Why “learning AI” is the wrong goal...


Hey Reader,

I had coffee with a friend this morning, a brilliant woman, running her own business, doing all the things.

She looked at me over her oat milk latte and said,

“I think it’s finally time I invest in myself and learn AI.”

I smiled… but then asked,

“Okay, but why?”

She blinked. Paused. Then said, “I don’t really know. I just feel like I should?”

And that’s when I told her something I want to tell you too:

“Learning AI for the sake of learning it is a waste of your time. You don’t need to learn AI. You need to lead it.”

Because AI isn’t another skill to master.

It’s a tool. A teammate. A way to get your work done faster, better, and with more ease.

But only if you use it intentionally.

You don’t need to become an AI expert or master any tool. You just need to know what you want done, and guide AI to help you do it.

That’s the mindset shift.

3 reasons to stop “learning AI” and start leading it

1. You already know your business.

You don’t need to learn prompts or platforms for the sake of it. You just need AI to support the work you already know how to do - like writing newsletters, outlining offers, and posting to social, for example.

2. The tools are evolving faster than you can keep up.

Even I can’t stay on top of every AI update, and this is my job!

The good news is that you really don’t need to.

You only need to master the small slice of AI that helps you:

  • Create marketing content in minutes
  • Stay consistent online
  • Show up with less stress and more strategy

3. You belong in your zone of genius.

You didn’t start your business to become a full-time content creator or prompt engineer.

You started to serve, lead, and grow. Let AI help you get there without stealing your time and energy.

Let’s ditch the pressure to “keep up” and focus on using AI in a way that supports your goals.

Hey Reader, There is so much going on in the AI space and it is practically impossible to keep up with it as we get into 2026. I work in AI full time and cannot keep up with the pace; so, I recommend you don't even try to. Is that a relief? :) The one thing we do need to know, accept and embrace is that in 2026, generative AI will become a core - even "native" might I say - part of how we run our business, create content, and connect with our audience. To give you a high-level overview of...
