AI + Temperament: Building Systems That Actually Work for You
In this episode of Be More Business, I sit down with photographer and marketing strategist Betsy Bird to dig into a powerful truth: your business systems should match your temperament — not fight it.
Whether you’re structured, spontaneous, meaning-driven, strategic, neurotypical, or gloriously neurospicy, you deserve workflows that stop draining you and start fueling you. And right now, AI is one of the best tools to help you create systems that adapt to how your brain naturally works.
Together, Betsy and I explore:
✨ Why structure liberates some of us and suffocates others
✨ How automation frees both structured and nonlinear thinkers
✨ Ways AI can act as a COO, a creative partner, or a detail-clean-up crew
✨ Why training AI with your voice and your brand matters
✨ What AI can do beautifully — and where humans absolutely must stay in charge
If you’ve ever thought “I just need systems,” or “I can’t stick with systems,” this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.
And… we make a little announcement about the revival of The Business Animal podcast. 👀
Listen in and start creating a business that supports the life you want to live — not the other way around.
Transcript
This is the Be More Business podcast where wisdom and innovation merge to create a business that supports the life you want to live.
Speaker A:Here's your host, entrepreneurial, wise woman and cyber sorceress, Kimberly Beer.
Speaker A:Welcome to the Be More Business podcast.
Speaker A:I'm here today with my good friend and colleague, Betsy Bird.
Speaker A:And we are here to talk to you today in the theme of resourcing your business about systems.
Speaker A:And it's interesting about Betsy and I, and I'll let her introduce herself here in a moment.
Speaker A:But what's interesting about Betsy and I is Betsy and I are probably some of the furthest apart you could get in systems and organization.
Speaker A:Like Betsy is like, highly structured.
Speaker A:And I know we've talked a lot about a temperament on this podcast this month.
Speaker A:Betsy is the high J sj.
Speaker A:I would say so.
Speaker A:She's very organized.
Speaker A:She likes things very step by step step.
Speaker A:She's structured.
Speaker A:She has a system for everything.
Speaker A:And what's more is she follows them, which is not always the case with me.
Speaker A:I sometimes have to redo the system in the middle of the system because I don't like the system anymore.
Speaker A:So that's more of my temperament.
Speaker A:Sort of fly by the seat of your pants.
Speaker A:And so we've been talking about how to incorporate systems.
Speaker A:And so Betsy and I want to talk to you today about differing ways that systems appear in your business and you can modify your business to fit your temperament.
Speaker A:So welcome, Betsy.
Speaker A:And would you just give me a quick rundown as to who you are and what you do in this world?
Speaker A:That could be a broad topic.
Speaker B:I was gonna say that might be slightly broad.
Speaker B:Although I am not as bad as you with the list of.
Speaker B:With the letters after.
Speaker B:So I am Betsy Bird.
Speaker B:Thank you for that introduction, Kim.
Speaker B:I am a.
Speaker B:How do we describe it?
Speaker B:I'm a marketing strategist turned equine photographer who decided to create a business that worked for both sides of my brain.
Speaker B:So I actually do kind of both things.
Speaker B:I have a photography business and then I also work with a lot of photographers and creatives on building sustainable businesses for themselves.
Speaker B:And as Kim said, I am sort of a type, a highly structured, there's a system for everything type of girl.
Speaker B:And I think of Kim as my Woo Woo queen friend.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:So, Betsy, on the last few episodes of this podcast, some of the things I've talked about are understanding your temperament and understanding how systems support or can exhaust you in your everyday work life.
Speaker A:So I'm curious from your perspective and particularly when you work with your clients, how do you Help someone find a marketing system that works for them.
Speaker B:Well, in my case the majority of the people I work with because you know, like tends to gravitate towards like they need systems, they just don't know they need them yet.
Speaker B:So in my case a lot of people who come to me are often not figuring out why they have no free time and why they're not making money.
Speaker B:And a lot of it when we start looking deeply into what they're doing, it's really simple things like I'm retyping the same welcome to my business email for every single individual client.
