AI for Small Business · Pasadena, CA
You know AI matters. Nobody has shown you where it applies to your business.
Forty-five minutes with me, and you get a prescription – the specific tools that give you back at least five hours a week, what each one costs, and how long each takes to set up.
The Problem
Every piece of AI advice you get is about the technology
None of it is about the thing you do every Tuesday that takes four hours.
You have read that AI is going to change your industry. You believe it. You still have no idea which of the tools you keep hearing about applies to a business your size, doing what yours does, with the people you actually have.
That is not a knowledge problem. It is a diagnosis problem. Nobody has looked at your week.
What I Do
I look at your week, then I write a prescription
Free 15-minute review
You describe one workflow. I name one tool. There is no pitch and no second call unless you ask for one. Worst case, you learn about something you had not heard of.
AI Tools Assessment
One forty-five minute interview. Then a written prescription of three to seven specific tools, with real prices, real setup times, and the hours each one gives back. Five hours a week or your money back.
Whatever comes next
Some owners want the tools installed, a process rebuilt before anyone automates it, or something custom built around how they actually work. That conversation happens after the assessment, never before it.
The Guarantee
Five hours a week, or you get your money back
That is the entire risk. You spend forty-five minutes and $999. If I cannot find you five hours a week, I refund the fee. The typical result is seven.
I can make that guarantee because this is diagnosis rather than guesswork. Twenty years running business-side technology at a global investment manager taught me to understand a process before recommending anything to point at it.
The Discipline
Sometimes I will tell you not to automate something
Throwing AI at a broken sixteen-step process gives you a broken, automated, sixteen-step process.
When the honest answer is that your process needs fixing before any tool will help it, I say so. That is what a CIO does. It is also the difference between a prescription and a sales pitch, and it is why the recommendations you get from me are worth acting on.
Who This Is For
Owners and operators, roughly two to twenty-four people
In and around Pasadena. Most of my examples come from manufacturing and from club operations, because that is where I do the deepest work, but the method does not care what you make or sell.
If you sign the checks and you already know which task in your business you dread, you are the right person for this. If you have someone on staff already running technology for you, this is probably not the right offer, and the main site describes the work that is.
Also
Once a month, I do this in a room
AI for Small Business is a free ninety-minute session in Pasadena. Twenty-two owners, one real workflow taken apart and rebuilt live on screen, and nobody gets pitched. The next one is Thursday, October 15.
