Last Sunday I had the opportunity to participate in the Ironman California race. For those not familiar with Ironman they include a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and finishing with a 26.2 mile run. The Ironman race tests you not only physically but just as much mentally. I had a great day and finished with a time of 12 hour and 2 minutes. That is 2 hours faster than my last Ironman race. But race times don't really matter. What matters most is the growth that comes from the journey...not the race. Business and life lessons from the training from this year include advice given to me by my triathlon coach right before the race. "Solve problems one at a time." Through the course of a long race there will be problems. Stay present and solve them one at a time. The more present you can be the more effective you will be at solving what is right in front of you. There was a day that the idea of doing a race that lasts 140.6 miles in one day I would have thought impossible. Completing an Ironman is the realization that each of us are capable of more than we could imagine. My wish in posting this is to inspire anyone chasing a dream. It can be done if focus on achieving your goals one step at a time. Solve the challenges that stand in your way one at a time!!!!

All eyes are on AI, and National Small Business Week is a great time to take stock of the impact. With 52% of small and medium sized businesses using AI tools today—up from 48% a few months ago—it's easy to see that new AI tools are actively driving business transformation. While there is more organizational understanding of AI, there is still room for learning, as 24% of SMBs remain unfamiliar with its potential for growth.       Our report on AI and US SMBs is a great resource for assessing your readiness and understanding how AI can help your business succeed!     #AI #Copilot #SmallBusinessWeek
