AI for Small Business
The Playbook Series
5 Sessions. 90 Minutes Each. 100% Hands-On.
You don’t need to become an AI expert.
You need AI that works for your business — starting this week.
Here’s the reality of small business: you have a lean team, a tight budget, and zero time to waste on glamorous tool demos. This isn’t a tech course. This is a business course that uses AI to solve the problems keeping you up at night — marketing that doesn’t get done, operations that eat your day, and customers you’re leaving on the table.

This program is designed for small business owners and operators with 1–50 employees — across every industry. If you recognize yourself here, this is for you.
Why This Playbook
Most AI training is built for IT departments. This is built for founders, operators, and the person who does everything.
Problem-First, Tool-Second
We don’t start with ChatGPT. We start with your biggest business bottleneck — then show you the AI that solves it.
The “Found Hours” Challenge
Our curriculum is designed to help you reclaim measurable time starting in Session 1. We track it together, every week.
Free Tools Only
You’ll learn to compete with companies 10x your size using only free-tier AI tools. No paid subscriptions required.
Multi-Tool Fluency
You’ll learn when to use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — and get a “Model Matchmaker” guide so you always pick the right one.
DOL-Aligned Standards
Fully aligned with the 2026 U.S. Department of Labor AI Literacy Framework — responsible, ethical, and secure AI use.
Tangible Deliverables
You don’t leave with “knowledge.” You leave with a physical and digital toolkit ready for immediate deployment.
The 5-Week Journey
Each session builds on the last. By Week 5, you’ll have a complete AI playbook custom-built for your business.
AI Foundations: Get 5 Hours Back This Week
What AI actually is (no jargon), your first hands-on wins, the “2-Hour Tuesday” challenge where you complete a 2-hour task in 15 minutes, responsible use basics, and your AI acceptable use policy.
AI Power Skills: Work Smarter, Not Harder
Prompt engineering that transforms your results, advanced features (file uploads, deep research, Custom GPTs), the “Model Matchmaker” guide, and building reusable AI workflows for tasks you repeat every week.
Branding & Marketing with AI
Define your brand identity with AI, build audience personas, generate 30 days of social media content, and create a repeatable content engine that maintains your voice across every platform.
From Content to Customers: Turn Posts into Revenue
Write captions and copy that convert, build customer engagement systems, analyze feedback at scale, craft proposals and outreach — with industry-specific prompt packs for your business type.
Run It Smarter: Your Critical Wins
AI for admin tasks, document analysis, financial intelligence, and no-code automation. Plus: build your 90-Day AI Action Plan, set up your governance policy, and graduate with an accountability partner.
What You Walk Away With
By Session 5, you won’t just have knowledge — you’ll have a complete, ready-to-deploy business toolkit.
The Master Prompt Library
50+ reusable, tested prompts organized by function — marketing, sales, operations, and finance. Copy, paste, customize, deploy.
Your Brand Engine
An AI-generated brand profile, audience personas, and a 30-day social media content calendar. Your marketing system, built in one session.
The Sales & Customer Toolkit
AI-powered proposals, outreach templates, follow-up sequences, and customer FAQ systems. Ready to send, not ready to draft.
Your 90-Day AI Action Plan
A concrete roadmap: your top 3 AI use cases, specific tools, implementation timeline, budget, and success metrics. This is how you move from learner to leader.
Meet Your Facilitation Team
You’re learning from executives who bridge the gap between leadership strategy and hands-on AI execution.
