I find it fascinating to discover that most small business owners still aren’t using AI…
They’re using a very expensive version of Google.

Congratulations. You’ve successfully hired yourself as the unpaid intern for your AI.
The real opportunity isn’t learning how to write better prompts.
It’s learning how to build a business where AI actually removes work from your plate.
There’s a progression I’m seeing with the businesses getting this right:
First, you use AI to answer questions.
Then you give it context about your business so it stops starting from zero.
Then you connect it to the tools where your work actually happens.
Then you build repeatable workflows.
Then those workflows begin handling pieces of the business without you constantly pushing the next button.
Eventually, you’re not just using AI.
You’re building leverage.
That’s the difference.
Because if every lead still needs you to remember the follow-up…
Every meeting requires you to manually update the CRM…
Every proposal starts with a blank document…
And every customer question lands on your desk…
You don’t have an AI problem.
You have a systems problem.
And adding another shiny AI subscription probably isn’t going to fix it.
This is exactly what we’re working on inside The Dealmaker League, my free Skool community.
We’re bringing together business owners, consultants, executives and sales professionals
who want to get better at practical AI adoption, modern sales, business development, networking, follow-up, communication and dealmaking.
Not AI theory.
Not 97 new tools you’ll forget you subscribed to next month.
Practical systems you can actually use to save time, create opportunities and close more business.
Because the goal isn’t to become an AI expert.
The goal is to build a business that needs less of you to operate and creates more opportunities because of it.
If that sounds like the kind of room you should be in,
< Please share The Dealmaker League with someone you know today.
Stop collecting AI tools. Start building leverage.
Ps- Dan Martell happens to have some of the best infographics on this topic so I attached one here below…
