The speaker, an experienced entrepreneur, argues that AI has made intelligence cheap and accessible, enabling individuals to achieve financial freedom without large teams or significant capital. ### Key Points - **AI as a Historic Opportunity** [00:01] — The speaker claims AI presents a bigger wealth opportunity than the internet or industrial revolution, though he is uncertain about electricity. He notes the job market has changed radically, especially for aspiring entrepreneurs. - **Personal Entrepreneurial Journey** [00:43] — The speaker shares his 15-year entrepreneurial experience, starting with websites and an online magazine, which failed to generate income. He found success with e-commerce, then consulting, and now helps others build AI-powered businesses. - **Wealth is Generated in Windows of Opportunity** [02:05] — He emphasizes that wealth is created during temporary windows of opportunity, which are often recognized only in hindsight. He urges viewers to act now rather than regret later, citing examples like Apple stock and Bitcoin. - **Cheap Access to High Intelligence** [03:23] — AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini provide high-level intelligence at a low cost, replacing the need for expensive education and years of experience. He claims AI can answer better than 90% of experts with 10-20 years of experience. - **Only a Few Are Applying AI** [04:48] — While many talk about AI, few actually apply it. He distinguishes between those who watch and those who act, encouraging viewers to be among the latter. - **New Definition of Intelligence** [06:12] — He shares his favorite definition: an intelligent person achieves everything they want in life. He emphasizes the importance of defining what you truly want, often boiling down to freedom and independence. - **Freedom Without Large Companies** [07:55] — AI enables creating a company of one or two people that can generate income equivalent to what a 15-50 person company did two years ago. He cites his own consulting firm with 100 employees as an example of the old model. - **Overcoming the Fear of Starting** [09:19] — Many people are held back by the belief that starting a business requires a team and significant investment. He argues that AI eliminates this barrier, allowing businesses to be built from scratch with minimal resources. - **The New Business Model** [10:12] — He contrasts the traditional business plan with funding and hiring with the modern approach: using AI to handle most tasks, working part-time, and generating recurring income within 30 days, compared to 6-18 months previously. - **Call to Action** [12:43] — He invites viewers to contact him via WhatsApp (business phone) with the word 'Sunday' for personalized tips and resources to build an AI-powered business. ### Conclusion The speaker concludes that AI presents a unique window of opportunity for individuals to build profitable businesses with minimal resources, and encourages immediate action to stay ahead of the curve. ## Transcript artificial intelligence in 2026 and take advantage of what many say will be the biggest window of opportunity for wealth in history, bigger than the arrival of the internet, bigger than the industrial revolution, some even electricity. I don't know if it will be bigger than the electricity crisis, but what is clear is that the job market has changed radically, especially for people who want to start their own businesses, who don't want bosses, and who want to take advantage of this moment, as others have done in the past with other have done in the past with other opportunities to generate prosperity, to loved ones. I have been an entrepreneur on the internet for 15 years . I've done absolutely everything. I started making everything. I started making websites when I was 18. I made an online magazine. None of that worked in the sense that I did n't make any money. The first thing I made money with was e-commerce, then I evolved into a consulting firm, and now I'm helping others create businesses with artificial intelligence. I've never seen anything like that before , have I? And in this video I want to tell you about the three fundamental principles that I am applying today in my companies, that I am also applying with my clients, and that I am seeing as being the most effective in order to take advantage of this temporary moment and have a better opportunity than the rest to prosper and be able to start a business online. Today I am at my parents' house. It's my mother's birthday. It's my youngest son's birthday too. We're going to meet up with our cousins ​​and uncles here in a little while. Well, I uncles here in a little while. Well, I actually have about 25 minutes until I go to mass and I wanted to record this video which comes from a conversation I had comes from a conversation I had with my father the other day. So, essential to take advantage of this great window of opportunity, because point one, and it is in windows of opportunity that wealth is generated. Those windows are closing, okay? And we usually identify them when we look back, right? We always look back and say, "Wow, I wish I had invested in Apple stock, I wish I had bought Bitcoin when it I wish I had bought Bitcoin when it was $100, I wish I had started an or become an influencer, right? Because all