New grads are cheaper than ever. And your competitors are starting to notice.
Small business expert Gene Marks made a quiet observation recently — AI is reshaping who businesses hire and why. Not replacing people wholesale. Just shifting which skills actually matter now.
Here's what that means for you if you're still sitting on the sidelines.
You don't need to hire differently or rethink your whole team. But you do need one person — already on your payroll — who owns a single AI task. Not twenty tasks. One. Something that costs you time every week and has a clear, measurable output.
That's it. That's the whole first step.
The mistake most business owners made (and you might have made it too) was buying a platform before identifying the problem. The tool came first, the use case never came at all. That's why it sits unused at $200/month.
Flip the order. Pick your most painful, repetitive task first. Then find the tool that solves exactly that. Thirty days later, you'll know if it works — before you've committed to anything significant.
One win changes everything. It quiets the noise and builds your confidence for what comes next.
What's the one task in your business you wish you never had to do again?
