# Get 5+ hours a week back. For local business owners. Without becoming the AI expert yourself. You don't have time to figure out where AI fits. Start with the free 2-minute quiz. Your AI Scorecard shows what stage your business is at, and the next move to make. Two ways in: - **Get My Free AI Scorecard** — a 2-minute quiz, no call. - **Skip ahead: Book My Assessment** — the $999 45-minute AI Assessment. ## At a glance - **$999** — one-time assessment - **45 min** — recorded discovery call - **3-7** — specific moves to start with - **5+ hrs** — a week back, or refund One recorded call in. A custom shortlist and 4-day plan out. If the plan doesn't free up at least 5 hours a week, you get every dollar back. ## The real problem **Generic AI advice cannot see your business.** You know AI can probably help. So you sign up for ChatGPT, watch a few YouTube videos, get sent a "10 AI Tools Every Business Needs" listicle, download three apps. Two weeks later you've opened none of them, and the quote you've been meaning to write is still sitting there. The problem was never that you didn't try. The problem is that nobody has sat down and looked at _your_ business. Generic advice can't tell you that your front-desk team loses 4 hours a week to appointment reminders, or which of the 500 tools fixes that — and which 497 are a waste of your Saturday. The Owner's Method is the missing instructions. Not a list of tools — a short sequence for your week, your team, and your budget. I look at how your business actually runs, then hand you the specific tools and the specific steps. The exact three to five things, in the order you do them. ## How it works Three steps. About a week, start to finish. The hard part isn't the AI — it's the picking. 1. **The 45-minute recorded call.** You walk me through a normal week. Where does the time go? What gets done late? What do you dread? No prep, no homework, no forms — just talk me through yesterday. The call is recorded, and that recording is the raw material for everything that comes next. 2. **Your 3-to-7 shortlist.** I look at how your business actually runs — the processes, the team, the bottlenecks you named — and map it against 500-plus tools and automations. The shortlist of 3 to 7 has to fit your workflows, your team size, and your budget. The other 490-plus get ruled out. On purpose. 3. **Your report and walkthrough.** A custom report: your shortlist of 3 to 7 specific moves, why each made the cut, and a 4-day quick-start plan for what to set up Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Then a 30-minute walkthrough — ask anything before you start. By the end, you know exactly where to begin. 500+ tools mapped against your week. 5 picked. The 490-plus that don't fit get ruled out, on purpose. ## Track record **I used this method inside a $100M homebuilder.** Before this, I helped build Fields Residential — more than $100 million in new-construction homes, with a team of five. We were obsessed with one question: what here is a person doing by hand that a tool could do faster? Then we'd build it. Raising investor money went from days of calls and paperwork to one button. Writing a contract went from hours to minutes. That is the whole method. The assessment is me pointing it at your business instead of mine. - **$100M+** in new-construction homes - **5** people ran the whole company ## Who it's for Built for one specific person: the owner of a local service business with roughly 10 to 50 people — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, landscaping, dental, law, accounting, auto repair, a real estate team. The businesses that keep a town running and have no time to keep up with 500 AI tools. **This is for you if:** - You run a local service business with about 10 to 50 people. - You've already tried ChatGPT or an app or two and gotten nowhere. - You want a specific answer for your business, not a category to "explore." - You'd rather have a short list you'll actually use than a long one you won't. **This is not for you if:** - You're a solo operator with no team to hand tasks to yet. - You want a big enterprise "AI transformation" with a six-month timeline. - You want someone to run it all for you — this hands you the plan, you run it. - You're not willing to spend the first 4 days setting things up. Big AI consulting firms skip right past a business your size. The $150K full-time AI hire is out of reach. That's the gap The Owner's Method was built to fill. ## The offer **The 45-Minute AI Assessment — $999, one time. No retainer, no subscription.** What you get for the $999: - A 45-minute recorded discovery call - A full AI transcript analysis against 500-plus tools - A custom report with your shortlist of 3 to 7 specific moves - A 4-day quick-start plan: exactly what to do, in order - A 30-minute walkthrough call to answer every question The math, plainly: most stacks land between $40 and $200 a month, depending on the mix. The 4-day plan buys back 5+ hours every week. Put an hourly value on your time (owner's time, not minimum wage) and that's roughly a 5x to 15x return on the stack cost — every month, starting the first week. **5+ hours a week back, or a full refund.** Not "we'll identify some opportunities." A real outcome, or your money back. No consultant in this space puts a promise like that on the table. ## FAQ **Q:** $999 for a 45-minute call? That sounds steep. **A:** It's not 45 minutes. It's a recorded call, a full transcript analysis against 500-plus tools, a custom report, a 4-day plan, and a 30-minute walkthrough. The 45-minute call is just the part where you talk. And the guarantee means you only keep the $999 if you get 5+ hours a week back. **Q:** Couldn't I just do this myself with all the free content out there? **A:** You could. But the free content is why you're here: you've read the listicles, you've tried the apps, and Monday morning still looks the same. The free content can't see your business. This can. **Q:** We've tried ChatGPT and it didn't stick. Why is this different? **A:** ChatGPT is one tool with no instructions. This is someone looking at your actual workflows and handing you the specific 3 to 7 moves and the exact 4-day plan to set them up. The problem was never the tool. It was the missing instructions. **Q:** What if AI isn't the answer for some of what we do? **A:** Then I'll tell you that. If part of your work shouldn't be touched by AI yet, that goes in the report too. You're paying for a straight answer, not a sales pitch for software. **Q:** How fast can we start? **A:** Book the call, and the whole thing — call, report, walkthrough — usually wraps inside a week. The 4-day plan starts the Monday after. **Q:** What if it doesn't work for us? **A:** If the plan doesn't free up at least 5 hours a week, you get a full refund. $999 back, no argument. ## Next step You don't have an AI problem. You have a "where do I start" problem. One 45-minute call fixes that. Ready to stop guessing? Book the assessment — or, not ready to book, start with the free 2-minute Scorecard. No call, no card.
