Foundation — example tasks

Use these as planning prompts. Targets and deliverables are goals, not promised outcomes.

  • Document your coaching methodology

    Write out your complete coaching framework: core principles, common client problems, your signature process (steps/phases), typical advice for each situation, questions you always ask. The more detailed, the better your AI twin will be.

  • Train your AI twin on Waymaker

    Upload your methodology, past content (blog posts, podcast transcripts, course materials), and sample Q&A pairs to the Waymaker Brain. Configure the AI twin with your voice, personality, and coaching style. Test with 20 sample questions.

  • Design your hybrid coaching program

    Structure a 3-tier program: AI-only access, hybrid (AI + group calls), and VIP (AI + 1-on-1). Define what clients get at each level, the coaching journey, and how AI and human coaching complement each other.

  • Create demo content and sales materials

    Record a 3-minute video showing the AI twin in action. Create a sales page explaining the hybrid coaching model. Write your launch email sequence (5 emails). Set up Stripe subscription products for all 3 tiers.

Launch — example tasks

Use these as planning prompts. Targets and deliverables are goals, not promised outcomes.

  • Recruit 10 beta testers

    Offer 10 people free access to your AI twin for 2 weeks in exchange for detailed feedback and a testimonial. Choose a mix of existing clients and new prospects. Their feedback will improve the AI twin before paid launch.

  • Refine AI twin based on beta feedback

    Review all beta tester interactions with the AI twin. Identify gaps in knowledge, wrong tone, or missing scenarios. Update the training data and test again. This iteration makes the AI twin significantly better.

  • Launch to your full audience

    Send your 5-email launch sequence. Post demo videos on LinkedIn and YouTube. Offer an early-bird discount (20% off first 3 months) for the first 50 subscribers. Include beta tester testimonials in all marketing.

  • Host first live group coaching call

    For Hybrid and VIP tier subscribers, host your first group call. Walk through how to use the AI twin effectively, answer questions, and coach on specific challenges. Record for those who could not attend.

Who could you help first?

A starting audience to investigate: Independent coach / consultant building a practice. Treat this as a hypothesis. Ask what they need, how they solve it now, and whether they would try a small paid pilot.

Ways to test your first customer channel

  • Email your existing list: "I trained an AI on everything I know — try it free"
  • Post a demo video of the AI twin answering a real coaching question
  • Offer 10 free beta testers in exchange for feedback and testimonials
