You&#8217;re sitting at your desk at 10 PM, still working through a task that should have taken an hour but has somehow eaten your entire evening. Maybe it&#8217;s chasing invoices. Maybe it&#8217;s writing product descriptions for 200 SKUs. Maybe it&#8217;s following up with leads who haven&#8217;t responded in a week. You&#8217;re doing the work but you&#8217;re not building the business.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the gap that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/courses\/ai-for-entrepreneurs-course\"><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was made to close. And in 2025, <\/span><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is no longer a future concept. It is a present-day competitive advantage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not the AI of science fiction. Not the <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/why-ai-is-a-growth-engine-not-a-job-killer\/\">AI<\/a> of enterprise IT departments with million-dollar budgets and six-month implementation timelines. The AI that&#8217;s available <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">right now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on a laptop, to any business owner willing to invest a few weeks learning how to use it properly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The numbers back this up. According to SBE Council&#8217;s 2026 Small Business Tech Use Survey, 82% of small business employers have already invested in <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/aihelpcenter\/ai-for-product-managers\/best-ai-tools-2026\">AI tools<\/a>, and they are rapidly being embedded across daily functions and workflows. The entrepreneurs who are pulling ahead aren&#8217;t necessarily the ones with the biggest teams or the deepest pockets. They&#8217;re the ones who figured out how to make AI work inside their specific business and started doing it early.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This blog is about exactly that.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Why Most Entrepreneurs Get Stuck with AI<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we talk about what&#8217;s possible, let&#8217;s talk about what&#8217;s common.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost every entrepreneur has tried ChatGPT, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/aihelpcenter\/ai-strategy-pm\/how-to-use-claude-ai-like-a-pro\">Claude<\/a>, or Gemini at some point. They&#8217;ve asked it a few questions, maybe drafted an email, and thought okay, that&#8217;s useful but not exactly life-changing. And then they went back to doing everything the way they always had.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem isn&#8217;t the technology. The problem is that most people never go beyond the chat interface.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using AI only for chat is like buying a Swiss Army knife and only ever using it to open letters. The real power, the part that actually transforms how a business operates comes when you move from prompting to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">implementing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you stop asking AI questions and start building consistent, automated processes with it across your marketing, operations, accounts, and sales.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI business automation uses artificial intelligence to complete tasks and make decisions with little input learning from data patterns and adapting to new situations, making it valuable for businesses seeking to scale without increasing headcount. That last part is especially important for entrepreneurs: scale without headcount. More output, same team.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entrepreneurs who are seeing real ROI from AI aren&#8217;t just using it as a smarter Google. They&#8217;re building systems. And that shift from user to builder is where everything changes. That is the true promise of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/courses\/ai-for-entrepreneurs-course\"><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: not a smarter chatbot, but a smarter business.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>The Real ROI: What AI Is Doing for Business Owners Right Now<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s get specific, because vague promises about &#8220;AI transforming your business&#8221; are not useful to anyone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are real examples of what <\/span><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> looks like in practice:<\/span><\/p><p><b>Monthly Accounts in 15 Minutes.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A business owner who used to spend four to five days every month closing accounts and generating P&amp;L statements automated the entire process using an AI financial agent. What once required days of back-and-forth between spreadsheets and accountants now runs in 15 to 30 minutes, with the AI generating income statements, balance sheets, cash flow summaries, and ratio commentary from a trial balance input.<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u20b92.5 Lakh Saved Per Season on Photography.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A kids&#8217; wear brand that previously paid \u20b91,000\u2013\u20b91,200 per product shoot in Mumbai \u2014 sending physical products to a studio and waiting days for results \u2014 now uses AI-generated product photography. The quality is comparable. The cost is effectively zero. Across two seasons a year, that&#8217;s over \u20b92.5 lakh in direct savings, not counting the time and logistics saved.<\/span><\/p><p><b>40 Hours of Work Completed in Under 4 Hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A co-founder at a growing company described how a task that used to take an entire work week \u2014 research, analysis, compilation \u2014 now gets done in a few hours using generative AI. In some cases, the same task now takes 15 to 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Invoice Verification on Autopilot<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A business receiving daily supplier invoices over email built an AI agent that automatically extracts invoice data at 6:30 PM every evening, cross-references prices against a master Google Sheet, and flags any discrepancies \u2014 without any human involvement in the process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are not edge cases. These are outcomes that business owners across manufacturing, fashion, retail, exports, and finance have implemented in weeks \u2014 often in the first month of learning.<\/span><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13459\" src=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-300x75.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-300x75.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-1080x271.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-150x38.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-768x192.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18-1536x385.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1.jpg-18.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><h2><b>The 5 Core Areas Where AI Transforms Entrepreneurial Businesses<\/b><\/h2><p><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not one thing. It&#8217;s a set of capabilities that cut across every major business function. Here&#8217;s where the impact is largest:<\/span><\/p><h3><b>1. Marketing: Create Like a Full Agency, Spend Like a Solo Founder<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing is the #1 use case for <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/generative-ai-vs-traditional-ai-what-is-the-difference-and-why-it-matters-for-your-career-in-2026\/\">AI<\/a> among small businesses, with owners reporting improved customer reach, engagement, and revenue generation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For entrepreneurs, this is where <a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/best-genai-course-in-india-2026-what-to-look-for-and-what-to-avoid\/\">AI<\/a> delivers the most immediate visible wins. With the right tools and process, a solo founder or small team can produce:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional product photography without a studio or photographer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI avatar founder videos for Instagram, LinkedIn, and brand introductions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ad copy, reel scripts, and social media content at scale<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete brand collateral \u2014 from banners to emailers \u2014 without a design agency<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One carpet exporter created a fully AI-generated video invitation for an international trade exhibition in Shanghai \u2014 complete with his likeness, voice, product imagery, and event details \u2014 using only a photograph as the starting point. The entire video was produced without a production team, studio visit, or significant budget.