What if your business could operate at a 90% profit margin?

Not someday. Not after years of grinding. Right now—with the technology already at your fingertips.

David Asarnow spent 17 years in corporate America, growing a $6-8M company into a $45M division. Then he built an all-digital portrait studio franchise to eight figures in five years. Now? He's helping entrepreneurs leverage AI to cut operating costs down to 10%.

His clients are downsizing teams—from six people down to one. Not because they're struggling, but because AI agents are doing the work that used to require full-time employees.

In this conversation, David reveals:

The Team Shift: David told his team three and a half years ago: "I know you're scared AI will take your job. But if you don't use it, you'll be replaced by someone who does. And if WE don't use it, we'll be replaced by companies who do."

Recently, a team member said: "I don't have as much work. I'm getting things done faster. Should I stop using AI?"

David's response? "If you don't use AI, you don't have a job."

The AI Agent Strategy: Create autonomous agents that handle tasks you used to pay people full-time to do:

1. Copy agents that write on-brand messaging
2. Reporting agents that scan Facebook and Google Ads and deliver ROI analysis
3. Customer service agents that handle inquiries

What used to require hiring an outside agency or a full-time employee? Now it's an agent you build in an afternoon.

The CHAOS Framework: David created this hiking on a Friday:

1. Coherence: Slow down to speed up
2. Action: Focus on ONE thing for 90 days
3. Outcome: That one thing will achieve more than 10 things you're juggling
4. Stabilization: Persistence beats shiny objects

The Communication Secret: Most people use AI and get garbage. Why? They communicate with it like it's Google.

Instead, treat it like your smartest collaboration partner. Ask it to interview YOU. Ask it questions like a first-grader needs step-by-step instructions. Train it on frameworks (marketing psychology, buyer behavior, brand voice).

David's hack? He opens two windows—one with ChatGPT, one with the software he's using. He asks ChatGPT to troubleshoot step-by-step instead of digging through help documentation.

The $100 vs. $10K Shift: Someone bought David's sub-$100 offer and said it added more value than a $10K training they'd purchased before. The market is shifting: People expect value, but they're not investing in $50K masterminds anymore.

Give massive value at lower price points. Build trust. They'll buy everything you offer.

The Human Edge: AI gives you 90% of the way there. But unless you understand marketing frameworks, buyer psychology, and brand voice—you'll get average results.

The difference between stellar output and mediocre? YOU. The human who knows what good looks like.

The Proofreading Disaster: A client submitted a workbook to David's team for design. When they got it back, they complained: "This doesn't match our brand voice AT ALL."

David's response? "That's interesting. We didn't change a single word. This is the exact copy you gave us."

The client had written it in ChatGPT, never proofread it, and sent it off for design.

The Bottom Line: AI isn't replacing you. It's amplifying you. But only if you know how to use it. Learn the frameworks. Master the prompts. Build the agents. And always—ALWAYS—proofread.
