You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month vanished quietly into the "we'll revisit this" folder.
You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. You were sold a solution before anyone defined the problem.
Here's what's actually interesting: Connecticut just passed legislation specifically designed to protect small business owners navigating AI adoption. Lawmakers are now paying attention to the gap between AI hype and real-world business impact. That shift matters.

The smartest move right now isn't finding the best AI tool. It's identifying your one most repetitive, time-draining task — the thing your team does manually every week without fail. That's your starting point. One problem. One test. Thirty days.
You don't need a consultant. You don't need to overhaul anything. You just need a specific problem worth solving, not a platform worth exploring.
What's the one task in your business that eats the most time and could realistically run without a human hand-holding it every step?
