AI+ for Business Owners
Automate, Grow and Compete in the AI Era
AI for the business you actually run.
You're running a business, not a technology experiment. The AI noise is real — but the real risk is spending time on tools that don't move the needle. This book gives you 25 practical prompts across marketing, operations, and customer service, a 30-day AI starter plan, and clear guidance on where AI helps and where it doesn't. Built by an AI engineering firm — not management consultants.
- 38 ready-made, market-tested prompts: marketing, ops, finance, hiring, and the strategic decisions
- The Owner's Strategic Toolkit: Pre-Mortem, Devil's Advocate, Steel-Man, and Stakeholder Scan — for the decisions that sit on your desk alone
- The AI Opportunity Matrix applied to your business — where AI helps, where it doesn't
- The AI Safety Checklist and a one-page AI Policy template, ready to adopt this week
- A 30-day plan with three concrete starting points you can act on Monday morning
Owner-operators and managing directors of established small-to-medium businesses (1–100 employees, sweet spot 2–50). They already run a business — they are not pre-revenue founders (that is T1-09) and they are not corporate executives (that is T4-03/T2-68). They might own a dental practice, a trades company, a retail shop, a logistics firm, a professional services firm, or a restaurant group. They make most of the decisions. They wear multiple hats: sales, operations, finance, people management. They are time-poor and highly practical.
Also for:General managers running a P&L within a larger organisation (the "business-within-a-business" mindset); family business successors taking over operations; franchisees; senior managers in small businesses who function as de-facto co-owners.
