I recently came across Davie Fogarty’s YouTube video where he shared his story of going from $500 to $500 million. It is the kind of story entrepreneurs love. These stories attract us because they make us believe we can do it too. The problem is most of us watch, nod along, and then get back to business as usual. Inspiration rarely translates into execution.
That gap, between knowing and doing, is where AI will completely change the game.
The Death of Step By Step Articles
For years, the model was simple: read an article, buy a course, follow the steps. But let’s be honest. How many step by step guides have you actually finished? How many “$10M in 12 months” videos did you watch that turned into real projects?
Entrepreneurs are already overwhelmed. One survey found most business owners spend far more time reacting to daily tasks than working on long term strategy (Agility PR, 2023). Another report found that information overload is a major drain on productivity and even linked it to poor health outcomes for managers (Haiilo, 2024). More content is not the solution.
The future is not another checklist. The future is AI that walks with you.
Why Prompt Engineering Is a Band Aid
Right now, an entire industry has popped up selling prompt packs, guides, and courses. The global prompt engineering market was valued at around $222 million dollars in 2023 and is expected to grow past 2 billion dollars by 2030 (Grand View Research, 2024). That is real money flowing into a temporary fix.
Prompt guides are popular because they help people squeeze better results out of ChatGPT. But the fact that you even need a guide proves the flaw. Users should not have to engineer the guide. The AI should come with the guidance baked in. Prompt engineering is a stopgap that will not survive. The real play is pre-engineered conversations and guides.
From Consumption to Execution
Here is what that looks like. Imagine instead of reading Davie’s “$500 to $500M” story, you opened an AI chat.
The AI would act like a one on one coach. It would ask you questions:
-
What niche are you choosing?
-
What capital do you have?
-
What is your 90 day target?
From there, it would propose a project plan: milestones, tasks, and deadlines. It would nudge you weekly: “This is your ad testing sprint. Did you finish your creative assets?” By the end of 12 months, you would not just know Davie’s process., you would have lived your own version of it.
This is the shift: from passive consumption to guided execution.
Who Is Trying And Why It Still Falls Short
Some companies are experimenting with adding AI into learning and coaching. Platforms like Coursebox use AI to turn existing lessons into interactive courses with chatbot tutors. Tools like Rocky.ai offer ongoing AI micro coaching for leadership and personal growth. Even new education startups like LearningRO are building AI tutors to help students step through school content.
These are interesting moves. They prove there is demand for AI guided learning. But notice something? None of them solve the problem we are really talking about here.
No one is taking an entrepreneurial story, article, or video lesson like Davie’s “$500 to $500M” and turning it into a guided, conversational workflow that ends with a real project plan in your hands. That gap is wide open.
And that is exactly the opportunity.
Why This Future Is Inevitable
Look at where the money is going. The conversational AI market was valued at $11.58 billion dollars in 2024 and is projected to grow to over $40 billion dollars by 2030 (Grand View Research, 2024). Other reports put it as high as $151 billion dollars by 2033 (IMARC Group, 2024). Businesses are already betting that conversational systems, not static content, will define how we learn and act.
At the same time, entrepreneurs keep failing not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack systems of execution. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20.4 percent of small businesses fail in their first year, about 49.4 percent fail by year five, and about 65.3 percent fail by year ten (Commerce Institute, 2024). Another analysis found that nearly one in four businesses that started in 2022 had already closed by 2023 (KNPR, 2024).
The message is clear. Knowledge is everywhere. Content is everywhere. But without guided systems of action, most entrepreneurs do not survive. AI that delivers structured guidance solves the exact problems that sink businesses.
The Takeaway For Entrepreneurs
The biggest mistake right now is confusing inspiration with execution. We watch the videos, buy the courses, even collect prompt packs, and then convince ourselves we are making progress. But consuming content is not the same as building.
Entrepreneurs fail not because they lack information, but because they lack a structured way to act on it. That is where the opportunity lies.
If you are an entrepreneur, you have two options:
-
Use AI guides as they emerge to turn what you already know into real projects and measurable progress.
-
Build AI guides for your industry so others can stop wasting time on content and start moving forward.
Either way, the winners will not be the ones who know the most. The winners will be the ones who execute the best.
Closing Thought
The era of teaching people how to prompt an AI is short lived. Prompt guides and courses are popping up everywhere, but they are only a temporary fix. The future belongs to tools where the prompts are already built in and the AI leads you through the process from start to finish.
The real opportunity is pre engineered conversations. Tools where you pick a topic such as real estate marketing, startup growth, or Davie’s $500 to $500M, and the AI already has the questions, guardrails, and outcomes built in.
That is the future. Either get ready to use those tools or start developing them yourself.
