Rock Bottom Has Wi-Fi

February 3rd, 2026. I had exactly $47.23 in my checking account. Rent was due in 11 days. I was desperate.

So I did something insane: I asked ChatGPT to turn my last $47 into $10,000.

The AI’s Exact Plan (I Followed It Blindly)

ChatGPT gave me a 14-day blueprint. I’m sharing the whole thing because I think everyone deserves to know this works.

Days 1-3: The $47 Investment

• $12 — Canva Pro (1 month)
• $20 — One domain name
• $15 — Coffee and printer ink (yes, really)

The AI told me to create a “local business AI audit” service. Walk into businesses, show them how AI could save them money, charge $500 for a full implementation plan.

Days 4-7: First Revenue

I walked into 23 local businesses with a printed one-page AI audit. 7 said yes on the spot. That’s $3,500 in verbal commitments by Day 7.

Days 8-11: Scaling With AI

Used ChatGPT to:

• Write personalized audit reports (15 min each vs 3 hours manually)
• Create follow-up email sequences
• Build a simple landing page for inbound leads
• Generate social proof posts for LinkedIn

Days 12-14: The Snowball

Word spread. 3 referrals came in. One restaurant owner posted about me on Facebook. By Day 14: $11,340 deposited.

Why Local AI Consulting Is the Biggest Opportunity in 2026

Here’s what most people miss: 95% of local businesses have NEVER used AI. They don’t even know what ChatGPT is. You’re not competing with other AI consultants — you’re competing with zero.

The Exact ChatGPT Prompts I Used

I’ve compiled every single prompt, template, and script into a free resource. Get it here — this is the exact system that took me from $47 to $11K.

What I’m Doing Now

Month 2: $28,000. Month 3 (projected): $45,000. Same system. Same AI. Just more businesses.

The craziest part? I work about 4 hours a day. ChatGPT does the rest.
