When a college puts AI in its strategic plan, business owners ask me: "Should I be doing that too?"

Here's the honest answer. Probably not in the same way.

You didn't buy that AI tool and watch it collect dust because you made a bad decision. You bought it because nobody helped you connect it to a real problem your team already has. That's not on you. That's a sales and implementation failure.

Here's what Northwestern Michigan College got right. They didn't buy AI first. They identified what they were trying to solve, then built around it. Strategy before software. That order matters more than any tool you could name.

Most business owners do it backwards. They hear about a tool, buy it, then try to find a use for it. That's why the $200/month goes to waste.

The one shift worth making this week: write down the single most repetitive task your team does that eats time but requires no real judgment. That's your starting point. Not an AI strategy. Just one task. One test. Thirty days.

What's the one AI tool or subscription you're paying for right now that your team has quietly stopped using?
