3 Automation Lessons I Learned from Sam Altman

Sam Altman thinks in systems, not tasks. Studying his approach pushed me to rethink how I build automation — and the results changed everything.

1. 🚀 Think exponential, not linear

I used to stack workflows one by one.

Now I design them to compound.

The result? 30+ hours saved every week.

2. ⚡ Bend reality with automation

Most people accept “business is hard work.”

Every workflow I build pushes back on that belief — and shifts what’s possible.

3. 🎯 Build for obsession, not approval

Instead of copying trends, I built CAL around problems I cared about.

That’s why paying customers came within weeks.

Altman’s reminder: “Define success by work that’s important to you.”

For me, that’s freeing entrepreneurs from grunt work with automations that run 24/7.