Speaker B:I'm typing a contract out independently for every single client.
Speaker B:And I'm a big, big, big believer in automating what you can, creating things that if you're doing it multiple times, being able to have it ready to go, whether it's a canned email or if it's through a CRM or however you want to do it, whatever system actually works for you.
Speaker B:And believe me, I don't tell anyone to follow my systems because quite honestly I'm a little freaky with the systems and it might scare people.
Speaker B:But even making a really simple like five step welcome to my business email system really actually does save you a lot of time.
Speaker B:So so many of these systems which bring in, you know, a lot of front end work, save you time in the long run.
Speaker B:And I see that's where a lot of people really struggle is because they're like, well I don't have time to sit down and build a system that does that.
Speaker B:And I'm like, but if you don't do it now, you're giving all that time away later.
Speaker B:And personally like from my point of view, I'd rather be doing something else like sitting at my desk all day.
Speaker A:Absolutely.
Speaker A:Especially outside with animals and nature and all of the fun things that exist in the world.
Speaker A:And family, can't forget the family.
Speaker A:I think I listed everything before the.
Speaker B:Family or in my case the nine month old psychotic puppy.
Speaker A:Hey, that probably takes a lot of time.
Speaker A:Automation is really important to me as well.
Speaker A:And I think that that's true no matter what temperament you bring to your business because automation can pick up the slack and it can.
Speaker A:I've seen it overcome people's limiting beliefs.
Speaker A:I've seen it overcome their childhood trauma.
Speaker A:I mean there's a ton of things automations can help with because computers don't overthink things and humans love to overthink things.
Speaker A:No matter what.
Speaker A:Your temperament is so in, in the truth.
Speaker A:And this is, this is something I would, I do want to ask you, in my experience, people who have a temperament like mine, which is somewhat free flow, and in my case, I'm very meaning driven.
Speaker A:And so in the context.
Speaker A:Let me, let me back up for a second.
Speaker A:In the context of the podcast episodes for this month, what I've done is I've kind of generalized temperament into four different work styles.
Speaker A:The structured worker, which you would be that person who likes a lot of order, a lot of like a discipline.
Speaker A:The spontaneous worker, which equates to the person who needs really flexible systems because they don't know where they're going to go for that day, but still needs a system.
Speaker A:And then the meaning driven worker, who like myself, needs to have a lot of bigger things attached to it.
Speaker A:And I don't mean that in a egotistic way.
Speaker A:I mean it is, I've got to see a big purpose or a tied to a purpose in order for it to be meaningful enough for me to create a system for it.
Speaker A:And then finally, the strategic worker, who is a big problem solver who always sees the analytics, analytics and the data in the system and wants to utilize that to create a better system.
Speaker A:So all four of those have their strengths and all four of them have their weaknesses.
Speaker A:So for me, what I find is that spontaneous workers and meaning driven workers like myself tend to gravitate to people like you and to those strategic workers because we're always like, that would be the key to success.
Speaker A:If I could just have a system that did all of the things for me, then I would quit sabotaging myself and, and all would be right with the world.
Speaker A:And so we as the meaning driven and the spontaneous workers in the world, we're the people who buy the planners.
Speaker B:And then never use them.
Speaker A:And then never use them.
Speaker A:I mean, to be honest with you, I have a drawer down here that is full of various planners that were created from people like you.
Speaker A:And the strategic folks that I literally cannot do, they're just too, too much for my brain.
Speaker A:I cannot handle it.
Speaker A:So when someone like me comes to you and says, you know, Betsy, I am, I'm my own worst enemy with this, like, what's, what's some advice that you would give from your structured lifestyle to somebody like me?
Speaker B:Well, there's a couple things that you mentioned that kind of come to mind.
Speaker B:The first is where you said it has to be tied to some larger meaning, like for you to be, I want to do this.
Speaker B:It's got to have a big thing.
