You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. Now it sits there at $200/month, a quiet reminder that maybe this whole AI thing isn't for your business. You're not alone. Most business owners I talk to feel
You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. Now it sits there at $200/month, a quiet reminder that maybe this whole AI thing isn't for your business.
You're not alone. Most business owners I talk to feel exactly the same — smart enough to know AI matters, frustrated that nobody explains it in plain language.
Here's what's actually interesting right now. The SBA just announced $50 million in grant funding specifically for small U.S. manufacturers focused on workforce training and operational improvements. That's real money for real implementation — not theory, not demos, not a consultant's pitch deck.
The buried insight: the government is funding AI adoption through workforce training, not tech purchases. That means the path to your first AI win might be funded — if you frame it as a skills investment rather than a software expense.
One action you can take this week: visit sba.gov and search the E2G Program. Check if your business qualifies. This is a 30-minute task, not a 6-month project — and it could offset the cost of doing AI right the first time.
No ripping apart what works. No coding. Just a funding source most business owners don't know exists.
What's been your biggest barrier to getting a real AI win inside your business?
