You bought an AI tool. Nobody used it. Now it's a $200/month reminder that AI is confusing.
You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. The problem isn't you. It's that everyone sold you a tool before defining the problem.
South Dakota's university system just published their statewide AI strategy. And buried in that document is something most business owners miss: they didn't start with tools. They started with specific objectives — defined outcomes they wanted to reach first, then worked backward to find what fits.
That's the move most consultants skip. They show you the shiny software before asking what you actually need to fix.
When you flip that sequence, everything changes. You stop shopping for AI and start solving a specific bottleneck. One problem. One test. Thirty days to see if it moves the needle.
Here's the practical takeaway: before you look at a single AI tool, write down one business process that costs you time every week. Just one. That's your starting point — not a software demo.
That single constraint narrows the field from hundreds of tools to maybe three. And three is a decision you can actually make.
What's the one repetitive task in your business that's quietly eating your week?
