Now we're gonna switch to AI for business and entrepreneurs. So to my business and entrepreneurs out there, are you using AI? Business owners. The AI tools are endless. The first tool that's a great AI tool for business and entrepreneurs is Canva AI. Canva has magic design and magic right. You can make flyers, thumbnails, and even social posts in minutes with Canva. Now I use Canva without the AI, but it does have the AI tool that can come in handy if you want a specific image for business owners out there. Number two, it's gonna be copyai slash jasper. If you spend time writing ad copy or doing your marketing trying to think, this is gonna write ad copy that converts emails that get clicks or blog posts that you can do in half the time from copyai slash jasper. This is very, very beneficial to a business owner or entrepreneur by having this, you know, on your team as a part of your AI team for marketing. Because you know, marketing people they come at you all the time, and they probably actually using this for your ads. Copy AI and Jasper. If you're small, you're trying to scale in the future, you're starting small, definitely check this out for your business and see if you can get emails that are more engaging, more interactive, and just clean all around. Just clean things up in the business mindset. Now, number three is a tool that I really, really love. I mean, it saves me so much time with my podcast, with taking video and turning it into audio for the podcast. You can also do so much more than that, but the script edits podcasts by edit typing. You can delete by just um, you can delete parts of the video by removing the word. So if you can type, you can edit the video on the script. It's a small learning curve, but I really think you guys should check that out. If you want to get it into podcasting, like for instance, I could turn this video right now into just a voice video in seconds with DScript. It's going to take my words and, you know, translate them. I can delete the umms and all the unnecessary words out in minutes because it can delete those extra words with the click of a button. Definitely check out DScript. I love DScript. Our next tool for business and entrepreneurship is going to be Otter AI. Now, this is a tool that can record your meetings and streams and get transcripts instantly. Otter AI. If you're a student, this can also be super beneficial for note taking. Now, I can imagine being a student nowadays because they probably just super, super like laid back and have no idea what a student is back in the day. You got AI recording your notes, you got AI making flashcards. I mean, it's time-saving, like, it's amazing. So don't let AI be a tool that you're afraid of. Use it to your advantage in personal and in business. In your journey with entrepreneurship, even if you are a creator in any social media, use it. See how we can help you grow and scale faster. Because the word for hoodhood is scaling. We're trying to scale up. We're not trying to play it small. If they can do it, I can do it. If we if he can do it, I can do it. The next one is Zapier slash make. So these automate when someone books an appointment, it can send them a custom email or upload a reminder to your calendar. This is great for the service business out there, any type of business, you know, photographer, any kind of business, your chef, it doesn't really matter. Zapier is gonna make those automations for you. So you don't have to say, okay, someone just subscribed. Let me go and send them this. And many of the email lists do this automatically as well.

Today is just really introducing you to some of the tools and just giving you the opportunity to download just one that you find interesting. If you don't use any, just one. And if you do use AI already, it's just helping you maybe find a new tool today to use for your business and personal growth. Last one, I absolutely love, especially for when I was writing my book, to help my grammar or if I'm even with my notes. This is part of dental too, because I use Grammarly a little bit too to help me create and sound professional without overthinking it too much. Because it corrects your grammar. It's amazing. You can put it on your phone when you're typing. And some people say, oh, it's just gonna make me dumb. No, it's gonna help you think of other words than what you're using every day. It's gonna help you think outside of the box and you know, grow in every area. So you can sound professional without overthinking it. Create a clip. If you can't afford a marketing team, AI is your team, guys. Your excuses are expensive. I mean, your excuses are expensive, but AI is cheap, AI is cheap. Use it grammarly. When I was in the process of creating this manuscript, which is not out yet, and it is 30 chapters, and I was in the process of taking my writing off a paper, putting it into the computer, and then when I got it into the computer, I had to edit it all, and it's still not completely edited, but I had to use Grammarly to help me, you know, kind of edit this book. Sometimes it could take away your natural tone, but you just have to watch it and read it. You know, so if you're trying to edit something, grammarly is the way to go. Long as you write it, it's still authentic. It's just the editor. Those are AI tools that you can use for business and entrepreneurship. Canva AI for magic design and writing, copy AI for your marketing team and Jasper for your marketing team. Descript if you want to do podcasts and turn uh video podcasts and turn it into voice. It does so much more in edit. Otter AI to record those meetings and streams so you don't gotta sit here and take notes. Okay. Zapier to automate some of your tasks in your business when clients sign up for things.
