The 15k Challenge History

Where it all began...

Roughly 20 years ago I was a cocky 25/26 year old guy who had sold his 23 web sites for an inordinate stash of cash. I met

Ed Dale

who many of you know, and we became friends.

… and I helped run the Thirty Day Challenge.

But just before all that happened I started something called The 15k Challenge.

Like I said above, I was in my mid 20’s, the Internet was ground-breaking, and one night, in a pub, I told my friends I could make 15k in a single month, starting from scratch.

That was the 15k Challenge.

Looking back on it all now I am kind of embarrassed, but at the same time proud, I was so cock-sure that I could do it, and as a 52 year old man now I have been questioning is it possible again?

Most of the people here who subscribe to The Raine Report have supported me since day-one and I really appreciate that.

But… I really wanted to see if this was possible again.

Can you really build a ‘lifestyle’ business from scratch, with no list, no reputation, no social media clout, nothing… \and no cash.

… and I thought about it for months.

• Could I do it again?

• Could I teach it?

• Do I really have the motivation to pull this off?

And quite frankly I wasn’t sure…

But this year, AI hit hard. You don’t need a team of people to help you, You don’t need a graphic designer to create a landing page, you don’t need a copywriter to create your sales page, you don’t even need to outsource any kind of content creation.

AI can do everything.

So that got me thinking… can I build a business from scratch where the only people I hire are AI bots?’

Can I build a real business that generates $5k a month without ever having to hire a real person? Can I run this on my own without ever having to ask anyone for help?

Can AI build and run a real business for me?

… I think so.

Over the next week I am going to share with you what I think The Challenge 2025 is about. I am still pulling together ideas, but if this is something you want to see then please like this post so that I know you are interested…
