Hi there,

Quick update about this community's new direction.

I'm Keith Griggs, and I've recently taken over as organiser of this group. You might know me from other London entrepreneur Meetups, or from LinkedIn where I share AI and automation strategies for online businesses.

A BIT ABOUT ME

I spent 25 years as a CFO and high ranking accountant at various large companies (including the European holding company for Canon) before pivoting to help entrepreneurs build profitable, scalable businesses using modern automation tools.

Here's the thing: I tried eCommerce myself. Failed at it. Hard.

Then I discovered something better for my skills: helping businesses automate with AI. Better margins, no inventory, skills that compound.

I'm not here to tell you eCommerce is wrong. I'm here to help you find what's RIGHT for you.

WHAT'S CHANGING

This group is now "London eCommerce & Online Business Builders" because we're here to:

- Build profitable online businesses (whatever model works for YOU)
- Have honest conversations about what's working and what isn't
- Learn from people who've failed and found what works
- Connect with other Builders in the trenches

WHAT'S NEXT

Monthly workshops on practical strategies. First one coming soon:

"How to Replace Yourself with 100 AI Employees" (free, live on Zoom)

I'll announce the date this week.

QUICK FAVOUR

Hit reply: What's your biggest challenge in building your online business?

I read every reply and use it to create content that serves you.

Let's build something valuable together.

Cheers,
Keith
