Five letters,the whole route of the programme.

Each letter is a step, and each step is a few classes. Five words are all you need to remember.

The cost of waiting

A client messaged at seven in the evening.Reply, or do the work?

  • Writing bids until midnight, delivering in the morning.
  • One forgotten update; the review dropped to three stars.
  • Every finished job means searching from zero again.

A worked example: if one of these fits your business, what does a year of waiting cost?

  1. 112 classes, each with a ৳10 lakh worked example: some the value of time, some cost saved, some extra profit
  2. 2If one of them fits your business: ≈ ৳10 lakh a year
  3. 3Divide by 365: ≈ ৳2,740 a day

One worked example, per day

≈ ৳2,740

One worked example, per year

≈ ৳10 lakh

365 days

The twelve examples come from twelve kinds of business; added up they make ৳1.2 crore, but that is nobody’s own figure. The numbers are assumed, not a promise of income. Every example is open below: put in your own numbers.

Until Day Zero

A foundation + seven levels

The seven levels of AI.Which one are you stuck on?

Each level is one layer. Scroll, and they unlock one by one.

  1. BaseSECOND BRAINThe foundation: a second brain

    Your kind of work, your rate, your rules: all in your head?

    Every client starts from scratch.

    Write your working rules down once; AI reads them and picks up the work.

    In Sabbir’s companiesEvery dayAll four companies

    Every project has one handoff file; a new agent reads it and gets to work.

  2. A freelancer writing a proposal at a home desk at night
    L1ASKAsking

    Proposals and replies to buyers: still all by hand?

    The time spent writing bids is working time.

    AI drafts the proposal; the last word is yours.

    In Sabbir’s companies06:00PretendMind

    One AI makes two ads, another checks them; Sabbir picks the one that goes out.

  3. A freelancer scanning job listings in a co-working café
    L2WEBWeb

    How many hours a day go to finding new work?

    Time spent searching pushes delivery back.

    An agent finds and filters the jobs; you bid.

    In Sabbir’s companies05:45EndingScene

    An agent hunts for tenders; by 7 a Bangla PDF is waiting.

  4. A designer building a template on a large monitor
    L3COMPUTERComputer

    How many tool subscriptions are running?

    Bills in dollars, rules theirs.

    Build your own tools, no coding needed.

    A client says the idea out loud; a tool we built writes the proposal in Bangla and English.

  5. Reading a client message on a balcony at sunrise
    L4WHATSAPPRun it from chat

    Client updates and invoices: sent by hand?

    One forgotten update, one lost client.

    Updates, reminders, invoices: from one chat, by themselves.

    In Sabbir’s companies08:30PretendMind

    An agent reads today’s numbers and sends a short brief to Sabbir’s WhatsApp.

  6. A freelancer explaining work to an assistant in a small studio
    L5TEAMTeam

    When work grows, who do you give it to?

    Alone, so you can’t take on more than a limit.

    An agent and one assistant on one playbook: you are a small agency.

    In Sabbir’s companies08:30 to 18:00Learning Bangladesh

    In the sales group, a disclosed AI assistant follows up four times a day.

  7. A freelancer on a video call with an overseas client at night

    When did you last check in with an old client?

    Job over, relationship over.

    Put AI to work in your business

    1. 01FRI 13 NOVFOUNDATIONStop Doing, Start Directing

      Drop the habit of doing it all yourself; explain the work and have it done.

      The agentic mindset: you direct, agents execute.

      In the class

      • Asking AI versus having AI do the work: where exactly the difference lies
      • Your own week, audited: what only you should do, and what can go
      • How a working day runs from one WhatsApp, shown live

      You leave with

      Your time audit, and the first three jobs an agent takes over from now on.

      The ৳10 lakh worked example

      Value of time · the founder’s hours

      2 hours a day × 26 days × 12 months × ৳1,600 an hour ≈ ৳10 lakh. (৳1,600 is the hourly value of an owner earning ৳40 lakh a year.)

      • And the rule for what AI never gets to see

      You leave with

      A ten-page company pack, in Drive and as files; from class 6 an agent reads it.

      The ৳10 lakh worked example

      Cost saved · mistakes

      1 fewer mistake a day (wrong price, wrong quote, wrong delivery) × 26 days × 12 months × ৳3,200 average loss ≈ ৳10 lakh.

    4. 04FRI 4 DECL1 ASKHand Off Ten Jobs

      Prompts and templates for the ten jobs you do most.

      The ৳10 lakh worked example

      Cost saved · design and content bills · brand or online shop

      The ৳10 lakh worked example

      Cost saved · due collection · distributor or wholesale

Beyond the classes

Three months of classes.Six months of never being alone.

Learning stops when the classes end, unless someone stays beside you. So four things come with the classes.

  • The founders' private WhatsApp community

    100+ founders in one group. Build together, become each other's customers, find partners. Nobody from outside gets in.

  • Sabbir Ahmed's second brain, 24 hours a day, 6 months

    Stuck anywhere? Write it in the group. It sees where you are and tells you the next step right away. It does not stop when the classes end.

  • 12 online support sessions

    They run after the 12 main classes. Bring whatever problem you have and solve it in the session.

  • A playbook made in your name

    Step by step, for your work and your level, in one book.

After you apply, your plan shows what each of these would cost on its own.

Questions

Questions?

  • I freelance alone. Isn’t this for business owners?

    You run a business too, a business of one. Proposals, delivery, follow-ups: all yours. Pick “I run a business” in the assessment, type “services or agency”.

  • Will clients mind if I use AI?

    AI drafts, you finish; you hold the quality. Where you say AI and where you don’t is also your call.

  • Can I do this if I’m not technical?

    Yes. Nobody teaches you to write code here; you learn to explain work to AI and to check what it did. If you get stuck there are the weeknight sessions, Sunday office hours and the three days in Cox’s Bazar.

  • How much time does it take each week?

    About 10 hours: the two-hour Friday class, one weeknight small-group session, and the rest hands-on in your own business. Class ends at 12:30 pm, before Jumma.

  • What is the fee, and what else will I pay for?

    Submit the assessment and you see the full fee with your plan; instalments are available, and so is a company invoice. If you can give fewer than 8 hours a week, we say so plainly: not now. On top of that, AI tools, a domain and ads come to roughly ৳25,000 to ৳45,000 over three months, all in your own accounts. Some tools bill in dollars, so you need a dollar card.

  • Who gets the bonus?

    Not an application alone. Places are counted in the order booking money arrives: whoever books first comes first. The first 30 get every Learning Bangladesh recorded course and every Shehzin ebook; numbers 31 to 50 get every recorded course. Both cover everything there now and everything still to come, for life.

  • Who pays for the Cox’s Bazar camp?

    The camp is at a five-star hotel in Cox’s Bazar. Which three days in December and the cost of stay are not final yet. Applicants hear first once they are, early enough to take leave. Meals at Day Zero and the showcase are included.

  • Is my business data safe with AI?

    In class three you set the rule for what AI may and may not see. Agents are never left to decide alone on money, customer data or deleting anything; you approve.

  • What if I miss a class, or live outside Dhaka?

    Recordings arrive within 24 hours. Every Friday class is online. Day Zero is at Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden and the showcase at Pan Pacific Sonargaon; both in person; outside Dhaka, block the two days early.

  • Will the ৳10 lakh figures hold for everyone?

    No. They are worked examples, not a promise of income. The cost of waiting is the same twelve examples, divided by 365. Each class shows its arithmetic; put in your own business’s numbers and see what it comes to for you.
