Dear swamped solopreneur trying to break free from “Admin Hell” to focus on needle-moving work you love, and spend more time with family… 

Are you drowning in busywork?

Here’s how to save 11+ hours per week by harnessing a new “AI-Tomation” system—even if you’ve never used AI, you’re not tech-savvy, and you’re still manually doing things you know you need to automate.

Hey friend,

If you want a simple way to eliminate trivial, time-sucking tasks from your plate once and for all… 

So you can spend more time with your family… before you blink and time slips away… or your children grow up too quickly…

Then this might be the most important message you read all week.

Here’s why…

My name is Mike Cardona.

Some people call me the “Automation Alchemist”. 🧪

And just like you, I’m a solopreneur.

When I first dove into solopreneurship, I had NO systems in my business. 

I’d fritter away hours each week on trivial admin work like managing my inbox or onboarding clients or exporting .CSV files… 

Instead of focusing on needle-moving activities like content creation, product development, strategic planning, and relationship-building.

And guess what?

It sucked!

But not only did it suck—it held me back. 

And led me to a rough patch of embarrassment after embarrassment…

The Solopreneur Trap:

From 2014 - 2018, I drove 6 separate businesses into the ground because of my bullheaded belief that I had to do everything myself.  

(After all, they call it “SOLO-preneurship” for a reason… right? 🙄)

I poured my heart and soul and countless hours into…

• An iOS app.
• An Amazon FBA biz.
• A Facebook Ads agency.

And 3 more ventures that I hoped would work out… 

But they all failed miserably. 

In hindsight, I’m ashamed of those dark years. 

I’m at peace with my financial losses. But I’ll never get my time back—or the relationships I squandered throughout the process.

Fast-forward to 2022. 

My consulting business at the time hit almost $200,000 in revenue. With only one employee: yours truly. 

The best part? I only worked about 28 hours a week. Down from 95 hours a week in 2014. 🤯

So what changed between my 6 failed ventures and my higher-leverage, more profitable one?

My “AI-Tomation” System (AI + Automation) 

By combining AI with Automation in a totally new way, I’ve been able to remove myself from work I HATE doing (e.g., mindless copy and pasting, backing up files manually, creating the same files and folders for clients by hand, etc.).

In a moment I’ll tell you how YOU can do it too… so you can finally escape the suffocation of busywork that keeps solopreneurs stuck.

But first, you might be wondering:

How does “AI-Tomation” Work?

Picture this: 

You've got an idea for a social media post or a newsletter issue.

❌ The OLD way:

• Type out a prompt.
• Paste it into ChatGPT.
• Sift through the outputs.
• Then copy and paste to Google Docs.

✔️ The NEW way:

• You have an idea.
• AI processes it and automatically generates 10 ideas or outlines based on your idea.
• Then automation steps in—creates a Google Doc, tucked in your Google Drive folder.

Bottom line?

AI-defined Automation—versus human-defined automation—is the way to scale (without hiring tons of people).

Will this work for ME?

I’m not the only person this system has helped.

My AI-Tomation system enabled Josh to secure a $10k contract for his content marketing agency without having to do hours of research:

And it helped Victoria, Head of Influencer Marketing at Scribe, save at least 20+ hours of work and automate things she didn't even know she could automate:

Last but not least, it saved McKenna Moore 50 hours of work (!) …

It took me 7 years to master automation and 200+ hours of tinkering with AI to refine my AI-Tomation system. 

Today I wanna give it to you on a silver platter—so you can start saving more time, producing better work, and making a bigger impact in the next 7 days.

Now you might be wondering:

Who is this for?

Simply put, Hidden Levers AI Premium is for those who aim to build a real business—versus letting their business run them.

You’ll feel right at home if you consider yourself a…

• Serious solopreneur
• Digital content creator
• Consultant, coach, or agency owner
• Aspiring automation expert
  

If you’re tired of the “solopreneurship isn’t scalable” nonsense or “solopreneurs are freelancers” then this is for you.

It’s not that the message is wrong. It's in fact true. But most solopreneurs stay stuck in the day-to-day and cap their income, growth, and potential.

If you feel like weeks are passing you by, and you can’t keep up with the baseline demands of your business… and work is spilling into every aspect of your life—including time you wish you could be present with your loved ones—then this membership is for you.

Who is this NOT for?

While we believe any solopreneur or digital content creator can benefit from strategically implementing AI and automation, Hidden Levers AI Premium may not be the best fit if:

❌ You’re seeking shortcuts or ‘get rich quick' schemes.

❌ Your sole goal is to make money with AI. Yes, we’re here to make money but our purpose is bigger than that. We’re here to do the right thing and make a big impact in the long-term.

