The central theme of our discussion today revolves around the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of female entrepreneurship. We assert that the future of women in business is unequivocally AI-powered, a notion that we believe will significantly alleviate the burdens that many entrepreneurs currently face. I candidly share my personal journey of encountering moments of overwhelming frustration, only to discover that AI can serve as a powerful ally in overcoming creative blocks and enhancing productivity. It is imperative to understand that AI is not merely a tool but rather an extension of our cognitive capabilities, designed to facilitate our strategic thinking and creative processes. As we delve into the myriad ways AI can revolutionize business practices, we encourage our audience to embrace this technology as a means of reclaiming their time and energy, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and impactful approach to entrepreneurship.
The discourse presented elucidates the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the realm of female entrepreneurship. The host, Kara, articulates her journey from skepticism to enlightenment regarding AI's capabilities. Initially, she grappled with feelings of overwhelm and resistance to adopting new technologies. However, her paradigm shifted dramatically when she experienced a pivotal moment that showcased AI's utility in alleviating creative blocks and enhancing productivity. This anecdote serves as a testament to AI's role not merely as a tool, but as an empowering partner in business, capable of facilitating strategic decision-making and streamlining mundane tasks. Kara emphasizes that AI is not a replacement for human intellect but rather an extension of it, capable of augmenting creativity and efficiency. The core message resonates with the notion that the future of female entrepreneurship is inextricably linked to the adept integration of AI, compelling listeners to reconsider their relationship with technology and embrace it as a catalyst for growth and innovation.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hello, my beautiful friends, and welcome back to another episode of Design your dream life podcast. My name is Kara. I am your host.
And if you are here, you are probably one of those brilliant, ambitious women who has been working your tail off and doing all the things in your business and sometimes even questioning yourself, like, why did I even start this in the first place? And today we are going to talk about something that is going to completely shift how you think about building your business.
Today we are talking about why the future of female entrepreneurship is AI powered. And more importantly, why that is the best news you are going to hear all day, maybe all month, maybe all year. But first, let me be real with you.
When AI first started becoming this big thing that everyone was talking about, I had two thoughts. First thought, this is either going to save my sanity or completely overwhelm me, honestly.
Second thought, I definitely do not have time to learn another complicated thing like tech. Overwhelm is for real, right? So maybe you can relate because here's what I have learned after diving deep into this world.
And I mean deep, AI is not another complicated thing to add to your already overflowing plate. It is actually the thing that is going to give you your plate back.
Before we get into the big picture vision, I want to tell you about the moment that everything clicked for me. I want to share with you my AI breakthrough moment. So here we are. The first time I realized that AI could be a complete game changer.
Honestly, my brain was absolutely fried. I had been juggling a million thoughts and ideas in my brain as per usual.
And I was sitting at my computer screen and I was completely blocked from trying to come up with some fresh ad copy for a client. And it was for a digital product in a low ticket funnel, specifically a client who sells, like at home, preschool plans.
And so the ads had been tanking and nothing was converting and nothing was clicking. And so I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm staring at this blank screen. Which, by the way, side note, I was like, before AI, this was so real.
You know what I mean? For all copy, how many of you have sat there looking at a blank screen, feeling completely stuck? Because that's where I was that day.
And so here I am, supposed to be this amazing marketing expert, and my brain was just done. Like it was empty. It was absolute empty.
And I'm like, oh, so kind of on a whim, I was like, you know what, I'm gonna swear, I'm just gonna say fuck it. And I opened up ChatGPT and I typed something like, and I can't remember exactly, but I was something like, write high.
Converting Facebook ad copy for a $37 digital product that helps parents teach preschool at home. And I remember pasting in, here's the sales page. And man, what came back.
It wasn't perfect, I'm going to be honest, but it was exactly what I needed to get unstuck. It gave me new angles, new hooks, and it honestly revived the entire campaign.
So we use the new copy, we relaunched the ads, and we started converting again. And I was just in awe in that moment right there. Seriously, the game changed for me. Like, it made me wonder, what else could this thing do?
What else was I struggling with that AI could help me figure out? Now, don't get me wrong, it still needs guidance.
But that question led me down a rabbit hole that completely transformed how I work, how I think, and honestly, how I live. Now, here's what I want you to understand. AI isn't here to replace your brilliant mind. It is here to extend it. Think of it like this.
You know how you use your phone to remember phone numbers so your brain can focus on more important things. AI is like that, but for everything. Your creativity, your strategy, your problem solving, and all of that is still you.
AI is just helping you think faster, see more possibilities, and get unstuck when your human brain hits a wall. But here is the like. This is the key that everyone misses. And it's so crucial. AI is only as good as what you feed it.
If you feed it trash, you get trash. If you feed it thoughtful strategic input, you get gold. It is like having the most talented assistant in the world.
But if you don't know how to communicate with them, they cannot help you the way that they're capable of helping you. This is why so many people try AI once, get mediocre results and give up.
They're typing in, write me a social media post and wondering why it sounds generic. That's like hiring a world class chef and asking them, make some food. You're going to get something, but it's not going to be extraordinary.
But when you learn to work with AI strategically, when you understand how to give it context, personality, specific goals, that is when the magic happens, happen. So I started with those basic prompts, right? Just giving questions into ChatGPT and getting decent answers.
