One full day with me to build your own AI around your business, your numbers and the way you run it, so you can use it to think through the decisions that matter.

New to AI? Start with the $49 Starter Kit
Most people start using AI for little things. A caption. An email. A promotion. A job ad. It is useful, but it still does not really know your business.
It does not know your books are already full on Thursdays, that you are thinking about another staff member, or that your rebooking has dropped. It does not know one service is not making enough money, or that you have a marketing problem rather than a content problem.
On the Build Day we build your actual business into your AI. So when you have a question about growth, money, clients, pricing, marketing or your team, it has the context to help you work through it.
And with Run It Like I Would, my commercial thinking is built in too.
The Build Day gives your AI the context to help you answer questions like these, using your own business information.
If you want my commercial lens built in as well, that is what Run It Like I Would gives you.
The difference is not more AI. It is whose thinking sits behind it.
Run it yourself
Your business. Your AI. Run by you.
We build your business, your numbers, your targets and the way you’ll use AI to understand what’s happening and decide what to do next. You learn how to use it to see what is happening in the business and work through your own decisions.
It reads your numbers against the targets you set, tells you what changed and why, and helps you see what to look at next.
Best for: “I want to understand my business better and learn to use AI myself.”

Run it like I would
Your business. My commercial thinking. Run by you.
This is not really an AI set-up day. It is a day where I put me into your business.
Everything in Run It Yourself, plus my industry targets, my way of prioritising and the key points I would cover with your team, with my monthly updates for 12 months.
So your AI does not just tell you what is happening. It helps you see what matters, what needs attention and what I would focus on next.
Best for: “I want my AI to read my business the way Vanessa would.”

Online or in person, same price. For salon and clinic owners, barbers, sole traders and brands. What we build on the day depends on what you bring, and you get that list when you book. Brand founders, start with Let’s chat below so we can set the day up around your store.
Before the day
You work through the Starter Kit and bring your business information. I go through your files beforehand, so we spend the day building, not sorting.
On the day
We set up your account, write your Business Brief, set your targets from your own numbers, connect your business information and build the way you’ll use AI to understand your business each month.
Before you leave
You run it yourself. Twice. The second time, I hand over the keyboard.
After the day
Your AI Playbook, your monthly reminder emails and a 30 minute call with me after your first month.
Bring the parts of the business you actually need help thinking through. We build the context into your AI on the day.
“I genuinely feel so much more confident making big decisions because I finally understand the numbers behind them.”

Yes. That is exactly why we build it together rather than handing you another course. You do not need to know how AI works. You need to know your business. I guide you through the setup, and you run it yourself before you leave.
The account is yours, in your name, and the monthly subscription is paid direct to the AI company. We go through which one and why when we talk before your day.
Same price. Online can start straight away. In person is available when I am next in your city, or sooner with travel at cost.
You get the list when you book. I go through your files before the day, so we spend our time building rather than sorting through data.
You leave with your AI Playbook and a 30 minute call with me after your first month. You also get a monthly reminder email with your files and the exact words to type: 3 months on Run It Yourself, 12 months on Run It Like I Would, along with my monthly updates.
A course teaches you how to use AI. Coaching gives you someone to talk to. The Build Day puts your business into your own AI and leaves you with something you keep using yourself. With Run It Like I Would, my commercial thinking is built into it as well.
Once, with 48 hours’ notice (7 days if I am travelling to you), and your deposit carries to the new date. The deposit is not refundable.
The kit covers the foundations of how to set up your AI, in hair and beauty language. It is also the first step of every Build Day.
I personally receive every contact request, and you will be speaking with me, not someone on my team. We can talk about where you are at with your business, and I will tell you straight which option fits.
Let’s chatIf what you actually want is someone to do the numbers for you, then consulting would be better suited. The Build Day is you learning to run it yourself.
