Where a small-business week goes, and how many hours you can get back
Where the week goes
Everybody gets the same 168 hours.
Sleep, work, family, fun, the drive home. Nobody gets a 169th hour.
Here's roughly where a small-business week goes.
Fifty-six to sleep. Fifty-two to your personal life. Thirty-eight to the work that actually pays the bills.
Twenty-two hours disappear into the same mundane tasks. Every week.
Follow-ups you meant to send. Invoices. Scheduling. Asking for reviews. Work that has to happen, and never gets any faster.
Most owners get about seven of those hours back, every week.
We go through those 22 hours, one task at a time, and ask whether a person really has to do each one. When the answer is no, I find the tool that can do it instead, and we set it up together.

About
Meet your AI partner
I'm Douglas Baker. For two years I was the primary classroom instructor for Tesla's Autopilot data-collection team in Austin — teaching groups of up to 40 people at a time, in the classroom and behind the wheel, and running the trainers who taught alongside me. More than 500 people learned the job in my class.
Almost none of them arrived technical. They left able to do the job without me. Now I bring that same hands-on approach to individuals and businesses everywhere. Whether you want to learn AI skills, automate your workflows, or systematize AI across your team — I work alongside you to make you AI-capable, not AI-dependent.
Available remotely worldwide and in-person in the Rogue Valley (Medford & Ashland, Oregon). There's no substitute for sitting down together and building something real.
