A Practical Journey to AI Powered Business Transformation, One Day at a Time
AI is no longer just for tech giants or coders in hoodies. It’s here, and it’s already transforming how businesses communicate, sell, support, and scale.
But most small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), even people within the tech giants still feel stuck at the starting line.
That’s why I’ve created this:
30 Days of AI – From Newbie to Ninja, a daily series running throughout June 2025.
Each day, I’ll share one clear, practical step to help you unlock AI for real business impact; no coding required, no hype, and no technical overwhelm.
🎯 Who is this for?
This series is for:
- SME/SMB leaders and teams who want to get smarter with time, data, and customers.
- Creators, marketers, operators, and founders who wear too many hats.
- Anyone who’s curious about AI but doesn’t know where to start.
If you’ve ever said or thought: “I keep hearing about AI, but I don’t know what to do with it…” Then this is your roadmap.
Target audience: Business owners, SMEs, digital leads, marketers, and operations managers.
🛠️ What You’ll Get (Daily)
- One bite-sized concept (clear, jargon-free)
- One real-world business use case
- One no-code tool to try in under 10 minutes
- A Notion journal prompt to track your transformation
You don’t need to commit hours each day. Most of this can be done over a cup of coffee (or tea – my preference).
Daily post structure:
- Hook: Problem statement or opportunity
- Lesson: What’s today’s key concept
- Example/Demo: Real-world tool or business case
- Action: What to try today
- Output: What success looks like
