Business Building Tools/Advice

Hi! I've written some posts in the past about rebuilding my dog training business. I've done some searches in this community, but I thought I would post some specifics about my situation.

I have so many tools I pay for, and I just can't figure out what to use, when to use it, and how to use them! I spend so much time trying to figure out how to use what I have, both independently and together, etc. There are many things I would like to do, but briefly, here are the things I would like to work on/create to get started.

-I would like to create knowledge bases for different things. A couple of examples are:

A knowledge base all about my dog training business

Knowledge bases on different aspects of dog behavior (reactivity, puppies, anxiety, etc.)

I was thinking I would try Google NotebookLM to create the knowledge bases. Then I could use ChatGPT or Gemini to create content from the info in the Google Notebooks.

I currently mostly use ChatGPT for my business. I have a project that contains my chats. I don't know much about custom GPTs, but would it be better to learn how to create a custom GPT that's trained on my business rather than using projects? Should I still create the NotebookLM Knowledgebase?

This is just scratching the surface for a place to begin. There are many things I want to do, and many different tools. There are also so many more tools I see all the time...maybe something else would be better?

What about chatbots? AI assistants? I'm constantly seeing these tools, and they are always adding more and more options to create things.

I have asked ChatGPT these questions, but I would like to get some advice from real people who know what they're doing.

I'm learning as I go, and it's quite overwhelming! I'm hoping for a little guidance, suggestions, recommendations, and personal experiences from anyone willing to help me out.

Feel free to ask me any follow-up questions that may give you some more specifics about anything...what tools do I have, more details on what I would like to accomplish, etc.

Also, there is so much I want to do...I start with one thing, and 3 hours later I realize I'm doing something completely different, and I'm never getting anything done. I can spend the entire weekend at my computer and get absolutely nothing accomplished because I've jumped around, gone down rabbit holes, and started 12 different things. It's a real problem. I'm trying so hard to stay on task, but inevitably I end up skipping around doing different things, never accomplishing anything!

Thanks so much for reading this, and thank you for any info you can share with me. Really looking forward to hearing what you all have to say.
