How to Make Good AI Decisions as a Business Owner
A Practical Resource for Leaders Navigating the New Technology Frontier
The conversation around artificial intelligence is loud, fast-moving, and full of hype. Business owners are hearing about AI everywhere—from their vendors and peers to industry news and marketing emails. Everyone’s saying they need it, but few are stopping to explain what it actually means to make smart, responsible decisions with it.
How to Make Good AI Decisions as a Business Owner was created for leaders who are asking the right questions, not just chasing trends. It’s a straightforward, no-fluff document that helps business owners pause, think critically, and evaluate AI through the lens of their actual business needs, not tech buzzwords.
Why This Matters
For most small and mid-sized businesses, the biggest risk isn’t missing out on the latest tool—it’s adopting the wrong one without understanding the cost, the use case, or the long-term impact. AI can be powerful, but only if it solves the right problem in the right way.
This document was designed to help leaders:
-
Clarify why they’re considering AI in the first place
-
Understand the strategic role AI can play (and where it can backfire)
-
Evaluate risks, resources, and real ROI
-
Avoid getting swept up in the fear of being left behind
A Thoughtful Guide in a Noisy Space

Because the best leaders aren’t the ones who jump first—they’re the ones who know when to wait, when to act, and how to think critically about what’s right for their business.
