Como Criar Um Negócio de Uma Pessoa (Em 2026 ainda) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01If your goal, or even your dream, is to
- 0:03have an extremely scalable business
- 0:05that will give you great freedom to
- 0:08generate high profits and put money in
- 0:10your pocket, without the headache of
- 0:12being enslaved by that business or
- 0:14worrying about a team of 10, 15, 20, 50
- 0:17, or even 100 people to maintain those
- 0:19results or keep them growing, then
- 0:21you’ve come to the right video. Not
- 0:25only the CEO of OpenAI, but also the
- 0:28CEO of Anthropic, the company behind
- 0:30Claude, bet that we would see a
- 0:33billion-dollar company operated by a
- 0:35single person. And that idea brings me
- 0:38to one single question: how much could
- 0:40you build if a much larger part of your
- 0:42business execution were handled by
- 0:43agents? And today, I’m going to map
- 0:47out for you a company with three
- 0:48functions operated entirely by agents.
- 0:51And of course, I’ve been working for
- 0:52a while to implement this within my own
- 0:54businesses, and I’ll tell you where
- 0:56I’m focusing most of my energy as an
- 0:57owner. So, if besides generating great
- 0:59results and actually profiting a lot
- 1:01from your business, your goal is to not
- 1:03rely on something extremely complex to
- 1:05keep it growing, then stay until the
- 1:07end of this video, because you might be
- 1:09just a few steps away from achieving
- 1:11that goal. And today I will use an
- 1:13example from one of the markets I
- 1:14operate in: the SaaS and apps market.
- 1:17But remember that what I’m going to
- 1:19share here can also be adapted to any
- 1:21other business, even those in the
- 1:23physical world. Maybe it’s not
- 1:25possible to be completely independent
- 1:27of human labor in that business, but
- 1:29you might want to delegate about 80 to
- 1:3190%of the functions you currently
- 1:32handle yourself. But first, we need to
- 1:36understand what this prediction means
- 1:38—the prediction that soon we will see
- 1:40billion-dollar businesses orchestrated
- 1:42by a single person. So, that statement
- 1:46by Dario, the CEO of Anthropic, was in
- 1:48May 2025, when they were asked when the
- 1:50first billion-dollar company with a
- 1:52single employee might emerge. And at
- 1:55that moment, his answer was somewhere
- 1:57between 2026 and 2027. Of course,
- 1:59it’s a prediction, but there is also
- 2:02a huge difference between a company
- 2:04being valued at 1 billion dollars and a
- 2:06company actually bringing in 1 billion
- 2:08in revenue or putting that kind of
- 2:10profit into the owner's pocket. So, I
- 2:13look at this discussion from a very
- 2:15different angle, one much closer to our
- 2:18reality. And the question remains: can
- 2:22a person identify a problem, build a
- 2:23solution, acquire clients, and maintain
- 2:26an operation with a much smaller
- 2:27structure than what was previously
- 2:29required for all of that to work? And
- 2:32it's this possibility that I've always
- 2:34been interested in exploring. And not
- 2:36just now that we're in the AI boom, but
- 2:38for those who have known me longer,
- 2:39I've mentioned many times here on the
- 2:41channel that my goal with digital and
- 2:43internet entrepreneurship has always
- 2:44been to carry a series of
- 2:45non-negotiables. And among these
- 2:48non-negotiables, the most important is
- 2:50efficiency and effort disproportionate
- 2:52to the result. In other words, I have
- 2:55always sought to create lean businesses
- 2:56, businesses that don't depend on great
- 2:58complexity to generate millions in
- 2:59revenue and profit. And of course, this
- 3:02entire goal has become increasingly
- 3:04refined, thanks to artificial
- 3:06intelligence and the latest major wave
- 3:09we are witnessing, which is the wave of
- 3:11autonomous AI agents. But in light of
- 3:14all this, I've always noticed a very
- 3:16big mistake in people who also want to
- 3:18build scalable businesses—businesses
- 3:20that generate millions in profit, but
- 3:22with little complexity, little headache
- 3:24, and without depending on dozens or
- 3:26even hundreds of people on the team—
- 3:28which is what? People want to design
- 3:31the entire structure before having
- 3:33something validated. So, before
- 3:35thinking about how you can use AI
- 3:38agents, how you can create several
- 3:40departments orchestrated by agents, how
- 3:44you can better utilize Cloud Code or
- 3:46Codex, or how you can use any other AI
- 3:49tool...you have to understand your "why
- 3:53" behind all of this very well. The
- 3:55more validated what you already have in
- 3:57hand is, the easier this "why" comes,
- 4:00the easier this other series of answers
- 4:02and the design you're going to build
- 4:04becomes. So, there's no point in
- 4:06wanting to create a one-person business
- 4:08or wanting to significantly reduce
- 4:10complexity or increase the efficiency
- 4:11of my business if I don't have a
- 4:13business yet or don't have the idea for
- 4:15this business and don't know if this
- 4:17idea is validated. So, you don't
- 4:20necessarily need to have something
- 4:22already making millions, something with
- 4:24a past history, but you at least need
- 4:26to be sure that your idea is validated.
