Minha caçula, minha segundinha completou 2 anos! Hj paro e penso que um dia eu disse que era feliz e completa com uma filha só. Deus sabia do que a gente precisava e projetou a Linda perfeitinha assim: doce, chameguenta, arteira, gaiata, cheia de energia, dá oi pra td mundo na rua… é tanto amor, que o meu coração até dói! Justo eu, que um dia tive medo do meu amor de mãe ser insuficiente pra duas. Sabia de nada! Há dois anos meu amor só se multiplica 🤎

PS: pode ser a cara do papai, mas a simpatia e o molejo são da mamãe 😏 (trago prova no último vídeo) by @felipe_bentes

Most painters are incredible at their craft.

But they lose 60% of quotes because they’re too busy painting to follow up.

I get it. You’re on a job site. Paint in your hair. Phone’s in the truck.

Meanwhile, 3 other painters are calling that homeowner back.

Here’s what’s actually happening:

→ Homeowner calls 4 painters for quotes
→ 3 respond within 2 hours
→ You respond after your job (6+ hours later)
→ They’ve already narrowed it down
→ You never had a real shot

The math is brutal:
Average paint job quote: $3,000-5,000
Quotes you don’t follow up on: 2-4 per week
Lost revenue per month: $24,000-80,000

For most painters, that’s 40-50% of potential income just... gone.

Here’s what the successful painters do differently:

They have a system that handles:
✓ Instant responses to quote requests (under 2 minutes)
✓ Follow-ups every 24-48 hours automatically
✓ Rebooking conversations when timing changes
✓ Nurturing “thinking about it” prospects

You focus on painting.
The system focuses on closing.

If you’re a painter losing quotes because you’re too busy doing the work — DM me “QUOTE” and I’ll show you the system that changes everything.

Stop doing this manually.

Research shows responding to a lead within 1 minute
increases conversions by 391%.

The average business takes 47 hours.

My AI calls leads in under 60 seconds.

Most business owners are still:
→ Calling leads back hours later
→ Qualifying prospects themselves
→ Manually booking every meeting

Meanwhile leads go cold.
Revenue walks out the door.

Here’s what I built instead:

1️⃣ Lead fills form on my website
2️⃣ AI researches their business instantly
3️⃣ Sends me a full context summary
4️⃣ AI calls them in under 60 seconds
5️⃣ Qualifies them automatically
6️⃣ Books meeting into my calendar

Without me touching anything.
(Took me 10+ hours to learn. Now I build this in 3.)

Saves up to 10 hours every week.
Qualifies leads while you sleep.

DM me “AUTOMATE” and I’ll show you how this works
for your business.

Top Perth cafes lose $10K+ every month in catering revenue.

Average cafes? $5-8K.

Either way, that’s $60K-120K/year walking out the door.

After 3 years in hospitality here, I’ve seen this pattern everywhere:
→ Calls go unanswered after hours or when slammed
→ Email inquiries sit for 24-48 hours or more
→ Quotes get sent, but never followed up
→ Great clients never get re-engaged

Here’s the breakdown per missed opportunity:
- After-hours inquiry: $800-1,500 lost
- Slow email response: $1,200-2,500 lost
- No follow-up on quotes: $600-1,800 lost
- Lost repeat clients: $2,000-4,000/year per client

This happens 4-8 times per month for busy cafes.

Do the math. It adds up fast.

The solution to this exists. AI can:
✓ Answer phone calls
✓ Answer inquiries in under 2 minutes (24/7)
✓ Follow up automatically on quotes
✓ Re-engage past clients with catering offers
✓ Qualify leads before they hit your inbox

I build these systems for Perth cafes and restaurants.

Day 2 of building in public.

4am starts. Late night builds. This is the grind.

Big news.

I was a civil servant for 11 years in Brazil. And a lawyer for 5. Stable career. Comfortable life.

Then I moved to Australia with my family and started from scratch.

