just walk through that. In two hours, you were
set up as well.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's go back to the LLC. I actually put that
together while I was watching TV one night. It took
about an hour online to do that with legal Zoom.
I'm not we're not plugging anybody, but these are We
like to go with bigger names because we have a
track history, you know, working with them. And then you know,
for the first time in my life having payroll for
(18:22):
myself internally with the business, got on the phone with
a DP and within two hours, two hours, I was
completely set up with payroll, taxes, benefits, everything.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And so our lives are really benefitting by all these things,
especially in the business world. It's not just one solution.
It's really starting to be integrated with with all the
things and business.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That we use for absolutely and and you know LLC
is the corporate structure, right that's to protect the rest
of Dennis's assets from any potential liabilities, like we always
preach on this show. And then why why ADP if
it's just you and your wife? Very simple and we
don't have time to get into it. But for tax
planning reasons, retirement, et cetera, we said, we advised Dennis
(19:09):
to set up as as we are. We're employees of
our LLC. Right, we have different operating companies and things.
But Dennis's Dennis and his wife are employees of the
corporation perform AI. Your your employees of that LLC, and
therefore they draw W two salary and by doing so
they're with getting taxes with Hill so there's no big
(19:29):
tax price at the end of the year. But also
your wife is contributing to Social Security. You're contributing to
Social Security. There's all these benefits. And at the same time,
you get all the benefits of being an owner of
a business. Right, you've got rid opps that are going
to be a you and obviously massive amounts of contributions
available into a retirement account that you would not have
working for someone. The benefit is on and on and on,
and every Friday you to just draw a paycheck from
(19:51):
from ADP from your bank account, so you're turning around
paying yourself. But you did all that. You set everything
up in two hours. I mean, yeah, that three hours
when you add the LLC. But yeah, come on, yeah, okay,
big deal. Yeah, it's amazing. It never could have done
that in the past. You never could have done that.
All right, let me hit real quick. On the stock
market side, it wasn't a real exciting day to day.
(20:12):
We had some volatility on the Dow side. Finished with
a gain of sixty nine on the Dow just a
fraction of a percent. Our closes forty six three sixteen.
Nazek was better with a one ZHO seven game point
four to zero percent and the S and PP seventeen.
Just a couple of headlines, of course that we got
to be focusing on, folks, And this is number one
of course, the government shut down. They had a meeting
between the Trump administration i e. The Republicans versus the
(20:33):
Democrats later this afternoon, just a couple hours ago. It
did not go well. JD. Vans came out and said
we're headed to a government shutdown. Those were his direct quotes.
After the meeting ended without the leaders coming to an agreement.
Both sides are saying we're far apart. Now's this political rhetoric.
Only time will tell. But remember we've got a government
shut down. Looming at midnight tomorrow night. Okay, now I
(20:56):
went last week, go back and listen to our podcast. Statistically,
the market doesn't care unless it drags on. Actually, the
market tends to go up in a government shut down
in historical terms, So don't worry about that from your
investment perspective. But one thing that the President came out
and again don't know if this is a threat. We
know he's very famous for doing threats. He did come
out early this morning on True Social and he indicated
(21:18):
that if the Democrats don't come to an agreement and
the government shuts down, he is going to use this
opportunity for those of you that are federal workers to
not furlow you like what's happened in the past, but
to permanently do away with your jobs, eliminate it permanently.
He will use this as the excuse to permanently eliminate
hundreds of thousands of government jobs. So, again the Street
(21:39):
didn't pay much of attention to it. We don't know
if it's just the threat or is it reality only
time hotel so government shut down looming probably. You know.
The other big situation, as I'd mentioned earlier, the aideal
announced with open Ai and Etsy. I want to tell
you what that stocks doing in the after hours. Right now, Ets,
he is up fifteen point three eight percent nine dollars
(22:00):
eighty seven cent gain to seventy four h five again
as open ai is now going to make it really
quick for you to pop out of the shopping cart.
So other than that, like I said, not a crazy
day today. We'll of course give you much more detail
in the morning when I do my stock cup dates.
