Small businesses that don't adopt AI now won't just fall behind — they'll struggle to survive the next 5 years. We broke down exactly why the tipping point is NOW and what you can do about it. Read our latest: spartandigitalventures.com/blog/ai-revolu…

@LeadResistance @cptdankkk Equity doesn’t mean that they have to have a voting right.

@SpartanDigitalV @cptdankkk There have been 529 players in the history of Boston Celtics….. and you believe it is an employer’s job to make them all owners? Can you name an organization that has 529 owners?

Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises “Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong” “I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it” “I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”

@katsuxbt Financial manager would be a small cash outlay to invest the money so it lasts a life time

Odell Beckham Jr. reveals the real math on a $100,000,000 NFL contract: • On paper → $100,000,000 • Actually guaranteed → $60,000,000 • After taxes → $12,000,000/yr • Car, house for mom, living → $4,000,000/yr • What’s left → $8,000,000/yr • Five years. Then it’s over. Forever “Can you make that last forever?”

@riponthedip @TheChiefNerd Can’t wait for the Optimus robot from there!

@SpartanDigitalV @TheChiefNerd Correct - and continues to pay since Tesla Fremont is the largest auto manufacturer in California by far

Gavin Newsom Says Elon Musk is ‘Turning His Back’ on California “Regulation in California created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire, maybe trillionaire, that he’s become … Now he’s turning his back on the state that promoted him.”

@PlayoffLucro @TheDunkCentral He’s 41; embiid will play five games and the other three will be fighting each other for shots.

@TheDunkCentral League is shaking nothing can stop what’s coming

Brian Windhorst says he’s hearing that LeBron signing with a team other than Cleveland is a done deal. "I'm hearing stuff in other cities too. I'm not gonna say who but I had somebody on the phone with me today that I consider a good source who was swearing it's a done deal in another city," (Via @ESPNCleveland )

@BetMGM Easy to cherry pick over ten years; same video could be made for pierce and Tatum

This video is going triple platinum in Boston today

@PlayoffDude @617kenny Followed

@617kenny 👋🏼

You can disagree, but I think the Celtics will regret choosing Jaylen Brown as the one to trade instead of Jayson Tatum. Brown is an MVP and has already proven he can carry a team. Also, Brown is a better player overall.

@Alexzachary305 @WadexFlash Tatum isn’t top five talent-maybe top five diva. I’d keep jb over Tatum after acl year every day of the week. He thinks he’s Kobe but he’s nowhere close.

Let me reword that, factoring in reality: 1.) Go to Miami, get the sun, no taxes, the GM telling you to keep your mouth shut, and absolutely no depth. Ceiling of a 4-6 seed 2.) Go to Boston, play with another top 5 player in the NBA, have an actual deep squad and be immediate east favorites and legit title contenders

Giannis Antetokounmpo you have 2 options: 1. Go to Miami, you get the Sun you always wanted, you will be loved by all Heat fans, have a stronger deeper squad and be the face of the franchise for many years 2. Go to Boston, be forced to be Tatum’s sidekick, be compared to JB when you don’t play well and not be able to wear number 34 Make the right choice.

@jasononfirms The real test isn't the read side. It's whether AI can write JEs back through QBXML without breaking the audit trail. That's where most integrations stop short.

Hear me out: Claude Cowork, but it's connected to QuickBooks desktop via the desktop SDK Is this the final accounting platform?

@DenizTheTrader Love this. For small biz owners, #4 is the foundation — but "real demand" means nothing without clean financials. Your books tell you whether you can actually afford to invest in the other streams. Know your numbers before you scale.

5️⃣ Build multiple income streams: 💹 Trade for cash flow 📈 Invest for long-term growth 🏠 Buy assets that generate rent 🛍️ Build a small business with real demand 💻 Sell digital products, services, or knowledge online One income pays the bills. Multiple incomes build freedom.

7 steps to be RICH! Most people make money. Very few know how to build wealth. Thread: 🧵

@Hinshelwood_S Great summary! One add: clean books don't just save on taxes — they give owners real-time clarity to make smarter decisions on pricing, hiring, and growth. The ROI on good accounting goes way beyond tax season.

A small business accountant can assist with bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, financial reporting, and compliance. These services help business owners stay organized and focus more on growth and operations. businesspartnermagazine.com/how-and-when-t… #Entrepreneurship #Finance

Biggest mistake small business owners make with AI: treating it like a search engine. AI works best with context + a clear role. Instead of: "Write me a follow-up email" Try: "Act as a sales expert. Write a follow-up to a client who went quiet after a proposal." Night and day difference.

@robertcodesai Curious what your 3 are — time saved on admin is a game-changer. For most small biz owners I work with, the biggest wins come from automating the repetitive stuff: scheduling, follow-ups, basic reporting. Frees them up to actually work on the business instead of in it.

@micmannsa This is the right question. Most AI tools are designed around the assumption of existing infrastructure and tech literacy. The small business owner working 60hr weeks with no IT dept is a massive underserved market — and the ones who crack that UX problem will win big.

Most AI tools are solving rich-world problems. Who's building for the small business owner in Johannesburg who can't afford an accountant? The taxi driver who needs route intelligence? The farmer in Limpopo without reliable data? That's where the real market is. Who's working on it?

@RPA4Business This reframe is gold. Specificity is everything with AI prompts — vague questions get vague answers. "Five simple steps" forces the model to actually structure a plan. Small business owners who get this see dramatically better results than those just asking broad questions.

Overwhelmed by complex AI answers? 🤯 Try this simple fix: Ask for a step-by-step breakdown. Instead of: ❌ “How do I automate my business?” Try: ✅ “Break down how to implement AI in a small business in five simple steps.” Who’s using this technique already? ⬇️

@KentegrityAI Follow-up automation is so underrated. Most owners spend 3+ hrs/week chasing leads manually — that's time they'll never get back. The Day 2/7/14 cadence is the sweet spot: enough space to not feel pushy, enough touches to actually convert.

The #1 time-waster for small business owners isn't meetings. It's chasing follow-ups. Set up one AI workflow: 3 auto follow-ups to silent leads (Day 2, 7, 14 with value adds). This single change increased response rates 60%. What's your biggest bottleneck?

@_zackholley_ Love this — 250 prompts is such a practical starting point. Most small biz owners don't need more software, they just need the right prompts to unlock what they already have. What workflow in the toolkit are people finding most useful?

@morganranstrom 100% this. Your zone of genius is building the business — not reconciling transactions. When the books are clean and current, you actually know what decisions to make. Delegate the details, lead the strategy.

A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of sheep... or with doing his own bookkeeping. It's time to focus on the things only YOU can do. That's how you rule the jungle. Get more tips on running a business: lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/kEVbsCA
