🎙 Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, and I see it becoming as essential to small business owners as the internet itself. In this episode, I share a clear strategy for upskilling my existing team—not only to keep them competitive and relevant, but to help them become highly valuable, AI-focused experts who drive a systems-based, highly efficient business. By embracing and adopting AI in our daily practices, we can become more efficient, productive, and profitable.

Listen now and learn how to upskill your team, stay ahead of the curve, and future-proof your business! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡AI Is Essential For Business Survival: Companies that embrace and adopt AI will become more efficient, productive, and profitable, giving them a massive competitive advantage over those that do not.

💡The Risk of Obsolescence: If staff members are not embracing and using AI in their daily practice, they risk becoming obsolete, as others can achieve the same work to a higher standard in a tenth of the time using AI.

💡Upskill to Stay Competitive: Instead of replacing team members, business owners should focus on upskilling their existing staff to become ‘AI-savvy employees’ who can use their expertise to apply AI to their existing roles.

💡Shift to an AI-Driven System: Encourage team members to think about how they can use AI to replace themselves in their current role, effectively transforming their job into a new role as an AI developer or maintenance person.
