You think AI is just a flashy gimmick?
“Look at this! My phone can identify cat breeds!”
Think again.
You’re missing the point – and as an entrepreneur that means you are getting left behind.
Remember 10 years ago when having a website was a business’s competitive advantage?
The lawyer with a searchable site crushed, while those relying on bus stop benches were left scrambling.
Now?
The first thing you do as a business is get a website.
It’s not an option – it’s an imperative.
GUESS WHAT
That’s exactly where AI and business automation are headed.
If you don’t adapt, you’ll be left behind faster than you can say “But I’ve always done it this way!”
Your competitors?
You can bet they’re diving headfirst into the AI pool.
Automating their marketing, streamlining their operations, and serving up personalized experiences that were previously reserved for the well-funded fortune 500.
But you?
You’re still trying to keep track of everything in a ratty notebook, files on your desktop … Or for some reason think that using Notion or Google Docs makes you tech-enabled.
But sure, keep telling yourself it’s no big deal.
Keep pretending that AI is just a fad, a shiny object for the techie types.
And watch as your business slowly fades into irrelevance.
Imagine being a business owner 10-20 years ago and taking digital marketing seriously.
That decision would net you Hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS of dollars.
It is the same putting AI & automations into your business today.
In a few years, AI won’t be a nice-to-have.
It will be a must-have.
The businesses that don’t embrace it will be crushed by those that do.
The good news?
You still have time to get on board.
You still have a chance to automate your processes, harness your data, and create experiences that make your customers’ jaws drop.
But you need to start NOW.
You need to educate yourself, invest in the right tools, and start weaving AI into every fiber of your business.
Because if you wait until it’s the norm, until it’s just another cost of doing business, you’ve already lost.
So, what’s it going to be, entrepreneurs
Will you cling to the past and watch your business wither?
Or will you embrace the future?
