I understand your world. (and it's a tough gig.)
Let's be honest, does this feel a little too familiar?
Info Box
Every empty storefront feels like a personal failure. You walk down the street and your stomach sinks, terrified that one "For Lease" sign will turn into two, and then three, undermining the vibrant downtown you're working so hard to build.
Info Box
You're constantly "herding cats." You're trying to get the 65-year-old baker and the 28-year-old boutique owner on the same page. You need to show them all tangible value for the levy they pay, or you'll hear about it at the next AGM.
Info Box
You're buried in the day-to-day grind. You simply don't have time for abstract strategies. You need practical tools that solve today's problems.
Let's give your members an unfair advantage.
My training isn't about turning your local shop owners into tech geniuses. It's about giving them simple AI-powered shortcuts to solve their biggest headaches. I call them "Main Street Survival Tools."
We focus on the immediate wins that make a real difference:

Effortless marketing
I'll show them how to use AI to write social media posts, create event flyers, and respond to customer reviews in minutes, not hours.

Compete with the big guys:
We'll cover simple AI tools that help them create professional-looking product photos and marketing materials, even on a shoestring budget.

More time, more sales:
The goal is simple: use AI to save time on the back-end so they can spend more time with their customers on the front-end.
This is how you prove the value of the levy.
