The How-to AI Library (Notion)

A curated, public Notion library of practical AI how-tos: tools, prompts, and step-by-step workflows organized so beginners can pick a task and follow it through.

Why I recommend it: A good starting shelf if AI still feels abstract — pick one workflow, run it end to end, then come back for the next.

Contrarian Thinking Resources

Free resources from Codie Sanchez's Contrarian Thinking on buying, financing, and scaling small cash-flowing businesses — newsletters, masterclasses, deal frameworks, and acquisition guidance.

Why I recommend it: Use the free resources and skip the upsells until you have looked at real deals. Buying an existing small business is an underrated alternative to starting from zero.