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is what modern AI for entrepreneurs looks like in marketing: founder-driven, brand-consistent, and almost entirely automated once the system is set up.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>2. Operations: Stop Running Your Business. Start Owning It.<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operations is where most entrepreneurs spend the majority of their time \u2014 and where AI delivers the most transformative ROI.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is straightforward: build systems where AI monitors, tracks, and reports on your business so that you spend five minutes reviewing rather than five hours managing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI can safely automate up to three hours of business processes per day \u2014 freeing time from routine work and letting business owners focus on creative work and innovation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practical operational use cases include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automated task management<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with AI agents that follow up with team members over email and messaging platforms, track completion, score performance, and surface bottlenecks without the founder having to chase anyone<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Production flow management<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 tracking orders, supplier timelines, and inventory through an AI-powered application rather than manual spreadsheet updates<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Invoice and payment automation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 from extraction to verification to collection reminders, entirely handled by scheduled AI agents<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Web scraping and market monitoring<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 AI agents that browse competitor pricing, market trends, or industry news and deliver structured weekly reports directly to your inbox<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a fashion entrepreneur needing to track European and Asian market trends, this meant building an agent that delivers a curated weekly briefing every Monday morning \u2014 replacing hours of manual research with a five-minute read.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>3. Sales: Build a Pipeline That Works While You Sleep<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales follow-up is one of the highest-value, most neglected functions in small businesses. Leads go cold not because the product isn&#8217;t right but because nobody followed up at the right time with the right message.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI changes this completely. With the right setup:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leads can be automatically qualified based on responses and behaviour<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalised follow-up sequences can run across email and WhatsApp without manual intervention<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment reminders and collection workflows can be automated with contextual, personalised messaging<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales performance data can be tracked and surfaced through an AI dashboard that tells you exactly where deals are stalling<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales teams use AI to qualify leads and schedule follow-up calls, while AI automations assist in screening and shortlisting \u2014 all with minimal human oversight. For entrepreneurs without dedicated sales teams, this levels the playing field significantly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important note on AI calling vs. messaging: the evidence strongly favours WhatsApp and email automation over AI voice calling. Customers respond better to contextual, well-timed messages than to automated calls. The conversion rates are higher, the costs are lower, and the friction is significantly reduced.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>4. Accounts &amp; Finance: From Trial Balance to Boardroom Insight in Minutes<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial reporting is traditionally one of the most time-consuming and error-prone functions in any small business. Month-end closing, P&amp;L generation, variance analysis \u2014 these tasks consume days of the accounting team&#8217;s time and often delay critical business decisions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI agents can now handle the full chain: from ingesting raw trial balance data to generating formatted income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and ratio analysis with plain-language commentary explaining what the numbers mean.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For business owners who want to go further, AI-powered dashboards can replace static PowerBI reports with live, conversational interfaces. Instead of reading charts, you ask the dashboard a question \u2014 &#8220;What was our gross margin last month compared to the same period last year?&#8221; \u2014 and get an immediate, accurate answer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add a scheduled alert system on top of that, and your financial operations can notify you automatically when key metrics cross thresholds \u2014 before problems become crises.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>5. Custom AI Agents &amp; Applications: Build Tools for Your Exact Business<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the area that surprises most entrepreneurs the most \u2014 and where the long-term competitive advantage lies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small and medium-sized businesses are now able to enjoy AI capabilities that were, until recently, the preserve of large enterprises, due to the emergence of generative AI.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right guidance, entrepreneurs without any coding background are building:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom WhatsApp AI agents that answer customer questions about products, pricing, shipping, and support \u2014 24\/7, without human involvement<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try-on and visualisation apps for physical products (bags, furnishings, clothing) that let customers see products in their own space before buying<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplier-to-customer order tracking applications that replace manual coordination entirely<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal knowledge bases where employees can ask questions and get instant answers based on your SOPs, pricing, and product information<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designer bag exporter built a product visualisation app in under two days that lets customers see how a bag looks in their living room, change handle colours, and swap patterns \u2014 all on an iPad at a trade exhibition. His competitor had built something similar. He matched it in 48 hours.<\/span><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13460\" src=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-300x75.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-300x75.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-1080x271.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-150x38.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-768x192.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19-1536x385.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/2.jpg-19.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><h2><b>The 90-Day AI Roadmap: How AI for Entrepreneurs Actually Works in Practice<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning about AI is not the same as implementing it.

