AI for Women Entrepreneurs: Get Ready or Get Left Behind – One Task at a Time

AI is no longer optional—it’s already reshaping business, and those who don’t adapt risk falling behind. “Your company won’t go out of business because of AI. It will go out of business because another company is using AI.” But here’s the good news: you’re not too late. The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The next best time? Today.

Right now, most businesses on Vancouver Island aren’t ready, and that’s a serious problem—but also a huge opportunity. Women entrepreneurs, in particular, are uniquely positioned to succeed in this AI-driven shift. Our strengths in communication, problem-solving, and adaptability make AI a natural fit—but only if we embrace it. The playing field is leveling, and those who take action now will have the edge.

This session is your shortcut to getting started—one task at a time. Learn how to identify the “vampire tasks” draining your time and energy, discover practical ways AI can handle them for you, and develop the AI intuition you need to stay ahead. No tech background required—just curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and a fresh perspective on what’s possible.

You'll learn:
✅ Why AI matters for your business (and why ignoring it is risky)
✅ How to “get your business ready” for what’s coming
✅ Quick & simple ways to start using ChatGPT today
✅ How to develop AI intuition (or build your AI muscle)
