"How a CEO Who Laughed at AI Used It to 10x Output and Build a Profitable Business"
"How a CEO Who Laughed at AI Used It to 10x Output and Build a Profitable Business"
12 Months Ago, CEO Blake Harrington’s Construction Company Was On The Verge Of Collapse…
But twelve months ago, everything started to unravel.
At first, it was small.
Clients going cold without warning.
Quotes getting undercut by smaller, faster firms.
Seniors asking for tools he didn’t understand.
His calendar?
Wall-to-wall with admin, proposal reviews, HR issues, project delays.
And then, the bleed began.
Margins shrank. Staff churned. Projects stalled.
And for the first time in years, Blake felt something he couldn’t shake:
Like he wasn’t running his business anymore – it was running him.
He tried fixing it.
New software. New hires.
Productivity consultants. Sales trainers.
Even brought in a digital transformation agency that charged $60,000 for a slide deck.
Nothing worked.
The business that used to hum with momentum in its glory days now moved like molasses.
Everyone had more meetings, more dashboards, more tools – but fewer results.
A $4.2M bid – one they should’ve nailed – lost to a competitor with half the headcount, no brand, and eerily effective technology that pushed the limit of what’s possible.
That was the breaking point.
Blake sat alone in his office that night, lights off, screen glowing, staring at a spreadsheet that didn’t make sense.
And that’s when she appeared. Selene.
Selene wasn’t a coder.
She wasn’t pitching software or selling some startup’s “AI-in-a-box” subscription.
She asked one question:
He’d mocked AI before. He thought it was Silicon Valley hype for tech bros and LinkedIn influencers.
But she didn’t ask him to believe it.
She didn’t talk about AI.
She asked him questions.
- “What if you never had to read another 40-page tender again?”
- “What if client objections answered themselves - before they were even asked?”
- “What if your Monday operations meeting ran - without you in it?”
- “What if you could see profit leaks before they even hit your books?”
Emails written. Proposals priced. Forecasts corrected.
Not by people. Not by plugins.
But by something else entirely – something no consultant had ever shown him.
Within weeks, the chaos began to disappear.
What used to take five staff, fourteen steps, and two late nights…
Was now done in under three clicks.
And the systems behind it?
Let’s just say – that’s inside the book.
What Happened Next(In Less Than 90 Days) Was Unthinkable…
It’s not just Blake’s.
It can be yours, too.
Because The CEO Who Mocked AI isn’t just a fable.
It’s the exact blueprint Blake used to rebuild from the ground up.
The frameworks. The systems. The prompts. The playbook.
All wrapped in a story so real, so practical, and so simple – you’ll forget you’re learning while you effortlessly automate your daily workflow, operations or even your entire business/
It’s the exact transformation – from chaos to clarity, burnout to breakthrough – that this book delivers.
Not in theory.
Not in fluff.
But step-by-step – through a story that enthrals you like your favourite Netflix series, and teaches like an MBA – without the stuffy lectures and hefty price tag!
The CEO Who Mocked AI is your blueprint.
If you’re ready to reclaim control, cut the noise, and lead your business with precision – it’s time.
Why 97% Of Business Leaders & Founders Are Feeling Trapped, Stressed Out, And Lagging Behind…
You’ve tried to get ahead.
You’ve sat through workshops. Downloaded dashboards. Hired consultants.Tried “digital transformation” with CRMs, ERMs, and every other 3 letter acronym.
Maybe, you’ve even “dabbled” in using ChatGPT or Grok or whatever everyone’s raving about.
But if you’re honest – things still feel… messy.
Your team’s capacity is still stretched thin, your days are still jam packed with admin, and you’ve got a graveyard of half-used tech subscriptions – and zero clarity on what’s actually helping you.
Meanwhile, your competitors?
Somehow, they’re everywhere.
They’re talking to more prospects, winning new clients (you should’ve won), delivering higher quality work faster and they seem to have endless buckets of money to scale lean and fast – with teams half your size.
So what gives?
The answer isn’t more tools…
It’s not more dashboards…
…And it’s definitely not another $40K consultant with a three-phase roadmap.
It’s this:
You’re still making decisions like it’s 2015.
That’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
You feel like you’re always behind.
Solve one bottleneck, and three more pop up.
You’re hiring more. Spending more. Working more…
But getting less out of it.
There’s always another platform to master.
Another “game-changing” tool.
Another meeting that drags the day – but moves nothing forward.
And maybe you’ve even told yourself:
- “This is just business”....
