Update on disastrous ChatGPT business work migration. Cautionary tale for ChatGPT users
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Aside from the holidays, I have spent the last 30 days in full business recovery mode following a disastrous workspace migration in ChatGPT on November 30th. I didn’t want to come back until I had something positive to report. Over the summer, before joining the AI Advantage I launched my startup using a ChatGPT Plus account tied to my personal email. As a (now) professional founder, I eventually realized it was necessary to separate my personal data from my business for IP protection, liability, and future HIPAA compliance with the app I’m building. When I started my ChatGPT account I hadn’t even thought about starting a company yet. Everything was mixed up. All my personal topics and my business building topics were in one account. Which is not a good thing. I knew enough to upgrade to a ChatGPT plus account when I started iterating business ideas, because I did not want them being trained on any of open AI models. I did everything by the book. I followed the documentation and even used ChatGPT to build a migration checklist. What happened next took my business out at the knees. ChatGPT wiped out every last bit of my data. Their support was nonexistent—no apology, no refund, and no path to recovery. $632.00 spent for a two year Business Workspace and nothing to show for it, everything gone. While my "founder discipline" meant I had backed up my core IP and design docs locally, I lost months of context and chat logs that served as the backbone of my cognitive scaffolding system. It was a disaster of epic proportions. I’ll admit it: I cried. Sobbed actually. I’m normally not a crier, but I had worked so damn hard for several months building something that I know is going to help people. I refused to let it be the end. I have spent December reconstituting my operations from the ground up, but I didn't go back to what broke. After learning that this has happened to dozens, if not hundreds of other founders and businesses, I migrated my entire company to Google Business Workspace (Enterprise Standard) and Gemini. The difference in professional stability and support has been night and day. Because of this move, I’ve recovered enough momentum to stay on track for our first product launch this January.

90 Day Ai Business Goal
Im inspired by @Taresa O'Brien’s post to share my 90 day goal To help 100 people, help 10 businesses they know, to benefit from Ai Voice, TXT and Chat, without having to be an expert in tech. My goal for the summit is to learn, grow and help others. Tony helped me realise that contribution was my second highest value, after love and connection (DWD 2012 Gold Coast, AU). In 2013 at Namale, Business Mastery it was reinforced for me that CANI constant and never ending improvement compounds over time into massive business progress. That the one who delivers the most massive value wins and to fall in love with my customer, not the product, the service or the tech, My goals seem so tiny compared to what Dean and Tony are mustering here for the summit. Im so grateful to model their success and get access to the best in class AI people. However I know that if I help only 1,000 starfish, its very meaningful to those starfish. (the 1 starfish metaphor expanded). I have absolute certainty that the end user businesses will massively benefit and the 100 helpers will massively benefit. If those things are true, I will massively benefit. I know this by doing this for 2.5 years and with 30 years of experience. In HK I once had a business that provided an essential service to the second largest demographic, after HK Chinese. In that business we had 300 ‘helpers’ who massively benefitted every week. After 90 days that business sold 25,000 things a week to that community and became a household brand in that community. My goals may be small, but I’ll be proud to get even half way there. What are yours? Dont be shy, The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. we all had to take that same first step. go for it.

Glad to be Here - Im Batch (Andrew Batchelor)
Hey everyone, I’m Andrew 👋 I’m an entrepreneur who’s obsessed with helping businesses grow through systems, automation, and smart follow-up. Ive scaled businesses to 80,000 customers (OnePort.com), 100,000 product sales a month (Masaya Phone cards) and built 4,000 retail points of sale for Doro mobile in Australia & NZ. Id low to show you how to grow your business like a client in Indiana grew his Barn building business from US$6.4M per annum to $12M in 2023 and then $16M in 2024. One man, one laptop, one cell phone, one truck selling. He calls the results 'financially life changing' and in his wife's 5 star review she spoke about giving him back 5-6 hours a day. Hear from the man himself here https://youtu.be/syQ3W367UME These days Im back flying solo with Ai in my back pocket and a hand picked team of contractors. I sold my first website to a law firm in 1994 Right now, I’m on a mission to build 1,000 Voice AI clients in the next 90 days — inspired by Jerome’s insane success with AI and community momentum. My goal (see my post on this for detail) is to help 100 people in turn help 10 people/businesses each take advantage of the amplification and time saving of AI. I think of it like a 100 person incubator, helping you get started up earning income from AI. I’ve been using AI for a while now — mostly in GHL, ChatGPT and automation tools — but I’m still constantly blown away by what’s possible when you apply it the right way. In 1992 I did post grad studies in Expert Systems and deployed them into drafting banking and finance documents in New Zealand and then in Hong Kong. The area I’m most excited to improve with AI right now is scaling personalized communication — making every customer feel like they’re getting 1:1 attention, even when you’re handling hundreds of leads at once. I joined this community because I know how powerful shared energy and proven systems can be, and I want to learn from others who are building at speed.
