A playbook for those who want to take operational control of their AI destiny.

This book is an invitation to stop thinking like a worker and start thinking like an operator. Dawn of the Dashboard Business shows you how to build a one-person, AI-powered company that runs through systems, automations, and dashboards — not through constant hustle-culture effort.

Instead of doing the work, you learn how to build the machine that does the work. Your role shifts to strategist, orchestrator, and observer. You spend your time checking the gauges, making smart adjustments, and letting the system hum along.

At the center of this book is a simple but powerful premise: AI tools allow a single person to do what once required a team. With AI, automation, and real-time dashboards, you can run a business that creates value continuously, while you’re doing something else entirely. The book walks you through how to design that infrastructure deliberately, so your business becomes something you operate, not something that consumes you.

And here’s the key insight: there are two outcomes when you do this work. Either you build a profitable, automated business that gives you leverage, flexibility, and control … or you emerge with a portfolio of real AI work product and operational thinking that makes you extraordinarily attractive in the job market.

In other words, even if the business itself never becomes your long-term vehicle, you still walk away as a highly credible AI practitioner who knows how modern, AI-first operations actually work. Some people will walk away with both a business and a job.

The author’s perspective comes from experience.

Eric Goeres is a career executive in digital innovation who has spent more than 20 years building and operating enterprise-level, dashboard-driven businesses. Dawn of the Dashboard Business distills those principles, incorporates 2026 AI tools, and makes them accessible to solo operators, independent professionals, and anyone who wants agency in an AI-shaped future.

This is not a book about passive income or shortcuts. It is a playbook for taking operational control—of your business, your skills, and your relevance. Whether your goal is independence, optionality, or career resilience, Dashboard Business shows you how to build something real—and how to future-proof yourself in the process.