But when we come back, it's time for doctor Dennis
Sanchez how to become a solopreneur using AI. It's get
(22:21):
you in business, folks. Turned over to Jack's saban. He's
got news, he's got traffic, and he's got weather. Hey Jack,

is this is going to be the focus every Monday
when Dennis joins us. This is going to be the
folk focus of the show for the next few Mondays,
(23:03):
for the entire month of October, because there's so much
to this. But before we do that, you want to

give you this email a few times over, which is
Dennis's email, doctor Dennis Sanchez at perform dot ai, Doctor
(24:33):
Dennis Sanchez at Perform dot ai. Send that email in
and then at that point I think it's what Wednesday,
you're going to be releasing this out, Dennis correct, Yes, okay, perfect,
and you're going to get this chapter and then there'll
be some some further things down the road where you'll
have access to the entire ebook. But I just want
(24:54):
to tell you that right from the beginning, because this
is what you're going to get just a taste of
today compared to what the ebook is going and be
able to do for you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Can I make one little change. It's actually perform Ai
dot Ai.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I should have added that.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, okay, I left that one too many AI.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't want a lot of frustrated people.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, absolutely, right, absolutely one of the few people I know,
and you should have AI. So once again, doctor Dennis
Sanchez at Performai dot Ai, thank you very much sending
your request right now. It's a free chapter of his
great upcoming ebook, The Rise of the Solopreneur. Our topic
this afternoon. All right, bro, let's get to it. I
want to start with a couple couple very important data points.
(25:33):
There's an incredible article written not too long ago September
twenty second on CNBC dot com. And the title of
this article, uh, it's not just us talking as folks,
own your income. America's solopreneur business model is booming from
Florida to California. So here's some stats, folks, solopreneurs are
a major economic force. Twenty nine point eight million US
(25:54):
businesses with no paid employees contribute one point seven trillion
dollars to the economy, making up six point eight percent
of total economic activity. Rapid growth and solo business formation
entrepreneurs are filing over four hundred and forty thousand new
business applications monthly, a rate more than ninety percent higher
than the pre pandemic. Averages AI and technology low barriers.
(26:17):
AI and tools like chat GPT make it easier and
faster than ever to start the business, some experts saying
a side hustle can be launched in just ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Now I saw that.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah. Social media is like TikTok, enable millions of solo businesses,
especially among women under age thirty, to reach consumers instantly
and build authentic brands without expensive marketing and consumer personal
prefer personal brands. Right. They want to deal with you
and I. They don't want to deal with corporate America.
Those days are gone, folks. Now I'm sold. Let's get
into the action. How do we do this? Let's talk
(26:49):
about your step by step launch roadmap.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Okay, and a couple of things I'd like to say
before we began. It's important I think that everybody understand.
Number one, you do not need to be a technologist
as a technical expert to get it to really start
using AI. If you're not already start using it. If
you hadn't started, you it's it's something you can learn.
(27:12):
In fact, the more time you spend with it, the
closer you get to it, and the more you'll you'll
get out of the more it gets to know you too.
You and you also don't have to be a business expert.
There are a lot of people that are making that
transition that don't have that kind of experience. But it's
AI is filling that gap between what we need to
know and what we don't know very easily, and that's
(27:35):
why I think it's it's really facilitating this process. But
what's great is that if you have any kind of
business sense or experience at all, it will help. There's
some logical stuff. Just think about the normal things you
would do to start a business, the steps, the things
that you would consider. But but now add that you
(27:56):
have a partner. I look at Ai more as a partner,
and then I do a tool. Yeah, amigo, I saw
a response was harmono, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And then he calls me hermy, which.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's uh, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I spend some time with your immigal Yeah, I gotta
write this or do.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But it's so you're really going through this journey from
beginning to end with someone you know, a you know
that kind of help, uh, and collaboration advice, a very
very smart person's assistant. You know, I don't want to
use a human example. It's not replacing a human, but
(28:42):
it's that knowledge and understanding what you're trying.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
To do better. In my opinion. Serious, I've got a
lot more business plans than you. And I'll tell you
what I thought. I wrote a beautiful business plan. I've
always been more than not a ten thousand page business plan.
What I can write in ten that's in a business
plan with just chat GPT, your copilot. We're transitioning coilo.
It is a I told my wife yesterday, there's a
(29:06):
million times better than what I could ever write. That
would have taken me weeks to write. So it is
in me. In my opinion, it's better. I've seen a
lot of business plans. So yeah, so we we got
to get to the step by step Okay, all right,
so keep sorry, you've outlined seven steps. Okay, so we
got to start flowing through these.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
All right, you got it. Number one, let's go identify
the problem. You know, it's your business idea. It's really important. Uh,
it's not so much it's thinking, it's using your mind
in your heart to really figure out what that business
idea is. This is your chance in life, lifetime, but
don't overthink it. That's one of the the you're going
to the challenges you have getting all this great knowledge back.
Like I'm you know, just kidding overwhelmed. So identify problems,
(29:46):
solve and validate your business idea.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You ask co pilot, ask chat GP what do you
think of this idea? It's always going to be positive.
But if you come up with and this is a
really good best practice too, come up with a lot
of ideas and then work with the technology to say
what do you think would be the best one for this?
In my situation, let me tell you a little bit
moment myself blah blah blah, and you'll get some good advice. Uh,
(30:13):
it makes a lot of sense. Narrow that that that
idea down and identify it. You know, what what kind
of service is it? And what kind of model you're
going to use? Is it going to be an LLC?
