The ADVANCE Framework
A practical way to start (and stick with) AI. Whether you're a founder, a solo operator, or just getting curious.
"I know I should be using AI, but where do I start?"
I get asked this question a lot. After a year of building AI workflows for my own businesses and my clients', I've boiled it down to seven things that matter.
Automate
If you're doing something 2-3 times, hand it to an LLM. It's worth automating.
Document Everything
Transcribe your world. Build a personal Wikipedia about you, your business, your brand voice. This context is gold for personalizing every AI interaction you have going forward.
Voice to Text
The average person speaks 150 words per minute. Talking to your LLM is faster, more natural, and opens up brainstorming you wouldn't get from typing. Try speech mode on your next commute.
Allocate Time
Put an hour on your calendar every day for AI. Learning, reading, experimenting. In a few months, the gap between you and the people who didn't will be noticeable.
Network
Take a course. Join an engaged AI community. The people you meet at the same learning level will become your sounding board and your accountability.
Coach Up
Use your LLM as a coach, mentor, and teacher. It's the best resource available to you right now, and the paid plans are affordable for what you get.
Expose Yourself
Follow the great thinkers in this space. Read the articles, listen to the podcasts, scroll the posts on X and LinkedIn. It seeps in. Over time, you'll understand more than you think.
You don't need to do all seven at once.
Pick two. Start there. And if you want help building your ADVANCE plan, let's talk.