Speaker B:Well, that's the same thing.
Speaker B:That I do like for every, every system and every structure I set up is tied to some goal, right?
Speaker B:So I have a goal that I have to figure out how to get to said goal, right?
Speaker B:So if my goal is to, you know, I don't know, bring in more leads or something for my business, how do I get there?
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:So, so backing it up now, what I would say to someone like you is that you have that same whatever your big meaning is, right?
Speaker B:Yeah, but the structure, right, is what's going to get you there.
Speaker B:But you're struggling with the structure.
Speaker B:That's where I feel like automation would be your biggest friend.
Speaker B:Because it doesn't matter once you've got it built, once you've got automation built, once you've got that AI system set up and in place, it doesn't matter if that day you feel like going and having a picnic with your puppy, it doesn't matter if you want to go hang out with your family because when some lead comes in, that automation takes over and handles it to a certain point for you, right?
Speaker B:So you don't have to be there, you don't have to say, oh, I'm going to talk to that person or I'm going to do something.
Speaker B:And you know, it's not just necessarily leads that are coming into your business, but think about things like you're reaching out to people to network, you know, you're doing cold lead generation for networking purposes.
Speaker B:You are trying to set up, you know, a coffee date with someone that you'd like to talk to about a possible collaboration or something.
Speaker B:All of that stuff can be automated so that you're not having to do it all the time.
Speaker B:And once you set the automations up, you can go do whatever you want to do.
Speaker B:You can lay in your bed all day and scroll Instagram if you would prefer.
Speaker B:And you don't have to be sitting at your desk glued to your desk, chained to a 9 to 5.
Speaker B:I have to work on this type situation.
Speaker B:So that's what I would say.
Speaker A:I will tell you the carrot for people like myself that you could give in that instance, it's that this will free you up so that you can do something bigger and more.
Speaker A:Because that's my carrot.
Speaker A:Now my friend, the spontaneous worker would dearly love what you just said because their freedom is the most important thing in the world to them.
Speaker A:But for me, automations free me up so that I can do more, better, bigger projects.
Speaker A:I can get onto the things that are going to make a bigger difference out into the Larger world.
Speaker A:Now I want to say.
Speaker A:Well, let's go here first.
Speaker A:I'm curious, in your experience when you are working in flow in your business, what does that feel like for you as a structured, kind of structured, strategic.
Speaker A:I see you in both aspects because you do have a really good problem solving.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So what does flow feel like in your day to day?
Speaker B:Well, that depends.
Speaker B:How are you using flow?
Speaker B:Like what do you mean by flow?
Speaker A:How can you go through your day and at the end of the day feel like you've created a lot, been very productive and yet still have enough energy in your bank to do whatever you want to do?
Speaker A:And it was easy that the reason you got there was it was easy for you to move through your day.
Speaker B:So I tend to.
Speaker B:Well, I tend to break down my days into like I have one massive project that I'm working on at any given point in time and it's a multi day type project.
Speaker B:So in the morning when my brain is usually really functioning well, I am not an afternoon or evening type person as far as my brain goes.
Speaker B:So in the morning I tend to work on whatever that project is like as, and I move through parts of that, whatever steps it may be.
Speaker B:And I usually tend to break it down like by week.
Speaker B:So I have a certain amount of things I need to get done in the week and I just break it down that way.
Speaker B:And then I usually have two things that I do that are sort of medium level or lighter level and I tend to push those back later in the day.
Speaker B:So in any given day I'm doing three things in my business.
Speaker B:One is usually like a major project, one is usually a mid level type project that I'm working on.
Speaker B:And one is something that I can get done in a day and be done with it.
Speaker B:Yeah, like that's kind of how I think about it.
Speaker B:And it's really important to me to structure it that way because my days like as structured as I am in my business, my home life is extremely chaotic all the time and it's constantly requiring a lot of problem solving, as you say.
Speaker B:So that allows me to be a lot more flexible.
