You don't need a bigger AI budget. You need a better first question.
Most business owners I talk to have already been burned. An AI tool that sounded perfect in the demo. A consultant who disappeared after the invoice. A subscription that sits unused at $200/month while your team still does everything manually.
That's not a technology problem. That's a sequencing problem.
Billy Ramirez at Fish Shop figured something out that most operators miss. He didn't ask "what AI can we use?" He asked "what's slowing us down right now?" Then he found technology to fix that specific thing. One problem. One solution. Measurable result. That's it.
The AI companies won't tell you this because it's bad for sales. The gurus won't tell you because simple doesn't sell seminars. But a targeted fix to one real operational bottleneck will do more for your business than a $30K platform nobody adopts.
This week, pick the one task your team complains about most. Just one. That's your AI starting point.
No systems to rip apart. No code to learn. Just one honest problem matched to one practical tool.
What's the AI purchase you regret most — and what did the pitch promise that reality didn't deliver?