- 4:29And for the context that I'm going to
- 4:31bring here for my example, I started by
- 4:32dividing this example, which is one of
- 4:34my businesses that I'm going to bring
- 4:35here for you, into three functions. The
- 4:37first is delivery, which is the work
- 4:39for which the client pays. The second
- 4:42is sales and support, meaning
- 4:44understanding who arrived to explain
- 4:46the solution and help them use it. And
- 4:49the third function is acquisition, that
- 4:51is, getting new customers to know that
- 4:53business, that solution. So you notice
- 4:56that it's a reverse engineering process
- 4:58. Most people will start by focusing on
- 5:00that first function, on how to use
- 5:02agents or how to use AI to sell more.
- 5:05But that is not the most coherent path
- 5:07to follow, especially since acquisition
- 5:09isn't the easiest starting point. And
- 5:12that is always what I’ve sought to do
- 5:13as well: think big, but start small. So
- 5:16, before you think about creating a
- 5:18business that will be operated and
- 5:19orchestrated by a single person, in
- 5:21this case, you, you have to know how to
- 5:23choose an offer and a delivery model
- 5:25that fits within this structure or that
- 5:27you can at least visualize, have an
- 5:29idea that it will fit. So, in my case,
- 5:32I already had a ready-made application,
- 5:34an app with thousands of users, already
- 5:36being sold and renewed for over 3 years
- 5:38, with very well-defined sectors within
- 5:41that delivery model. So, within that
- 5:44first function I mentioned, which was
- 5:46the structural part, if you don't yet
- 5:48have, for example, a deliverable—and
- 5:51let's use this example: an info-product
- 5:53or a SaaS app—the first step is to
- 5:55understand how you can use the AI tools
- 5:57at your reach to research the main pain
- 6:00points in a specific niche or market,
- 6:02to research the main solutions that
- 6:04exist in that niche or market, and how
- 6:06you can create a similar solution. Many
- 6:11people think it's bad to enter a market
- 6:13where, for example, there are
- 6:14technically a lot of people already
- 6:16selling, that already has a product, a
- 6:18highly scaled solution in that market.
- 6:21And that is a huge mistake. If there is
- 6:24a product, if it's scaled, it's because
- 6:26there is demand. And if there is demand
- 6:27, it's because people are paying to
- 6:30solve that problem. So, what stops you
- 6:33from understanding how that application
- 6:34works, how that solution is delivered,
- 6:36improving that solution, for example,
- 6:37creating a series of new angles for
- 6:39potential offers for the same solution,
- 6:41and attacking it that way? And in my
- 6:43case, the application was already ready
- 6:46since 2023, so I didn't have to redo
- 6:48anything there with artificial
- 6:49intelligence. But there was a very
- 6:51important point within this delivery,
- 6:53this first function, that helped me a
- 6:55lot here with renewals, which was in
- 6:57the sense of getting people to keep
- 6:58using the application. So, many people
- 7:01still don't see the power of LTV, how
- 7:03much a single customer can generate for
- 7:05you over time. Today, in all the
- 7:07businesses I have on the internet, in
- 7:09none of them do I look at a client and
- 7:11think about selling to them just once.
