Want to run a business all by yourself—without a big team, huge budget, or fancy coding skills? Here’s the simple playbook: 1️⃣ Start with ONE clear problem to solve Forget “big idea” pressure. Pick a real pain people will pay to end. Example: “Busy real-estate agents lose leads because follow-ups slip.” 2️⃣ Turn that problem into an offer they can’t refuse Ask four quick questions: 1. Do they want the result? 2. Will they believe it works? 3. How fast can they see it? 4. How easy can you make it? 5. Nail those, and the sale feels obvious. 3️⃣ Let AI be your tiny, tireless team - Research brain: Custom GPT or Google AI Studio finds pain points & competitor gaps. - Content heart: Tools like ChatGPT + Canva write posts & design graphics for you. - Lead-gen lungs: Apify scrapes leads, Zapier/Make send the DMs & emails. - Delivery hands: Fathom records calls, drafts follow-ups, and builds client docs. 4️⃣ Monetize without a million followers - Digital product: a $29 template, prompt pack, or mini-course. - Done-for-you service: set up the AI system for a local business—charge $$$. - Document the journey: short posts & clips prove you know your stuff and pull in more leads. 🔑 Biggest trap to dodge: chasing every shiny AI tool before you lock in the one problem you solve. Clarity first, tech second.
