What does it actually cost a small business to ignore AI? Frank does the math — and the number is $70,000+ per year. This quick hit puts real dollar amounts on the time tax, the money bleed, and the competitive gap that grows wider every day you wait.

In this episode:

- The time tax: 15-20 hours/week spent on tasks AI already handles better
- The math: $75/hour opportunity cost × 20 hours = $6,000/month walking out the door
- Why the CEO doing data entry is the most expensive data entry clerk in the building
- The competitive gap: 37% of small businesses already use AI (up from 12% two years ago)
- Speed wins: the company that quotes in 10 minutes beats the one that quotes next morning
- McKinsey data: 15-25% revenue increases within the first year of AI adoption

The cost to start? $20/month. The cost to wait? $70,000/year. The math is not complicated.
