Wait a minute. We didn’t save money by adding AI. We just added an expense.
Now we have to pay for employees AND AI.

Email: erich@erichstauffer.comReach out to relevant bloggers to offer to do a guest blog post and to relevant podcasters to get interviewed. Some podcasters will charge you to be interviewed.
Consider starting your own podcast about working out. It's actually not much harder than recording MP3s, publishing a RSS feed, and applying to iTunes.
Possible cause: I've been listening to a lot of business podcasts lately (at least 2 hours worth a day) and I've found myself comparing myself to other people who are more successful than me. I realize (from listening to podcasts) that this is a bad thing to do and I realize that success is relative, but it's still happening.
I tried chilling out on purpose. In other words, I purposefully started playing. I chose to start playing Minecraft with my kids. I also joined the YMCA and started going swimming there after work. Finally, I have cut down on the number of podcasts I listen to and started listening to music (on CD). I do not listen to the news as it gets me down.
1. "The Baby Effect" - a term coined by John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur on Fire, a 7-day a week business podcast that interviews entrepreneurs, which evolved from John Lee noticing that successful launches tended to take 9 months from first action to the point of sustainability. He called it that because it usually coincided with the founder finding out they had a baby coming, but it also worked that way for BeardBrand, for example.
2. Most of the "successful" interviewees on podcasts state they started back in 2009, so 5 years later is now (2014). 5 years seems to be the point at which entrepreneurs have been steady long enough that they start to either a) look for the next thing or b) start sharing with other people what they know. It's also a sign that the 'wave' that they were currently riding (their business model) may have crested and they are in search of the next thing, hoping for a second win(d).
I especially like the last line:

A) Instead of driving straight home, stop at a park and walk around. B) If you are the first person to leave, be the last person to leave. C) If you always take the same streets home, purposefully take a different path.
Here's another habit you could change: the ride to work:
A) Instead of driving to work, see if there is a way to carpool, walk, or ride a bike to work. B) Wake up one hour earlier than normal and be the first person in a local coffee shop in the morning. C) Instead of listening to the radio or music, find a podcast or sit in silence.
The idea behind making slight changes to your daily habit actions is that they can cause unknown, unintended, changes (like the butterfly effect) that will lead you down a different path than the one you're on now. In addition to small changes in your habit actions, here are some pretty standard things you can do to "have a life" and "make friends."
1) Be thankful for the life you already have. 2) When someone asks you to do something you wouldn't normally do, consider doing it this time. 3) Join a local church. 4) Find a local meetup on meetup.com. 5) Start a new habit and do something consistently to see who else is doing that same thing consistently. Talk to that person. 6) Help someone younger than you or older than you without expecting to get paid. 7) Look for ways to volunteer. 8) Join a coworking facility. 9) Consistently visit a bar or coffee shop at a certain time. 10) Be the friend you want to have - invite other people to lunch with you, tell other people what you are doing and invite them to join you, throw a party at your house or apartment, rent out a gym and play some dodgeball, join a softball or kickball league, play a pick-up basketball game at the local park.
To do the things you're not doing now, you're going to have to do the things you're not doing now. That means taking a different path through life, doing things a little bit differently, going places you normally don't go, doing things you normally don't do - and being consistent about it.
He should be praised not only for his accomplishments, but his commitment and grit. It's not easy to stick with something for so long like he has and continue to improve it over time.
The second step is always easier than the first. It's just that even the first step is always the second step to someone else's first (and second) steps.
