Where to start with AI in your business

Work out where AI actually fits in your business, and leave with a plan you'll use.

For small business owners and sole traders who are still doing the admin themselves and keep hearing about AI. You'll write down a real week of admin, sort every job into one of three piles, get set up on ChatGPT or Claude, and finish with your top three jobs and a 90-day plan. No tech background needed.

By the end, you’ll be able to…

Not theory. Things you can do on Monday morning, with your own business, using the worksheets from the course.

we’ll hold you to it
  • Explain in plain English what AI is great at (drafting, summarising, sorting) and where it won't help
  • Track a normal week of admin and put a real number on it in hours a year
  • Sort every admin job into one of three piles: Automate it, Let AI help, Keep it human
  • Set up ChatGPT or Claude, tell it about your business, and ask it for things so the answers sound like you
  • Decide whether an automation is worth it, and whether to do it yourself, buy a tool or get someone in
  • Use AI safely: what never to paste in, and what to always check
  • Pick your top three jobs and write a 90-day plan

Is it for you?

Honest answer, so you don’t waste your money.

Yes, if…
  • Yes, if you run a small business or work for yourself and still do most of the admin
  • Yes, if you keep hearing about AI but haven't worked out where it fits for you
  • Yes, if you'd rather fill in a worksheet and leave with a plan than watch a demo
Probably not, if…
  • Probably not, if you already use AI tools every day and want to build automations step by step
  • Probably not, if you're after a quick trick that does the work for you without checking

Good questions.

?

Do I need to be good with tech?

No. It's written for business owners, not techies. If you can send an email, you can do this course.

?

Which AI tool do I need?

ChatGPT or Claude. Either is fine, and you can start on the free plan. Upgrade only when you keep hitting the limits.

?

What do I actually come away with?

A workbook you've filled in: your week of admin written down with the hours it costs you, every job sorted into a pile, your top three jobs and a 90-day plan.

?

Does it cover building automations?

It helps you decide which jobs are worth automating and how to get them done. Building them step by step is what the Claude and Make courses are for.
