The big consulting firms just quietly admitted something important.
McKinsey. Deloitte. Accenture. They're shrinking their project teams and using AI to handle the repetitive work. Not replacing experts — replacing the busywork those experts used to bill you for.
That's worth sitting with.
You don't need a $40K consulting engagement to do what they're doing internally. The same principle applies to your business: find the repetitive task your team does every single week, the one that eats hours and produces zero strategic value, and that's your first AI target.
Not your whole operation. Not a platform overhaul. One task.
Maybe it's summarizing sales calls. Drafting client emails. Pulling weekly reports. These are solved problems with tools that cost less than your current coffee budget — and they work without anyone learning to code or changing how the rest of your business runs.
The firms charging you $500/hour figured this out. Now you know what they know.
Start with one repeatable task this week. Time how long it currently takes. Then test one tool against it. That's a real pilot — not a $200/month subscription your team ignores.
What's the one task in your business that feels too small to fix but quietly wastes the most time?
