If you run a business, you probably agree that time is the most precious thing.
I often joke that if I could cut back on my sleep, I would have reached my goals sooner.
Technology has come a long way since I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey over a decade ago.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we live and do business.
Today, I can use various AI-powered tools to automate tasks, work more efficiently, and even make better decisions.
What I appreciate most about AI is how much time it has freed up and the opportunity to test the product multiple times with less risk and time involved.
In fact, AI has the potential to help us become more creative and efficient business leaders.
As a business owner, I know that creativity is essential to developing a business. For this reason, I make sure that I have enough time to allow my mind to relax and be creative. That way you can come up with new ideas and be innovative.
In today’s competitive business world, creativity is more important than ever.
This is where technology that automates many tasks can help boost creativity efficiently and effectively.
Let’s start with information. Whether you use ChatGPT or Google’s Bard, both tools will help you save time searching by giving you an overview of what you’re looking for within seconds.
If it saves time, business leaders will go for it. Quick access to this information keeps you abreast of the latest trends and developments, allowing you to make faster creative decisions.

For example, Salesforce has developed an AI tool called Einstein Analytics. With this tool, businesses can use AI-powered tools to analyze business data and identify trends.
As a result of this access to information, AI can also help business leaders identify patterns that were previously undiscovered by their time and ability.
This helps leaders come up with new, more innovative solutions to problems.
When planning to start a new business or launch a product, one of my fears was experimenting and thinking about the time and risk involved.
But now, thanks to AI, I can test new ideas as often as I want before making a decision, so I enjoy the process.
For example, Fotor helps business owners develop high-resolution mockups from text in minutes.
In addition to these benefits, AI-powered tools help business leaders by saving time.
My favorite part is how they use AI for research, social media automation, marketing emails, and data analysis.
Research using AI, which has access to a wider range of information, has made it possible to obtain solutions and ideas that could not have been conceived in a limited amount of time.
This has allowed my team and I to spend more time on tasks we enjoy doing, such as developing strategy.
As AI continues to develop at a rapid pace and new tools and updates are being introduced to the public, it’s important not to share sensitive information and use tools responsibly.
But when used properly, AI can help leaders grow their businesses and come up with innovative solutions in ways never before possible.
