You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly cancelled three months later.
That's not a technology failure. That's a deployment failure — and it happens to smart business owners every single day.
Fortune just ran a piece on solo founders using AI to do the work of entire teams. The headline sounds inspiring. But buried in the story is the part nobody talks about: even they hit walls going it alone.
Here's what that actually means for you. AI works when it's matched to a specific, repeatable task your business already does. Not when it's purchased on potential. The founders who win aren't using more tools — they're using fewer, better-fitted ones.
