What You'll Discover In This Episode:
AI is everywhere you look these days. You communicate with it at many drive-thru’s, on social media, when you need directions or navigation support, when you shop or do research online, when you use streaming services, when you use your credit card, and when you give a direction to Siri, Alexa, or your smart home security system or thermostat.
Using AI as part of our everyday lives has improved convenience and efficiency in so many areas that I made it a goal to successfully integrate AI into my business no matter what it took. I figured if I became really good at incorporating AI into my business systems, my team members and myself could spend less time on recurring tasks that AI could assist with and more time working in our zones of genius. Despite my initial hesitations, fears, and frustrations, I kept pressing onward, confident that the resulting rewards would far outweigh the initial time investment, overwhelm, and mental anguish of integrating AI into my business.
Sure, the necessary trial and error was painstaking at times. Sure, the learning curve has a steeper trajectory than I even imagined. But, as I continue making major strides, it is becoming more clear that the potential positive impacts it will have on my business are too significant to ignore. The light at the end of the tunnel that is growing brighter every day will make my journey with AI ultimately rewarding.
Whether you are hesitant to try AI tools, feel overwhelmed after dabbling with it, or have fully integrated it into your business but haven’t seen the results you were hoping for, I strongly believe AI is something worth pursuing for your business.
AI integration might seem intimidating now, but remember that every business evolution starts with a single step. The key is to begin where you are, with the tools you have access to right now... Are you ready to take that first step or perhaps take a second, more informed stab at it?
In this episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I dive into my real, unfiltered experience integrating AI into my business, pulling back the curtain on the hesitations I had to overcome, the key lessons I learned, and the big benefits I am looking forward to as I polish my AI systems.
