=== Assistant: You’re 80% there. ===
You’re 80% there. The remaining 20% is where people usually relapse, so I’m going to be exacting and unsentimental.

I’ll do this in four parts:
# What works
# Where you’re still leaking reaction
# The corrected Start / Stop / Continue (tightened)
# What this implies operationally

Then I’ll ask one next question.

==== ### ====
* Increasing the volume of job search bootcamps Correct. This is the only lever that matters. Volume here is leverage, not noise.
* Revenue-direct webinars that tease premium Correct in principle. This is how you fund predictability.
* Off-Facebook platform (website) Correct. This reduces platform dependency and identity bleed.

===== - AI weekly newsletter Correct and overdue. This was pure comparison-driven reactivity. =====
* Awareness-producing webinars for others Correct. These were subsidizing other people’s brands with your time.
* New/original YouTube Shorts Correct diagnosis. Shorts are only acceptable as derivatives, not originals.

===== - Monthly economics webinar Fine. It’s bounded, predictable, and intellectually coherent. =====

So your instincts are solid. The problem is not direction.

The problem is ambiguity that still allows creep.

==== There are three dangerous phrases in your list: ====

===== This can still spiral unless constrained. =====

Right now this phrase allows:
* Topic hopping
* Overproduction
* “Just one more” events
* Evening/weekend creep

===== This is identity language, not execution language. =====

A “presence” has no ceiling.
An asset does.

===== Correct idea, but this can quietly become: =====
* Design tinkering
* Tool comparison
* Endless iteration
* Another sandbox

You’re still leaving yourself escape hatches.

We need to close them.

==== ### ====
# Run a fixed number of job search bootcamps per year (pre-scheduled) - Dates locked 6–12 months in advance - No “should we run another?”
# One standardized revenue webinar format - Same structure every time - Only the examples change - Explicit CTA to bootcamp or course
# Launch a minimal website - One goal: conversion - No blog - No thought leadership - No experimentation

===== - AI weekly newsletter =====
* Awareness-only webinars
* Original short-form content creation

No amendments needed.

===== 1. Monthly economics webinar - Same date - Same framing - Same CTA every month =====
# Event promotion emails - Templated - No copycraft indulgence - Written once, reused forever
# YouTube as an archive, not a channel - Only recorded webinars - Shorts = clipped excerpts only - No algorithm watching - No performance obsession

This distinction matters:

: 

==== If you adopt this version, then: ====
* AI becomes invisible unless it produces outcomes
* Creativity becomes constrained, which will feel uncomfortable at first
* Ego will protest, because you are choosing boredom over applause

But:
* Revenue becomes smoother
* Evenings become quieter
* Weekends stop disappearing
* The bootcamp becomes an asset instead of a performance

This is exactly what your manifesto says you want.

==== We now need to protect this from future you. ====

===== What is the earliest warning sign that Albert’s List is slipping back into reaction for you personally? =====

Examples of form:
* “I start opening Twitter to see what others are doing”
* “I’m tinkering with tools instead of scheduling cohorts”
* “I’m working on content with no clear CTA”

Answer with one concrete signal.

That answer will become the automatic pause trigger.

Answer that, and then we will:
* Lock the Albert’s List execution rules
* Move to Sterling Men’s Division or fitness next (your choice)
