Xero told me I was owed $132,000 I’m not. The dashboard was right. My books weren’t. Yesterday I asked Claude to build me a one-page Xero dashboard.. It returned a lovely summary. Beautiful top line: customers owed me $132,000. They don’t. I’d just never marked a few (I’m too embarrassed to say how many 🫣) […]
What not to share with ChatGPT
I’m careful about what I put into AI, and ChatGPT was still using my chats for training. Here’s what small business owners should never share with it, and how to switch training off in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
WordPress or AI? Wrong Question.
The better question Clients often ask me whether they should build on WordPress or use one of the new AI website builders. My answer is always the same: it depends on what you want your website to do, and how you like to work. I don’t only build WordPress sites. I build whatever suits the […]
Magai All Your AI In One Place
Which AI model should you actually use? Wrong question. Every second person asks me the same thing: “What AI model should I use? ChatGPT? Claude? Gemini?” Here’s the problem: it has no fixed answer. The models keep leapfrogging each other. Whatever’s best this month probably won’t be by Christmas. Right now my favourite is Claude. […]
Writing sales copy when you hate writing sales copy
After working with small businesses around the Atherton Tablelands for years, I’ve noticed they’re great at what they do but terrible at promoting it. Not because they don’t know their business. They know it better than anyone. It’s more that sitting down to write a Facebook ad or a newsletter and trying to sound persuasive […]
Invoice data to spreadsheet with AI
Many businesses I work with share a common problem. Invoices and receipts come in from every direction. If you’ve ever tried to track all of this properly – pulling out the totals, the dates, the supplier names, the GST – you’ll know it’s one of those jobs that either takes forever or doesn’t get done […]
What do you say when someone leaves you a bad Google review?
Do you know that sick feeling when you check your Google reviews and see a one-star review? The one you’ve been meaning to respond to for three weeks because you either want to say something you’d regret, or you genuinely don’t know how to handle it professionally without sounding defensive? I used to do the […]
That thing in your shed isn’t going to sell itself
Everyone has things lying around – in the shed, carport, or under the house – to sell on Facebook Marketplace. Old tools, a spare fridge, a kayak, a roof rack, whatever. You know it’s worth something, but you haven’t done it because writing the ad feels like more effort than it’s worth. By the way, […]

Thur – AI Strategy Session 2025
I’m crap at writing marketing and sales copy (really bad!). But I now save time and write far better copy by using ChatGPT (and other similar tools) as my AI assistants. This is where they excel! I currently use ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. (and many others !) BTW Google’s new Nano Banana drew all […]
