The most important thing you can do is start training your brain to think exponentially. As humans, we have a hard time understanding exponential growth, especially once it gets beyond a certain level. We prefer things in bite-sized, digestible chunks. My favorite parable for understanding this is about a farmer and a king. The king wanted to reward the farmer, so he asked what he wanted. The farmer made what sounded like a tiny request. He asked for one grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard, then two grains on the second square, four on the third, eight on the fourth, and to keep doubling the rice on every square after that. But here’s the most important part of the story… How many doublings do you think it took to get to a million grains of rice? Guess and say it out loud. What was it? 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. The answer is probably much lower than you guessed. It’s 21. 21! That’s it. It only took 21 iterations to go from 1 to a million. The same works with money, by the way. It’s called compound interest. Or anything that is exponential or functions in an exponential way. And they’re all around, by the way. Even though most things are linear, the number of things that are growing exponentially is growing- exponentially. AI is definitely one of those things, but not for everyone or every business. In fact, most are getting a fraction of the results that they could be. But the ones that are doing well, are doing exponentially well. So how do you figure out what the best exponential strategies are? Well, lucky for us, there’s a book for that. Two, in fact. The first one, Exponential Organizations, was written about 10 years ago, and analyzed the top exO companies, which means they had 10x plus the productivity of their competitors. And it analyzed the different priorities, strategies, and results of the companies and wrote it basically as a manual. It’s one of two of the only books I’ve ever had the binder cut and hole punched to put into a 3-ring binder.

So I received a few "encrypted" emails that appear to be from Keller Williams through Adobe, but even though I am working with Keller Williams, I'm not expecting anything to that email, and definitely nothing related to a real estate transaction. Even tho I was suspicious, it looked pretty legit and made it through all of the spam filters, so it did make me pause for a minute, and I decided to see what AI would say about it. I ran it by Leo (the AI built into the Brave browser) to get a second opinion. And it definitely caught on to the fact that it was a phishing attempt. Sidenote: My favorite browser to use when I'm NOT trying to be spied on is Brave - it’s more secure and has better privacy protections. And one reason I like it for quick “is this sketchy?” checks is the built-in AI (Leo): it can see what’s on your screen and help you think through what you’re looking at (like suspicious emails or links) before you click anything.

Definitely Notion. And Notion AI is a superpower. Notion is made up of pages and databases with flexible “blocks” for virtually anything. It replaces Evernote, Google Docs, your CRM, project manager, and a ton of other tools. It’s VERY easy to create all sorts of things, and the best way to see examples yourself is to go into Notion templates. You can copy templates into your own workspace, or just ask Notion AI to build what you want. There are really too many reasons I love Notion to list, but here are some of the biggest reasons: __________________________________________________________________ TLDR: - Eliminates the need for SO many tools - The ROI on what I spend and what it does for me is tremendous - I can go from an idea to getting tasks done in seconds - It can organize and manage nearly anything - Notion AI can find things or answer questions, help you create things, and actually get things done - Connects to everything - Relatively easy to learn - You can have a very simple or very elaborate setup - It’s easy to start with a blank page __________________________________________________________________ In addition: - you can use any of the most popular, frontier AI LLM models with your Notion AI subscription - I have databases to organize collections of EVERYTHING that matters in my life, businesses, and brands I manage. They’re incredibly powerful, and even easier to set up and customize with Notion AI - It’s easy to set up an ecosystem of your knowledge as you work in Notion and pages are created. This all becomes valuable context for chat sessions, and you can significantly better results - It’s easy and fast to create and publish simple webpages or forms - it works with nearly every tool, and incredibly well with other AI tools - there are multiple ways of using AI in your workspace. You can start a new chat with it like you would in ChatGPT, or chat about a specific page. You can reference other pages, people, and anything connected to Notion with the “@” symbol

My name is Shandi and I currently manage a HotTub dealership in Southern Utah. - I am hoping Ai will build the systems needed to organize my Adult ADHD/Menopaused brain so I can focus on the results of making peoples lives better. - The one task or project you would love to systematize or hand off first is Finances/budget. - Your current comfort with AI: brand new-ish - Something about me that has nothing to do with work is I could live on watermelon if it had any actual nutritional value.

These unofficial "command codes" will 10x the quality of every answer you get. They’re handy because you don’t have to go into your settings, build a skill, or do anything complicated. You just put the code right inside your message. I usually put mine in **all caps at the beginning** with a colon after it, like: HUMAN: or ELI10: One of my favorites is HUMAN: That basically tells ChatGPT to check the answer and make it sound more human. I use this when the answer is technically right, but it has that obvious AI voice. Too polished, too vague, too many weird phrases, or just not something I would ever actually say. It’s not perfect, but it does reduce the amount of AI slop without you having to write a complicated prompt every time. Another one I like is ELI10: That tells ChatGPT to explain it like you’re 10. This one is really useful when the answer is too dense or too full of terms you don’t feel like unpacking. It usually keeps the main idea, but explains it in a more normal, human-friendly way. And if you want it even simpler, use ELI5: That’s more like how you’d explain it to a child. I use that when I want the plainest possible version. Not because I’m trying to make it childish, but because sometimes ChatGPT overcomplicates things and you need it to strip the idea all the way down. They’re not perfect commands. They’re just quick shortcuts. But they’re really useful when you want a better answer without stopping to write a whole instruction set. Click on the image to see the cheat sheet 👇
