Frequently Asked Questions
What should small business owners do when AI changes fast?
Start with the tasks in your business that are most repetitive or time-intensive. Those are your first targets for AI. Don't try to automate everything at once — pick one problem, solve it, then move to the next.
How do I build an AI strategy for my small business?
A good AI strategy starts with your biggest pain points, not the newest tools. Identify where time and money are being wasted, then match AI solutions to those specific problems. This episode walks through the approach step by step.
I'm overwhelmed by AI. How do I even start?
Pick one thing. One task you hate doing or one process that slows you down. Use a tool like OpenClaw or ChatGPT to tackle just that. Success on a small win builds confidence for the next step. Michael explains how he started.
