AI-Powered Advice for Small Business
Want to run a better business? You don’t need more hours or more staff, just smarter systems.
Hi i'm colette kemp...
I’ve been using AI daily since December 2022, right after ChatGPT launched...
And I quickly realized that the world of small business would never be the same.
With the right systems, I could do the work of myself plus two to three assistants.
Now, I help small business owners do the same: automating repetitive work, freeing up time and improving the customer experience, which in turn increases sales and profit.
Whether you’ve been in business for 20 years or you’re just getting started, now’s the time to bring AI into the mix to create a company that has less
By leveraging AI, you can streamline operations, reduce costs, and build a business that runs smoother—giving you the freedom to focus on growth, innovation, or just taking a well-earned break.
I'm not talking about replacing your people; I see these tools as a way to improve your employees' experience working at your business. Imagine if they can have access to tools to make their jobs easier and not have to come to you for everything. Wouldn't that be great for you and them?
It’s a powerful shift in how we approach small business operations.
I previously built a blue-collar service business.
I built the team, managed the chaos, and scaled a mid–seven–figure business from the ground up. Early on, I figured out how to integrate technology in a very traditional paper-driven indust, so I know firsthand the value of implementing tools to help you run a more efficient business.

[This means you help people to value and sell their businesses.]
What has stood out through that process of helping owners to value and prepare their businesses for sale, was how many businesses were simply unsellable. I learned that only 20% of businesses that go to market ever sell and the more businesses I analysed the more I realized why.
One reason is that most businesses rely heavily on their owners and lack proper systems. Owners often juggle multiple roles but only pay themselves for one, skewing cash flow. When it’s time to sell, this owner-dependence exposes operational gaps and a need for increased payroll, reducing the business’s value despite the owner’s hard work.
The solution is to build a business that does not depend on you and has systems and processes that employees can manage... now with AI this is becoming much easier for owners to accomplish.
