“Optimize. Automate. Delegate”
As Tersh worked his way up through the trades, he was learning quickly that he hated repetitive tasks. Naturally, this evolved into a true love for automation. After building eight different companies in the trades as well as several others, he’s spent many years finding new ways to develop and implement automation into businesses. With the rise of AI, Tersh has had many new tools to play around with — and play he has!

Gold In, Gold Out
As with anything, if you put trash into AI, you’re getting trash out. But the opposite is true! If you optimize a task and put in a good prompt to your AI of choice, chances are you’re getting some gold out of it. Tersh suggests looking at any task you do more than twice a week, optimizing it, and then figuring out how to automate it. The best part? You can just ask a tool like ChatGPT how to do that. In fact, you can even ask it the best way to ask it how.
If you aren’t leveraging automation and AI for your business, you’re already falling behind. Tersh gives a ton of easy ways to start in this episode, so don’t let that go to waste! NO. ZERO. DAYS.
