Cofounder of a pond & fountain cleaning company. NQ futures trader ๐ TEL holder. Building a team of Grok Bots. Sharing my business + AI journey. Muck yea! ๐ธ
Real week recap in the pond biz:โจโ Bots running the officeโจโ Started servicing natural swimming pools ๐โโ๏ธโจโ Van died on a jobโจโ Expensive repair billโจโ Half a day of OT waiting for a towโจ
Thatโs the muck. Still grateful. Still building. Muck yea ๐ธ
Random Sunday facts about US small businesses:โจโข 36.2 million of themโจโข 99.9% of all businessesโจโข 62.3 million employeesโจโข 82% have zero employees, just the owner doing it allโจThat's millions of one-person shows who could use a few Grok Bots ๐ธ
What I learned in week 1 of bringing AI into a small service biz:โจโข Start with the boring tasksโจโข Give each bot one clear jobโจโข Approve before anything goes outโจโข Expect to tweak them dailyโจโข The hours you get back add up fast ๐ธ
@AnnaDkep Thank you! And I respect that. I still do certain things myself too, but having the repetitive office tasks automated lets me focus on growing the business ๐ธ