- “Growth is supposed to be chaotic”....
- “Once we make that next hire, things will settle down”....
Because the truth is – you’re not just overwhelmed.
You’re over it.
Tired of watching others scale with ease… while you’re still stuck in the weeds.
Tired of being told AI is “the future” – without a single person showing you how to actually use it in your business.
That changes now
Everything You’ve Been Taught About “Scaling” Is Dead Wrong…
Spend more.
Hustle harder.
- You don’t need more people…
- You don’t need more dashboards…
- You don’t need more software…
- You don’t need more complexity…
- A new way to make decisions
- A new way to design workflows.
- A new way to scale… without scaling your overhead costs, your calendar, or your anxiety levels.
And that’s what this book gives you – page by page, prompt by prompt, system by system. Everything you ever need to transform your workday, your business, and your life.

The 5 AI Leadership Laws That Will Separate Tomorrow’s Titans From Today’s Dinosaurs
the award-winning mindset shift that turns overwhelmed teams into AI-powered machines and transforms “late adopters” into unstoppable industry leaders
From the Desk of The Author, Aamir Qutub
- Wednesday 6:43 AM
- Geelong, VIC, Australia
Remember how you felt the last time you bought some new software or hired a consultant, convinced it would fix everything…
…only to find yourself right back where you started?
Overworked, underpaid, and secretly wondering if you were the fool?
If that hits home, then I’m writing this message for you.
Let me tell you a story.
It wasn’t long ago that I was doing back‑breaking work for peanuts.
I scrubbed airport floors and delivered newspapers. I borrowed A$2 000 from a relative so I could code websites in a garage. At one point, I signed for a $100 000 business loan that almost crushed me and my wife.
And then, like a desperate nerd clutching his last few dollars and hoping to make his dream come true, I had an epiphany:
- What if the problem wasn’t me or my team or even my tools… what if it was the way I made decisions?
Not the hype‑driven nonsense you see on social media, but practical systems that can think faster than any of us and actually make work easier.
I didn’t get it right the first time (or the second).
I spent nights staring at screens, researching, testing, and eating instant noodles at 2 A.M.
But slowly, I found a method that transformed my chaotic, money‑bleeding business into a thriving, automated machine.
Suddenly, emails were drafted, proposals priced, and forecasts corrected while I slept.
A 90‑minute decision took 90 seconds.
It felt like cheating.
As you may assume, people are constantly asking me why I’m practically giving away this system.
“Are you crazy, Aamir? Why sell the goose that lays the golden eggs?”
The answer is simple.
I know what it feels like to think you’ve tried everything and still be drowning. I don’t want you to go through years of trial and error like I did.
If I can hand you the blueprint and spare you that pain, I will.
That’s why I wrote The CEO Who Mocked AI.
This 288‑page book lays out the entire framework, step by step.
If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by tech buzzwords, I wrote it for you.
If you’re secretly afraid AI will make your job obsolete, I wrote it for you.
And if you’re sick and tired of working harder while getting less, I definitely wrote it for you.
Before I get into the details, let me quickly address something.
You might be sceptical (you should be). There are a lot of charlatans out there slinging “get rich quick” formulas with AI. I’m not one of them.
My story is messy, humble, and real. I’ve failed more than I’ve succeeded, and I’ve earned every lesson in this book the hard way.
So if you’re expecting magic – leave now.
However, if you’re ready to implement a real, proven system and do the work, read on. This is the book you’ve been waiting for.
What This Book Will Unlock…
-
Reclaiming 5 – 15 Hours Every Week
Because AI will handle your drudge work. -
Automating Entire departments
Sales, HR, Ops, Finance – so they run smoother and more effectively without you (hint: someone’s getting in the way). -
Winning More Deals Than Ever
Because proposals and client interactions are written by AI trained to close. -
Deploying 24/7 AI Employees
That perform like full‑time staff but cost less than a fraction of a salary (think 97% savings!). -
Growing Your Profits Without Headcount
Giving you back your time, energy and freedom to do more of what you want in your life!
But Wait, Aamir, What Do I Get?
I’m not just sending you a book and wishing you luck.
I’m stuffing this envelope with what I call “Thank you, please implement now!” bonuses. Bonuses that take you by the hand, show you behind the curtain, and give you step by step instructions to transform your workflow, business and life.
Here’s what I’ve included:
Bonus #1
10× Workflow Productivity With AI (A$197 Value)
This isn’t a theory or some crazy automation workflow (the ones you see floating around linkedIn nowadays) with a million steps and no real business case.
