Disclaimer: Fiverr updated their anti-scraping protections ~a year after I created this, so you may receive an error using the approach I show in the vid (atm seems 50/50). If this occurs, know that you can still scrape Fiverr and any other resource—you just have to use a third party approach like Firecrawl.dev.

As I frequently mention, it's hard (and unreliable) enough that I typically do it *last*, and prioritize it less than I do other systemic changes within the automation agency. That said, eventually you will need to start delegating work—and this guide helps you avoid the biggest mistakes in doing it.

I run LeftClick, an AI growth consultancy. We've done work for large brands you're likely familiar with, like Mr. Beast, Anthropic, OpenAI, and a few others.Uploaded 08-07-26In plain English: I help people build systems that generate leads, close deals, and scale businesses, mostly using new AI models like Claude. I also make videos about how to do all of that here on YouTube.It hasn't always been this way. My family immigrated from a Soviet bloc country (People's Republic of Bulgaria) in the 90s. They worked extremely hard, and we were broke for a very long time. I grew up wishing for more security, stability, and freedom over my own life.I don't have a programming degree, and never took formal education for IT or workflows. I learned it all myself from YouTube videos like you're watching now.As for my path: I started my first business at 19 in college. We threw events (mostly parties) at campus bars, and charged people for entry. That failed to provide me enough money to pay my bills, so at 21, I started another business, a door-to-door marketing agency.From there, every year, I would start several companies, over 10 in total. I did this in a variety of industries, like e-commerce, photography, videography, SaaS, credit repair, etc. Each grew slightly more profitable, until, at 25, I would start 1SecondCopy, a content writing company. A friend and I eventually scaled that to over $90,000/m. It was my first taste of financial independence, and the reason I'm here today.Since starting my journey, I've grown a fair bit of capital. To diversify my income, at 30, I began investing in other businesses and advising companies on how to grow in the AI era. These include SaaS businesses, like Clairvo, agencies like Dental Connect, and more. Collectively, the businesses that I own outright or are a part of generate over $10 million per year. This returns far more than the 5-10% you would get in the stock market, but also requires a lot of my active time. There's a tradeoff there, but I greatly prefer active investing, where I have control over the entities I'm a part of.It wasn't easy to get here. But I did in the end! For anyone on their own entrepreneurial journey: I wish you luck, happiness, and perseverance.

Looking to create a beautiful frosted navbar with TailwindCSS? Lucky for you, Tailwind makes it incredibly easy to get started. Uploaded 28-02-21It takes maybe 30 seconds tops: 1. Add a bg-opacity utility class to the parent div to make navbar transparent. I used bg-opacity-80 in this video, but you can use whatever level you'd like.2. Add a bg-clip-padding class to the parent div to constrain the blur effect.3. Create your own custom CSS class (I called mine blur-backdrop-filter, for instance) that includes a backdrop-filter: blur(6px) property. You can change the pixel value to whatever you'd like - higher means a stronger blur (more frosting), and lower means a weaker blur.Hope that helps! Learn more about your ad choices.
