Courses — The Power of Three
A simple, proven route for small businesses to adopt AI properly: start free, automate with confidence, then redesign your business AI-first.
No fluff, no jargon. Just practical skills, real examples and a clear way to introduce AI without wasting money on tools you never use.
A proven blueprint for using AI in a small business
AI can save enormous amounts of time, but only if you introduce it in the right order. The method here is simple:
- Learn what is possible and how to prompt rapidly and accurately.
- Use AI to semi-automate repetitive work in your existing processes.
- Then step back and redesign your business with AI in mind.
This is the same step-by-step approach used to build and grow Flat Pack Amigos — and later to weave AI into every part of the business.
Reality check
Before you do anything with AI, ask yourself:
“Am I running my business, or does my business run me?”
If you never have time to improve anything, AI will just become another thing on your list. The people who benefit are the ones who carve out regular time to improve their systems — even two hours a week.
The courses and examples on this site are designed to help you use that time well, so each change saves you time and reduces errors.
The three courses
Each course builds on the previous one. You can stop after the first, or follow the full route from “curious about AI” to “AI-first business”.