These templates are currently working inside my business, our clients businesses, and they’re absolutely ready to make waves inside yours!
By the end of the masterclass, you’ll walk away with the recipes. Use them and, like clockwork, you’ll start freeing up entire days each month. Boom!rs each-every week from your jam-packed, overflowing calendar.
Bonus #2
AI Readiness Scorecard (A$47 Value)
because they can’t pinpoint where they
are right now.
This scorecard is your answer.
It’s an easy to use diagnostic tool
that reveals exactly where you’re
bleeding time, money and energy
across all the major areas of your
business.
know the first, second, and third key opportunities
where AI will make the biggest impact to your bottom line
(and your sanity – Tsk tsk!)
In fact, many Australian CEOs tell me the scorecard alone was worth the
price of the book (normally retailing at $29,95) ten times over.
Because, Frankly, Here’s The Thing…
That’s why these bonuses – and the Amazon Bestseller itself – are yours for Free.
All you need to do is hit the button below, enter your address and cover the shipping!
Still Think AI Is Just Hype? Let Me Tell You About My Friends…
If you’re still on the fence about AI, let me introduce you to a few friends of mine.
These aren’t tech unicorns or venture-funded juggernauts.
These are real businesses (just like yours) that stopped drowning in complexity and started scaling with clarity.
The Problem
Chi Mei Medical Center was buried in manual invoice processing.
Staff were spending endless hours verifying line items, cross-checking records, and pushing paper instead of helping patients.
The Solution
The Result
That’s $1,180,000 in saved wages!
They went home earlier. They smiled more. Stress levels plummeted.
AI didn’t just streamline workflows. It restored humanity to a healthcare business.
The real winners aren’t just reducing costs – they’re reclaiming their personal clarity.
More time. More margin. More meaning.
This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about removing the pointless, the repetitive, and the tedious so your people can do the powerful.
And it’s only just beginning.
A Word Of Warning: This Isn’t For Everyone
Let’s get this out of the way.
If you’re looking for another “AI trends” brochure to skim on a Sunday afternoon… put this down now.
If you want to debate the ethics of AI for six months while your competitors run circles around you… you’re going to hate what’s inside.
If you’re so addicted to “the way it’s always been done” that the idea of change makes you break out in hives… this will be a waste of your time.
If you’re secretly hoping there’s a magic button that will solve your problems without you lifting a finger, learning anything new, or making a single decision… you’re going to be disappointed.
This book will not pat you on the head. It will not give you motivational fluff. It will not care about your feelings more than your results.
It’s a blueprint for action, and action requires guts.
Who This IS For
- Bloated admin processes that chew up time, energy, and wages.
- Teams running on stress instead of systems.
- Opportunities lost because projects move at a crawl.
- Competitors overtaking you not because they’re better, but because they’re faster.
You’ve seen flashes of what’s possible when the right tool meets the right problem.
But you’ve also been burned by the hype.
You don’t want AI for the sake of AI-you want a cutting edge, measurable, operational advantage.
This book is your shortcut to building that advantage.
What You Can Expect If You Execute
-
How to identify your “high-friction zones”
and replace them with AI-driven processes that run 24/7 without you babysitting them. -
The exact method for mapping AI into your operations
so it integrates seamlessly with your people, tech, and customers. -
Case studies you can steal from,
so you’re not experimenting in the dark-you’re copying what’s already working in the wild. -
Implementation sprints
you can execute in 30 days or less-so results aren’t a vague “someday,” they’re a line item on next month’s P&L
- You’ll claw back hours-dozens of them-without cutting headcount.
- You’ll watch bottlenecks disappear and project velocity skyrocket.
- You’ll reduce wage waste, contractor blowouts, and rework costs.
- You’ll see your team’s mood shift from overloaded to in control.
- You’ll have a business that moves at the pace of your ambition, not the pace of your admin.
Or you can get your hands on the same blueprint that’s already transforming how companies operate-and turn it into a competitive edge before your competition does.
If you’re smart enough to know there’s a better way, and bold enough to act before the window closes…
Look, I get it.
The internet is full of overcaffeinated “gurus” promising to change your life for three easy payments of $997 (and a free T-shirt).
That’s not me.
I’m a business owner like you – minus the Lamborghini rental and Instagram quotes about “grind culture.”
