Don’t Build an AI Department. Build an AI Habit.

Why this matters:
You don’t need an “AI strategy” right now. You need an AI rhythm. Contractors who win with AI aren’t building departments — they’re building habits. Small, repeatable loops that take 2 minutes, save 20, and actually get used.

Most AI Plans Die in the Meeting

We’ve seen it over and over:

• A team tests a flashy tool

• They brainstorm ideas

• They make a big plan

• Then… nothing

Why? Because nobody owns it.
It’s too big. Too abstract.
And no one knows where to start on Monday.

The Better Move: A Tiny Habit That Sticks

Forget the “strategy deck.”
Try this instead:

Pick one task this week. One thing that drains you.

Then:

1. Write a quick prompt to handle it

2. Try it 2–3 times

3. Save the best version in a shared doc or note

That’s it.

Why This Works

• It’s small enough to actually do

• It creates a repeatable loop

• It builds trust without needing buy-in from the whole team

One prompt becomes two.
Two becomes five.
And suddenly, AI is just part of how you work.
