How I Multiplied My Income and Happiness Through AI

Artificial intelligence is no longer a buzzword, it's necessity for professionals striving to stay ahead. According to recent data, 68% of small businesses are adopting AI in 2025 (SumGeniusAI), yet many struggle with scaling its value, with 74% of companies facing barriers in achieving real results (BCG 2024 report, trends continuing into 2025).

As the founder of Kefford Consulting LLC, I've seen firsthand how AI can bridge those gaps, turning everyday challenges into foundational wins. But my journey with AI wasn't born in a tech lab, it started from scratch, driven by a simple desire to help entrepreneurs like you build confidence with practical, no-nonsense plans that deliver measurable growth.

My story begins with over 20 years in sales and consulting. I learned the hard way that small businesses often overlook or undervalue the basics. Professionals need outside perspective to help identify hidden gaps, refocusing on consistent actions, and turning that consistency into 20-30% growth. For the last five years as a top Indeed rep, I closed big deals, spotted inefficiencies in real time, and advised CEO's to freelancers and side hustlers on grassroots strategies. I accumulated a wealth of real-world problem-solving experience. When the business landscape evolved (especially with AI’s rapid rise) I realized I had to adapt to stay current and deliver even more value.

That's when I dove headfirst into learning new tools.

Starting from zero technical background, I taught myself the fundamentals through online resources, trial-and-error experiments, and late-night coding sessions. What emerged was a personal database, a curated collection of my experiences, insights, and proven tactics for addressing common pain points like stalled pipelines, inconsistent lead generation, and decision-making overwhelm. This wasn't about replacing human expertise; it was about amplifying it. By integrating AI, I automated parts of the consulting process, creating a system that quickly analyzes a business's unique needs and delivers tailored, practical solutions, step by step, without the fluff. I want our users to see foundational results built on rock-solid fundamentals. I want you to feel confident and know you have a partner committed to your gains!

At Kefford Consulting, this AI-backed approach powers our Automated Consultant Toolkit (A.C.T.), which identifies gaps and crafts roadmaps designed for small business owners, freelancers, and side hustlers worldwide (with a special nod to markets in North America, Australia, and the UK). Whether you're a Boise-based plumber looking to refocus daily outreach for local leads or an Australian non-profit seeking donor engagement, our system draws from my database to provide proven, actionable plans that emphasize consistency and quick wins.

And to ensure it's not a one-size-fits-all, every Playbook deliverable comes with our 30-day free tweak guarantee: If the initial strategy needs refinement to better align with your goals (or you forgot some details in the consult), we'll adjust it at no extra cost, proving our commitment to your success.

What makes this special? In a world where 42% of enterprises are using AI but small businesses lag due to complexity (Exploding Topics 2025), we've made it accessible and trustworthy. I'm not here to sell hype. I'm a real person building a legacy, humbly sharing what I've learned so you save time, avoid costly mistakes, and focus on what matters: growing your business with confidence. AI has allowed me to scale my experiences, helping more people than ever while staying true to the human touch that defines great consulting.
