Funny Enough.

Kamaya Johnson started giving value away with nothing expected back. Then she noticed she was on track for her biggest week yet, and the tool she’d built without code was turning into a real app.

Funny enough I’m on track to have a $5k week pushing for my first $10k month!”

Kamaya Johnson, in her post to Andrew

Funny enough.

That’s how Kamaya Johnson described it. Like it had surprised her.

But look at the sentence that comes right before it.

Giving first

Kamaya runs a lead generation agency. She’d been coming to Andrew’s Fast-Track calls, and she wrote down her two biggest takeaways.

The first one had nothing to do with tools.

"I’ve become a better business owner because by really focusing on my offer, I’ve been able to provide value to someone upfront without expectation of reciprocity."

Read that again.

She got clear on her offer. Once it was clear, she could give real value to people before they paid her anything. And she didn’t keep score.

Then, funny enough, she found herself on track for a $5,000 week, pushing for her first $10,000 month.

It isn’t really that funny.

When you know exactly what you offer, giving some of it away first stops feeling risky. It starts working like a sample. People get a taste of the result and want the rest.

A lot of business owners have this backwards. They hold everything back until someone pays, and then wonder why nobody does.

Kamaya flipped it.

The tool

Her second takeaway was about AI.

She’d built a tool in Lovable, an app builder you can use without writing code. It became Deducty.

The first version shipped overnight. It was a lead magnet, and it started bringing in leads on its own.

Then it got bigger than a lead magnet.

"My tool I created in lovable is actually getting completed this month with my new software engineer and entered in a contest."

Think about that sequence. A business owner who doesn’t write code builds a working tool. It pulls in leads. Then she brings on a software engineer to finish it, and enters it in a contest.

And it wasn’t only the app. AI had changed how fast she could move on everything.

"You’ve helped me tremendously learn about new ai tools that have LITERALLY helped me take tasks and projects that would have taken me weeks or months into days."

Weeks or months, into days.

Her capitals, not ours.

The testimonial she was saving

There’s one more line in Kamaya’s post. It might be the best one.

Kamaya Johnson's post: "Being on the Fast-Track Calls My 2 Big Takeaways: 1. I've become a better business owner because by really focusing on my offer, I've been able to provide value to someone upfront without expectation of reciprocity. Funny enough I'm on track to have a $5k week pushing for my first $10k month! 2. I've really become more comfortable with AI tools that my tool I created in lovable is actually getting completed this month with my new software engineer and entered in a contest. You've helped me tremendously learn about new ai tools that have LITERALLY helped me take tasks and projects that would have taken me weeks or months into days. I have NOT forgotten about giving you a video testimonial. I want my app to be done to give you my best as you always give me yours. @Andrew Naegele"

"I have NOT forgotten about giving you a video testimonial. I want my app to be done to give you my best as you always give me yours."

She could have recorded a quick video and been done with it.

She didn’t want to.

She wanted to wait until she had the finished app to show for it.

Which is the same lesson from her first takeaway, pointed back at Andrew.

Give real value. Give it fully. Don’t hand someone less than your best.

She’d seen Andrew give her his best every time.

And she was planning to return the favor.