- 7:14Everything revolves around
- 7:15subscriptions or products for constant,
- 7:17recurring use. And to succeed with
- 7:20these business models, the product
- 7:22needs to be good, the delivery needs to
- 7:24be good, and most importantly, the
- 7:26customer needs to use the product. So,
- 7:28in the app scenario, imagine 1,000
- 7:30women download the app. Man, of those
- 7:321,000 women who subscribed and
- 7:34downloaded the app, you can be sure
- 7:37that about 800 will actually complete
- 7:39the sign-up and watch the first workout
- 7:42program. But of those 800 who watched
- 7:46the first workout program, 7 days later
- 7:49only about 200 will open the app again
- 7:51to continue using the workouts, using
- 7:54the community, and even buying or
- 7:56consuming other physical products made
- 7:59available there. So, with all these
- 8:02events, like, at what point is the
- 8:04person getting stuck, why didn't they
- 8:07complete their sign-up and watch that
- 8:09first sequence of workouts? How long
- 8:11does it take them to reach the main
- 8:13experience? Does it depend on the
- 8:16specific ad? So, women coming from ad X
- 8:20tend to consume the app more than those
- 8:23coming from ad Y, since the angle and
- 8:26expectations generated by ad Y differ
- 8:29from ad X. When you study these points,
- 8:32sometimes you see that ad Y has a
- 8:35cheaper cost, but it isn't necessarily
- 8:40bringing in the most qualified customer
- 8:43—the one who will pay for a more
- 8:46expensive subscription or renew their
- 8:48plans for a longer time. With all these
- 8:53events organized, I was able to ask an
- 8:55autonomous AI agent, created in
- 8:57OpenClaw, to compare the groups, show
- 9:00me who came from each campaign and
- 9:02funnel, and then show me, in an
- 9:04extremely segmented way, the possible
- 9:06reasons why these people were or
- 9:08weren't moving forward. So, once again,
- 9:12maybe one campaign brings in many cheap
- 9:14acquisitions, but from people who
- 9:15aren't as qualified. Another one might
- 9:18cost a bit more, but it will bring in a
- 9:19more qualified user, reaching people
- 9:21who will actually use that thing for a
- 9:23longer time. And this is a difference
- 9:25that also changes the investment
- 9:27decision. So this is the type of work
- 9:29that I will initially seek to
- 9:31systematize to understand what kind of
- 9:33experience is making the person come
- 9:35back before bringing more people to
- 9:37this same experience. Now, imagine how
- 9:41a person, a human being, or even I
- 9:43could sit there all day monitoring this
- 9:45amount of data, monitoring this amount
- 9:48of information; it would be humanly
- 9:50impossible. Moving on to the second
- 9:53function, which is the commercial and
- 9:55support side, this was perhaps the
- 9:57easiest to do and maybe also a point
- 9:59where you can reverse the order, right,
- 10:01start here. Why? If you already have a
- 10:04product, man, if you already have all
- 10:06the deliverables for this product, I
- 10:08don't see why you should have humanized
- 10:10support for this product from the first
- 10:12contact with the customer. So, you can
- 10:14take all this material that will be
- 10:16delivered, you can put it, for example,
- 10:18into an artificial intelligence agent
- 10:20and you can create a bot with this
- 10:22agent. This bot can answer customer
- 10:25questions via email, WhatsApp, or even
- 10:27Telegram. And then you can set a series
- 10:31of rules within it that will make it
- 10:33necessary for a human to be called in
- 10:35for that support case. So, besides the
- 10:38commercial part of sales recovery, this
- 10:41was another second very important point
- 10:43that I was also able to systematize.
- 10:45Instead of needing three or four people
- 10:47in support for an extremely scaled
- 10:49business, and even people who needed to
- 10:51speak more than one language because
- 10:53the app is scaled globally, I managed
- 10:56to do this with just one artificial
- 10:57intelligence agent and reduce this
- 10:59humanized support to a single person.
- 11:01Third function, the acquisition part.
