Rolling the dice with AI (Why OpenAI's billion-dollar bet matters to your small business)

Let's talk about OpenAI hitting the billion-dollar revenue mark 🦄  

Isn't this just a Silicon Valley fairytale? 

Well yes. 
AND… it's a lesson in risk and reward for every small business owner, creative, and solopreneur out there. 

OpenAI bet big, losing a whopping $540 million in 2022. They were burning money; AND they were stoking the fires of innovation. 
Look where it got them. 
Monthly revenue soaring from $28 million to $80 million? 
Check. 
A user base the size of a small country? 
Double-check.

The underlying message here, for the entrepreneurial mind, is the power of confidence and intelligent risk taking to grow. OpenAI's high-stakes gamble wasn't just confined to the nerd dens of tech developers. They expanded into enterprise solutions, teamed up with Microsoft, and threw in top-tier security measures. And guess what? It made them the youngest unicorn in history.

It's not just the tech giants who can roll the dice. 

With AI tools like ChatGPT, and now, Claude, Bard, Llama, Perplexity and so many more, even small businesses can up their game, turn mundane tasks into automated workflows, and free up time for the kind of work that actually pays the bills and checks off the bucket list.

So, ask yourself this: Am I game to take a calculated risk and intelligently incorporate AI into my work? 

If OpenAI can transform $540 million of losses into a billion-dollar opportunity, imagine what a smidgen of that courage could do for you. 

Let's get chatting—or should I say, let's get ChatGPTing! 😄

Is it cheating to use Artificial Intelligence is your marketing?

Got burning questions about whether using AI is "cheating"? I tackle this hot topic in a snappy TikTok video. Spoiler: using technology to be more efficient isn't cheating; it's smart.

And since I AM the author of a book called UNboring: Take your content marketing from blah to brilliant, I love me a good meme to make my point for me. So I went straight to Joey and Rachel from Friends.

👥 Just like Joey and Rachel circling around the truth about new relationships they’re excited for but uncertain if they can share, there’s still lots of mystery around AI. We’re all coming to accept this technology at our own pace. And that’s ok!

💡 Think of AI as a tool that can empower your creativity.
🔁 Much like you’d use a calculator, AI saves time on rote tasks so you can focus on strategy.
📈 Combining AI with human intelligence is how we’ll do our most innovative work.