New country. New language. New beginning.

I worked 3 years in hospitality here in Perth. Then took a 9-5 office job to pay the bills.

But I couldn’t shake this feeling: I’m meant to build something.

So at 36, father of two, working full-time, I started learning AI automation.

Every night after my kids sleep, and every morning at 4am before the house wakes up, I’m building AI systems for Perth businesses:
→ AI receptionists that never miss a call
→ Systems that recover lost revenue 24/7
→ Automations that save business owners 10-20 hours/week

This account is changing.

I’m documenting the entire journey:
✓ Building AI automations in public
✓ Growing a business from zero
✓ Working 9-5 while grinding 4am and late nights
✓ Showing what’s possible without investors or a safety net

If you’re a Perth business owner losing money to missed calls, slow responses, or no follow-ups I’m building something for you.

Starting today, I’m sharing:
→ How I build these systems
→ The revenue opportunities most businesses miss
→ What works (and what doesn’t) when you’re starting from scratch

This is Day 1.

Let’s build.

Mais de 1 ano com pouquíssimo treino, zero agachamento pesado, e cá estamos de volta estreando minha mini home gym (mais um sonho realizado).
1,31x meu peso corporal = 100kgs.
Até que não tá tão mal pra quem está destreinado, mas isso é fruto de muito tempo dedicado ao longo de alguns anos. Agora bora buscar o famigerado 2x! 💪🏽

Ps.: Reza a lenda que quanto mais fundo vc agacha, mais pesado fica… 😉

Muita coisa se passou nesse último mês que fui pra Bsb sozinho! Primeira vez que fiquei longe da Lovinha (nunca tinha passado nem um dia sequer longe dela), dia dos pais (no Brasil)2, 1 ano de Austrália (no Brasil 😅). Esses dias não foram fáceis e, por reflexo, acabei entrando em um estado anestésico pra sustentar o rolê.
Mas são nesses momentos que grandes reflexões vêm à tona, e o que realmente importa grita por atenção.
Hoje, dia dos pais na Austrália, ao lado de quem mais importa, comemorando um ano de muito aprendizado e experiências incríveis.
Agora a meta é bem simples: aproveitar a benção de poder viver onde sempre sonhei, ao lado da família que construí, saboreando ao máximo cada fase de dona Lovinha, sem esquecer de mim no meio da correria louca do dia a dia.
Filhota, papai te ama demais, e ser seu pai tem sido a experiência mais incrível, gratificante e transformadora! ❤️❤️❤️ taken in With Love by @felipe_bentes

Eita! Vcs piscaram e já se passaram 7 meses desde que chegamos na Austrália! 7 meses realizando o nosso sonho de morar em um lugar maravilhoso como esse! E como foram intensos esses meses, muita coisa aconteceu, mas as mais importantes foram:
* Lovinha aprendeu a andar
* Lovinha foi no seu 1o show da vida, e que show (Jack Johnson)
* Evoluímos muito nosso inglês, mais do que esperávamos em tão pouco tempo.
* Nos reinventamos trabalhando em hospitalidade
* Thá trabalhou em dos restaurantes até agora, um muito chique (que serviu pra aprender e fazer as amizades mais próximas) e pro mais casual que ela está adorando
* Eu trabalhei em 5 cafés diferentes pra, no final, voltar pro primeiro (eu era feliz e não sabia 😅) agora como head barista ☕️
* Curtimos praias, pores do sol, mais praias e mais pores do sol (estamos criando uma peixinha)

Mas não viaja doido, a vida não é um conto de fadas e tb passamos por perrengues difíceis que preferimos não expor na época pra não deixar a família preocupada (já passou, agora tudo está fluindo como planejado 😉).

Enfim, nosso primeiro visto chegou ao fim, primeira fase concluída com sucesso!
Bora pra próxima! taken in Perth, Western Australia by @felipe_bentes
