- It’s not you. It’s your input.
It’s not you. It’s your input.
The most common thing I hear from small business owners:
“I tried using AI… but the output was terrible.”
That’s not your fault.
It’s not a tool problem.
It’s an instruction problem.
AI isn’t smart on its own.
It mirrors what you give it.
If you typed:
“Write some content”
You’ll get exactly that.
Generic content.
Here’s how to speak AI’s language.
Try this format:
Context. Task. Tone.
Example:
“Act as my assistant. I run an online business. Help me draft a welcome email for new customers. Make it sound helpful and friendly.”
Why this works:
• You give AI something real to work with
• You get output that matches your style
• You stop wasting time rewriting every response
Try it with:
• Sales emails
• Weekly plans
• FAQ pages
• Even LinkedIn posts
You don’t need to become a prompt expert.
You just need to structure what you already know.
What task would you love to stop doing manually? |

P.S. You don’t need to be technical to get great results from AI. You just need a better way to talk to it. That’s what changes everything.
