When a “new” tool comes up, we either want to get on it now, try it for a bit or steer away from it all together. But you and I both know, adapting to new things can surprise you. AI has been in the game for a while but now it's everywhere. It’s a tool that you can add to your tool box and it can be simple.
We get it, AI can feel overwhelming at first. We thought so too. Kind of felt like cheating. There are many ways you can use it, there are many platforms you can use but you should take it slowly. Listen AI doesn't have to be the be all end all or take over everything in your business but mentioned earlier, it can be a tool you can use when needed. I mean it's not like you’re going to use a hammer everyday all day, you’ll use it when needed. Most believe you have to overhaul your entire business but that's not the case.
Ready to get some ideas on how you can use AI to enhance your business? Yes, then read on!
In a recent episode of Feel Good Social and Authentic AI, Kinsey Soderberg breaks down how you can ease into AI without feeling like you’re drowning in tech talk. She gets real about the value AI brings, how to ease into using it, and why we shouldn’t feel guilty for leaning on these tools. Whether you’re a total AI beginner or just dipping your toes in, her insights make AI feel doable, practical, and actually helpful.
Start Small, Reap Big Benefits With AI Tools
Simple is best! Start with one tool and one task. It might sound simple, but when we try to add too many new tools at once, we can quickly feel overwhelmed. Instead of trying to transform every aspect of your business at once, pick one small area that feels manageable. For example, maybe you want to automate your email responses or streamline your content calendar. Find a tool that can help with just that—and take it from there.
Not only does this help you get comfortable with AI at your own pace, but it also prevents the dreaded burnout that comes from trying to do too much at once. When you start small, each success builds your confidence to try the next thing.
Two Ways to Integrate AI Smoothly into your Business
There are two easy approaches to get the most out of AI: optimize your current workflows or address your daily stress points. If you’re spending hours organizing your schedule or planning social media posts, an AI tool could save you time and free up your energy for more creative, impactful work. Optimizing these little workflows adds up fast. By focusing on your daily pressure points, you make space for the tasks that really move your business forward.
Breaking Down the Guilt Factor while using AI Tools
One of the most refreshing parts of this episode? Kinsey touches on something many of us feel but rarely talk about—the guilt that sometimes creeps in when we start using AI tools. As women in business, there’s often this unspoken pressure to do everything ourselves. But Kinsey reminds us that using AI doesn’t make us any less capable or hardworking. In fact, embracing these tools can help close the productivity gap, making it easier for women to compete on a level playing field.
Keeping Your Brand’s Voice in the Mix
When it comes to AI, staying authentic is key. Kinsey shares how you can train AI to align with your brand voice, ideal audience, and overall mission. By setting clear guidelines and refining the AI’s understanding of your brand, you can make sure that every interaction still feels true to your unique style. AI can be a powerful ally in amplifying your message without losing the authenticity that makes your brand stand out.
Ready to Dive In?
So, if you’re ready to give AI a shot but don’t know where to start, take Kinsey’s advice to heart: pick one tool, find one task, and give it a go. Don’t let the AI buzz intimidate you. Embrace the possibilities, be curious, and remember that you’re in control of how these tools fit into your business.
AI doesn’t have to be all or nothing—it can be exactly what you need it to be. So why not give it a try?
