#174 Max: How to Make $1M with AI in 2026 – The Complete 4-Stage Blueprint

A 23-year-old is on track to make over $1M from his AI business this year, starting from zero. 💰 This isn't a theory; it's his exact, battle-tested 4-stage blueprint for building a 7-figure AI empire.

We’ll talk about:

• The complete, 4-stage progressive roadmap to a 7-figure AI business: Freelancing → Consulting → Agency → Teaching.
• Why jumping straight into building an "AI Agency" is a trap, and why you must start with Stage 1 (Freelancing with AI Modules) to build your foundation.
• A deep dive into each stage with its own actionable framework, like the BUILD Framework for freelancers and the SCAN Framework for consultants.
• A look at Stage 4 (Teaching)—the ultimate leverage model with the highest profit potential, where your expertise becomes a scalable, passive income stream.
• Plus, a "scorecard" for each of the 4 stages, rating its speed to money, ease for beginners, and income potential.
