This morning I did something past-Chris would have laughed at: I ran my entire monthly finance workflow through my ChatGPT clone — and it worked. For years, the first of the month has been this mental marathon. QuickBooks, Stripe, Wells Fargo, taxes, P&L checks, cross-referencing numbers… it’s not hard, it’s just weighty. The kind of work that eats up creative bandwidth. So I finally taught my clone how I do finances: - the exact order I open tabs - the way I click through QuickBooks - what I double-check - what I usually forget - what matters most for tax planning - what ties back into Monument Glamping growth It all lives in the clone now.And it remembers.And it doesn’t get tired.And it doesn’t skip steps. Now I simply say: “Run my finance workflow.” And suddenly it feels like I hired a seasoned financial assistant who already understands my businesses, my habits, my goals, and my tolerance for chaos. The surprising part? It’s not the automation — it’s the clarity. It’s the way my thinking stays sharper because the clone keeps the process tight, consistent, and free of the little errors that creep in when life gets busy. This is what I’m leaning into more and more: not AI replacing me, but AI helping me think straighter… so I can put my energy into the work that actually grows things. I’m just sharing what I’m doing. If it sparks something for you, even better.

Quick reminder for tomorrow’s 10am MT meetup — and honestly, I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll probably just be a few of us: Tom, Lance, and Andra. Real friends. People I’ve actually shared years of life with, not just usernames and profile pics. That alone makes this whole thing worth showing up for. I’m still figuring out what this group will become, but right now it feels like a little self-improvement crew that’s starting to get some real momentum. Tomorrow I want to tell you about a $1000 program I bought into recently. It’s already blowing my mind… and honestly, it’s part of what pushed me to start this group in the first place. I’ll share the behind-the-scenes stuff if you show up. 😉 See you at 10am MT. (selfie of me babysitting Ezra yesterday, my 21st grandchild)
