Smart Start

Smart Start

Most founders use AI to procrastinate.

They spend weeks building complex autonomous agents to manage a team they don't even have yet.

They try to build a spaceship before they have a bicycle.

This is "Productivity Porn." It feels like work, but it's just a distraction.

If you are starting a business, the goal is not to be "advanced." The goal is to be effective.

The Smart Start approach:

  1. Identify one bottleneck (e.g., writing cold emails).
  2. Build one simple solution (a basic script or prompt).
  3. Execute.

I used to spend 10 hours a week customizing proposals.

Now I spend 15 minutes reviewing what my AI wrote.

That is 40 hours a month bought back.

Stop trying to transform your entire business overnight.

Transform one task.

Then, do it again.

What is the one boring task you will automate today?
