Key Takeaways
Save Your Prompts: When you find a prompt that works, it becomes a business asset. Save it in your AI Library.
AI is a Sculptor’s Block: It doesn’t give you a finished statue; it gives you the raw marble. Your job is to chip away until it reflects your voice.
The Frictionless Capture: Use Otter.ai and dictation to remove the gap between a thought and a record.
Brief Yourself First: The quality of the output is directly proportional to the clarity of your own intent before you ever open a tool.

The Solopreneur Challenge
This week, Susan challenges you to do 3 things:
Set up your folders: Create AI Active, AI Workflow, AI Library, and AI Vault in your cloud drive today.
Choose One Task: Don’t Master the whole list. Pick one tool (like Lumo or Claude) and apply it to one real business task.
The Analogue Review: Use your physical journal to review your AI sessions. Slow down so your clarity can catch up.
