Top Optimus member outcomes (selected verbatim quotes)
“I'm originally from India. I've been in the IT industry for about 23 years. I started my business — quit my job — back in 2020. My business partner was my very first client, and we started a mastermind for Indian IT leaders living in the US. Until six months ago, the entire business was through word of mouth. About six months ago we started running Facebook ads. Fast forward, in six months we got about 60 clients through Facebook ads, price point about $8,000. We're at about $80,000 a month.”

“Since I've been back, I've gotten 13 different new automations done that have saved 31 hours of overall team time. I've only gotten through three team members so far. I've got 20 team members that are gonna be interviewing to create this list out. By the time I'm done, I'm gonna be able to save 3, 4, 5 employees worth of time each week.”
— Joe, Optimus member
“I spent about five hours this past week rebuilding the diet tracker in my member area. It's probably 10 times what it had before, and I'm already about a third of the way through — in five hours. About a year and a half ago, I got quotes to redo this for 80 to 100K. And I'm already a third of the way through the project in five hours.”
— Chris C, Optimus member
“I finished a project I'm grateful for. It took two big, long days — me and an agent who deployed three sub-agents — but we rebuilt a 165-page website from WordPress to HTML. Made it faster, cleaned up a lot of the SEO issues, and brought over all the internal and external links. I'm 100% off WordPress now.”
— Glen, Optimus member
“The last two days, we've been using Claude to clean up some really bad malware that got on three of our client sites. With malware, it's black and white — right or wrong. Claude did it so fast that I kept asking, "Did you check all the files?" Two months ago when I went through this with my managed WordPress hosting company, they told me right from the start, "You're in our queue, it's going to be a two-week process" — and sure enough it was. This time it took me a day and a half, and it found stuff that was incredible.”
— Hubert, Optimus member
“What took me four hours would take me about 15 minutes using this automation tool that I had created. Four hours to 15 minutes, same listing, same quality — 16 times faster. So now I'm making even more money and I'm doing it a whole lot faster. I went from 2,000 to 20,000, and I did 60,000 a year in my best year before I shut it down. I had been laid off from my engineering job the year before, and there were no engineering jobs for people like me. So that paid my mortgage and kept me going.”
— Jon, Optimus member
“I just closed my first hundred-K client, full pay. The money landed. This is my big donor — she's giving me half a million dollars over two years. The sort of mastermind that we outlined when we did our VIP session in Arizona, that's now happening. So I'm launching my hundred-K mastermind. I've already got two people, and I want to close the other eight by next week.”
— Mona, Optimus member
“I used to get people on calls and talk about regular business. Then AI became a thing and I'd show 'em all the ways — bang, the cutting-edge stuff we're working on — and now I'm getting referrals I can't handle the volume of. I went from two weeks booked out to nine weeks booked out, and four weeks in, people were mad at me. They're like, 'I can't talk to you until May. What the shit.' They're trying to find a hole in my calendar somewhere. It's kind of blown up my world in a good way.”
— Jim, Optimus member
