Every tool comes with a “skip it if…” test.
Decide what earns its place before you pay for it.

Three places to start

Pick the job. Then test the tool.

Already running a business? Start with a recurring task. Still planning? Practise with made-up business details.

01 / Marketing

Draft the next post.

Build a short voice guide and a repeatable brief. Check the facts and tone before anything goes live.

02 / Customer follow-up

Know what to say next.

Draft follow-ups with clear limits on promises, timing and when to stop. Keep a person responsible for sending.

03 / Admin

Test the repeat work.

Try a task from your back office. Count the checking and corrections, then decide whether AI earns its place.

Read before you buy

Try a real exercise.

From Chapter 13, The Software Payroll. Start by checking what you already pay for.

Book excerpt · Chapter 13

Do this Friday

Friday is the first hour of the audit, not a rushed two-hour cancellation spree. Use 35 minutes to sweep and 25 minutes to begin verdicts; complex exports, cancellations, contract notice, dependency tracing, remaining verdicts, and card work get their own scheduled follow-up blocks.

  1. Sweep every payment channel (35 min) across thirteen months (or a verified recurring-payment report with the same reach), list every software line, write the ×12 column.
  2. Begin the verdicts (25 min): Keep / Prove / Exit. Say each tool's one-sentence job out loud; hesitation is data. Stop at the hour and schedule the unfinished rows. For a tool only a teammate uses, get their sentence before you verdict: the dispatcher's answer counts, not your guess at it.
  3. Schedule the Exits: reserve a follow-up block with enough time to open, count, and sample the export; test restore/import where supported and material, or rehearse the clean-account reconstruction; back up; and obtain named-owner sign-off before cancellation. In that block, follow contract terms, provide required written notice, complete the in-app cancellation flow where applicable, and calendar the effective deadline. Expect the cancel-flow gauntlet (the discount offer, the guilt screen); your card on file was the product, and leaving is usually the feature they made hardest.
  4. Schedule the Proves. Reserve a separate follow-up block for each Chapter 10 probation card and day-30 review; the five card fields and their exit/data proof do not fit inside Friday's first hour.
  5. Calendar next quarter's triage (two hours, thirteen weeks out), the separate two-hour learning budget, and every remediation block your hours-and-fees columns exposed. Then close the laptop only after each open repair has an owner and date. The cadence is enough to find the work; the repair time is measured separately.

Complete exercise from the saved September 4, 2026 manuscript. Wording unchanged; layout adapted. The ×12 column converts monthly charges to yearly costs. Chapter 10’s probation cards are in the full book.

Before you decide

A few straight answers.

What exactly do I get?

One EPUB ebook by Mind with Tools: 14 chapters, appendices, worked examples, exercises, worksheets and dated source notes. Gumroad handles the purchase and download.

Do I need coding skills or a paid AI tool?

No coding is required to read the book. Some workflows need setup or separate paid services; those fees are not included in the book price.

Will this help if I haven’t started my business yet?

You can practise with fictional enquiries and draft business materials before launch. The book focuses on using AI in small-business work; it is not a complete guide to starting a business.

Can I read it on my phone?

Yes, with a compatible EPUB reading app. You can also use an EPUB reader on a tablet or computer.

Does it promise more sales or hours saved?

It gives you a method and checks for testing AI, without promising a result. Your results depend on the task, the tool and the time you spend checking it.

What about refunds?

Review the current seller refund policy and checkout terms on Gumroad before paying. This page does not add a separate guarantee.