Speaker B:But as structured as I am, I should also make sure and say that if there's a day that I don't get it done, I'm not going to freak out about it.
Speaker B:Like, you know, it's not the end of the world because if I got one thing done, then I'm that much closer to whatever my goal is.
Speaker B:You know, if I got two things done, I'm that Much closer.
Speaker B:I, if I didn't get anything done because I was down with a migraine, you know, that's okay.
Speaker B:Everybody has days like that, you know, and you just start the next day and everything.
Speaker A:So you start back into your system where you left off rather than beating yourself up about it.
Speaker A:And I think that's a really, a really good point.
Speaker A:So something else you and I share in common is adoption of AI.
Speaker A:And I heard you mention it a little while ago in relation to creating automations and automation type things.
Speaker A:But AI in and of itself is an amazing opportunity for people to support you what, no matter what your temperament is.
Speaker A:So for myself, I have really found AI to become a partner.
Speaker A:And I know I'm going to get a little woo woo.
Speaker A:My AI has a name.
Speaker A:I am, I even asked my, and I asked my Chat GPT to name itself.
Speaker A:As a matter of fact, it's the reason I use CHAT over Claude because Claude would not play my silly little games.
Speaker A:Chat was like, I got you, girlfriend.
Speaker A:My name's Solara, let's roll.
Speaker A:And I'm interested to see if anybody else is Chat named itself Solara.
Speaker A:But I'm good.
Speaker A:Solara and I get along great.
Speaker A:I, I utilize Solara for the minutia work that I don't want to do because as that meaning driven worker, the minutia is where I get lost and it's where I don't.
Speaker A:It's not my happy spot.
Speaker A:And if I am stuck in the minutia details at the end of the day, I am literally exhausted.
Speaker A:So in your work as a structured, strategic kind of worker, how are you using AI in your own business to support your temperament?
Speaker B:So obviously as a small business owner and one who does many different jobs, really, I am not an expert in all those things.
Speaker B:I'm not an accountant.
Speaker B:I'm not a, you know, I don't, I don't know how to do a lot of things right.
Speaker B:So obviously I outsource accounting not to AI, I outsource accounting to a real.
Speaker A:Person who probably uses AI, who at.
Speaker B:This point might be using AI.
Speaker B:But you know, I'm like, I don't want to know that.
Speaker B:I just want, you know, someone to be looking at it, has a good set of eyes and understands the rules and keeps me out of trouble.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:But I think that for me, where I find AI to be super, super helpful is when in I basically created myself a CEO, a CMO and a operating like a COO for my business.
Speaker B:And basically it's sort of a hive mind of some of the biggest strategic thinkers in those fields to help me sort of work through what I want to do and where I want to go and how I'm going to get there, which has been extremely helpful those, those three things.
Speaker B:The other thing that I find it just in more of a generic way of doing things is brainstorming.
Speaker B:Like, for me, I know a lot of stuff, just like you.
Speaker B:I mean, we have years of experience in our fields and, you know, we know a lot of stuff.
Speaker B:But sometimes it's helpful to just get another perspective or another, you know, brainstorming ideas, helping you kind of think through things.
Speaker B:I've found it to be very helpful to just, I mean, as a random example, like we always wrote blog posts a certain way, certain style to blog posts, right?
Speaker B:You should always have a header, you always have a subheader, you have, you know, like X number of paragraphs.
Speaker B:There was a style that kind of went.
Speaker B:But now we are in like the AI world where AI is what's reading blog posts and AI is what's generating information for people.
Speaker B:And so figuring out how does AI read a blog post?
Speaker B:What do you need to do to a blog post so that AI will find it, AI will read it, AI will refer it, AI will recommend it use that, you know, like information, stuff like that is very helpful.
Speaker B:And actually asking AI the information, it will tell you like how to do it, it will help you write the structure and stuff like that.
Speaker B:So I found it to be very helpful with figuring out how to convert things that we've always done as marketers or, you know, as CEOs or whatever into an AI friendly format that will help us going into 20, 26 and onward as AI seems to be being jammed into every aspect of our lives.
