From Grind to Growth: The AI Setup Workbook
PDF · 26 pages · six prompts · instant download
$37 AUD

You started for freedom. Then the grind took over.
-
Every price, every job and every answer lives in your head.
-
Your team asks you the same questions over and over.
-
You've tried AI, and what comes back is generic.
-
You can't step away, and you're not sure what to fix first.
If you're just starting out, you might not be there yet. But it's coming, unless you set the foundations up first.
Why AI isn't helping you yet
AI can sort your enquiries, work out quotes, turn the way you do a job into a procedure and get a new starter up to speed. It can do real work in your business.
​
But only if it knows how your business works. What you sell and for how much. Who does what. What happens from the first enquiry to the paid invoice. Without that, it guesses, and its guesses are average.
​
Grind to Growth fixes that. You get your business out of your head and onto paper, in a way AI can actually use.
What you'll build
Three documents that teach AI how your business works.
-
Business Context. What you do, who for, what you charge and what customers can expect.
-
How We Work. Who does what, who decides what, and how the work actually gets done.
-
How We Communicate. How your business talks to customers, staff and suppliers.
Each one comes in two versions. A full one your AI works from, and a short one you can hand to staff, contractors or customers.
What's inside
-
Get set up: what to gather, where your documents live, and how to pace it.
-
Build your three documents, one prompt each.
-
Write your AI's working instructions and load everything in.
-
Test drive it on a real job from last week, with and without your documents.
-
Give AI its first real job, plus five jobs to try.
-
Share the short versions with your team and let them pick holes in it.
-
Run your Wheel Gap Check to see which part of your business needs work next.
-
Fix it when it goes wrong.

Is this for you?
It's for you if:
-
You run a service business in its first five years.
-
You've been heads-down running the business and never got any of it written down.
-
You want AI doing real work, not writing generic posts.
-
You're happy to put in a few focused hours to get it right.
It's not for you if:
-
You want a five-minute shortcut.
-
You're after a done-for-you service.
Honest about the effort
This isn't a five-minute freebie. Most people take four to six hours, either over a week in short sessions or in one day. The prompts push for real prices, real steps and real names. That's what makes it work. You do it once, and then your AI and your team work from the same page.
Who we are​
We're Kate De Jong and Sam Morris, hosts of the Thriving Business Podcast.
​
We've got over 30 years of business ownership between us, and we still run our businesses every day. We both have AI working in our own businesses, and this workbook is how we set it up.
​
No theory. No fluff. Just what's worked for us.
Questions
Do I need a paid AI plan?
No. It works with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot.
I'm not good with tech. Can I still do it?
Yes. Each prompt does the heavy lifting. You answer questions about your business. You don't need to be good with tech.
How long does it take?
Most people take four to six hours, either in short sessions over a week or in one day.
What format is it?
A 26-page PDF. You get it straight away after you pay.
Can I get a refund?
It's a digital download, so there are no refunds for change of mind.