of that is much harder today, and we realize that if we had done it earlier, we'd be doing much better. It's not normal to identify an opportunity like this in the present , right? And that's what we 're experiencing today. That's kind of is unique, isn't it? This is a window of opportunity that those who take full advantage of will be able to generate a lot of money, a lot of prosperity for themselves, for their families. And those who don't, well, later on it will probably be something nice to have, but it will be a shame when we look back and did listen and took the plunge at this point. So, three super important things. The first is that today access to intelligence is very cheap, right? Because through simple tools like chat, GPT, Cloud, and Gemini, you can access very high intelligence at a very, very low price, right? Before, you had to add very high skills yourself, which usually took a lot of time. You had to learn at university, you had to get a master's degree, you had to have years of experience to have a minimum of knowledge that you could apply and that knowledge would give you the income you were looking for, right? Today it's not like that, because with artificial intelligence it can practically do everything for you. I mean, there's no question that it won't answer better than 90% of the people who have 10, 15, or 20 years of experience in the field you ask them, right? How to start a business? What product should I How should I do the marketing? kind of ads should I create? How should I treat my customer so they can ask artificial intelligence all those questions right now, and It will give you answers, and maybe it won't give you the best one, right? But it will give you a pretty accurate answer, more or less universal, and if you apply it correctly, you can make much more progress in an afternoon than you used to make with a team of 5 or 10 people over months. It's that literal, isn't it? So this is wonderful, isn't it? That thanks to this we can advance much faster, right? People are starting to realize this, aren't they? I hear it in my circle and see it on the news; it's rare to see an episode of the news that doesn't talk about artificial intelligence in one way or another, right? They say it's going to take all the jobs, and well, a lot of starting to realize this, aren't they? But only a few are actually applying it. And as with everything, there are going to be two types of people. People who watch it happen and people who, when they see something happening, run and jump on the bandwagon as soon as possible, right? If you're one of the Second, send me a message. I always carry two phones. This one you see here is my personal phone, and then I have this one, which is my business phone. I'll leave my WhatsApp in the description so you can send me a message. Sometimes my team checks it, but most of the time I do. I spend 30 to 40 minutes personally send messages and voice notes, and send me the word "Sunday" so I know you're coming from this video. Tell me what your plan is. Do you want to start a business? Do you already have one and want to scale it? I'll give you tips that have helped me can also give you resources that will help you move faster and create and scale an AI-powered business that generates recurring revenue, so you can be one of the first to benefit. Okay, the also related to intelligence, and it's about my favorite definition of and it's about my favorite definition of intelligence, which is that an intelligent person is someone who achieves everything they want. What you want in life. And I don't know where I read it or who told me this definition. I definitely didn't make it up , but it seemed really good to me, right? I mean, wow, that's true. One thing is the intellectual capacity you have, right? To solve complex problems. Uh, but of course, now if I give that to someone, they'll give it to me correctly, right? Uh, but the new definition of intelligence is that, isn't it? Of a person who achieves everything they want in life. And that's ask ourselves, right? What is it that we want, right? Because a lot of people say, "No, I want to Because a lot of people say, "No, I want to earn more money, right?" Yes, but what exactly for, right? It usually boils down to wanting to improve my life, taking care different definition for this. There are people who want to improve their lifestyle, have a better house, buy cars, and travel. There are others who want to take their children to a better school. There are others who want to donate it; there are people who want to stop working for a boss and be their own boss. Everyone end it boils down to that, and if we take it a little more specifically, to gaining freedom and independence, right? And this was always usually associated with being an entrepreneur , wasn't it? Well, because you're your own boss, and if you manage things well, you can make a lot of money, right? But of course, until relatively recently that was also associated with having giant companies, wasn't it? also associated with having giant companies, wasn't it? That freedom, right? Today, the way we achieve it has changed. There's no need to attack me today. Today you don't need a giant company to have that freedom because artificial intelligence allows you to create a company of one person, two