AI still feels like lipstick on a pig.
You are using it. You are getting results. But the results sound generic, feel hollow and a bit like everyone else’s content, and it takes almost as long to fix the results as it would have to write yourself. So you keep going , because everyone says this is the future , and you quietly wonder why it is not working for you the way it seems works for everyone else.
It is not the tool. It is the foundation underneath it.
Without your brand voice, your ideal client defined at depth, and the CEO mindset that tells AI exactly who it is working for, it has no choice but to give you the most average version of your business.
That is not a prompt problem. That is a foundation problem.
The AI for Small Business Program builds that foundation first. It is called the Summit CEO framework, OH… And it is the thing every other AI course skipped.
From Overwhelmed to Unstoppable
Your competitors are using the same prompts you found on Instagram. They are getting the same generic output. They are rewriting it themselves and posting it anyway — hoping nobody notices it sounds like everyone else.
Well, they do notice.
The businesses standing out right now are not using better tools. They are using AI differently with a foundation their competitors skipped. Brand voice locked. Ideal client defined at depth. A CEO mindset that tells AI exactly who it is working for and what standard of work is acceptable.
That is the difference between AI that produces and AI that performs.
Your business has a voice. Your clients have specific problems. Your standards are not average. Your AI should reflect all three — on the first pass, every time.
That is what the Summit CEO framework builds.
Why Women Actually Transform in This Program
Most AI courses fail you before you ever open the first module.
Not because the content is wrong. Because it starts in the wrong place. It assumes you already know your brand voice, your ideal clients, and more importantly, how to think like a CEO. It hands you tools for a foundation you have not built yet — and when the results are mediocre, you blame yourself instead of the sequence.
You are not behind. You are not bad at this. You have just been handed the roof before anyone built the walls. A solid foundation is EVERYTHING. Most women skip this part because it’s not sexy! I get it.
You are smart. You are accomplished. You have built something real and you know AI should be working harder for your business than it currently is. You are not looking for a course to hold your hand through the basics. You are looking for the missing piece that makes everything you are already doing actually work.
That is exactly what this program is built for.
The Summit CEO framework starts where every other AI program skips — with the foundation that makes the tools perform. By the time you open your first prompt inside this program, AI already knows who you are and becomes your most senior team lead and trusted .

What Clients Say
Real Results from My Businesses:
Fleet Insurance Comparison (Logistics Business) Before AI: 2 hours of line-by-line, VIN-by-VIN comparison After AI: Under 1 minute with a custom GPT Result: Caught vehicles we were being charged for that we no longer owned, saved thousands in unnecessary insurance costs
Driver Route Analysis (Logistics Business)
Before AI: 30 minutes going through rosters to identify specialty drivers and routes After AI: Under 1 minute with detailed reports Result: Better scheduling, clearer payroll, more efficient operations
Content Creation (Photography Business) Before AI: Hours each week on social media, newsletters, client communications After AI: Week's worth of content in under an hour, newsletters planned 52 weeks out Result: Consistent brand presence while spending 10 days in Paris, business kept running without me
The Bottom Line: I got back 10-15 hours every single week. That's over 600 hours a year. What would you do with that time?
“I used to use ChatGPT like a glorified search engine and now it is the most powerful member of my team”. - Kim
“Before the class, I had never even signed into ChatGPT, and now it helps me plan and create my social media for my photography business”. - Tiffany
“I used to spend over $1,000.00 a month with a social media manager and still have to re-write a lot of my copy to talk directly to my ideal clients. Now, I have trained AI to know my brand voice and tone and it creates my social media content in minutes, like I spent hours creating content”. - Victoria
ABOUT
Why I Built This — And Why I Get Exactly Where You Are
I am not a tech person who learned AI and built a course around it.
I am a businesswoman who has built three businesses in the last 9 years, including a logistics company my husband and I started on August 3rd, 2020 with just 14 employees and $30,000. By December 31st of that same year we had crossed a million dollars in revenue. By 2023 we were doing eight figures in combined revenue with over 120 employees operating 24 hours a day, 363 days a year.
Running a business at that scale teaches you things no course ever could. You learn that you cannot be the bottleneck. You learn that systems are not optional! They are the only reason anything works when you are not in the room. You learn that leverage is not a luxury. It is the entire game.
Then in January 2025, my daughter needed me. My grandson needed me. Three days a week, eight to ten hours a day I stepped back from the daily operations of everything I had built.
And I felt it immediately.
Not because the businesses fell apart. They didn't. Because I realized how much of my mental bandwidth was still being consumed by tasks that should not have required me at all.
That is when I went all-in on learning AI — not as a curiosity, but as an operator. I trained it to write in my voice. To manage content. To draft newsletters. To run analyses in my logistics business that previously took two hours and now take under a minute. I used and tested it in my photography business and our logistics business. Sales, marketing, social media, customer experience, administration and more.
The shift was not gradual. It was immediate. And it was not about the tool. It was about knowing how to direct it, with the same CEO precision I had spent the last 8 years developing across my businesses.