- 11:04This part involves a few steps. So, in
- 11:07a very simplistic way, if we consider a
- 11:10classic sales funnel for direct traffic
- 11:12, where we have an ad, VSL, and
- 11:13checkout, or where we have an ad, quiz,
- 11:16VSL, and checkout, my first point of
- 11:18thought was to seek to understand how I
- 11:20could replace tasks that depended on
- 11:22human work with AI agents. Once again,
- 11:25then, starting with metrics analysis,
- 11:27man, that was the easiest part that was
- 11:29also already linked to function number
- 11:31one. Imagine connecting your sales
- 11:35platform, Meta Ads, and any tracking
- 11:37tool you use to your agent, asking it
- 11:39to generate daily performance reports
- 11:41with highly accurate insights on what
- 11:44you need to do to scale and get better
- 11:46results. Imagine how you could break
- 11:50down an existing ad creation process
- 11:53and now integrate artificial
- 11:55intelligence tools and agents to
- 11:57operate them, creating ads for you at a
- 12:00much higher speed. I recently showed in
- 12:04a video here on the channel how the
- 12:06audiovisual side is becoming very
- 12:07refined for Codex and also for Claude
- 12:09Code. So, that is the perspective from
- 12:12which you need to start seeing how to
- 12:14divide your entire business into stages
- 12:17, areas, and functions currently
- 12:18performed by you or someone else. And
- 12:21how can you list the tasks within these
- 12:24functions? And now, how can all these
- 12:27tasks be performed by agents? Take
- 12:29benchmarking, for example—knowing
- 12:31what is working in the market. Man, I
- 12:34have an agent today that analyzes the
- 12:36market in this niche every day and
- 12:38shows me the funnels and the players
- 12:40that are scaling the most. But not only
- 12:44that, I have another skill in there
- 12:46with a copy agent that can create an
- 12:48entire new funnel, from ad ideas to all
- 12:51the quizzes used and sales pages. And I
- 12:54just need to approve it and set a test
- 12:56to run. So that is the workflow you
- 12:58should follow and think about to build
- 13:00a one-person business, the famous "
- 13:02one-person business." Of course, in
- 13:04theory, that name sounds great. But in
- 13:06practice, you see that you have to
- 13:08apply this knowledge and concept in
- 13:11stages. It’s not impossible to do,
- 13:14but I am certain, at least according to
- 13:16my forecast, that in the coming months,
- 13:18I will have a business capable of
- 13:20hitting at least 1 million reais per
- 13:22month, orchestrated solely by me and a
- 13:24series of AI agents. So this video was
- 13:27a sort of roadmap for you to understand
- 13:29what the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic
- 13:31meant when they talked about
- 13:32billion-dollar companies run by a
- 13:34single person. And how you should view
- 13:37this path from here on out. Not as
- 13:40something miraculous where you press a
- 13:42button and suddenly a
- 13:43multimillion-dollar business appears in
- 13:46front of you. No, but starting from
- 13:48validated things you already have,
- 13:50seeking to replace all human labor with
- 13:52agentic labor, as well as the
- 13:53optimization and delivery, of course,
- 13:55beyond just the work. And for those
- 13:58interested in learning more about
- 14:00autonomous AI agents, I have a
- 14:01mini-course where I teach you how to
- 14:03create your first autonomous AI agent,
- 14:05which you can use in your personal life
- 14:07for more productivity or apply directly
- 14:09to your business today. I will leave
- 14:12the link to this training in the video
- 14:13description. Remember that we are still
- 14:16in the first batch at the time you're
- 14:17watching this video, and we might
- 14:18increase the price tomorrow with all
- 14:20the implementations being added to this
- 14:21training. I'll also leave the link to
- 14:25the AI Express mentorship below, where,
- 14:27in addition to gaining all this
- 14:29knowledge related to AI agents and
- 14:31advanced AI, you also get several other
- 14:33training tracks and 12 months of
- 14:35guidance from me and my team, showing
- 14:37you the behind-the-scenes of all my
- 14:40businesses and everything I'm doing to
- 14:42scale them massively online, extremely
- 14:44effectively, up to nine figures and
- 14:46beyond. Other than that, subscribe to
- 14:49the channel, leave a comment, let me
- 14:51know what you thought of this video,
- 14:52and leave suggestions for future videos
- 14:53as well. So that’s it, we’ll wrap
- 14:56up this video here.