Is it going to be you know, are you going
to be a solo? You know, you know working solo? Uh.
One of my what's the word I'm looking for when
you're so yeah, yeah, no, not that one. But it's okay.
(30:36):
So you've got your your idea, you've got your service
your product. Again, you're getting that feedback all the time.
Just on that second point of defining your service product.
I've used, for example, one of the copilot agents called
researcher and taking that idea and say, okay, now do
a whole market study on the the you know, the
(30:58):
viability of that in this market, in this segment, who
should I be targeting? All those kinds of details. In
about five minutes, I had a forty page analysis of
a market like that. So that's what you have at
your at your fingertip. But you still want to just
because you have all this information, you've got to make
(31:18):
it lean because you want to move fast. The benefit
of working this way with AI, and you'll see it.
The people that are doing they're adapting, they're changing, they're
they're they're chasing and closing opportunities quickly. I say, an
opportunity not just necessarily sales, but they're they're getting traction.
That's the whole idea of being lean and mean like
you are when you when you're a solo entrepreneur, you
(31:39):
can move fast and be you know, a lot of
larger organizations still punched.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
The Okay, so our first three out of the seven
we identify the problem to solve and validate the business
idea using again al AI. Number twoular to define our
service in our product and the business model. And number
three we create I love this the lean plan. Don't
overthink it, don't get analysis paralysis, It'll kill you. It's
like an investing all right, we'll hustle through points four
through seven when we come back with doctor Dennis Sanchez
(32:04):
how to become a solopreneur using AI. Let's wrap it

Good Monday Afterdodia. Welcome to the John Sanchez Show on
News Talk seven eighty koh. It's a pleasure to be
with you and a pleasure to be with one of
my two normal co hosts on Monday. Jason is busy
in an appointment, so we don't have him, this happen him.
But we have doctor Dennis Sanchez, the AI doctor. My brother.
How are you, my friend?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How you knowing, bro, fantastic man, fantastic. I always always
always look forward to having me on the program me too.
It is so good. How's life in the world of AI?
Just nothing going on? Right?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Just uh yeah, you mean like in the last five
minutes or right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's literally about it. I mean. Big news on Wall
Street today, Etsy is moving up dramatically as they announced
a open AI deal with them or open AI of course,
the parent of chat GPT is going to be handling
instant checkout for the shopping site. Another one that just
came out today, Walmart ceo AI is literally going to
change every job. How the best employees can still stand out,
(01:04):
you know, just little things like that, just just just
little things like that. You know, nothing going on in
the world of AI. Yeah, hold on one secon we
have little technical problem. One second. How about now there
we go. What I said was so brilliant too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't know if.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I can recall it.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I can be able to remember it, go ahead, but
it was really you. I think you're going to see
more of that. Organizations changing their jobs to adapt to
the AI. I mean, let's face it. If AI comes
in and you're really you know, not replacing some of
the redundant tasks, but you know they they end up
ending up with free time, then what do you do
(01:53):
with that extra time? And so you change the job.
Now they can do other things too.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yes, and that's the idea. That is absolutely the idea.
And that is why we have doctor Sanchez on the
show each and every Monday for our AI segment, because again,
AI is changing our world, both on the personal side
and on the business side. It's having an influence and
many times, in many cases to your portfolio. Right. We
talk about the the videos and the Microsofts and the
Googles almost every day on this program, and in some
(02:19):
form of fashion, it seems the subject of AI comes
up with those companies. And I mean again, it's absolutely fascinating,
but to me, it's beyond beyond exciting. Folks, You're going
to be introduced today after I get through my stock
market update, You're going to be introduced to a term
that I think you're going to be hearing a lot
(02:40):
about in the future. For those of you that may
be happy with your job, you're looking for a little
moonlighting on the side those of you that may lose
your job for whatever reason. I'm not going to blame AI,
but you're like, what am I going to do now?
And to those of you that are currently with a company,
and like the Walmart CEO just said, how are you
(03:01):
going to adapt to AI? Well, we're gonna bring it
down to your personal side, right and we've got some
stats for you that are gonna absolutely blow you away
as far as the number of people that have and
will as you heard us say many times on this program, mondays,
that have or will be losing their job due to AI. Again,
(03:22):
it's just it's this new technology that so many people
have a choice. That choice is do you either adapt
to it and use it as your benefit as we
have in our firm and myself personally, as I've shared
with you my personal stories with it or are you
going to fight it. You're going to lose and you
may find yourself out of a job. So those are
really your choices that it's coming down to. I hate
(03:42):
to be a real blowt with everybody, but that's that's
literally about where things are going to. So we are,
of course the optimistic ones. We're here to help you
adapt to AI. And what we're going to be focusing
on is this term called a solo preneur. Solo preneur,
billions of people are becoming solopreneurs. What is that? That's
(04:03):
a business owner with no payroll, no real overhead. They're
working out of their home or maybe in their van
on a beach somewhere, and all they need is a computer,
no big payrolls, no brick and mortar, no overhead expenses.