In October 2025 I spent eight days in France doing creative work. Both businesses kept running. Content went out. Clients were served. Employees were paid. Nothing dropped.
That is not a fantasy. That is what happens when your AI is trained the way your best team member is trained — to know your voice, your clients, your standards, and your vision.
I built the AI for Small Business Program because every small business owner I worked with in my branding photography business struggled. I talked to so many other business owners on the service based business side and logistics. They were either not using it at all, gave up using it out of frustration, or at best, getting mediocre results and blaming themselves for it.
They did not have a tool problem. They had a foundation problem.
I have spent the last year and a half building businesses that run without me. Now I teach you how to build an AI team that does the same.
This is not theoretical. This is exactly what I do, in three businesses, every single day.

AI for Small Business Program
THE AI FOR SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM
12 months. Real implementation. Actual transformation.
This is not a course you buy, finish, and quietly wonder why nothing changed. This is not a template pack you download and never open again. This is 12 months of working alongside me to integrate AI into your business the way a Summit CEO integrates a high-performing team member. Not a task executor. Not a search engine with a friendlier interface. A real, trained extension of your business that knows your voice, your clients, and the standard of work you actually accept.
You are getting the system I built for an eight-figure logistics company and a photography business that runs whether I am there or not. More than that, you are getting the system I built because I watched extraordinary women, my personal branding clients especially, walk away with stunning images and no idea what to do with them. I listened to one-woman teams trying to do the job of five people and slowly burning out. I could hand them a fish. Or I could teach them to fish. I chose the latter.
What you are about to enter was designed specifically for the woman running her own business, solo or with a small team, who knows she is meant for more and is done accepting AI output that sounds like everyone else.
Here is how the 12 months are built.
MODULES 1, 2 & 3: THE SUMMIT CEO FOUNDATION
Weeks 1 through 3
Everything you build in this program rests on what happens in the first three weeks. We start here because the foundation is the difference between AI that produces and AI that performs.
Module 1 is Summit CEO. The identity shift. The seat you sit in when you open AI. Most women approach the tool from an employee mindset, accepting whatever it hands back and quietly rewriting the output themselves. Summit CEO closes that gap. You stop being polite with AI. You start directing it the way you direct your best hire.
Module 2 is your Brand Voice. The way you actually talk. The way you sound when you are on the phone with a client you love. The phrases that are uniquely yours. We capture it, we document it, and we load it into AI. From this point forward, your AI knows who is doing the talking.
Module 3 is your Ideal Customer Avatar, built at the level that actually changes how AI responds to you. Not "women 50 plus." Not "people who want results." A specific human being with specific language, specific challenges, and specific reasons she chose you. The depth we go to in this module is the reason one of my clients had her ICA fully defined in 15 minutes after spending two years trying to nail it in other programs.
By the end of week three, the foundation is poured. Everything that follows is built on it.
MODULES 4 THROUGH 8: STRATEGIC AI INTEGRATION
Weeks 4 through 8
Now you learn how to use the foundation.
This is where you meet The Recipe, my 9-part methodology for building prompts that produce A-plus output on the first pass. Most AI education stops at "act as a marketer and write me a caption." That gets you a C-grade result you spend 40 minutes editing. The Recipe gets you the result you actually wanted, the first time, in less time than it would have taken to write it yourself.
You learn role stacking. You learn how to direct an AI team with the same precision a Summit CEO uses with a real team. You learn how to build content systems, email frameworks, and client communication structures that hold up across your business without eating your week.
Module 8 is where you build your own Board of Directors. The capstone of the foundational modules. The piece that takes everything you have built up to this point and elevates how you make the bigger strategic decisions in your business.
Every module comes with workbooks, templates, prompt systems, and recorded classes so you can move at your pace. You will not be doing this alone, and you will not be guessing what comes next.
WEEKLY LIVE Q&A CALLS, EVERY SINGLE WEEK FOR 12 MONTHS
This is where implementation actually happens. Live weekly Zoom calls with me.
You bring what you are working on right now. The email sequence that isn't landing. The captions that still don't sound like you. The client onboarding doc that has been half-finished for a month. We work it. Live. With me, with The Recipe, and with a room full of women building the same thing you are. I also drop in Loom videos for updates and areas we may not have been able to solve during the live Zoom.
The calls are recorded so you can catch up when life gets loud. But the women who show up live get something the recordings cannot fully capture, which is watching another business owner solve a problem you didn't know you were about to have. Half of the wins in this program happen because someone else asked a question first.
THE COMMUNITY
You are not building this in isolation. You are inside a group of photographers, coaches, consultants, designers, real estate agents, salon owners, lawyers, interior designers, and service-based business owners who get it. Women who are doing the work and not pretending it is easy. Women who believe, like Roosevelt, that the credit belongs to the one in the arena.
You will get ideas you would not have had alone. You will see what is possible because someone else just built it. And you will stop feeling like the only one who hasn't cracked the code, because the code was never the point. The foundation was.
