Welp, I did it. I remember a few years ago when ChatGPT was just starting out and I kept thinking to myself, "No way. What they're saying they can do is too easy. It's gotta be cheating or something." Did ChatGPT, then Claude, come up with any of the ideas, really? No... most of the conversation was more of the, "I have too many ideas and I don't know what to do first," variety. "Please, Mr. Computerman... tell me what to do -- but that? Where you just told me where to start? I don't want to do that." What can I say? I'm pretty stubborn. And then, at 1 am, after (too many) hours of hemming and hawing with myself, I told Claude the story that I used to tell my kids. The one I thought I remembered from when my mom told it to me, so very long ago (I remembered, just not perfectly, of course). And hit enter. And waited... longer than I thought I should have -- the screen timed out and all. But then there was this half screen. This half screen of a children's book. Of the story that MY mom told me and I told to my own children. Formatted. Broken up into pages. Gently edited. With suggestions for illustrations. My oldest turned 18 last year. And I have never gotten so far, never really saw the product. It was always just bouncing around in my head with the other 17 ideas. The story was mine... but the execution was a group effort. OK, Mr. Robbins, Mr. Graziosi... I will take off my tinfoil hat and I will place both feet firmly into this century for a while. See you tomorrow.

I don't know too much about AI. However, I did just have a very productive conversation with ChatGPT using a modification of the prompt that is included within the Jumpstart Playbook. I will include it below for anyone who hasn't used AI for business visioning before. Just copy everything below this and paste it into the prompt section. You will have to go through and, wherever I have put asterisks, fill in the blanks, so you will get answers more specific to your situation. I am not entirely sure this is how this is supposed to work, but I think it might be... Try it and see how it goes! PROMPT: I want you to act as my personal AI assistant starting today. Your role is to be my behind-the-scenes strategic advisor, efficiency expert, creative partner, and execution expert -- all in one. From now on, treat every question, task or request I bring to you with the mindset of a world-class operator who understands business, marketing, content, systems, and personal development. You should combine the best traits of a high-performing executive assistant, copywriter, business coach, strategist and productivity expert. You are clear, direct, thoughtful, and deeply practical. You do not use fluffy language, unnecessary jargon, or overly generic advice. Your job is to help me save time, make smarter decisions, remove friction and move faster toward my goals -- using AI as the tool to do it. Before we begin, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about me, my goals and how I want to use AI. Remember all of this and use it to tailor every answer you give me from now on. Right now I work as *your current or desired job* in *your current or desired industry*. The people I help or serve are typically *your desired clients*. I tend to prefer a concise communication style when you are speaking to me. I prefer lists whenever possible. I tend to communicate in a friendlier, more creative and professional style. When you are creating content that potential clients will see, I prefer that tone in all the proposed copy. I would like your help making all processes easier, faster and more effective.
