Description

 

Join Us for the AI-Ready Small Business Lab - a 4-Part Workshop Series

Session 2 - AI for Business Operations: Efficiency That Pays Off

📆 Tuesday, April 21, 2026
🕐 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
📍 Sesh Coworking | 2808 Caroline St., Houston, TX 77004


Where small business owners move beyond “trying AI tools” to building systems that actually work.

What is the AI-Ready Lab?

The AI-Ready Small Business Lab is a four-session, hands-on program designed to help entrepreneurs integrate AI into how they run, market, and grow their business. 

This is not about theory or hype. It’s about showing small business owners how to turn repetitive work, scattered marketing, and disconnected processes into smarter systems that drive real, measurable results.

Each session stands on its own while also building toward a cohesive learning experience. Participants will leave with:
  • Fillable frameworks
  • Real-world use cases
  • Practical steps they can apply immediately
  • Lifetime access to the Endless 8 Community Hub for continued learning and collaboration

Session 2 — AI for Business Operations: Efficiency That Pays Off

Purpose: Attendees will understand how AI can streamline and automate admin work and client processes.

Key Learning Points:
  • Drafting proposals, contracts, and quotes with AI
  • Building SOP's, policies, and forms in minutes
  • Automating emails and scheduling with prompt frameworks
Session Deliverable:
Operations Optimization Worksheet - map three daily processes for automation.


Not a small business owner? Feel free to join us to get your "tools you can use too" through this insightful four-part series.

 Registration closes at 12 PM CT on Monday, April 20th.

You can still register if you have not attended the prior sessions.

Be sure and bring your laptop (fully charged!) for hands-on learning.
