    Frequently Asked Questions

    What if I’ve never worked with a business coach before?

    That’s exactly why this platform exists. You don’t need to know where to start — AICOO walks you through systems that have helped thousands of contractors build profitable, organized businesses. Just start asking questions.

    How do I get access to AICOO?

    Simple. Click Start for Free and you’ll get instant access. You can use AICOO up to two hours a month at no cost — or upgrade for unlimited access, community, and live coaching when you’re ready to level up.

    Where do I go if I want more than just the free version?

    If you want accountability, connection, and faster growth, join the X or X. You’ll get community access, live coaching, and the support you need to implement what AICOO teaches.

    When does the group coaching happen?

    Live sessions are held regularly and available for replay. You’ll get reminders, schedules, and resources as soon as you join the X.

    Can I cancel or upgrade anytime?

    Yes. No contracts, no pressure. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time — your access adjusts instantly.

    Who is AICOO built for?

    Contractors who want to run their businesses like pros. Whether you’re a one-person crew or managing a growing team, AICOO gives you systems and answers tailored to the contracting world.

    What if I already have a business coach?

    AICOO is the perfect supplement. Use it for day-to-day questions, pricing systems, and operations — then bring those insights into your existing coaching or management process.

    How is this different from watching videos or reading blogs?

    AICOO gives you personalized answers based on proven systems — not generic advice. And when you join the community or coaching programs, you’ll turn that knowledge into real results through accountability and support.

    What if I’m not ready for coaching yet?

    No problem. Start with the free version of AICOO. You’ll get instant access to tools, systems, and answers you can use today. When you’re ready to go deeper, the community and coaching options will be waiting.

    Who’s behind all of this?

    I am — Shawn Van Dyke. I built AICOO using the same frameworks and lessons I’ve taught to contractors across the country for years. This is the next evolution of that mission: to make proven systems available to everyone.
