40% of people showing up to free AI workshops are small business owners.
Not tech bros. Not startups. Regular business owners trying to figure out where AI actually fits.
You're not behind. You're exactly where most people are.
If you've already paid for an AI tool that's sitting unused, that's not a failure of judgment. That's what happens when the pitch is bigger than the plan. The tool wasn't wrong — the starting point was.
Here's what those Birmingham workshops are getting right: they're starting with the basics. Not the flashy stuff. Just one problem, one tool, one result. That's the whole game in the beginning.
The biggest insight from AI rollouts that actually stick? They start with a task someone already hates doing. Not a transformation. A task. Think about the one thing your team does repeatedly that wastes an hour a day. That's your starting point — not a $20K platform, not a six-month overhaul.
Find that task. Test one tool against it. Measure the time saved in 30 days.
That's a real first win. And it costs almost nothing to try.
What's the AI tool you bought that nobody ended up using — and what was the promise that sold you on it?
