Best case scenario, only 1 in 300 businesses is spending on agents. And honestly? That data is insane.
Here's what the numbers actually show:
If we treat $900 as agentic and apply that rate to 270 million adults, we get 270M x 4.5% x 1%, which equals about 121,000 people. And if we assume every top 1%er owns a business, here's what that means:
Every single one of those assumptions is HIGH.
You can nitpick the math all you want. But the bottom line is this: find a problem many businesses face, learn how AI can either do it BETTER or CHEAPER at the same quality, and build a simple implementation workflow.
And you will make a LOT of money. If you want to see what that looks like in practice, check out how Minh Nguyen earns $10K per month automating directories with AI.
When less than 1% of businesses are using something that genuinely works, you're looking at the ground floor. The adoption curve hasn't even started to steepen yet.
Most businesses don't know what's possible. They're not ignoring AI on purpose. They just haven't seen a clear path from where they are to where they could be.
Be the person who shows them that path.
