What is the major mindset shift we need to make to succeed in 2026?
Chad's vision for 2026 is for all of us to work less and perfect what we already have so that our businesses are clean, professional, and ready for a massive payday.
We are officially moving away from the "Guru way" of chasing every new technical trend or software launch that hits the market.
Instead of building new cars every week, the focus is now on building a perfect highway for the tools you already own resulting in a more stable and approachable experience for everyone.
This shift means you stop being a "Marketer" who hunts for the next commission and start being a "Media Company Owner" who builds a long-term asset.
The Team is refining the entire Titanium suite so that you can finally step away from the tech and focus on high-level growth and community influence.
How does becoming a "Director" change your daily business routine?
Stepping into the role of a Director means you are no longer the one doing the work; you are guiding autonomous agents that handle the heavy lifting for you.
By training a bot to learn your business details, you create an employee that never calls in sick and proactively keeps your media company on track 24/7.
Instead of you spending hours guiding the AI, these agents will eventually guide you by providing reports on subscribers and drafting your content giving you the ability to work from anywhere.
The result is a total transition from a passive consumer to a producer who builds assets every single week without the manual hustle.
If you want to see how we are training these agents right now, remember it is not too late to join us in the Shadow Intensive at https://chadnicely.com/openclaw.
What is the ultimate goal of building this autonomous media empire?
The goal is to build a local publication with 20,000 to 25,000 subscribers that attracts a multi-million dollar buyout from major media groups.
Big players are already paying millions to own local data and community influence, and by dominating local search rankings, you become a nuisance they are forced to buy.
Instead of just having a hobby, you are building a value fortress—a real company that big players see as a prize to be won meaning your hard work leads to a legacy.
The 2029 exit strategy relies on building an asset that holds massive value independent of your daily hustle which allows you to retire with total confidence.
We are building this future together, and if you have any questions about the roadmap, make sure you are active in our community group!
