Most business owners I talk to use AI for one thing: content creation—emails, social posts, maybe the occasional ad.

That’s a great start, but you’re only scratching the surface.

In this week’s AI-Fueled Growth podcast, Zach and I talked about how we use AI for two powerful (and overlooked) purposes:

  • Acting as a business coach you can consult 24/7

  • Helping you step back and assess your business without shutting down for the day

Here’s how you can put both into action right now.

Turn AI Into Your Business Coach

When you own a small business, especially in a small town, you don’t always have someone to bounce ideas off of. AI can step in to help you:

  • Spot blind spots you didn’t see coming

  • Find growth opportunities you’ve been missing

  • Create short, actionable execution lists when you’re stuck

Example Prompt:

Based on this description of my business and recent activity, identify 3 blind spots I might be overlooking that could affect growth or profitability.

Then follow up with:

  • “Which should I fix first for the biggest impact?”

  • “What resources would help me address this?”

  • Reviewing your brand story for alignment with your current customers

  • Auditing your business model for profitability and resilience

  • Spotting growth gaps you can fix in the next 30 days