It's almost like they're working for pure profit. They're building
up their net worth, they're saving money for retirement, and
most importantly, they're happy right for once in their life
(04:26):
they have unlimited control of their finances of building their
net worth, building equity into a business. All of you know,
of course, I've started over twenty three businesses in my lifetime.
First when I started at nineteen years old, a little
guardian business that ballooned into a very very large landscaping business.
It can happen to anybody, right, I'm no smarter than
any of you. But thank God number one and number two,
(04:49):
thank the Good Lord for having an entrepreneurial DNA because
it's it's sometimes it can be a curse.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I didn't want to say anything.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, well, we don't hold anything back. Sometimes it can
be a curse, and sometimes, of course, it can be
one of the most magnificent things in the world. You see,
us sanchez Is are born with a DNA entrepreneur. It's Bailey,
my daughter who's the producer of our show and head
of marketing for Sanchez Goan Capital Management. She has it.
My daughter, my other daughter, Brooke, She's got it. Dennis
(05:25):
has it. I have it. It's in the Sanchez DNA
and we want to That's why we're so excited to
share with you each and every Monday, how AI is
folding into this whole topic and how this is going
to work because we want you to be a beneficiary
of it. And so today we've got a very special
show that Dennis is put together. So again, whether you
look at AI and you go the solar preneurship. You know,
(05:47):
is this going to be again, is going to be
a side hustle. Is it going to be a full
time business. That'll be up to you. But we're going
to give you the tools because we're going to be
focusing on the solar preneurship for the next month. Dennis
has made the commitment that the month of October, each
and every Monday when he joins us, it's going to
be related to solarpreneurship. And we've got a great start
to that this afternoon. Because again, as I've said many times,
(06:11):
I think I just said it last Thursday or Friday.
I mean this from the bottom of my heart. There
has never ever, ever in the history of man, been
a better time to start a business than right now.
And why is that? Because again of AI and what
it can do for you. Now did us again not
(06:31):
to get too far into the weeds, because I got
to get to the stock market side of things. But literally,
how long would it take you and I if we
sat down right now and someone said, okay, I want
the Sancho's Boys to create a business. I don't care
what it is. How long would it take for us
with AI to do that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know, people are doing it in a day. They're
absolutely spinny. Yeah that I'm just giving it, you know,
I know, okay, you take a break in there, no
spin it up in one day. And they're designing their
systems to be able to do that quickly, you know,
(07:09):
go out building markets. The tools, the processes and things
are in place to do that, and you can do
it all day and all night.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Well, I'm going to be a little bit more optimistic
than my brother. I'm going to say that time period
literally can be an under an hour. Yes, you heard
me correctly. I can start a business, and I'm talking
taking it from the idea to a swat analysis. That's
where you analyze. Those of you that have studied economics
and business, swat analysis is and analysis we do when
(07:39):
we started prior to starting a business, where we look
at our competitors and so on and so forth, to
the marketing plan, to a full financial forecast, to an
entire social media plan, and various marketing ideas. I can
do it all, and not just me. You folks can
do it, and you're going to be even more armed
(08:00):
do it after today's show and the preceding shows that
we're going to have over the next month, literally and
under an hour. No other time. I was joking and
pick into my personal life a little bit. We've got
a lot of great, great changes going on at the
brokerage firm right, just amazing things that we're implementing. AI
included and many other things. And I sat down yesterday
(08:24):
Saturday morning, got up at three o'clock and my wife
and I had a brainstorming session as we had our
morning coffee that's our quiet and our best time. We
had another business that's adjunct to the brokerage firm, designed
marketing plan, written financial projections, created, etc. It took us
two hours. One of those hours was creating the business
(08:45):
idea itself, and that's always the hardest part. But once
we had that idea and I dumped it into chat GPT,
within an hour, I had a logo and all of
the things I just mentioned, So I know what could
be done. I'm doing it myself. I'm no smarter than
any of you. You can do it yourself. You just
have to have a desire. But again, you've got to
learn how to use AI. You have to know what
(09:06):
to ask it and how to do this. But all
I can tell you, folks is please just again, if
you're looking for a moonlight situation, or you're just tired
of corporate America, there is no better time than right
now to consider solopreneurship once again, first time in history.
