Even school districts are figuring out AI before most businesses do.

That should bother you a little.

Michigan just released a statewide AI planning framework for K-12 schools — not to buy every shiny tool at once, but to help districts identify specific problems first, then match the right solution to each one. Start small. Prove it works. Build from there.

Sound familiar? It should. That's exactly what most business owners needed before they bought that AI subscription nobody's using.

The insight here isn't about education. It's about process. The districts that succeed won't be the ones with the biggest budgets — they'll be the ones that asked "what specific problem are we solving?" before spending a dollar.

Most AI failures happen in the gap between purchase and purpose.

Here's your one action this week: Write down the single most repetitive, time-draining task in your business right now. One task. Don't overthink it. That becomes your AI starting point — not a strategy document, not a consultant pitch. Just one problem worth solving.

That's where your first real win lives.


What's the task you wish you could hand off tomorrow if you knew the right tool existed?
