### 📊 RETURN ON INVESTMENT

If you were to hire agencies for what you'll build:

• Website design and development: $2,000-5,000
• Video content creation (2-3 videos): $1,000-5,000
• Business automation setup: $1,000-2,500
• Expert consultation: $1,000 - 2,000

Total agency cost: $5,000-14,5000
Bootcamp investment: $449-500
But here's the real value: You don't just get these assets—you gain the skills to keep building, iterating, and creating new solutions for your business indefinitely. That's worth far more than any one-time deliverable

### 👥 WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This bootcamp is perfect for:

• Small business owners (1-10 employees) wanting competitive advantage
• Solopreneurs & freelancers needing to multiply their output
• Startup founders (pre-launch or early stage) building lean and smart
• Working professionals with side businesses maximizing limited time
• Service professionals (coaches, consultants, trades) going digital

No technical skills, coding experience, or AI knowledge required. WSTI provides pre-configured team laptops with all premium AI tool licenses included, so you don't need to bring your own device or pay for any subscriptions during the bootcamp.

#### You do need:

✅ Commitment to attend sessions and implement
✅ Willingness to experiment and learn in a team
✅ Readiness to collaborate with a learning partner
If you've been saying "I should really learn AI" but haven't taken action—this is your accountability system.

## ✨ WHAT YOU'LL BUILD (Not Just Learn!)

This isn't a typical workshop where you leave with notes and good intentions. You'll leave with working business assets:

### By the End of 4 Weeks:

You won't just know how to use AI. You'll have AI working FOR your business.
✅ Core AI skills mastered - Prompt engineering techniques that make AI 10x more effective for your business needs
✅ Live website or app - Your business idea launched online (not a generic template—built for YOUR specific concept)
✅ Video content library - 2-3 marketing videos created and ready to post on social media
✅ Automated workflows running - At least 1-2 business processes automated to save 3-5+ hours per week