You don't have to go out and have payrolls. And
like I said, brick and mortar, you can sit at
the comfort of wherever that may be in your life
(09:28):
and create a business that, if you work it hard
and you continue to change it and you do the
right things, you have unlimited income potential. You really do.
That was a lot more compelling than your story.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
You know, I've over the years, I've found myself balancing
some of your enthusiasm. You're getting wiser, I say, because.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You're older, all right, I need some help here. Bring
my daughter on dot gone. Yeah, Bailey, Marie, get join in,
join in, help me out here. Who's right, your uncle
or your dad?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, don't put me in that position.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
First, you're you're there.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
But you know how I feel about AI and how
efficient it has made my life personally and as a
business owner, and it has streamlined my processes a thousand
times over.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yes, Yes, real quickly, Bailey Wire on this subject, and
I want to talk to the marketing side just for
a second. And again this was a plan. This is
all off the cuff. Here, tell the folks what you
do with this show, what you're doing right now, and
what you do the minute the show concludes at about
three fifty six in the afternoon because of AI, just folks,
just a little glimpse into our life of how we
(10:39):
were using AI.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yes, so the platform that we are recording on right now.
As soon as our episode finishes, I press one button
and it compiles it into a fully edited episode for YouTube.
I export that within about five minutes after concluding the show.
Then I can post that, and then I press one
more button and it it's about six social media reels
(11:01):
with the most compelling portions of our episode, and I
can get those out. So within about fifteen minutes, I
have a fully edited YouTube episode and social media content
from our recording. And then I'm actually, as you guys
are talking, updating one hundred episodes that we've already recorded
with fresh descriptions, keywords to up our seo. Everything that
(11:25):
would take me a whole day, I've done in about
twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I was going to say, if you didn't have AI
and AI software, how long would it take for you
to do what you just said?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That would probably take me about two hours at least,
and that's me being proficient at video editing, But it
would be very, very long. It is expedited my workflow
process every day by a mile.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yes, And how many people are on your staff?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It is just me, just me doing the marketing. Yeah,
but I probably am doing the job of about three
people right now now that I have AI.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yes, yes, exactly. And that's the point to bring across
to all of you, back to the solopreneurship that Dennis
is going to be teaching us about. You can do
this right, you can do this with the with the
right software, etc. No matter what your business is, unless
you're physically having to go out and do something like
let's say you're a mechanic or something, obviously AI is
not going to help you.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's not true. Well the marketing the market yeah, marketing side, absolutely,
and business planning and so on and so forth. But
there are some professions where you physically have to do it.
But when you're like yest of us or you're sitting
behind a computer for fourteen hours a day. That's really
the target market right for solopreneurship. It's it's absolutely incredible.
(12:43):
So what we're going to be talking about with doctor
Sanchez when we get back from this break, I keep
my stock market update going. I promise I'm gonna do
it live. I'm not going to be a you know,
an AI person doing it. And then we're going to
get into our topic, how to become a solopreneur using AI.
How to become a solopreneur using AI with doctor Dennis Sanchez,
our very special guests, Let's turn it over to speaking
(13:03):
of another very special person in my life, Kristin Snow
in the right now Traffic Center. Hello, Kristen, Welcome back
to the John Sanchez Show on Newstalk seven to eighty KO,
which with my brother, doctor Dennis Sanchez, the AI Doctor.
Once again, we'll beginning into our topic, how to become
a solopreneur using AI. We're gonna help you get in
business right and this is just the beginning of many
(13:25):
mini series we're going to be doing over the next
few mondays with Dennis. The whole month of October is
going to be solopreneur month in the in the Sanchez household,
we'll call it, because we want to we want to
get you ready. We want to give you the tools
to uh to embark on this wonderful world called entrepreneurship. Dinnis,
before I get to the stock market, I I I'm
gonna I'm gonna put you on the spot real quickly. Boy. Well, no,
(13:49):
as I told you when you decided to come on
this show, I hold nothing back. I share my personal life,
my failures, my successes. I share. There's nothing that I
hold back from my audience, and I want the same you.
So you know, when Dennis joined us on the show,
I don't know how long it's been now, maybe a
month or two something like that, something like that. Dennis
was still working for another company in the AI space.
(14:10):
And I told him, now that he has his doctorate
and his thirty plus years in the technology space, I said,
you've got to you've got to become your own business, Dennis,
You've got to become your own business. And you know, again,
he and I, what's our age gap? Twelve? I'm sixty one,
you're seventy two, three seventy three, Yeah, so twelve years,
so we have a you know, an age gap. But
(14:31):
I said, look at it's never too late to go
into the world of entrepreneurship. And you've never been happy
working for someone. You and I were joking about that
this morning, and so luckily Dennis heated. Dennis heeded my
advice and as of about a month ago, he formed
his own business and he is now an independent contractor.
