Claude Cowork made you slower (here's why)
|
Hey Reader, Everyone told you Claude Cowork would make your business 10x more productive. Instead you feel like you have more work than ever. That's not your fault, and I made the same mistake for months. Here's what's actually going wrong. Your AI chats are a broken.You probably have one chat for marketing, one for content, one for random questions. None of them talk to each other. That's like running a business where marketing and sales never meet, and nobody remembers what was decided last week. No employee could perform in that company. Neither can Claude. The handbook nobody gave it.Think about your best hire. They weren't great on day one. They got great because someone handed them context: who you are, who your customers are, how you like things done. Claude never got that handbook from you. So every chat starts from zero, sounds like a robot, and produces generic work you have to redo. The fix is not better prompts. It's giving Claude the same onboarding you'd give an employee. Once I did that, Claude stopped answering questions and started finishing work. I recorded the exact 5-step setup I use, built for owners with zero technical background: Watch the full Claude Cowork setup here: Talk soon, |

Hey Reader, People keep asking me about open source models, especially now with GLM 5.2. But here's how I think about them: If you think hiring a pro is expensive, try an amateur.

So you don't have to pay for every question you ask throughout the day. Second, they're also private. Your data never leaves your machine. A local...
Hey Reader, I used to spend 30 minutes to an hour every single day logging into Instagram, Google Analytics, and half a dozen other tools just to see how my business was doing. And I'm literally an engineer with 25+ years of experience. That's 10 hours a week of pure busy work. Here's the exact system I built to get those hours back. You are the bridge. That's the problem. Every morning you log into tool A, look at a number, and carry it in your head to tool B. You're a human bridge between...
Hey Reader, I ignored the best version of Claude for 6 months. And I'm the guy with 25+ years of engineering experience. If I got this wrong, the odds you're using the right one are not great. Here's the mistake, and why fixing it gave me back 10 hours a week. The room without a phone. Most business owners use Claude in the browser, like ChatGPT with better vibes. It answers questions well, and it would be easy to think that that's all you need. But that's like hiring a brilliant PA and...