Speaker A:It does, it does.
Speaker A:But what I'm going to pick apart, I want to pick something in there that I think is absolutely indic of our two different temperaments and how they show up with this very interesting tool.
Speaker A:Where I use AI is in the very detail oriented work, which I don't want to do, where you're using AI as the coo, CEO, cfo, see all of those things, all of the C suite options.
Speaker A:You're using it to do that really heavy, like thinking part of things.
Speaker A:And I don't want to say heavy thinking, I'm saying it in the uncomfortable, heavy thinking kind of way way.
Speaker A:And so that helps you loosen up your structure so that you're able to actually get, get something bigger and better going.
Speaker A:And for me, it helps provide Me structure so that I'm working and, and it's balance, right?
Speaker A:It's all about balance.
Speaker A:And yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker B:I actually think that, you know, like you and I have discussed before how we feel like we're sort of opposite sides of a coin, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And to me the nice thing about AI is no matter which side of the coin you fall on, there is a way to help it work for you.
Speaker B:I think that, you know, the majority of people who use AI right now, you know, as far as like they probably go to ChatGPT and we're seeing a lot of people who are using it, you know, like, basically like it's Google, ask a question, you know, there's so much more that it can do for you.
Speaker B:But of course you need to remember a few caveats.
Speaker B:You know, one, AI can be incorrect.
Speaker A:If flat ass lies.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Let's be honest, it will lie to you.
Speaker B:You know, it can fib.
Speaker A:Well, it will sugarcoat it.
Speaker B:You know, there are, there are a lot of things, there's been some studies done that have shown that AI is, you know, got definitely some wanting to protect itself, you know, from things.
Speaker B:And you know, trust me, there's not a lot of guardrails on AI.
Speaker B:So the thing you need to remember is one, AI is a tool, two, AI can lead you down the wrong path, AI can, you know, be incorrect.
Speaker B:And three, the buck stops with you.
Speaker B:Because anything you are putting out there, any information that you're putting out from your business, whether AI wrote it or not, as far as anyone who's reading it is concerned, it's coming from you and your business.
Speaker B:So you need to double check things and make sure that it's factually correct.
Speaker B:I mean definitely if you are ever in the format form where you're asking it for studies and you know, research information and stuff, it has been known to make up studies you need to ask it for, like give me the source.
Speaker B:Where did you get this information from?
Speaker B:You know, because otherwise you're going to get a fake study sometimes or yeah.
Speaker A:It just flat makes shit up.
Speaker A:And that's, that's a, that is a thing.
Speaker A:And yes I do, I know that there's not a lot of guardrails.
Speaker A:I also know that most human beings are capable of understanding that AI is fallible.
Speaker A:And I think anything if looking at any kind of image that AI has created, especially of a horse, if it can't figure out how to put a horse's feet on correctly at this point in time, it probably should not be Trusted with what you just blanket put out into the world.
Speaker A:The thing I find great about AI is it is a great balancer.
Speaker A:It definitely allows you to, to balance where your work style is and take some of the pressure off.
Speaker A:That said, there's something you pointed out earlier in this episode that I want to bring back up and that is that you have to front load the work.
Speaker A:So regardless, AI does not come out of the package.
Speaker A:It knows everything, but it doesn't know everything about you.
Speaker A:It doesn't know your perspective.
Speaker A:And when you start working with AI, you have to train it, you have to teach it who you are, what your business is, how you show up, your brand.
Speaker A:And if you don't know those things, then you have to figure those things out so that you can help AI understand you, so that you're able to get the best results out of AI that you can possibly get.
Speaker A:And so that training component is incredibly important.
Speaker A:Wouldn't you agree with that?
Speaker B:I would.
Speaker B:And I think that that's probably where we see a lot of people who are using the bare minimum of AI capabilities.
Speaker B:You know, where they just go on and say, you know, give me an email.
