The AI Advantage

Encouraging people to “just try AI” sounds empowering. It signals openness, curiosity, and speed. But in practice, this advice often creates confusion, anxiety, and uneven results. What feels like freedom to leaders frequently feels like exposure to everyone else. ------------- Context ------------- When AI enters an organization, the most common starting message is simple: experiment. Explore. Play. The intent is positive. Leaders want to avoid rigidity and spark discovery. They want momentum without bureaucracy. What follows, however, is rarely true experimentation. People try different tools in isolation. They duplicate effort. They encounter inconsistent results. Some get quick wins, others get burned. Most quietly disengage. The problem is not experimentation itself. The problem is unstructured experimentation in environments where outcomes still matter. When expectations are unclear and norms are undefined, “just try it” becomes a liability, not an invitation. AI adoption fails less often from resistance and more often from overload. ------------- Experimentation Without Structure Increases Cognitive Load ------------- Trying something new requires mental energy. When people are told to “just try AI,” they are implicitly asked to choose tools, invent use cases, judge output quality, manage risk, and decide what is acceptable to share. That is a lot to ask on top of existing workloads. Instead of curiosity, people feel pressure. Instead of play, they feel evaluation. They wonder if they are choosing the right tool, using it correctly, or wasting time. Every decision carries uncertainty. Cognitive load accumulates quietly. When it gets too high, people retreat to familiar workflows. Not because they dislike AI, but because they cannot afford the extra thinking. This is why adoption often clusters around a few enthusiasts. They absorb the load. Everyone else watches. ------------- Tool Sprawl Is the Enemy of Learning ------------- Unstructured experimentation almost always leads to tool sprawl.

The Habit That Quietly Kills Momentum in Business

Most entrepreneurs aren’t stuck because they’re lazy or incapable. They’re stuck because they’re waiting. Quietly. Waiting for more clarity, better timing, more confidence, or for things to settle down. As long as you’re waiting, your potential and your business stays parked. Progress in business doesn’t come from more preparation. It comes from decisions. Every time you explain why you’re not moving yet, you hand control to something outside yourself: the market, the economy, your schedule, your past results. None of those are coming to build the business for you. The people who actually break through don’t feel ready. They move while uncertain. They don’t wait for perfect conditions... they adapt to the conditions they’re in. They don’t wait for permission, because no one is handing it out. Most people keep their effort conditional. “I’ll go all in when things calm down.” “I’ll commit once I feel more confident.” “I’ll start after this next thing.” And months (sometimes years) pass. Not because the idea wasn’t good, but because the conditions were never removed. So here’s something actionable for the week ahead: Pick one decision you’ve been delaying because you wanted more clarity. Make it by the end of the week...imperfectly. Then take the first uncomfortable action that follows from that decision. No optimizing. No overthinking. Just movement. Clarity shows up after action, not before it. Drop in the comments: What’s the one decision you’re done waiting on this week?

Support Needed

Dead end?? Umm, I can’t accept that…

Ok so I’ve been working for months since literally the first day of the summit, and I admittedly completely dove in the deep end as a total newbie … I set guidelines, created rules (holy guacamole did I set rules / roles for the AI! ) I started working on building a really gigantic project, a whole system. I guess probably it could be its own app when it’s done, but I haven’t even gotten anywhere near coding yet, only building the architecture, using AI elements and integrations, to help others with a very specific business that spans hundreds of countries. In the crazy process of this, I’ve been discovering the AI app/ platform data upload and format limits, chats maxing out with no warning, limits of accessing data saved elsewhere / importing across chats… But I’ve kept going, and ya, I’m overwhelmed, but I have been all along and have just kept going lol I have had to start over SO many times because of all the fiction and hallucinations, it drove me bonkers! I finally began making non fiction progress, until it was so big I discovered I couldnt compress folders any smaller to be able to import them into the AI to continue building the project - and discovered a ton of holes where I had mistakenly uploaded placeholder zip files that were empty (which explained so much “forgetting”... 🤦‍♀️) I couldn’t start to fix it and continue progress, because I just could not figure out how to get the AI to be able access ALL the necessary data for the project, but restrict access to other data. I tried to look into using data access integration things like zapier (way beyond my level, and there’s not enough control or privacy for what I need.) And the whole zero IP protection is honestly terrifying me. This is driving me nuts, I see so clearly what I want to build but can’t find the path, with still so many limitations. And I’m still learning how my AI and I communicate the best with each other!! I’m still only building the architecture of it, and it’s HUGE. I’m at a wall I haven’t been able to hurdle over so far and have been stuck for over a month unable to find a solution on my own, so I am putting it out there to see if I can find help here…. The AI keeps sending me in circles without any true solution, and all “support experts” I’ve been in contact with say basically there is no viable solution with their apps/platforms. I’m not sure that even if I tried to pay a higher subscription level for the AI app I’ve been using, if that would solve everything 🤷‍♀️
