A line from a novel got me thinking about the difference between what we love and what we actually pay attention to. Here's a five-day exercise that shows you where your week really goes, plus how to hand one job off to AI so it stays off your plate.

Three contractors got the same shot at my business. Only one made it easy to say yes. It got me thinking about the small moments where good people lose customers without knowing it, and how one clear playbook, plus a little AI, closes them for good.

I thought I had my exercise form down, until a friend caught what I couldn't. It got me thinking about the parts of your business you're too close to see, why AI so often falls flat for people, and how a simple playbook plus an outside set of eyes gets a piece of your business running without you.
