A project seemed perfect. Good money.
Seemed like the right project to take.
But it turned into a nightmare.
Data access problems. System integrations. Endless scope creep.
Nothing to do with Strategic AI.
It was web scraping and browser automation.
I spent too much time working around terms of use and fighting blockers.
Here's what that situation taught me:
Most people think AI means doing the same work faster.
That's not Strategic AI. That's a Band-Aid.
A Harvard study found that 76% of companies are stuck in AI pilot purgatory.
The 76% stuck in pilot purgatory?
They're chasing every "AI" project instead of focusing on what matters.
The 24% who escape? They know the difference.
The only thing you need to focus on right now:
Ask yourself: "Am I using AI to change how I work, or am I doing the same work faster?"
If you're manually creating reports, scheduling meetings, or doing research the old way with AI "helping" you, you're missing the bigger opportunity.
Here's how to think differently:
Don't optimize your current process. Eliminate it.
Don't make your manual work 20% faster. Make it disappear.
The THINK Framework:
Task: What manual work are you trying to eliminate?
Hypothesis: How can strategic AI transform how you work?
Invest: Does this align with eliminating time?
Network: How does this compound your goals?
Knowledge: What will this teach you about working differently?
That project was a blessing.
It showed me what to say no to.
That's why I'm working on something new, the THINK Accelerator.
To help people rethink how they use AI Assistants and existing tools that create more leverage and eliminate manual work in the process.
No more random AI pilots. No more doing the same work faster.
Just focused strategic AI for people who want to do more and work less.
If you want to learn more about THINK Accelerator, you can visit this link. I’ll offer special pricing for those who join the waitlist.
I'll share more in the future as I get closer to making it available to the first 20 people.
I have a challenge for you.
Pick ONE manual task you do every week that takes at least 2 hours.
Don't pick the easy one. Pick the one that makes you groan when you see it on your calendar.
Now ask yourself: "How would I do this if I had to start completely over and could only use my existing tools?"
Not "How can I make this 20% faster?"
But "How would I eliminate this completely?"
That's the difference between the 76% stuck in pilot purgatory and the 24% who escape.
What 15+ hours of manual work are you ready to eliminate this week?