people, and if you do it with another partner, it can generate income that a company of 15, 20, 30, or 50 people generated two years ago. I, for example, have built a consulting firm in the last 10 years; a hand to people to create and scale their online businesses. Wow, 100 employees is a lot of challenges, isn't it? Or even more if we count all the external departments we have, right? Uh, even with my clients, right? Many of the those who bill more than a million a month, which is another level, the strategies were about how to hire more managers, how to hire many more people, how to have to leverage something to do things. Today things are different. Today, the freedom that we all seek in one way or another, can be built without large corporations. This is wonderful, okay? Especially again for the person who wants to start from scratch, who wants to create a business from the ground up, right? That's the second point that's extremely important for me to understand, because many times what holds us back from starting a business is the thought, "Oh, I have to hire a team and there are many costs that maybe I don't have the investment for right now ," right? I certainly didn't have it businesses; I built them practically from scratch, right? By putting in my time, uh, failing a lot, learning, and with the little I earned reinvesting, right?, in knowledge above all, and in a small team, and in technology, etc. , I wouldn't set it up that way, would I ? Ah, so this is wonderful, and it's believe we wouldn't start a business because of this, but now I must start a business precisely because that doesn't exist, right? And if you do it in the next few months before the end of the year, you'll be way ahead of everyone else. That's the second point. And the third one, which is also related, is, "Okay, if I want to start, how do I put all this together?" No, I have to set everything up with artificial intelligence. I mean, yes, I mean, the way right? As they tell you in business schools and all that, it's, okay, you have to make a business plan, right? And you have to raise funding because the company needs money and has to be financed somehow, right? Well, if you don't have the money, then do a round of funding from friends and family, and then do a round with a private investor, and with that money, hire people, set up offices, and spend on marketing, and you still haven't generated a single euro, no. Ah, that has already changed with the arrival of the internet, especially businesses that work remotely, allow you to work from home, have a little more freedom, that has already changed. But she's made another, much bigger change, hasn't she? Well, the change we had, the one that went from that first phase with a lot of complexity to what we had a few months ago or even we had a few months ago or even a year ago, has been that with the internet, since you have knowledge, if you have a little time and you applied a little, well, you didn't need investment and the business could grow. The thing is, it was taking a long time, okay? In other words, I didn't need that much money, I didn't need a lot of people, but I did need a lot of your time. So, honestly, until 2 years ago my clients took 6, 12, 18 months to have a solid business that could generate €3,000, €4,000, €5,000 per month recurring, right? And they had to case. Since the last two years, especially this year 2026, they can work part-time, they can not have employees, they can set it up much faster; the vast majority set it up in 30 days, and all of this allows them to because, wow, before it was working employees, going slower, and now it's working 20 hours, not having employees, having the vast majority of things done by artificial intelligence, not to say almost everything, and having recurring income. So, this is wonderful, isn't it? Because you can build it much faster, you can quickly, and in the end the first steps are the most complicated because many people the most complicated because many people think it's much harder to go from €5,000 a month to €50,000 a month, it's much easier. The hardest part is generating those first few thousand euros a month on a recurring basis, right? And that's where artificial intelligence can lend a hand today . Those are the three points that integrated for this new phase, this new stage of life, literally this new stage of life, literally for everyone. And I think it's going to be take advantage of it. Oh, and if you're the one who wants to take advantage of it, remember that I'll leave my WhatsApp number in the description of this business phone, not my personal one which is the one I'm recording with. Send me a message with the word Sunday. Tell me a little bit going to answer, and I don't think it rings directly because it's just a business WhatsApp number. I usually answer that myself, but if not, my team will tell you, " Hey, I'm a member of Jesus' team, and I can direct you to look into for whatever it is you want to achieve." Glad to lend a hand. I would have liked to have someone to guide me a little more at the beginning so I wouldn't make so many mistakes and could go faster. Oh, and I would have opportunity like the one you have in front of you with artificial intelligence when I was starting out. So, nothing more and nothing less. Go for it, bro. Yeah.
