The biggest AI mistake isn't picking the wrong tool.
It's buying AI for the tool's sake — not the problem's sake.
LPL Financial just shared something worth paying attention to. They're not rolling out AI to impress clients or chase headlines. Their stated goal is simple: "prop the advisor up." Support the human doing the work. That's it.
Asset retention climbed to the mid-80s because advisors got better at their jobs — AI handled the background noise.
That's the model most business owners miss. The question isn't "which AI tool should we buy?" It's "what's the one task eating my team's time that shouldn't require human judgment?"
Answer that first. Then find the tool.
One practical place to start: spend 30 minutes this week asking your team what they copy, paste, or re-type on repeat. That single pattern is usually your first AI win — low risk, measurable, no systems overhaul required.
The companies winning with AI aren't the ones who spent the most. They're the ones who started smallest and proved something real.
What's one repetitive task in your business you wish you could just make disappear?
