Entrepreneur’s Log Week 23, 2025
3 Wins:
• ProfitSwarm.ai: I wrote about AI Agents not being ready, really and refined what’s been done so far on my 2 AI workflows to make an AI directory maker.
• I carried on the work refining my automation process down into worksheets for my subscribers. Made an AI tools page as a quick reference for them.
• The list bloomed past 700 subs, as I’ve got paid ads working much better. I’ve paused a lot of them now to test efficacy before I double down.
Struggling recently— have had an almost constant migraine for ~3 weeks. I carry on, despite it, and am happy with that progress at least; though I do not know what will happen if it doesn’t break soon.
Exciting to see the list grow. Some apprehensions that this model will not deliver revenue fast enough to keep the project alive. I do have a runway here, and there’s not miles left. I struggle to balance automations (towards an auto-biz) and email list growth (and ultimately selling a win-win service to my subscribers). Hence I may hire, but then I have the dilemma of a faster burn rate.

We shall see. For now I am in a time of cursing the AI hype which sells us as being further down the AI evolution than we are (in some ways). AI Agents just aren’t quite there yet. They will be, pretty soon I think. But riding the crest of the wave can feel dicey.
But then I think about not riding it, which is far less preferable. There is much opportunity and much risk, now; all we can do is endeavour to progress forwards with AI backed approaches, IMO.
Not a restful weekend ahead, but holy shit do I hope this migraine breaks soon.
Peace
