Save 2 Hours a Week: The Small Business Guide to Microsoft 365 AI

Grab your Free AI Prompt Starter Pack here: https://lightlever.ca/free_guide

Are you tired of AI giving you generic, useless answers? In this guide, I’m showing small business owners how to stop treating AI like a search engine and start treating it like a teammate.

I’ve spent months testing prompts inside Microsoft 365 to find out what actually saves time—and what is just a distraction. I’m introducing the Meta-Prompt Method, a way to teach AI your brand voice and business goals so it delivers work you can actually use.

In this free guide, you’ll learn how to:

Automate Filing: Move email attachments to SharePoint automatically.

Master Follow-ups: Draft professional client emails in seconds.

Summarize Chaos: Turn messy email threads into clear action items.

Run Better Meetings: Generate agendas and recaps that actually assign tasks.

– and a few other valuable things!

Team Sites vs Communication Sites: A Practical Comparison

What’s the real difference between a SharePoint Team Site and a Communication Site—and why does it matter?

In this video, I explain:
• The purpose of each site type
• Collaboration vs broadcasting
• One-to-many vs many-to-many communication
• Microsoft 365 Groups and why they matter
• Permissions, layout, and real-world use cases

Choosing the wrong site type can create problems later, especially when building an intranet or department portal. This walkthrough helps you make the right choice from the start.

If you’re working with SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365, or building an intranet, this is a foundational concept you need to understand.

3 Ways to Convert Excel to SharePoint Lists (And the One I Recommend)

In this video, Gerry shows three practical ways to convert Excel data into SharePoint Lists — and explains which method you should actually use in real projects.

Excel is great, but when your data is just rows and columns, SharePoint Lists give you permissions, views, forms, automation, and structure that spreadsheets can’t.

You’ll learn:

How to import Excel directly into a SharePoint List (and the hidden problems)

Why internal column names matter for Power Automate, Power Apps, and JSON formatting

How to copy and paste Excel data safely using Grid View

When Power Automate is the right (and wrong) choice for loading data

The recommended approach: designing your list properly before importing data

This is real-world SharePoint guidance — not theory.

If you work with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or Excel regularly, this will save you time and frustration.
