A workshop for texas small business owners
Build your own AI-assisted lead-gen system, in one day, and own it.
We give Texas small business owners who’ve never had a real lead-gen system one day to build one themselves — AI-assisted, fully theirs, with nothing left running that needs us afterward.
Sound familiar?
Two ways small business owners end up here
You’ve never had a real system
Maybe a Facebook page you don’t post to and a website nobody wrote. You’ve heard “AI” everywhere for two years and you’re tired of the noise — you just don’t know where to actually start.
You’ve tried AI tools, but nothing stuck
You’ve used ChatGPT for an email or two, but you’ve never turned it into an actual system. You’ve been burned by a subscription that promised automation and delivered a glorified chatbot.
About Own It
We wasted thousands finding this out the hard way.

“As we tried to create lead gen pipelines for our own small businesses, we learned what to do and what NOT to do, including wasting thousands on pre-packaged AI tools with big promises. As we shared what we learned with fellow small business owners, we realized there was a need and an opportunity to be of service to our fellow small business owners.”
How it works
One day. Five parts. Thirteen steps.
Each part hands something real to the next — by the afternoon you leave with a working system, not a framework to go implement later.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
No. Own It is built for owners with no marketing or technical background. Everything is explained in plain language, and you’ll be typing real prompts into an AI chat tool, not writing code.
One-time. There’s a single fixed price for the workshop and nothing recurring afterward. Everything you build is yours to keep, with no login and no monthly bill.
A laptop, a free account with an AI chat tool such as Claude or ChatGPT, and whatever you already have for your business — a logo, brand colors, or existing social accounts. If you have none of that yet, that’s fine too.
Partial progress still counts. You leave with a written 30/60/90-day plan for anything you don’t finish live, built from the same prompts you used in the room.
No. You build everything yourself, live, in the room. Nothing is handed off to be finished later, and there’s no retainer or ongoing contract to sign.
