On today's episode of Creative Minds Smart Money, we’re diving into the world of AI for creative entrepreneurs! Whether you're a solopreneur, freelancer, or small business owner, AI can help you level up your business without the overwhelm. Our guest today, Nikki, founder of The Creative Copilot, breaks down how to integrate AI into your workflow and use it as your personal assistant (not a replacement) to save time and boost productivity.
Here’s what we’re covering today:

• Getting started with AI—how to use tools like ChatGPT or Claude to eliminate the annoying little tasks that drain your time and energy.
• Delegating with AI—how to train AI tools to understand your business, voice, and unique needs.
• The assistant mindset—how viewing AI as an assistant (instead of a robot takeover) can make a world of difference in reducing your workload.
• Busting AI myths—is AI going to take over the world, or just help with your to-do list? Spoiler: It’s the latter.
• The future of AI for creatives—why getting started now can give you a competitive edge and free up time for the things you actually enjoy.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the AI talk or just weren’t sure where to start, this episode is for you. Get ready to embrace AI without feeling like you need a tech degree.