The evidence says otherwise.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrepreneurs who have successfully implemented AI in their businesses in recent cohorts include kids&#8217; wear manufacturers, carpet exporters, home furnishing brands, real estate treasury managers, packaging companies, construction firms, investment advisors, healthcare clinic owners, and senior government officials.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The common thread is not industry or technical background. It is the willingness to invest time in learning the system, identify the right use cases, and commit to implementation with support.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI has become essential to competitiveness and growth, with small business owners signalling they will continue to invest in tools over the next twelve months. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI. It is how quickly you can build the skills to implement it effectively.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Ready to Build Your AI-Powered Business?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gap between entrepreneurs who use AI casually and those who build with it is widening every month. The ones who figure it out now will have a structural advantage that compounds over time \u2014 in costs saved, hours reclaimed, and competitive capability built.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve designed two programmes specifically for this moment:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/courses\/ai-for-entrepreneurs-course\">AI for Entrepreneurs<\/a> Course<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 A practical, implementation-focused programme for business owners who want to automate operations, marketing, sales, and finance using AI. Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs. No fluff, no theory \u2014 just use cases you implement inside your own business.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/courses\/generative-ai-course\"><b>Gen AI Course<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 For professionals, managers, and team leads who want to build hands-on AI skills they can apply immediately at work.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next batch starts soon. <\/span><b>Explore the courses \u2192<\/b><\/p><h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2><p><b>Q: Do I need a technical background to use AI in my business?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not at all. The majority of AI tools available today are designed for non-technical users. The most important skill is not coding \u2014 it is knowing your business well enough to identify where AI can save time or create value. Support teams can handle the technical implementation side.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: How quickly can I see results?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most entrepreneurs implementing AI with structured support see their first meaningful result \u2014 a working automation, a time-saving tool, a cost reduction \u2014 within the first two weeks. Significant operational transformation typically takes 60 to 90 days.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: Which business functions should I automate first?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Start with whatever is consuming the most time or creating the most bottlenecks right now. For most entrepreneurs, that&#8217;s either operations (task management, invoicing, reporting) or marketing (content creation, product photography, social media). Both areas have well-established AI solutions with fast implementation timelines.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: Is AI for entrepreneurs only relevant for digital or tech businesses?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No. Some of the most compelling results have come from traditional businesses \u2014 manufacturing, fashion, exports, construction, and retail. If your business has repetitive processes, data, customer interactions, or content needs, AI can make a meaningful difference.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: What&#8217;s the difference between using ChatGPT and actually implementing AI in my business?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using ChatGPT for occasional tasks is the equivalent of using a calculator for basic arithmetic. Implementing AI in your business means building systems \u2014 agents, automations, and workflows \u2014 that run consistently without your involvement. The gap between the two is significant, and crossing it requires structured learning and implementation support.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Q: What&#8217;s the best first step for AI for entrepreneurs who are just getting started?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The best first step for any <\/span><b>AI for entrepreneurs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> journey is identifying one specific, time-consuming task in your business and solving just that. Don&#8217;t try to automate everything at once. Pick one problem, build one solution, and let that early win build your confidence and momentum for what comes next. You don&#8217;t need to track every development. You need to build a foundation of understanding that lets you evaluate new tools quickly and a community of peers and experts who can alert you to what actually matters. That combination \u2014 practical knowledge plus the right network \u2014 is what makes AI adoption sustainable rather than overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ma_el_bg_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75458fe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default jltma-glass-effect-no\" data-id=\"75458fe\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ma_el_bg_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-55c95947 jltma-glass-effect-no\" data-id=\"55c95947\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ma_el_bg_slider elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2ad7c482 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default jltma-glass-effect-no\" data-id=\"2ad7c482\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ma_el_bg_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fce7227 jltma-glass-effect-no\" data-id=\"fce7227\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c345a5e jltma-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1c345a5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/author2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12236\" alt=\"Prateek Agrawal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/author2.png 415w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/author2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ivyproschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/author2-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ma_el_bg_slider elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-64dc0fb4 jltma-glass-effect-no\" data-id=\"64dc0fb4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58943dc3 jltma-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58943dc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Prateek Agrawal is the founder and director of Ivy Professional School.

The AI that&#8217;s available right now, on a laptop, to any business owner willing to invest a few weeks learning how to use it properly. The numbers back this up.