We have hired him in Sanchez got capital management for
(14:53):
our AI implementation because we don't have the time, but
more importantly, we don't have the knowledge that he has,
and he is already put together an incredible program that
our clients are going to benefit like you can't even
imagine going forward. But the reason I'm bringing this up
I I counseled Dennis because I've started so many businesses.
I counseled Dennis on how to do it from a
(15:14):
business perspective and tell the audience Denis, how wonderful it
was and how fast I mean literally, Okay, it took
you two hours to quote get into business. So I
was wrong. Okay, Extron, but explain why you what happened
with you? Real quick?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
So in my situation, I've had I've had this desire
and passion for a long time, but in working for
an employer in the technology industry doing similar work than
as what I would be doing on my own, I
had to be really careful. You can't and you know,
the first step when you have an idea is read
(15:47):
your employee handbook. Make sure what you're doing isn't in conflict,
isn't a conflict of interest. Well, if I had tried
to do this on the on the side, like one
of the options have been conflict adventuret so it was
it was creating more anxiety with me really because I
wanted to do I really wanted to do it, and
(16:07):
and I just had I just got to the point
where I had to do it. And you you helped
with your your coaching to make me UH really make
me feel comfortable taking that step because I'd been thinking
about it for a long time. There's there's there's things
that I didn't have to think about and make part
of the planning. But as I got into it and
I saw the capabilities of UH and I used copilot
(16:31):
all the time, I found that I could go much
further than I even thought in the planning and really
laser focusing on the area that I wanted and getting
insights I'd never had imagined.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So use copilot every day with Corporate America.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah yeah, well, well that have not helped, but.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
That my point is there's things that you learned when
you went out on your own that you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh absolutely, And one of the things that you learned
probably when the biggest aha moments went with this kind
of technology. If you haven't already experienced it, you will
reach a point. It's when you start listening to what
co pilot is saying or chatchy BT is saying, because
there's a dialogue going on. I know initially we're talking
to it, but if you listen to what it's also
(17:18):
suggesting coaching, I think that might even be more valuable
because that's where you're going much deeper into the insights.
And frankly, there were times when I was just overwhelmed
by how many different choices and options I had just
with my idea ideas. So, yeah, what a great experience to.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The two hours situation. We decided the proper business structure
for you was an LLC. Yep, right, Yeah, your beautiful wife, Carrie,
she is your partner in this, but walk through and
this is no plug for ADP. We use ADP as
our paywell process or we've been extremely happy with it.
But just walk through that. In two hours, you were
set up as well.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's go back to the LLC. I actually put that
together while I was watching TV one night. It took
about an hour online to do that with legal Zoom.
I'm not we're not plugging anybody, but these are We
like to go with bigger names because we have a
track history, you know, working with them. And then you know,
for the first time in my life having payroll for
(18:22):
myself internally with the business, got on the phone with
a DP and within two hours, two hours, I was
completely set up with payroll, taxes, benefits, everything.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And so our lives are really benefitting by all these things,
especially in the business world. It's not just one solution.
It's really starting to be integrated with with all the
things and business.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That we use for absolutely and and you know LLC
is the corporate structure, right that's to protect the rest
of Dennis's assets from any potential liabilities, like we always
preach on this show. And then why why ADP if
it's just you and your wife? Very simple and we
don't have time to get into it. But for tax
planning reasons, retirement, et cetera, we said, we advised Dennis
(19:09):
to set up as as we are. We're employees of
our LLC. Right, we have different operating companies and things.
But Dennis's Dennis and his wife are employees of the
corporation perform AI. Your your employees of that LLC, and
therefore they draw W two salary and by doing so
they're with getting taxes with Hill so there's no big
(19:29):
tax price at the end of the year. But also
your wife is contributing to Social Security. You're contributing to
Social Security. There's all these benefits. And at the same time,
you get all the benefits of being an owner of
a business. Right, you've got rid opps that are going
to be a you and obviously massive amounts of contributions
available into a retirement account that you would not have
working for someone. The benefit is on and on and on,
and every Friday you to just draw a paycheck from
(19:51):
from ADP from your bank account, so you're turning around
paying yourself. But you did all that. You set everything
up in two hours. I mean, yeah, that three hours
when you add the LLC. But yeah, come on, yeah, okay,
big deal. Yeah, it's amazing. It never could have done
that in the past. You never could have done that.
All right, let me hit real quick. On the stock
market side, it wasn't a real exciting day to day.
(20:12):
We had some volatility on the Dow side. Finished with
a gain of sixty nine on the Dow just a
fraction of a percent. Our closes forty six three sixteen.
Nazek was better with a one ZHO seven game point
four to zero percent and the S and PP seventeen.