But then I discovered custom GPTs and oh my goodness, this is where things get so exciting. Because a custom GPT is like training your own personal AI assistant who knows your business, your voice, your goals, Your challenges.
And instead of starting from scratch every time, this AI already knows where to take you. So for example, I'm in the midst of like, I created this awesome, awesome custom GPT that's called Frankie the Funnel Queen.
And she's specifically, specifically designed for funnel strategy. She knows all the nuances of low ticket marketing. And so when I ask Frankie about a funnel strategy, I'm not getting generic advice.
I'm getting targeted strategic insights based on what's actually working or has worked for my clients. And it's also taking knowledge from me from over the years, all of my expertise.
So it's like the difference between asking a random person on the street for business advice versus asking your most successful mentor who knows about your business inside and out. And that is just the beginning. Like, we're moving from AI as a tool to AI as a business partner.
Now I'm gonna pause for a second because it's okay if you use prompts for a while before ex, like playing with GPTs. And also, I will say this, I also play with Claude and we're gonna talk about some of the things other tools later.
But honestly, I created a custom GPT yesterday in chatgpt and I didn't like the outputs and I created a project in Claude and I formatted it the same well with knowledge bases and things like that. And I love the output of Claude better. So again, I am still always experimenting between the two.
And so I just wanted to touch on that because everyone's talking about custom GPTs, but sometimes if you're going to put all that effort into creating a custom GPT and you're going to learn how to, you know, write the instructions, try it in other AI too, that might not be a custom GPT and you might be surprised at what it comes back with. So let me tell you why AI is specifically powerful for women entrepreneurs.
Because as women, we have been socialized to believe that we have to do everything ourselves.
We have to be the marketer and the accountant and the customer service rep and the content creator and the strategy, the strategist and the project manager. We wear all the hats because we think that's what success looks like. But what if I told you you could delegate half of those tasks to AI?
Not partially delegate, but fully. What if you could have AI write your email sequences while you focus on strategy?
What if AI could handle your customer service inquiries while you work on your offers? And what if AI could create your content calendars, organize your system, and even help you make better business decisions?
This is not about working harder or adding more to your plate. It is about working smarter and actually getting your life back. The future female entrepreneur isn't grinding 12 hours a day.
She's strategic about where she spends her human energy and her genius. And she is using AI to handle everything else. She is not competing on who can hustle harder.
She is competing on who can think clearer, move faster, and serve better, all while maintaining her sanity and her relationships. In five years, you guys, the women who embrace AI now are going to be light years ahead of women who resist it. It is so true.
They are going to have more time, more energy, more creativity, and more impact. But here's what I really want you to understand. This isn't about becoming dependent on technology.
This is about reclaiming your power as a female entrepreneur. So for too long we have been told that success requires sacrifice.
That if we want to build something meaningful, we have to sacrifice our health or our relationships, our peace of mind. But AI changes that equation completely. But this requires a fundamental mindset shift.
Honestly, you have to stop seeing AI as this scary, complicated thing that's going to take over the world and start seeing it as your secret weapon for creating the business and life that you actually want.
You have to stop believing that delegating to AI somehow makes you less valuable and start believing that your strategic thinking and creating vision are more valuable than ever.
And you have to stop thinking that you need to understand every technical detail and start thinking like a CEO who understands how to leverage resources. Because that is what successful entrepreneurs do, right? Because that's what successful entrepreneurs do.
They identify the tools and resources that can accelerate their success and they use them strategically. So where do you start? Well, I think the first thing is to identify the tasks that drain your energy but don't require your unique genius.
Things like writing first drafts of emails or social content, organizing information research basic customer Service, creating the SOPs for like canned responses for customer service, content repurposing. These are perfect for AI. Second, start with simple prompts and get good at communicating with AI honestly.
Practice being specific about what you want and giving it context about your business and your audience. And the third thing is experiment with custom GPTs for your most repetitive tasks.
So whether that's content creation or email marketing or strategic planning, like having AI trained specifically for your needs is a complete game changer. And finally, remember that this is a partnership. AI handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on the visionary work that only you can do.
Here's what I want to leave you with today. You have permission to stop doing everything yourself. You have permission to leverage technology to create more ease in your business.
You have permission to work smarter instead of harder. And you have permission to embrace AI without apology.
Because women who do are going to be the ones creating extraordinary businesses while everyone else is still stuck in hustle culture. The future of female entrepreneurship isn't about working more hours. It's about working more strategically.
It's about using every tool available to create the impact you want to make and the life you want to live. And AI, well, AI is the tool that's going to make it all possible for you, my friend. So the question isn't whether you should embrace AI.
The question is how fast are you willing to step into the future? Because I promise you, once you experience what it is like to have AI as your business partner, you are never going to go back to the other way.
Honestly, I remember even when I was first starting this journey and I was using it for sales pages and all this, and some of my friends like, how are you getting AI to give you such good stuff? And I'm like, dude, I am training it. You've got to train it right? Please don't give up. If you have tried AI and you've been like, meh, don't give up.
You have got to work with it. And I promise you, the more that you start playing with it, the bigger game changer it will be for you.
If you're ready to start your AI journey, I want you to think about one task that you do regularly that just drains your energy. Just one. Then I want you to go to AI and I want you to go ask IT to help you with it. Start simple, see what happens.
