My Why
Ever since I read about the dot com boom and the various entrepreneurs and companies that made good use of the opportunity, I have always wished I was a part of that. Knowing that I missed that opportunity through no fault of my own (I was a young African who didn't know about these things until I came of age).
I have since wished for another opportunity, and now the AI revolution is here. I have seen several people who are taking advantage of this revolution, and I can't continue to sit on the fence.
Because of the pace, a lot of opportunity is passing by right now, and I know that in the next 5-10 years, many people will also regret not taking action. I would rather choose to take action and regret my actions than regret doing nothing at all.
The Challenge
On that note, I have decided to start this AI build challenge where I am going to try and build as many products as I possibly can and market them to build wealth under my brand Bozoma Labs - my lab from which I ship products.
What I'll Be Building
I'm primarily focused on building micro-SaaS tools that solve real problems, but I'll also be packaging my knowledge into digital products. As both a pharmacist and software engineer, I bring a unique perspective that I plan to leverage throughout this journey.
I'll be relying heavily on vibe coding and taking full advantage of AI tools available. My goal is to become one of the best vibe coders in the world because I believe this will be incredibly valuable in the future.
My Hypotheses
Some people are making money from building products with the help of AI, and I can do it too
AI has leveled the playing field for many things, and the people who take advantage of it will gain the benefits
It is possible to leverage my unique experiences and skills to build wealth during this time
It is easy to give up, so doing this publicly will help me stay consistent
The Goals & Process
I want to set realistic goals and document the process of achieving all these goals one after the other.
I will start with a $1.00 goal, then anytime after achieving the goal, I will trigger a new goal which will be 10 times the current goal. So, the next goal after the $1.00 goal will be $10.00, then $100.00, then $1,000.00, and so on.
I'm not forcing myself into strict timelines - I'm committed to doing my best and documenting the journey rather than rushing the process. I am not giving up until I reach each goal.
Documentation & Updates
I will provide daily updates or as regular as possible through:
This blog (powered by Hashnode headless CMS and connected to bozomalabs.com/blog)
My personal YouTube channel
X (formerly Twitter) updates using #AIBuildChallenge
I'll be documenting everything - the wins, the failures, the messy middle parts, and the lessons learned. This isn't going to be a highlight reel. You'll see the real journey with all its ups and downs because that's where the real learning happens.
Join Me
I invite anyone out there who is interested to also join in on the challenge. Here's how you can follow along and participate:
Follow the journey: Subscribe to the newsletter on this blog for regular updates
Join the conversation: Follow along on X (Twitter) using #AIBuildChallenge
Start your own challenge: Share your own AI building goals and document both your successes AND failures - this is crucial
Connect with me: Let's support each other through the tough moments and celebrate the wins
This isn't just about me building products and making money. It's about proving that regular people like us can take advantage of this AI moment if we're willing to put in the work and be honest about the process.
Ready to build? Let's go!