Just a couple of headlines, of course that we got
to be focusing on, folks, And this is number one
of course, the government shut down. They had a meeting
between the Trump administration i e. The Republicans versus the
(20:33):
Democrats later this afternoon, just a couple hours ago. It
did not go well. JD. Vans came out and said
we're headed to a government shutdown. Those were his direct quotes.
After the meeting ended without the leaders coming to an agreement.
Both sides are saying we're far apart. Now's this political rhetoric.
Only time will tell. But remember we've got a government
shut down. Looming at midnight tomorrow night. Okay, now I
(20:56):
went last week, go back and listen to our podcast. Statistically,
the market doesn't care unless it drags on. Actually, the
market tends to go up in a government shut down
in historical terms, So don't worry about that from your
investment perspective. But one thing that the President came out
and again don't know if this is a threat. We
know he's very famous for doing threats. He did come
out early this morning on True Social and he indicated
(21:18):
that if the Democrats don't come to an agreement and
the government shuts down, he is going to use this
opportunity for those of you that are federal workers to
not furlow you like what's happened in the past, but
to permanently do away with your jobs, eliminate it permanently.
He will use this as the excuse to permanently eliminate
hundreds of thousands of government jobs. So, again the Street
(21:39):
didn't pay much of attention to it. We don't know
if it's just the threat or is it reality only
time hotel so government shut down looming probably. You know.
The other big situation, as I'd mentioned earlier, the aideal
announced with open Ai and Etsy. I want to tell
you what that stocks doing in the after hours. Right now, Ets,
he is up fifteen point three eight percent nine dollars
(22:00):
eighty seven cent gain to seventy four h five again
as open ai is now going to make it really
quick for you to pop out of the shopping cart.
So other than that, like I said, not a crazy
day today. We'll of course give you much more detail
in the morning when I do my stock cup dates.
But when we come back, it's time for doctor Dennis
Sanchez how to become a solopreneur using AI. It's get
(22:21):
you in business, folks. Turned over to Jack's saban. He's
got news, he's got traffic, and he's got weather. Hey Jack,
welcome back to the John Sanchez Show on Newstock seven
eighty koh. Jason is hardly a He would like that term.
Heavily is what I was looking. Heavily involved in some
office work right now and to make the show. Joined
by my brother, doctor Dennis Sanchez, the AI Doctor, We're
(22:43):
gonna get to our topic once again, and that is
how to become a solopreneur using AI. So we've got
some great, great steps for those of you now, I
need to set the table one more time, and that
is this is going to be the focus every Monday
when Dennis joins us. This is going to be the
folk focus of the show for the next few Mondays,
(23:03):
for the entire month of October, because there's so much
to this. But before we do that, you want to
you want to you want me to jump into the
giveaway at this point, or you want to save it
to the end. Yeah, I want to jump into this
right now. Dennis has written an incredible e book, an
incredible e book on this topic. The title of the
(23:26):
book is The Rise of the Solo Preneur. It is incredible,
one hundred plus pages of actionable steps, step by step

(23:48):
to make that jump into the solo preneur. But that's
just going to be the beginning. Down the road, there
will be webinars and different things that Dennis and all
of this will be participating in to help even further.
But Dennis has been kind enough for those of you
that want to get involved in this topic. We're talking
to you right You're you're thinking about leaving your company, Moonlight,
leaving completely, whatever it is. This is the starting point.
(24:11):

able to do for you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Can I make one little change. It's actually perform Ai
dot Ai.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I should have added that.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, okay, I left that one too many AI.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't want a lot of frustrated people.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, absolutely, right, absolutely one of the few people I know,
and you should have AI. So once again, doctor Dennis
Sanchez at Performai dot Ai, thank you very much sending
your request right now. It's a free chapter of his
great upcoming ebook, The Rise of the Solopreneur. Our topic
this afternoon. All right, bro, let's get to it. I
want to start with a couple couple very important data points.
(25:33):
There's an incredible article written not too long ago September
twenty second on CNBC dot com. And the title of
this article, uh, it's not just us talking as folks,
own your income. America's solopreneur business model is booming from
Florida to California. So here's some stats, folks, solopreneurs are
a major economic force. Twenty nine point eight million US
(25:54):
businesses with no paid employees contribute one point seven trillion
dollars to the economy, making up six point eight percent
of total economic activity. Rapid growth and solo business formation
entrepreneurs are filing over four hundred and forty thousand new
business applications monthly, a rate more than ninety percent higher
than the pre pandemic. Averages AI and technology low barriers.
(26:17):
AI and tools like chat GPT make it easier and
faster than ever to start the business, some experts saying
a side hustle can be launched in just ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Now I saw that.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah. Social media is like TikTok, enable millions of solo businesses,
especially among women under age thirty, to reach consumers instantly
and build authentic brands without expensive marketing and consumer personal
prefer personal brands. Right. They want to deal with you
and I. They don't want to deal with corporate America.