❌ You consider "solopreneurship" to just be another form of freelancing.

❌ You want a completely hands-off, passive business—yesterday. Total automation takes time to build. Be ready to put in work upfront.

❌ You refuse to systemize any part of your business. If you really despise the idea of systems and processes, even in small ways, then this newsletter won't align with your approach.

What kind of content can I expect?

Each issue of Hidden Levers AI Premium Newsletter will contain 1 key strategy, tactic or tip to help you quickly implement an AI-powered automation (that is, an AI-Tomation) with ease. 

The goal is to avoid overwhelming you while making it actionable. Our belief is that automation serves you—not the other way around.

Here are a few examples:

• An inside look at how I create ChatGPT Mega-Prompts in less than 30 minutes (they used to take me 7 hours each).

• How I built automations and presented data to clients in a way that enabled me to build a consulting biz that generated almost 200K in revenue in 2022.
• Plug-and-play automation templates and ChatGPT prompts based on feedback and your requests (that I don’t share anywhere else).

And anything else YOU’d like to see! 

Remember: a perk of joining this membership is that you can inform future content we produce.

What’s the investment?

Many 1-on-1 automation consultations I’ve done in the past have cost my clients as much as $7,000 per project. 

But this membership won't cost you anywhere near $7,000…

And it won’t cost you an arbitrary guru number like $997…

In fact, it won't even cost you $497...

If you sign-up right now, right here, then you can secure your lifetime access for just…

…one payment of $197.

Even if you only engage with the membership and community for one year, then this price boils down to just $0.54 per day. 

If you stick around longer? It’s even more inexpensive.

(Is freeing up 11+ hours per week worth $0.54/day to you?)

But here’s the catch: 

It might not stay at that price forever. So if you’re interested, act now! 

And to sweeten the deal for you even further….

Frequently asked questions:

When will the Discord community be available? 

The Discord is live!

Will I have direct access to Mike Cardona?

Yes and no. 

If it's a question related to a post I've shared then that will take priority. 

For other questions, I'm aiming for a community-led approach where others can share their expertise, too. Of course I'll keep an eye on things, make sure you’re taken care of. 

But I won’t be available 24/7 on speed-dial at this price because I need to focus on creating better content for you!

Note: My 6-month goal is to have MORE availability and will be more active once the community is setup and running.

How much does this membership cost?

Just one payment of $197 USD.

After I pay $197 upfront, is the membership and community really free for life?

YES! It’s a heck of a deal, I know. :-)

You pay $197 today and retain lifetime access to the membership content AND community for $0 every month—forever. Pay once, learn and network for a lifetime!

Putting myself in your shoes, I remember believing automation was an expense (mistake). And I had to work hard later on to make up for that mistake. So I want to help change that perception and protect more people from making the same mistake by removing the subscription model.

Is AI just a fad? Should I believe all the hype?

I know the threadbois and AI hustle-culture bros are giving the topic a bad rap but make no mistake: AI is here to stay.

And its relevance is only going to increase—fast. Which means the gap between your skills and those of folks who are proactively embracing AI will increase at an alarming rate.

Unless, of course, you invest in your knowledge and skills today and get ahead of the curve. (Versus getting left in the rear-view mirror…)

Plus, AI by itself is incomplete. 

Our goal with this community is to focus on blending AI with automation to create revolutionary levels of efficiency in your (or your client’s) business.

What software tools will I need to make the most of this membership?

People are always surprised with how boring my (automation/AI) tech stack is:

• Zapier
• Make
• Airtable
• ChatGPT
• Notion (for documentation)

Now, do you need to use all these tools? Not necessarily.

You can pick and choose, and we’ll make an effort to tailor resources and support to your unique tech stack. But I’ll say this…

→ Boring (simple) wins.

Do you have a refund policy?

Yep. 30-day money-back guarantee. 

If, after 30 days, you’re not 100% satisfied with your purchase, just let Mike know via email and we’ll refund 100% of your investment and you can keep any resources and the bonus you would have already received.

While we haven’t had to issue any refunds yet, we simply refuse to keep your money unless you’re delighted with the program.

I’m not tech savvy. Is this membership for me?

Yes, we designed everything for non-tech savvy beginners in mind. :-)

I’m not technically a “solopreneur”... I have employees or work in a team. Will I still get value from this membership?

Absolutely. In fact, some of these resources might be even more impactful on a larger scale with more moving parts.

Will this community require a big time commitment?

This community is here to serve YOU—not the other way around

Show up as much or as little as you’d like. 

Got a quick question? Pop in and ask it. Introverted and just want the content? That’s cool, too! :-)

There is no minimum time commitment required to join this membership.
