I am an artist and I have a creative business. I create art to sell but I also sell prints, cards and other items with my art on them. I’ve written 2 gratitude/art journals with the help of ChatGPT. I also have an art journaling podcast and a Skool community. I have a website, an Etsy shop, an art storefront and a Faire storefront, none of which I have time to keep up with. I do vendor shows, try to get my art in galleries and shops. I have an email list, but don’t have time to send regular communications. I teach art when I can get people to sign up. Earlier this week, I switched from ChatGPT to Claude. After 24 hours, I’ve already gotten frustrated with Claude. After spending over an hour working with Claude on my podcast, I ended our conversation. Two hours later I went back to our conversation to complete the tasks I needed to do for the podcast – write the show notes, posts for IG/FB and Skool. It did not remember anything about what we had worked on earlier. I listened to the recordings of the AI Advantage Summit and I’m not sure if the AI Bootcamp can help me or not. I need help managing the sites/storefronts, finding out about upcoming art showing opportunities, and getting my digital and physical product listings/mockups created. I really don’t want to continue doing vendor shows as they are physically exhausting and not very profitable. I’m a one woman shop and I am doing everything myself. I don’t even have time to create art. I’ve paid for programs before and honestly, it wasn’t that they were bad programs, I just didn’t have time to complete them. My goal this year for my business is to spend less money than I bring in each month. Basically, make a profit, even if small. I have other journals I want to write. I want to teach online. It’s been suggested that I start a YouTube Channel. Who has the time??? I’ve been a member of the AI Advantage Skool Community since it started. I was also in the Master Mind Program before that. So, before I sign up, I just want to make sure I’m not throwing good money after bad. Can the AI Bootcamp help with the types of tasks I need help with, like Etsy, Faire, etc.?

I've been working with ChatGPT for almost a year now. It has helped me write, script and polish my meditative art journals and my art journaling podcast. It's been very important to me that as I work with ChatGPT (I call it Chad), that "he" gets to know my "voice". So whenever we collaborate on something, when I change something, I let him know what and why I changed it. After the sessions yesterday, especially after Molly's session, I decided to ask Chad this question: "I'm trying to decide what my "voice" is. Based on the conversations we've had and what my business has been from what you know, how would you describe me, my offering(s) and my "why"? The answers came back pretty spot on. But then I asked "How can I turn all this into something, an infographic, video or web page that would intrigue people enough to want to learn more? How do I add my personal story to this? Do you feel you, as my co-creator, are missing some pieces that would help you help me?" Again, the answers were very clear and on point. His recommendation is to create a simple "Start here" page, a short personal brand video or reel and a supporting visual graphic of carousel post. I'll be working on that to fine-tune my offering(s) and figure out how to build a successful art/art journaling business. I know I have something to offer but still trying to figure it all out. First steps, second steps, etc., then on to what do I offer now, what do I offer next? I didn't use a scripted prompt to have this conversation. Just said what was in my mind and on my heart. I haven't listened to today's sessions. I know there is a session with Arthur Brooks talks about purpose and connection. Can't wait to watch that one.

I attended the last one (November, I think), but I've already got commitments for the dates of this summit. Can I register and then listen to replays?

That should make more people pause. Not because building a weekly plan is impossible, but because so many professionals are still spending far too much time organizing work that should already be moving. Monday starts with sorting through scattered notes, revisiting half-finished ideas, rebuilding context from the week before, and trying to decide what matters most. It feels productive, but it is often a hidden time leak. That is why this matters. If AI can help create a full weekly plan in 8 minutes, this is not just a useful productivity trick. It is a sign that a lot of the planning friction people have accepted as normal no longer needs to stay normal. When AI can turn messy inputs into a structured plan in minutes, the conversation changes quickly. It stops being about whether AI is useful and starts being about how much time is still being lost by not using it well. That is the urgent part. The people who learn to use AI for planning, prioritization, and execution support will operate differently. They will start the week with more clarity. They will reduce time-to-decision. They will cut context switching. They will spend less time figuring out what to do and more time doing the work that actually matters. That advantage compounds. A weekly plan usually requires reviewing notes, pulling tasks from different tools, prioritizing deadlines, mapping meetings, identifying bottlenecks, and breaking larger goals into next actions. None of that is unusually difficult, but it is repetitive, mentally draining, and easy to let expand into far more time than it should take. AI can accelerate that process dramatically when it is given the right inputs and constraints. That does not mean AI replaces judgment. It means AI can remove the blank page, reduce mental clutter, and handle the first layer of admin so people can focus on what actually needs human thinking. The priorities still need to be evaluated. The trade-offs still need to be considered. The final decisions still belong to the person leading the week. But instead of spending 45 minutes to an hour trying to create momentum, AI can generate a strong first version in 8 minutes and make refinement much faster.

New month, new window. April is a reminder that progress does not come from waiting for the perfect moment. It comes from choosing one thing, committing to it, and building momentum before doubt has a chance to slow us down. This is the month to stop overthinking and start moving. What are we building? A better system? A new offer? Stronger habits? More confidence with AI? More time back in the week? Whatever it is, April is an opportunity to create real traction, not just more intentions. The biggest wins rarely come from doing everything at once. They come from picking a clear goal and working it consistently. One focused month can change a lot. It can cut cycle time, reduce procrastination, sharpen skills, and create the kind of progress that compounds fast. So let’s make this month count. Build the workflow. Launch the idea. Learn the tool. Finish the draft. Start the project. Protect the time. Use April to create something future you will thank you for. No drifting. No waiting. No playing small. April is here.
