Why an AI-First Mindset Is the New Competitive Edge

Remember Hotmail? AOL? Or, the movie“You’ve Got Mail”? 

If you were around in the '90s, you probably remember what seemed to be a trend: email. 

It marked a shift in how we connect, communicate, and do business.

At the time, email felt optional. Now, it’s non-negotiable.

AI is having the same moment right now.

It’s already inside the tools you’re using. The only question left is: Are you using it with intention?

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing why an AI-first mindset is no longer optional for solo business owners who want to stay relevant and profitable.

 

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• Why “business as usual” doesn’t work anymore
• How trust, clarity, and connection have replaced volume tactics
• Practical ways AI is already integrated into the tools you’re using
• What it means to adopt an “AI-first” mindset
• The five types of AI users—and which one you are
• Three critical areas solo business owners must master to stay competitive
