3 mistakes in AI Transformation
The AI Second Brain
Here's what nobody's telling you about AI implementation:
The $100B Mistake
Companies are burning cash on AI. Not because AI doesn't work. Because they're doing it wrong.
And I know why.
Also if you plan on using AI to build a business, there are 3 critical patterns to avoid, that I saw based on my 2,5 year experience consulting dozens of companies, entrepreneurs and teams in AI implementation.
Today you will learn:

3 ways you're sabotaging yourself with AI
1. You're reading too much AI news
Stop chasing every ChatGPT update like it's going to save your business. It won't.
What actually works: Audit what your team does every day. Train them on the basics. Build 3-5 small wins that matter. News isn't strategy. Execution is.
2. You trust AI blindly
Here's the truth: AI makes mistakes. Copy-pasting without checking is how you tank your credibility and brand.
The fix: Know where AI breaks. Test everything. Have a backup plan. Treat AI automations and agents like interns, not a senior exec.
3. You're trying to automate everyone's job
The fantasy: Replace all humans with AI and count your savings.
The reality: Your people are still your biggest asset. But here's the thing: give them AI tools and training, and they'll 3x their output.
The formula is simple: Trained people + AI tools = actual transformation.
This is what got us results for our clients.
The bottom line
Done right, AI gives you results that look unfair to competitors.
You need 3 things:
The right AI tools for YOUR workflow
People who actually understand what AI can and can't do
A clear strategy on what to automate and WHY
Most companies have none of these.
That's your opportunity to get ahead.
