AI Not Working? The ONE Fix for Real Results!

AI Not Working? The ONE Fix for Real Results!

Ever tried using AI and felt completely lost? You’re not alone. Many people find AI confusing, even though it’s supposed to make business simpler. This article explains why AI might not be working for you and shares a simple fix that helps our clients get real results quickly, even if they’re new to AI.

Why AI Isn’t Working for You

It’s easy to feel like AI is a big, complicated thing. You might think you need to be a tech expert or spend hours learning complex commands. But that’s not true. The problem often isn’t with you or the AI itself, but with how you’re approaching it. People often get stuck because they don’t know where to start or what to ask.

The Simple Fix for Real Results

We’ve seen this problem a lot, and there’s one main thing we tell our clients. It’s about changing your mindset and focusing on a clear goal. Instead of just playing around with AI, think about a specific task you want to get done. This makes a huge difference.

Key Takeaways

  • Start Small: Don’t try to solve all your business problems at once. Pick one small task.
  • Be Specific: Instead of "make my marketing better," try "write three social media posts about our new product."
  • Think Like a Conversation: Imagine you’re talking to a helpful assistant. What would you ask them to do?
  • Iterate: Your first try might not be perfect. That’s okay! Adjust your request and try again.

Getting Started in Under 30 Minutes

Here’s how you can start getting results fast:

  1. Identify One Task: What’s one thing you need to do today that AI could help with? Maybe it’s drafting an email, brainstorming ideas, or summarizing a document.
  2. Formulate a Clear Request: Write down exactly what you want the AI to do. Be as detailed as possible. For example, instead of "write an email," try "write a short, friendly email to a client confirming our meeting on Tuesday at 10 AM."
  3. Use a Simple AI Tool: Pick an easy-to-use AI tool. Many free options are available online.
  4. Input Your Request: Type your clear request into the AI tool.
  5. Review and Refine: Look at the AI’s output. Is it what you wanted? If not, tell the AI what to change. For example, "Make it sound more formal" or "Add a call to action."

By following these steps, you can quickly see how AI can help you. It’s not about being a genius; it’s about being clear and focused. Give it a try, and you might be surprised at how much you can get done!

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
