You bought the AI tool. Nobody uses it. $200/month just sitting there.
That's not a you problem. That's a "oversold and underdelivered" problem — and it happens to smart business owners every day.
Here's the reframe that actually matters right now.
A Forbes piece makes a counterintuitive point: AI isn't just killing software companies — it's creating more of them. Why? Because AI lowers the cost of building custom solutions dramatically. What used to cost $500K to build custom now costs a fraction of that.
For you, that means something specific. The off-the-shelf AI tool that fits nobody perfectly? You may now have options for something built around how your business actually runs — without the enterprise price tag.
This doesn't mean ripping anything apart. It means your first AI win might not be buying another generic tool. It might be solving one specific, painful, repetitive problem in your workflow — and doing it with something built for that exact problem.
Start there. One problem. One solution. Measure it in 30 days.
What's the one task in your business that eats the most time and requires the least thinking? That's usually where the first real AI win hides.
