AI-Powered Small Business Growth
How Australian small businesses save time, cut cost and grow, using AI you can actually start on Monday. Seven live demonstrations in my own businesses, including the one where it gets things confidently wrong.
Five sentences I hear every single week
If any of these is yours, you are exactly who the session is built for.
I'm not an AI expert. I run businesses.
I'm Anit Patel, a small business coach and AI strategist, and the bloke who had to work out where this stuff actually saves you time and money.
Five years at McKinsey & Company as an engagement lead and executive coach, a year coaching executives at Commonwealth Bank, and an ICF certification. That's the credentialled half, and it's the half that matters least tonight.
The half that matters: I run four Australian businesses, and every one of them has too much admin, not enough hours, and no budget for another person. For two years I've been testing AI inside them. This session is what survived, and I'll show you the failures too.
Six areas of your business. A live demo in every one.
Every small business has the same six areas, and nobody is good at all of them. You'll score yours during the session, circle the two costing you the most, and watch AI work in all six before you decide anything.
Planning, competitor reads, pressure-testing the decisions you make at 11pm on your own.
One Australian rule it gets confidently, fluently, completely wrong, so you know exactly where the line is. Nobody selling you an AI course shows you this bit.
Four things you'll leave with, plus your questions answered
Then live Q&A for as long as there are questions. Most people say that part was worth the ninety minutes on its own.
What it is, what it is not, and the only six words of jargon that matter, in plain English, in about ten minutes.
What to use, what to pay, what to ignore, and the five rules that keep you out of trouble under Australian law.
Score your six areas, circle the two costing you most, and watch a live demonstration in every single one.
One task, one tool, one week, written down before you close the tab. Not a reading list.
What's in, what isn't, and who it's for
Come and watch it work
One session, live, with the chat open the whole way through. Put your business in the chat and I'll run the prompt on it in front of everyone. A recording can't do that, so I don't make one.
Save your seat
By registering you're asking us to email you the joining link and reminders for this session, and the workbook afterwards. Unsubscribe any time. We don't share your details with anyone.
Questions, answered straight
Anything else, put it in the chat on the night. No question is too basic.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Free to attend, no card, nothing to buy on the night. Near the end I spend about three minutes on how I can help further. I flag it before I make it, and you're completely free to ignore it.
Will there be a recording or a replay?+
No. Not a scarcity tactic, the session is built around taking real businesses out of the chat and running prompts on them live. That doesn't exist as a video. If you can't be there, register for the next date instead.
Do I need to be technical?+
No. If you can write an email and use a browser, you're over the bar. You don't need to become technical, you need to become practical.
Do I have to pay for an AI tool first?+
No. Most of the demonstrations run on a free account, and I'll tell you honestly when a paid tier is worth it and when it isn't, in Australian dollars.
Is this relevant to my industry?+
Almost certainly. The demos come from home care, construction, hospitality and marketing, but the six areas are the same whether you run a physio practice, a bakery or a plumbing business. Put your industry in the chat and I'll run one on it live.
Is my business too small for this?+
If it's just you, this is arguably more useful, not less, you're the one with no admin support. Sole traders and businesses with fifty staff both get value.
What about my client data, is any of this safe?+
A whole section is about exactly that: what never goes into a free tool, why free and paid tiers differ legally, and the check that keeps you on the right side of the privacy regulator and Australian Consumer Law.
What do I need in front of me?+
A laptop or tablet if you can, you'll get more out of it by trying things as we go. Phone is fine if that's what you've got. The workbook is emailed to you before we start.
You can't act on something you've never seen work.
Ninety minutes, live, free. Bring one job you're sick of doing and we'll fix it on the call. Thursday 9 October 2026 · 7:00pm – 8:30pm AEDT.