DIRECT ACCESS TO ME
Not a chatbot. Not a junior coach. Me via Zoom in our wekly calls.. For 12 months. When something stops making sense, you reach out. When you hit a wall, we work through it. When you need to pivot, we strategize.
That access is the part of this program no one else in the AI education space offers, and it is the reason transformations happen here that simply do not happen inside a self-paced course.
ONGOING TECH UPDATES
AI moves fast. New tools launch. Features change. Old workflows break. I do the testing. I do the filtering. I figure out what actually matters for a small business and what is noise dressed up as innovation. You get the updates that move your business forward. You skip the rabbit hole.
WORKBOOKS, TEMPLATES, AND SYSTEMS
You are not starting from a blank page. You inherit the exact frameworks, email templates, content calendars, role stacks, and prompt systems I use to run an eight-figure logistics company, a photography business, and this program. You plug them in, you adapt them to your voice, and you build forward from there.
You are not reinventing anything. You are stepping into a working system built by a woman who has actually built one.
YOUR INVESTMENT
Now through September: $1,495 for the full 12 months. That works out to a cup of coffee a day from the local coffee house.
Beginning October 1st: $1,995 for the full 12 months.
If something shifted for you while reading this, that shift is the reason the price is going up. The women joining now are joining at the founding rate. The women joining October 1st will not be looking back wondering if they should have moved sooner. They will have already made the decision.
The seat is open. The summit is yours when you are ready to climb.
Your Questions, Answered
You Probably Have Questions. Let's Answer Them.
Q: How is this different from other AI courses out there?
A: Most AI courses teach you tools. This teaches you to think strategically about AI integration into your actual business, with live support and community the whole way. You're not just learning. You're implementing, troubleshooting, and transforming your business in real time with feedback and guidance from someone who's done this at scale.
Q: Will I actually get my time back?
A: Yes. Most people report five to ten hours per week in the first three months as they implement what they're learning. Some report fifteen-plus hours. That's not theoretical. That's real time freed up because you've trained AI to do work that used to take you hours.
Q: I've tried ChatGPT before and it didn't help that much.
A: That's because you didn't train it. Most people use ChatGPT like a search engine or a task executor. You're going to learn to use it like a thinking partner and team member. Context changes everything. Once you give it your brand voice, your customer insights, and your business context, the results are completely different. It’s the difference between a new employee week one and after 5 years in your business.
Q: I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be lost?
A: If you can send an email and watch a video, you can do this. We start at the beginning. Plus you have live Q&A calls where you can ask anything, a community learning alongside you, and direct access to me. You're not alone in this.
Q: What if I fall behind or miss a call?
A: Everything is recorded and available to you for the full 12 months. This program is designed for busy people, not people with endless free time. You move through it at your pace. The Q&A calls are a bonus, not a requirement.
Q: What happens after 12 months? Do I have to keep paying?
A: No. You'll have systems, templates, trained AI, and the knowledge to keep it going on your own. You'll be competent and confident. If you want continued support after that, I will offer options, but the goal is to set you up so you don't need me anymore. You're building independence, not dependence.
Q: Is this just for photographers? What if I'm a coach or consultant?
A: This is for any service-based business owner running solo or with a small team. Photographers, coaches, consultants, designers, real estate agents, salon owners. The principles are the same. The application is specific to your business.
Q: How much time will I actually have to invest?
A: The weekly live calls where we go over modules 1-8 are an hour long. I also have another hour of additional Q & A you can join in on live (currently not recorded). What you'll find is that once you implement what you're learning, you get back hours every week. This is a time investment that pays you back immediately.
Q: When do I start?
A: Tier 1, version 2.0 the doors open in March and the classes begin April 7th, 2026. When you sign up, you'll get instant access to a welcome video, Module 0 & 1, workbooks, and templates. The first live Q&A call happens April 7th at 2:00pm EST. You can start moving at your own pace.
Q: Will this help me grow my revenue?
A: Revenue growth is typically an extension of what happens when you get your time back and work strategically. When you're working forty hours instead of fifty-plus, your hourly rate improves immediately. When you have time to work on your business instead of just in it, you can take on better clients, charge better rates, or scale. Most people report both: more time and more revenue.
Q: What's included in the workbooks and templates?
A: Each module comes with a detailed workbook that walks you through the concepts and exercises. The templates include email frameworks, social media content calendars, prompt systems, ideal customer avatar templates, brand voice frameworks, and systems that you can plug directly into your business and adapt to your voice.
Q: Is the community real? Or is it just a Slack channel I never check?
A: It's real. It's small. It's active. It's people asking real questions, sharing what's working, supporting each other, and celebrating wins. You'll see the same people every week on the Q&A calls. You'll recognize each other. It feels like a real community because it is. I host this program on MemberUp. I am not messing around with Facebook Groups instability. The goal is simplicity. One place to go for your lives, modules, resources, and more.
Let’s get you unstuck!
I am ready!
You didn't start your business to spend your days drowning in tasks.
You started it because you're damn good at what you do and you wanted the freedom to do it your way.
