Stop spinning your wheels and start seeing real results from your AI investments. 

They say "AI is transforming everything. AI will 10X your productivity. AI is the future."

But 92% of companies trying to use AI are failing to see meaningful returns according to data from Nvidia.

Let me say that differently: for every dollar businesses are spending on AI tools, software, and consultants, most are getting pennies back in actual business value.

But the 8% who ARE winning with AI aren't doing it because they're smarter or have bigger budgets. They're following a different playbook, one that actually works for businesses like yours.

I'm going to break down the four things successful companies do differently, stripped of all the technical jargon and corporate-speak.

The Small Business Owner's Guide to Actually Succeeding with AI

It's no secret that AI touches every aspect of your business (and that can be a bit overwhelming... but it doesn't have to be). 

The key is to find the current bottlenecks in your workflow and seek to improve one at a time.

Here's a more interactive view of this image if you want to play with it.

The Productivity Paradox when getting your employees to use AI can be dangerous.  Here's what it is and how to avoid it.

Watch the youtube video here (less than 3 minutes long) https://lnkd.in/gwhVFSd5 

Moral:  If you're trying to create a culture of innovation and AI usage at your company make sure you understand this aspect of employee psychology first.

Advance Your Reach

Everyone has to be in front of people delivering a message. The conference hall can be your stage. The boardroom could be your stage. Trying to generate funding from people and organizations could be your stage.

There are many different stages. A stage can be anywhere, and a stage is critical for everyone with a message or product to share with the world.

It is the sincere intention of Advance Your Reach to help you master the skills you need to extend your REACH, and understand why your message is so important.

The Foundry at Lassonde Studios is the only place in the University of Utah where you can (1) receive course credit (and/or independent study credit) for working on your passion project or new venture; and (2) the only place in the University of Utah where you can receive the same managerial training and coaching that high-potentials and top managers in the best-run companies receive — using your passion project or new venture as the fulcrum.
