You’re Not Behind—You’re Just Getting Started

Every day, another AI announcement. Another “game-changing” tool. Another expert telling you you’ll be obsolete if you don’t master AI yesterday.

Meanwhile, you’re trying to run a business. You’ve got customers to serve, teams to lead, and a life outside of work that deserves your attention. The last thing you need is another full-time job learning to speak robot.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to become an AI expert. You need AI to work for you, not the other way around.

What You’ll Get Every Week

This newsletter delivers AI implementation in two focused doses, designed to fit into your busy schedule:

Tuesday: “The Focus”

• One Battle-Tested Framework that solves a real business problem in under 24 hours
• Complete Implementation Guide with screenshots, prompts, and templates you can copy
• Expected Time Savings so you know the ROI before you start

Friday: “The Pulse”

• Three AI Stories That Matter filtered from hundreds (I read them so you don’t have to)
• Why Each Impacts Your Business specifically—not Silicon Valley’s latest obsession
• One 10-Minute Action you can take from each story to stay ahead

For Paid Subscribers

• Monthly Live Workshops where we implement AI solutions to your actual challenges
• Done-for-You Templates including custom GPTs and complete workflow playbooks
• Recordings of Everything so you never miss a strategy or solution

What Makes This Different

Most AI content falls into two camps: tech bros showing off their latest tricks, or consultants selling $50K transformation projects.

This newsletter is neither.

It’s practical guidance from someone who’s actually running a business, not just talking about it. Someone who measures success not in lines of code but in hours reclaimed and stress reduced.

You won’t find:

• Technical jargon that requires a computer science degree
• ”Prompt engineering” that takes longer than doing the work yourself
• Shiny objects that break the moment you try to use themTheory without implementation

You will find:

• Frameworks that work with the tools you already have
• Scripts and templates you can copy-paste today
• Honest assessments of what’s worth your time (and what isn’t)A clear path from AI-curious to AI-confident

Why Listen to Me?

Hi, I’m Michael Hyatt.

Two years ago, I was exactly where you might be now—intrigued by AI but skeptical it was worth the learning curve. My daughter Megan (CEO of our company, Full Focus) asked me to figure out AI for our team. My plate was already full.

“I think AI could give you back ten to twenty hours a week,” she said.

That got my attention.

My first attempts were disasters. Generic, robotic outputs that made me wonder what all the fuss was about. But then I cracked the code: context. Once I learned how to properly guide AI, everything changed.

Within weeks, I was saving ten hours per week. Within months, our entire company had transformed—cutting content production time by 60% while actually improving quality.

I spent most of my career in the book publishing industry, including six years as CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, where I led a $250 million company through the digital transformation, social media revolution, and the Great Recession. I know what it’s like to navigate disruption while keeping the business running.

Today, I’m Founder and Chairman of Full Focus, where we’ve helped thousands of business owners achieve what we call the “Double Win”—succeeding at work without sacrificing their lives. Our Full Focus Planner has sold over 1.5 million copies.

I’ve written a dozen bestselling books on productivity and leadership. But here’s my confession: I’m not naturally tech-savvy. Everything I share, I’ve had to learn the hard way. That’s why my frameworks actually work for real people running real businesses.

Your Next Step

You have two choices:

1. Keep watching from the sidelines as AI transforms your industry, hoping you can catch up later
2. Start implementing AI strategically, one practical step at a time

If you’re ready for option two, you’re in the right place.

This isn’t about becoming an AI expert. It’s about becoming an AI user—someone who harnesses these tools to create more margin for what matters.

Every Tuesday and Friday, you’ll get exactly what you need to take the next step. No overwhelm. No technical tangents. Just practical implementation that works.

Subscribe to the free edition now and get your first issue immediately. You’ll see results from your first framework within 24 hours.
