Nobody hands the new kid your biggest account on day one. You give them the boring stuff, the invoices, the meeting notes, the cleanup nobody wants to touch, and then you check their work. That's how you find out what they're good at, and that's exactly how this AI thing works too.
Today I'm making the case that AI isn't software you buy, it's the smartest junior employee you've ever hired. And like any junior employee, it earns its way up. Start it in the back office. Give it the invoices, the notes, the file cleanup you've been avoiding since March. The boring, repetitive work IS the training, for your junior employee and for you.
Then we open the AI Slam, so bring the thing in your business that's eating your Wednesday and we'll figure out together what your junior employee should be doing with it.
One job today. Back office. Check the work. That's the whole assignment.
Businessing is the daily show where small business owners get answers. Every weekday at 11am Central: one big story turned into something you can do today, one Idea Slam where a real owner gets answers live, and the AI story of the day in plain English. It's Your Dream, Don't Grow It Alone.® Sponsored by Athena Legal Solutions.
