AI-First Companies Are Winning BIG
“AI won’t take your job. It’s somebody using AI that will take your job.” – Richard Baldwin
Most business owners think AI is a tool.
The reality? It’s a co-worker. And it’s already clocked in.
An AI-first business isn’t one that uses AI.
It’s one that thinks in AI.
And goes to AI, first – literally.
Here’s what that means:
The Old Way:
Build business → find tools to help
The AI-First Way:
Ask: “How would an AI build this business/process from scratch?”
You’ll end up with smarter resourcing, faster output, and better data-driven decisions.
3 signs you’re not AI-first (yet)
- Your team still double-handles work
- Reports take hours instead of seconds
- You make decisions from gut, not data
Becoming AI-First: Step-by-Step
1. Audit tasks
List what your team does weekly.
If it repeats → automate it.
If it’s decision-based → accelerate it.
2. Start with one process
E.g. client onboarding, quoting, or reporting.
What sucks up time and has zero joy? Start there.
3. Retrain your team
Not to do less, but to do smarter.
AI handles the grunt work. Humans handle the judgment.
4. Build the culture
Talk about AI wins in team meetings.
Make experimentation a KPI.
🧠 Hint: This isn’t about “cutting costs”, it’s about gaining leverage.
Every hour saved by AI is one more you spend on growth.
