Everyone told you to "just start with AI." So you did. And now you're paying for software nobody opens.

That's not a you problem. That's a terrible implementation problem.

Most small business owners I talk to aren't tech-averse. They're burn-averse. One bad purchase, one consultant who vanished after the invoice cleared — that's enough to make anyone cautious. You're not behind because you're slow. You're being careful with money you actually earned.

Here's what the AI noise misses: funding your first AI initiative matters as much as choosing the right tool. NYC small businesses now have access to zero-interest loans through a new partnership between the Comptroller's Office and Hebrew Free Loan Society. No interest means no penalty for a learning curve.

That changes the math. A small, interest-free pilot removes the pressure of needing a home run on your first swing. You test one workflow. You measure what changed. You decide from data, not demos.

This week, identify one repetitive task your team does manually three or more times a day. That single task is your AI starting point — nothing else. No overhaul required.

What stopped you from moving forward with AI this year — cost, trust, or not knowing where to begin?
