2 Automations Every Entrepreneur Should Set Up

Most people think AI is supposed to replace their writing. But that’s wrong!

AI isn’t the writer.
You are.
AI is the assistant.

When you learn to treat AI like a creative partner instead of a content creator, everything gets easier:

Content starts sounding like you
You stop rewriting everything it gives you
You create faster — without losing your voice
Your ideas become clearer and more repeatable

And you don’t need complicated prompts to make this happen.
You just need to teach AI a few simple things.

Let’s walk through the basics.

1. Tell AI Who You Are (and who you’re talking to)

Most generic AI outputs happen because the tool has no idea who you are.

Start every project by giving AI a simple grounding:

“Here’s my voice, my values, and the type of person I’m talking to.”

Think of it like setting the scene before the writing begins.

A basic version looks like this:

“I’m a ___ who teaches ___.
My voice is ___ (friendly, direct, educational, warm).
My audience is ___ (beginners, entrepreneurs, overwhelmed professionals, etc.).
My content is meant to feel ___ (encouraging, empowering, simple, etc.).”

Even just a few lines like this completely change the output.

2. Tell AI What You Want the Reader to Feel

This is one of the most powerful — and most overlooked — parts of working with AI.

Before the words come out, decide the emotional goal.

You can say:

  • “Write this to feel encouraging.”
  • “Make it sound calm and confident.”
  • “Keep it simple and warm.”
  • “This should feel supportive, not salesy.”

AI responds beautifully to emotional direction because it shapes tone, pacing, and the kind of language it chooses.

3. Give AI a Sample of Your Real Voice

If you want AI to sound like you…
let it hear you.

You can drop in a small sample of your writing:

  • an email you’ve written
  • a blog post
  • a caption
  • even a paragraph from your About page

Then simply say:

“Use this writing style for the rest of this project.”

This alone eliminates the robotic, generic tone most people get.

4. Start with Your Ideas, Not a Blank Page

AI works best when it has your direction.

Instead of saying:
“Write me a blog post about burnout.”

Say:
“Here are my thoughts. Turn this into a blog post.”

Give it:
✔ bullet points
✔ a rough outline
✔ phrases you want included
✔ your personal take

AI doesn’t replace your ideas —
it organizes and expands them in a way that feels natural to you.

5. Your First Version Isn’t the Final Version

AI is a collaborator.
You shape the draft as you go.

Try:

  • “Make it warmer.”
  • “Shorten this section.”
  • “Add more personality.”
  • “This sounds too formal — rewrite it in a friendlier tone.”

This is how you teach AI your style over time.
Every refinement strengthens the partnership.

AI doesn’t replace you.

in your voice.

Technology is racing forward — faster than most people realize. And while AI won’t replace you, the people who know how to use AI will absolutely outpace the ones who don’t. Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time with clients in assistant and executive assistant roles, and I’m seeing the same pattern over and […]
