4 Reasons Your Small Business Needs Me as Your AI Consultant

Let’s be real, AI is everywhere, but using it right is not?
Here are four reasons why you need a guide (hi! 👋) to navigate it.

1

There Are SO Many AI Tools!

The Problem:

There are over 2,000 AI tools out there (and 1,500 just for business!). New features drop daily. It’s a full-time job just trying to figure out what’s actually good and what’s just hype.

How I Help!

I live and breathe this stuff! I review AI news and product releases every single day. I test tools against the tasks you actually do in your small business and give you the straight-up best recommendations for your specific goals. No more guesswork!

AI Can Seriously Backfire

The Problem:

AI messes up. A lot. This OpenAI article explains that ChatGPT’s answers are accurate just a staggering 1 out of 4 times and breaks down why models “hallucinate” (aka, make stuff up)! Even worse? This Microsoft Research study found that after just six months of using AI chatbots, we lose our critical thinking skills and are way more likely to trust those flawed answers! This leads to what Harvard Business Review calls “AI-Generated ‘Workslop’”—junk work that forces your team to waste time cleaning up the AI’s mess. In fact, 95% of organizations see no measurable ROI from AI. Ouch.

How I Help!

I’m obsessed with AI ROI. I’ll show you exactly which tasks to automate for a massive return and which ones to avoid. I can also train you and your team on AI best practices so you can get all the benefits with none of the “workslop.”

Poor AI Use Can Hurt Your Business

The Problem:

Using AI the wrong way can be worse than not using it at all.

  • Feed AI bad data? It just amplifies your problems.
  • Let AI handle sensitive customer issues? Total disaster.
  • Use AI to write all your content? Get ready to lose your brand voice and your customers.

Don’t just take my word for it. This article on “AI Gone Wrong” is a wild ride of the most recent examples where AI backfired.

How I Help!

I’ve analyzed tons of AI success stories (and failures!). I’ll help you set up super-clear boundaries, guardrails, and processes so you can use AI to grow your business, not damage it.

AI Creates Huge New Security Risks

The Problem:

Everyone is adopting AI faster than they can secure it. The Enterprise AI & SaaS Data Security Report has some terrifying stats for small businesses:

  • 77% of employees copy and paste business data into AI tools.
  • 62% paste sensitive info (!!!).
  • 40% of files uploaded to AI contain confidential data like client records or financials.

That’s right: your team is probably leaking sensitive info right now and doesn’t even know it.

How I Help!

I’ll get you set up with the essentials. We’re talking a clear AI Policy, access controls, training, and monitoring. We’ve got this!
