One of many challenges that an entrepreneur faces when starting a business is lack of resources. In the digital age, this barrier has been softening. The Internet, open-source software, and 3-D printing have made it so much easier to tackle business ideas that once could only be accomplished by large organizations with deep pockets.

AI is catapulting us forward by providing us tools that reduce the initial HR expenses we once needed to invest in to launch a business, especially in operations / admin. Most of these tools cost money but are a fraction of the cost of hiring someone. Microsoft’s Power Platform is one of the more well-known, low-code suite of tools, providing incredible versatility in operations design and implementation.  Microsoft has a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching how to best use the various programs and within the channel has links to other channels that focus on each individual app.