Those days are gone, folks. Now I'm sold. Let's get
into the action. How do we do this? Let's talk
(26:49):
about your step by step launch roadmap.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Okay, and a couple of things I'd like to say
before we began. It's important I think that everybody understand.
Number one, you do not need to be a technologist
as a technical expert to get it to really start
using AI. If you're not already start using it. If
you hadn't started, you it's it's something you can learn.
(27:12):
In fact, the more time you spend with it, the
closer you get to it, and the more you'll you'll
get out of the more it gets to know you too.
You and you also don't have to be a business expert.
There are a lot of people that are making that
transition that don't have that kind of experience. But it's
AI is filling that gap between what we need to
know and what we don't know very easily, and that's
(27:35):
why I think it's it's really facilitating this process. But
what's great is that if you have any kind of
business sense or experience at all, it will help. There's
some logical stuff. Just think about the normal things you
would do to start a business, the steps, the things
that you would consider. But but now add that you
(27:56):
have a partner. I look at Ai more as a partner,
and then I do a tool. Yeah, amigo, I saw
a response was harmono, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And then he calls me hermy, which.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's uh, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I spend some time with your immigal Yeah, I gotta
write this or do.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
But it's so you're really going through this journey from
beginning to end with someone you know, a you know
that kind of help, uh, and collaboration advice, a very
very smart person's assistant. You know, I don't want to
use a human example. It's not replacing a human, but
(28:42):
it's that knowledge and understanding what you're trying.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
To do better. In my opinion. Serious, I've got a
lot more business plans than you. And I'll tell you
what I thought. I wrote a beautiful business plan. I've
always been more than not a ten thousand page business plan.
What I can write in ten that's in a business
plan with just chat GPT, your copilot. We're transitioning coilo.
It is a I told my wife yesterday, there's a
(29:06):
million times better than what I could ever write. That
would have taken me weeks to write. So it is
in me. In my opinion, it's better. I've seen a
lot of business plans. So yeah, so we we got
to get to the step by step Okay, all right,
so keep sorry, you've outlined seven steps. Okay, so we
got to start flowing through these.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
All right, you got it. Number one, let's go identify
the problem. You know, it's your business idea. It's really important. Uh,
it's not so much it's thinking, it's using your mind
in your heart to really figure out what that business
idea is. This is your chance in life, lifetime, but
don't overthink it. That's one of the the you're going
to the challenges you have getting all this great knowledge back.
Like I'm you know, just kidding overwhelmed. So identify problems,
(29:46):
solve and validate your business idea.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You ask co pilot, ask chat GP what do you
think of this idea? It's always going to be positive.
But if you come up with and this is a
really good best practice too, come up with a lot
of ideas and then work with the technology to say
what do you think would be the best one for this?
In my situation, let me tell you a little bit
moment myself blah blah blah, and you'll get some good advice. Uh,
(30:13):
it makes a lot of sense. Narrow that that that
idea down and identify it. You know, what what kind
of service is it? And what kind of model you're
going to use? Is it going to be an LLC?
Is it going to be you know, are you going
to be a solo? You know, you know working solo? Uh.
One of my what's the word I'm looking for when
you're so yeah, yeah, no, not that one. But it's okay.
(30:36):
So you've got your your idea, you've got your service
your product. Again, you're getting that feedback all the time.
Just on that second point of defining your service product.
I've used, for example, one of the copilot agents called
researcher and taking that idea and say, okay, now do
a whole market study on the the you know, the
(30:58):
viability of that in this market, in this segment, who
should I be targeting? All those kinds of details. In
about five minutes, I had a forty page analysis of
a market like that. So that's what you have at
your at your fingertip. But you still want to just
because you have all this information, you've got to make
(31:18):
it lean because you want to move fast. The benefit
of working this way with AI, and you'll see it.
The people that are doing they're adapting, they're changing, they're
they're they're chasing and closing opportunities quickly. I say, an
opportunity not just necessarily sales, but they're they're getting traction.
That's the whole idea of being lean and mean like
you are when you when you're a solo entrepreneur, you
(31:39):
can move fast and be you know, a lot of
larger organizations still punched.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
The Okay, so our first three out of the seven
we identify the problem to solve and validate the business
idea using again al AI. Number twoular to define our
service in our product and the business model. And number
three we create I love this the lean plan. Don't
overthink it, don't get analysis paralysis, It'll kill you. It's
like an investing all right, we'll hustle through points four
through seven when we come back with doctor Dennis Sanchez
(32:04):
how to become a solopreneur using AI. Let's wrap it