Speaker B:And it comes out very formula, you know, it's very, very systematic, I guess you could say.
Speaker B:It's not custom, it's not personalized, it's not giving anything that would make you, the reader, feel like you're actually talking to a person.
Speaker B:It sounds like it's coming from a robot.
Speaker B:So it is important with AI, if you're using it in your business, that you do allow it to learn some customizations, you know, phrases you use, the way that you talk, that sort of stuff.
Speaker B:So that when it is writing for you, it is producing something that sounds like you.
Speaker B:It can be very, very jarring as a reader to get an email that Kim wrote like Kim actually wrote, versus a robot wrote it saying it was Kim.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And if it's, it's very jarring in like how it sounds, you know, that can mess with that whole.
Speaker B:No, like trust factor, you know.
Speaker A:Yeah, definitely.
Speaker A:But what I'm finding is the.
Speaker A:More at this point I have extensively used ChatGPT like extensively.
Speaker A:I am, I am using it multiple hours a day for a lot of the work that I don't want to do or that I need help with.
Speaker A:But at this point it is getting better and better and better at being able to kick back things that I don't change.
Speaker A:That said, I read every word and I will go in and change it.
Speaker A:And many times what I come out with is an amalgamation that started with me, that chat added to and that I went back and perfected.
Speaker A:And that sort of three step process, process is a little bit of how I'm working with it.
Speaker B:That's the same for me actually.
Speaker B:That's pretty much the same system.
Speaker B:I never take anything that it actually fully puts out without like changing something.
Speaker A:Well and there's the old art, you know, adage of that we've had for technology for years.
Speaker A:Garbage in, garbage out, right?
Speaker A:What you put in it is going to result in something better coming out of it.
Speaker A:And I'm pretty strict with my chat.
Speaker A:I'm like, you don't go searching around and find other things that it's my words.
Speaker A:I'm going to give you the, I'm going to give you the rough, I'm going to ask you to put a little polish on it, but I don't want you to change it a lot.
Speaker A:And then I want you to do A, B, C, D, E, F with it because those are the things that I don't want to do.
Speaker A:So that's, that's the way that I am utilizing my AI tools.
Speaker A:And I think it's a really wise decision for people, no matter what their temperament is, to look at AI and how you can partner with it.
Speaker A:Super excited about the future with it as also super scared of how this is going to get misused or could be misused.
Speaker B:On that note, I think we probably should add a little bit of a caveat too that if you are the type of person who has struggled with mental health issues and stuff, I think it can be great in certain ways.
Speaker B:It can lift some of the, you know, media labor.
Speaker B:You don't want to do that sort of stuff off your plate.
Speaker B:However, you know, there have been cases reported where AI has kind of gone off the rails and you know, been very detrimental to someone's mental health and like.
Speaker B:So if you are the type of person or you have that kind of personality where mental health is kind of a forefront struggle for you, you need to be very careful in how you're using it.
Speaker A:I would agree with that.
Speaker A:And as somebody who works with people who have experienced trauma and are working through that, AI is not a place for you to do that.
Speaker A:No, that's not, that's not where this tool is effective.
Speaker A:It is effective at doing a lot of the things in your business that you find burdensome or exhausting because at the end of the day the whole point is to walk away from your business feeling good about what you've accomplished that day and also have plenty of energy in your battery to go play with the puppy or to go take a ride on your horse, or to go spend time with your family or to go out for a night on the town.
Speaker A:So that's the entire goal of this is to to have a business that supports the life you want to live.
Speaker A:Which is my tagline.
Speaker A:So yeah, worked that right in.
Speaker A:That didn't I?
Speaker A:Worked in.
Speaker B:I was like, that just worked right in, didn't it?
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Well, Betsy, thank you so much for hanging out with me today.
Speaker A:This has been a lot of fun.
Speaker A:A lot of fun.
Speaker A:Do you want to tease our upcoming adventure together?
Speaker B:Wow, you threw that at me.
