You're not behind. You've just been listening to the wrong people.
You run a real business. Somewhere in it, there's work that's slow, repetitive, or living entirely in one person's head: the invoicing, the scheduling, the retyping of things from one screen into another. You've wondered if AI could fix some of that. Then you looked into it and found forty tools, a hundred opinions, and a bunch of consultants whose "free audit" always ends the same way: with a proposal. So you did the sensible thing. Nothing.
