You Don’t Have to Be an Expert to Start Helping People

I recently had the opportunity to do my first AI training for a local entrepreneurs’ group I’m part of. It was a pretty basic introductory training on how small business owners can start using AI, but it was still a huge step for me.

The opportunity came simply from mentioning that I work with AI. The business coach who runs the group heard that and asked if I’d be willing to teach a session on it.

I definitely don’t see myself as an expert yet, but I realized I know enough to help business owners understand the basics, see what’s possible, and take a few practical next steps.

And the best part is that now I’m on a lot more people’s radar. A few people came up afterward and said they’d be interested in meeting and having a conversation, so I’m hopeful some opportunities may come from it.

I’m super grateful for people like Nate Herk and others who share so much valuable information for free. A lot of what I’ve learned has come from just watching, learning, implementing, and taking the next step.

So I just wanted to encourage anyone else who feels like they’re “not ready yet.” You may not need to be 10 steps ahead. Sometimes you just need to be 1 or 2 steps ahead of the people you’re trying to help.

Keep putting yourself out there. Mention what you’re doing. Share what you’re learning. You never know what doors might open.

Here’s the video from the training if anyone wants to check it out and provide feedback: https://youtu.be/XwxLv4EdY1U

Curious — has anyone else here had the chance to give an AI training or gotten an opportunity just from putting yourself out there?
