HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION!

Welcome back, Badasses, to another episode of No More Excuses!

Today, I've got one big question for you:Is AI helping your business… or hurting it? Or hell, have you even TRIED it yet?

Because here's the truth—AI is not coming. It's already here. And whether you like it or not, your competition is probably already using it to streamline their operations, create content faster, automate customer service, or cut costs without cutting corners.

So, I'll ask again: Is it helping or hurting your business?

Let's back up a bit. AI has been dominating headlines—ChatGPT, automation tools, CRMs that think for you. And yes, it can feel overwhelming, especially if you're already juggling a million things just trying to keep your business moving. I get it.

But let me be brutally honest for a second: If you're ignoring AI because you "don't get tech" or "don't have time"— That's an excuse. And you know this show doesn't tolerate that.

Let's talk about what AI can do for your business—RIGHT NOW:

• It can write your social media captions, blogs, or email newsletters in minutes.
• It can automate customer responses or appointment reminders.
• It can help you analyze customer data, feedback, and buying trends without hiring a full-time team.
• It can take the repetitive crap off your plate so you can focus on actually growing your business.

Now does that mean you should outsource your entire business brain to a bot? Hell no!

But if you're stuck in busywork mode while your competitors are using AI to scale, you're falling behind.

So, here's what I want you to ask yourself:

1. Have I even TRIED using AI in my business?
2. Am I curious or closed off to what it can do?
3. Where in my business am I wasting time that a smart tool could streamline?

And if your answer is, "I don't know where to start," guess what? That's not a stop sign. That's a starting point. There are simple tools—many of them free or low-cost—that are built for people like YOU. You don't need to be a tech wizard to use them.

Quick Action Challenge: This week, I want you to pick ONE task—just one—that eats up your time. Maybe it's writing a weekly email, answering the same client question over and over, or chasing down appointments. Now, go find an AI tool to help with it. Use ChatGPT. Try an AI scheduler. Explore automation in your email platform.

Just TRY something.

Because if you're not at least experimenting, you're choosing to stay stuck. And you, my friend, are too damn smart and too damn badass for that.

AI isn't here to replace your magic. It's here to amplify it—if you let it.

So, stop resisting. Stop making excuses. And go lead your business like the badass you are.

I'll see you next week on No More Excuses. Now go take action—your future self is waiting.

Cheers!
