Amazing what Grok Bot can do.
I have it handling most of my expense reports now, which are pretty long.
With the built in vault, it has access to go grab any missing receipts.
It reads my email to find receipts as well.
Then packages everything in one excel file and combined PDF.
I want AI doing work while I'm away, not waiting for my next prompt.
Find opportunities. Research the options.
Bring me some solid recommendations.
I'd give it bigger jobs before I give it permission to send messages or spend money in my name.
Before you automate a task with AI, ask the person doing it where they spend time fixing mistakes.
I'd start there. Test whether AI reduces the rework, and count the time spent checking its output before calling it a win.
Every month, token costs go up.
Every quarter, the P&L stays exactly where it was.
Adoption matters early.
Connect usage to something measurable, and make sure someone owns it.
Joined @AJs_AI on The AI Collective Podcast today. The question I hear most is what to automate first. Pick a workflow that's high value and low risk, automate part of it, and keep a person approving anything that leaves the building. youtube.com/watch?v=V9NEF_Mu…
Most teams buy the model first.
Then look for work to throw at it.
That's backward.
The model is the easy part now.
The hard part is the operating system around it.
Don't let the fear of failure get to you.
Self-defeating talk is the main culprit.
RULE: Stay away from people who make you think this way.
Creating a product?
1) Validate your idea (by talking)
2) Validate your idea (by prototyping)
3) Validate your idea (by testing)
Launch the idea and validate some more.
Entrepreneurship is a kind of mental warfare.
A war with how you think about yourself.
Don't live in self-doubt. Win each battle one at a time.
The journey of entrepreneurship often feels like a rollercoaster.
Embrace each twist and turn — they’re all part of the ride to growth.
Stay focused on your vision.
Your resilience will redefine what’s possible.
Success in business isn’t just about the hustle.
It’s about crafting a vision and aligning every step to bring it to life.
Stay anchored in your mission.
When I started my company (OneSpring) in 2005 and grew it to several million, it seemed like endless nights of work and stress.
It gets better in time as you refine your vision and success comes.
Stick with it and surround yourself with great people who share in your vision.
Every setback in business is a lesson in disguise.
Embrace the failures, analyze them, and come back stronger.
Remember, resilience is your greatest asset.
The art of entrepreneurship isn't just about profits;
it's a journey of learning who you really are.
Every challenge is a mirror reflecting your strengths and weaknesses.
Success in business is built on a foundation of resilience.
It’s not about avoiding failure; it’s about learning from it.
Embrace the setbacks and let them fuel your next move.