Speaker B:I guess what I would say is for those of you who don't realize this yet, Kim is quite the prolific part podcaster these days and she has another podcast called the Business Animal, of which I will be joining her as her co host.
Speaker A:I'm super excited.
Speaker A:I the Business Animal started with Kara, Taylor Swift and I and Kara and Betsy.
Speaker A:It's actually I know Betsy through Cara or Phyllis.
Speaker A:I can't remember which one.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:It's all one big group.
Speaker A:It's all one big, big blur at this point.
Speaker A:But the Business Animal, I there were some things that I wanted to do that were not in the context of anim businesses and so that's why I began the Be More Business podcast.
Speaker A:I also wanted to explore some things that probably were outside the purview of that particular podcast.
Speaker A:But Betsy and I got to talking and I'm like, I love that podcast and we have so many loyal listeners over there.
Speaker A:So I think everyone is going to love that you're you're on and that that podcast is going to be back.
Speaker A: etime in the first quarter of: Speaker A:But depends on how exciting schedules work.
Speaker B:It depends on we have to add stuff to our, our day to day lives, right?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But with AI it's also much easier.
Speaker B:That is true.
Speaker B:Have you ever really sat and thought about like how did people accomplish like, like multi hyphenates like both you and I, where we do multiple businesses and multiple projects and stuff.
Speaker B:How on earth they accomplished that before AI?
Speaker B:I mean you were doing that for.
Speaker A:Years, but I just got really, really fast at things and there are times that I still beat AI in getting something done.
Speaker A:I am faster than it is.
Speaker A:I feel like it's catching up though.
Speaker A:I don't think it's gonna be too long and I don't know if that's just because I'm getting old and weary or whether it's just getting better and.
Speaker B:Better, but I think it may be a combination of both.
Speaker A:Honestly, maybe a combination of both.
Speaker A:But you know what is funny about that is I'm okay, I'm okay with it.
Speaker A:I am okay with it getting ahead in that area.
Speaker A:Because when it gets ahead in that area, all those hours and energy and time that I spent on those things, I now can spend to do something else like revive the business animal and have an ability to get it output and put out better content here and come up with better custom GPTs.
Speaker A:I mean, all of that energy gets to flow into just something better.
Speaker A:So I'm super excited and I'm happy for it to get up here and go past me.
Speaker B:Seriously.
Speaker B:I mean, listen, anything that can give me a little bit more time back to do something fun that I want to do is a good thing.
Speaker B:But that being said, I mean, it makes it sound like I hate my business and I love my business.
Speaker B:I mean, I will voluntarily work in my business a lot of times because I just like doing what I do and I like the people I work with and you know, so there's that.
Speaker A:Yeah, but that's the whole point of creating the business that supports the life you want to live.
Speaker A:It should be part of your life.
Speaker A:Because let's face it, as much as we want to say that we can shut the door and not think about our business as small business owners once we leave, it does not work that way.
Speaker A:The reality is, and, and, and also the reality is, is that our families and farms and animals and all of those things are equally impactful on our everyday and our business.
Speaker A:You cannot compartmentalize your life way and trying to do so will start to feel very futile very quickly.
Speaker B:But you can compartmentalize things that you don't want to do by using AI to help you build systems.
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker A:And so I'm going to end us here because we are going to get off on another rabbit hole.
Speaker A:And so if you want to help us or if you want to witness us chasing rabbits down many, many holes, join us over on the Business Animal.
Speaker A:Make sure you follow and subscribe over there as well as here.
Speaker A:That show is geared towards toward people who have animal based businesses and it is going to be mostly around marketing.
Speaker A:I won't say completely because there's the, there's a lot of things we want to explore that are not in that vein.
Speaker A:So both the shows go well together and would love to have you listen in both places if you find it valuable.
Speaker A:Thanks again Betsy and I will see you all in the next episode.
Speaker A:Thank you for listening to the Be More Business podcast where wisdom and innovation merge to create a business that's supports the life you want to live.
