About this listen

Small businesses aren’t failing because they’re bad at what they do. They’re failing because they’re ignoring the biggest shift in business since the internet — and pretending AI “doesn’t apply to them.”

This book fixes that… with zero jargon, zero hype, and plenty of sarcasm.

Stop Doing Dumb S#!t is the no-BS guide every small business owner, operator, and leader needs to finally understand AI, automation, and modern technology — without feeling overwhelmed, talked down to, or forced into buying some overpriced “AI-in-a-box” software you’ll never use.

This book shows you how to use AI to save time, cut costs, reduce chaos, improve customer experience, and avoid becoming the next business obituary.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

•Identify which AI tools actually matter (and which are hot garbage)

•Automate everyday tasks that drain your time and patience

•Stop making the top 10 rookie mistakes small businesses make with technology

•Choose the right problem to automate first

•Make your team less terrified of AI (even the stubborn ones)

•Compete with bigger companies without burning money you don’t have

What this book is NOT:

•A technical manual

•A hype-filled “AI will replace us all” manifesto

•Another book written for Fortune 500 companies (who have more people in IT than you have employees)

What this book IS:

•A practical guide for real small businesses

•A blueprint to get started with AI the right way

•A snarky, honest, real-world manual for owners who don’t have time for fluff

•A roadmap to automate the stuff you hate doing anyway

You don’t need a data scientist. You don’t need a “digital transformation.” You don’t need a six-figure software budget.

You just need this book — and the willingness to stop doing dumb S#!t.

If you run a business with fewer than 50 employees and want to finally understand how AI can help you grow, streamline operations, and not get left behind… start here.
