About this ebook

The ChatGPT Automation Playbook is a detailed, practical guide to ChatGPT Automation Playbook for Small Business Owners for readers who want a clear path from understanding the topic to using it confidently in real situations. The book is designed as a structured learning companion rather than a shallow overview: it introduces the core ideas, explains why they matter, then develops them through realistic examples, guided practice, scenario-based explanations, and common mistakes to avoid. Readers are taken step by step from foundational concepts into everyday applications, with each chapter building on the previous one so the material feels progressive, usable, and easy to revisit. The main areas of focus include The Time-Leak Diagnosis, The Automation Ladder, Your ChatGPT Command Center, The Prompt Library That Pays for Itself, Customer Service That Never Sleeps, From Blank Page to Published Post, The Lead Machine, Back Office on Autopilot, Three Owners Who Automated Their Way Out of the Weeds, The Tool Stack Decision Guide, giving the book a concrete learning arc that moves from orientation and confidence-building to applied communication, problem solving, and independent practice. The writing style is direct, supportive, and accessible, making the book suitable for self-study, classroom reinforcement, professional development, or personal improvement. It emphasizes practical understanding over abstract theory, so readers can immediately connect the lessons to conversations, decisions, habits, and challenges they are likely to face outside the page. By the end of the book, readers should have not only a stronger grasp of the subject, but also a collection of repeatable strategies, useful language patterns, mental models, and practical routines they can continue applying after they finish reading.

About the author

Brian Logan is a small business automation consultant and the founder of *The Automated Owner*, a newsletter that shows business owners how to put everyday AI to practical use. He grew up stocking shelves and answering phones in his family's hardware store, which taught him two things he still operates by: the work is rarely glamorous, and a small team can outwork a large one when it commits to better systems.

After more than a decade in marketing operations — building the processes, templates, and automations that let growing companies move fast without hiring their way out of problems — Brian became an early adopter of ChatGPT and began applying the same playbook discipline to AI. What started as experiments with email drafts and support replies grew into an automation practice he now teaches to small business owners across dozens of industries.

He writes about AI and automation in his newsletter, leads workshops for local business groups, and advises entrepreneurs on building simple, human-checked workflows that produce results without replacing the relationships that make small business worth the effort. *The ChatGPT Automation Playbook* is his first book, and its thesis is the one he has repeated in every workshop he has taught: you do not need to be a technologist to use AI — you need a playbook.