So here’s the deal:
Order The CEO Who Mocked AI today, read it, steal my frameworks, watch the masterclass, fill out the scorecard…
…and if you’re not sitting there thinking “Wow, that was worth at least 100x the $9.95 shipping,” just email me within 30 days and I’ll personally refund your shipping cost.
No forms.
No hoops.
No “must send us the book back in pristine condition.”
Instead,…
You keep the book…
You keep the bonuses…
You keep the ideas…
(You could even use them to beat me in a pitch – I’ll cope.)
Why would I do this?
Because I’m not in the business of taking money from people I can’t help.
And because I know – if you actually crack this book open and use it – you’re going to see a return before the ink is even dry on your credit card statement.
So worst-case scenario?
You get a great book, a couple of killer bonuses, and a funny story about the time some guy in Geelong sent you $9.95 back.
Best case?
You finally stop drowning in busywork, start running your business like a weapons-grade operator, and send me a thank-you note from the beach.
Either way – you win.
You’ve had breakfast with your family.
Your inbox is already cleared.
Your calendar has only two meetings today – both strategic.
And the rest of your business?
It’s humming along without you needing to push, chase, or rescue it.
That’s not a dream.
From This…
-
Endless Admin Loops:
You’re stuck signing off on proposals, chasing staff, and firefighting daily. -
Slow Motion Growth:
Projects crawl, deals drag, opportunities slip away. -
Team Burnout:
People are drowning in tasks that don’t move the needle. -
Margin Squeeze:
Every extra dollar in revenue seems to cost two to deliver. -
Decision Fatigue:
You feel like you’re playing whack-a-mole with problems all day.
- Waking up excited about what’s ahead instead of bracing for chaos.
- Leaving the office with a clear head (and daylight to spare).
- Seeing your team relaxed, focused, and proud of their results.
- Finally having space to think bigger instead of just keeping up.
The only question is…
Not Another AI ‘Guru’ – Here’s The Proof I Can Back It Up
Fair question.
So here’s the short version.
I’m not a theorist. I’m not another “LinkedIn futurist” who learned about AI last Tuesday and now wants to sell you a $10K mastermind.
I’m a builder.
I’ve been in the trenches growing companies for over a decade – and the results speak for themselves

- Wasted time stuck in admin loops.
- Deals you should have won slipping to faster competitors.
- Wage blowouts that eat your margins alive.
One Final Thing…
I’m asking you to do this for you.
Because the truth is, we are in the middle of a once-in-a-generation shift.
AI isn’t a trend.
It’s not “coming soon.”
It’s here.
It’s moving fast.
And it’s already rewriting the rules of business.
In a year’s time, there will be two kinds of leaders:
- Those who adapted, learned, and led their teams into this new era…
- Those who got left behind, blaming “the market” while quietly wondering when it all passed them by.
If you’ve read this far, I already know you’re not the complacent type.
You care about your business, your team, and your future too much to sit on the sidelines while the play is unfolding.
So here’s my personal ask:
You bring the courage to turn the page and start.
Your future self – and your team – will thank you for it.
To your success,
[Signature]
Aamir Qutub Founder + CEO Enterprise Monkey
P.P.S. We’re down to 524 copies. At the current pace, they’ll be gone in days – maybe hours. Once they are, this offer disappears and you’ll be paying full price, with no bonuses, while your competitors quietly install these systems and leapfrog you.
You can either act now and secure your copy…
…or wait, watch the door close, and spend the next 90 days (heck, year!) playing catch-up.
Will You Break Free In This Once-In-A-Lifetime Tech Opportunity?
- You’re running a lean, profitable business that moves at the pace of your ambition - without you chained to every gear and lever.
- You’re still where you are today… fighting fires, missing opportunities, burning nights on busywork, and wondering why you didn’t grab the one blueprint designed to pull you out of it.
This is about making the decision now – because the people who move first in an AI revolution don’t just get ahead, they make it almost impossible for everyone else to catch up.
The difference between those two futures?
One click – right now.
FAQ – Read This Before You Order
“I’m not technical… will I even understand this?”
“I’ve tried ChatGPT… it gave me garbage. How is this different?”
In the book, I hand you the exact frameworks, prompts, and processes we use to get outputs that perform like they were written by a top-tier marketer, CFO, or operations expert. It’s not about asking AI questions – it’s about giving it the right jobs.
“I don’t think AI works in my industry.”
AI isn’t about replacing your industry expertise – it’s about multiplying it. If your business runs on decisions, documents, or data… AI works in your industry.
