AI ROADMAP 2026

A Step-by-Step Guide to Working Smarter, Not Harder


This roadmap gives you back 15-20 hours a month while building the systems you need to hit $55K. We're not adding complexity—we're consolidating your tools into four AI assistants that work like a support team, so you can get back to the creative work you love.

Executive Summary

What We're Building

Your email metrics are exceptional (50%+ opens, 13% clicks), but you're stretched thin. This plan addresses both the capacity problem and the conversion opportunity by implementing AI-powered systems across four areas: operations, content, growth, and analytics.

    • Strong brand positioning around "ease"

    • Low member churn

    • Comfortable with AI tools

    • Growing YouTube presence

    • Sole operator—no delegation

    • Podcast production takes 6-7 hours

    • Scattered data, no unified dashboard

    • Inconsistent sales asks

    • Social media feels like a chore

    • Content repurposing (1 → many)

    • Paid speaking circuit

    • Premium Academy tier

    • Member-facing AI tools (Year 2)

    • Systematized summit production

    • Burnout from doing everything

    • Filling saved time with more work

    • Losing authentic voice in automation

    • Platform algorithm changes

Strategic Goals

The Four Objectives

1

Reclaim Your Time

Cut podcast production from 6-7 hours to under 2. Automate content distribution. Focus on creative work.

2

Build Your AI Team

Four custom GPTs handling operations, content, growth, and analytics—each trained on your voice and processes.

3

Know Your Numbers

A single dashboard with action triggers. When metrics cross thresholds, you'll know exactly what to do.

4

Grow Without Burning Out

50% visibility increase with strict time-protection rules. Three platforms max. Quality over quantity.

Implementation Plan

13-Month Timeline

  • Map your funnel. Find the leaks. Pick one focus area. 2-3 hours of analysis before building anything.


  • Content automation systems. Operations Helper (M2). Voice & Content Helper (M3). First pause week.

  • Growth Helper (M5). Numbers Helper (M7). Dashboard live. Speaking outreach begins. Second pause week.


  • Refine what's working. Remove what isn't. Plan Year 2. Consider member-facing AI tools.


Questions You Might Have

  • No. You have options. You can build them yourself using the Builder Guide (just need ChatGPT Plus at ~$20/month), or Sovereign+ can build them for you at $1,000 each ($3,500 for all four).

  • The full roadmap is 13 months, but you'll see results much sooner. By Month 3, you'll have your first two AI assistants running and your content systems automated.

  • Built-in breathing room. After major implementations (Months 3, 6, and 10), you take a week to get comfortable with what you've built before adding anything new. This prevents overwhelm.

  • Yes—if you train it properly. The Builder Guide explains exactly which writing samples to upload and how to refine the voice. The more examples you give it, the better it gets.

  • Custom GPTs can be shared via link with anyone who has ChatGPT Plus. If you hire a VA later, they can use them too.

  • Year 2 options include member-facing AI tools (like a lesson plan assistant for your Academy members) and advanced automations. We'll revisit in Month 12.
