[Canada Growth Network - try us for $1.](https://tinyurl.com/3s5d3ayv?ref=blog.knack4business.com) --- You ask AI a question. You get an answer. Then you copy it, paste it, and do the real work yourself. After a month, you still have no extra time. That's what happens when you use AI like Google. [Ronnie Nijmeh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronnienijmeh/?ref=blog.knack4business.com) spent 18 years running a software company before he figured out a better way. At a Canada Growth Network session, he showed how one person can run a solo business like a studio, without being a coder. Ronnie Nijmeh, founder of [The Solo Creators](https://thesolocreators.com/?ref=blog.knack4business.com), spent 18 years running a software company that served over 650,000 customers. He sold it, and now he runs a solo business. He explains why he works in Claude Code instead of the chat tab, even though he is not a coder. Then he runs one prompt that turns a single video into a playbook, website audit, slide deck, social posts, and promo videos in about 20 minutes. --- ### Watch the full conversation here: --- Solo business owners can use AI as a working team instead of a chat box. Ronnie Nijmeh, founder of The Solo Creators, shows how Claude Code can turn one source video into a playbook, slides, social posts, and promo videos in about 20 minutes, even for people who cannot code. --- **Who this is for:** SMB owners and solopreneurs who want to save time on content and repetitive work. --- ### **Key Lessons** **1\. Use the tab where the work gets done.** Ronnie says to flip from the chat tab to the Claude Code or Codex tab, even if you are not a coder. It can open your files and folders, browse web pages, and deliver finished work. Everything stays on your machine. For example, his content run read a video, built slides with the brand logo, and wrote social posts without him touching a file. **2\. Stop chatting. Start managing.** Hand the AI a goal, not a question. It can start agents that split up the work and check each other's results. Think of a team that keeps working while you are away. Ronnie calls the shift "stop thinking of it as Google and start thinking of it as employees." **3\. Skills make the work repeatable.** A skill is a written set of instructions the AI follows the same way each time. Ronnie built a blog skill that has posted 83 articles since the end of June, and he says it lifted his Google impressions and clicks in a short time. He builds new skills when members ask for them. A website audit tool started as a request from Percy Barr. --- ### **Practical Steps** - **Pick one weekly task and write it as a goal.** Say what "done" looks like. Do not ask a question. Hand it to Claude Code or Codex. - **Build your second brain.** Write down your brand, voice, and style. Feed it your presentations, videos, and emails so the output sounds like you. - **Run a proven skill on content you already have.** Start with one video or one blog post and see what comes back. --- ### **About the Guest** Ronnie Nijmeh helps solo owners use AI to work faster and grow without adding staff.
