Make Yourself Invaluable

10 Ways to Use AI to Accelerate Your Success and Make More Money.

AI is not just for big businesses. Use it to accelerate your venture or career as well

Artificial Intelligence is often seen as a threat to jobs.

It's also seen as something only Fortune 500 companies are using to improve efficiency and make profits.

Yet if you’re in an industry where any kind of technology is used, you can use AI to make yourself more valuable and advance your career or business.

The AI market is expected to grow a massive 38.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Whether you're in a senior position, starting a business or just starting in Canada, now is the perfect time to get ahead using AI before it becomes mainstream.

It's kinda like knowing about Google before Google took over the internet 🤯. And I believe those who invest their time in it now will reap the rewards later.

Here are ten ways to use AI to accelerate your success and make more money:

  1. Use AI to sort emails and avoid mistakes: AI can help keep your inbox tidy by putting emails into folders for you.

  2. Make smart choices with AI: AI can look at sales info and find patterns to help you make better decisions for your business.

  3. Chatbots for better customer help: Make a chatbot for your website to answer common questions so your support team has more time for bigger problems.

  4. Create better content with AI: AI can give you ideas for what to write about and help you choose the best words and pictures.

  5. AI helps manage projects: AI can give team members tasks based on when they're free and what they're good at, making work smoother.

  6. Work together better with AI: AI can quickly translate messages between languages, so people who speak different languages can work together easily.

  7. AI makes hiring easier: AI can look through job applications and find the best people for the job, saving time for the HR team.

  8. Stay safe online with AI: AI can check emails for wrong links and viruses, warning you before they cause trouble.

  9. Keep up with trends using AI: AI can watch social media and find new trends or opportunities to grow your business so you stay ahead of others.

  10. Make customers happy with AI: AI can suggest products on your website based on what customers like helping you sell more and make customers smile.

These are all ideas that you can implement or give you inspiration about how you can add value and be seen as a leader in this space.

If you’re setting up a new business, knowing how to implement AI can save you time and money.

Alternatively businesses are screaming out for people who know about AI to help them. So it’s a great chance to show initiative.

You might even create a new job for yourself, like an 'AI Engineer' which has a salary of up to $150,000.

But before any of that, you need to spend time learning more about AI, testing and trying things out.

How a Crossfit Gym Owner Expanded His Earning Potential in 30 Minutes

Bouncing around ideas is a great way to come up with income branch ideas

I spoke to my friend during the week who is building a brand new commercial building where he plans to open a crossfit gym…

As we regularly chat about business, I asked him, "So tell me, my friend, how are you gonna make money?"

She said "From selling gym memberships."

Out of curiosity I said: "Ok, but what happens if you have a bad month and your membership goes down?"

“Well, I'm going to rent some of the space to a masseuse and another part to a gymnastics class."

“Ok cool, here’s another idea for you…” I replied…

This got us brainstorming on other ways he could monetize his space. Here are some ideas we came up with:

  1. Vending machines for shakes, protein bars, and more.

  2. Selling branded apparel and fitness equipment in-store and through an eCommerce platform.

  3. Launching a kid's martial arts class for extra revenue.

This conversation reminded me of an essential lesson in business:

Never stop being creative about ways to make money, and this can be a superpower when growing your business 🚀

Just talking to friends or family and bouncing ideas around can open your mind to new possibilities.

After our discussion, my friend is planning to add a martial arts class to this gym
