I used to chase time like it owed me money. Between coaching sessions, content creation, marketing, admin tasks, and trying to show up everywhere online, I was busy, but freedom? Ha. Fleeting. I built my business to have more life, not less of it, but there I was, overwhelmed and stuck in every task. That was until I learned the magic of systems and automation. Finally, things started to shift. My calendar got lighter, my energy brighter, and I could breathe again. But then… came the plot twist. At the end of 2023, I met A.I., and honey, my mind was blown. Suddenly, I wasn’t just systemizing, I was supercharging. What once took me hours now took minutes. A.I., specifically ChatGPT, didn’t just help me with my business; it became my business bestie.
2024 was my playground. I dove in, tested, explored, and got obsessed, in the best way. I wanted to know how it worked, why it worked, and how far I could take it. So, I leveled up and earned certifications in A.I. Prompt Engineering and A.I. Data Machine Analysis. Because when I love something, I go all in. Now, A.I. is at the heart of how I run my business:
Writing and repurposing content
Creating emails and sales funnels
Building out strategies for my clients
Brainstorming digital product ideas
Automating systems that used to drain my energy
It’s not just about convenience, it’s about efficiency, creativity, and sustainability. A.I. gave me back my time, elevated my client experience, and reignited my joy in what I do. Win-win? You bet. Main Tools I Use on Repeat:
ChatGPT – My go-to for writing, brainstorming, and client support
Google Workspace + Zapier – For creating smart workflows and seamless automation
Canva – Because branding and content design should be both beautiful and easy
I know there’s fear out there. That A.I. is taking over. That it’s unethical. That it’s “not personal.” But let me be clear: A.I. doesn’t replace the human, it enhances her. The key? Learn it. Use it responsibly. Stay in control. When used ethically, A.I. becomes a tool for freedom, not fear. So, if you’ve been hesitating, let me be your push: Start exploring. Start experimenting. Start incorporating it into your workflow.
I’m not saying give A.I. the keys to your empire, I’m saying let it help you build one. You don’t have to be techy. You just have to be open. Because A.I. didn’t just change how I run my business, it changed how I live in it, and now, every day, I get to work smarter, serve better, and spend more time living my life on purpose.
Time freedom isn’t a myth. It’s a mindset, and A.I. is the method.
So yeah… A.I. is my biz bestie. And if you let it, it can be yours too.
