Last week I welcomed Rose Desauguste back into my classroom and her session on future-proofing your business did not disappoint. (It never does!)

Rose is the founder & CEO of Nectar Digital Group, a company that helps small and medium-sized businesses grow through innovation consulting and strategy, and by providing Fractional CMO and COO services.

Here are three game-changing approaches to leveraging AI, depending upon how 'all-in' you want to go, courtesy of Rose's deep knowledge and experience:

1. Use What You've Already Got
   ​Many platforms now offer data analytics insights easily provided by AI. This saves you time because you don't have to hunt for information or crunch numbers to get answers.
   ​
   Platforms like Microsoft and Google have already embedded large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT into their platforms to help with content creation and in other ways.
   ​
   Zoom's new AI Companion takes meeting notes and shares them with attendees. I've been using it with clients and in my classroom, and I'm impressed!
   ​
2. Level Up with Custom LLMs
   ​If you find you're always using ChatGPT for the same tasks, you can build your own custom GPT in minutes. [Log in, then click on 'Explore GPTs' from the left-hand menu.]
   ​
   Train it on your voice to write emails, texts, social media content (cautiously), and much more at lightning speed.
   ​
   A year ago, this required technical skills. But, the technology is improving so rapidly that, now, anyone can do it.
   ​
3. Build Your AI Dream Team
   ​The most advanced and beneficial way to expand your capacity is by building your own custom AI assistant, or more likely, hiring an LLM developer to do it.
   ​
   Imagine having an operations assistant helping with client onboarding, data analysis, scheduling, emails, and more – all at your fingertips.
   ​
   Custom AI assistants, in other words, can help you grow your business faster with fewer resources and without the stress of managing other people.
   ​
   Plus, they help free up your time so you can focus on working on your business and not just in it.

The most important thing when it comes to leveraging AI is to let go of your fear and approach it in a way that fits you best.

To start, test out what you can do with it and how it can support your business. You might be surprised how useful it is in streamlining your workload and your brainload.

Of course, to learn more about how to future-proof your business and take advantage of the AI revolution, join Rose's newsletter. I have no doubt you'll quickly understand why I keep inviting her back to my classroom time and time again.

Until next time,

PS - If you missed it, last week I encouraged you to Keep Their Eyes on the Prize when raising prices.

Your success is our strategy!
