Chat GPT in Apple car play
I see that Apple have added CHATGPT in Apple car play for voice conversations with ai. Needs latest iPhone software update. Tried it this morning. Works well.
🧩 Do You Have Your Own Puzzle?
I want to share something with you that I wrote back in 1997 and revisited this week during the Paid Up Club Pro session. It started with a jigsaw. I was sitting thinking about goal-setting when I looked at the puzzle on the table and thought... that's it. That's exactly what this is like. So let me ask you something before I share the idea. Think about a jigsaw puzzle for a moment. What's the very first thing you do when you open the box? You look at the picture. Not the pieces. The picture. Because without the picture, you're just shuffling bits of cardboard with no idea where any of them go. And here's the thing. Most people run their businesses and their lives exactly like that. Shuffling pieces. Staying busy. But with no clear picture of what they're actually building. Here's the analogy in brief: Setting goals is like completing a jigsaw puzzle. You need the picture on the box (a clear, detailed goal). You start with the corners and edges (a framework to make decisions within). You don't force a piece that doesn't fit (a clear goal helps you spot wrong turns faster). You celebrate putting each section together (short-term wins fuel momentum). You believe you'll finish it, even when you can't see how (that belief is what makes it a goal, not just a task). And the one that gets the biggest reaction every time I share it... "If you haven't got a puzzle of your own, you're almost certainly a piece in somebody else's." Without your own goals, you end up serving someone else's vision. Someone else decides where you fit. Someone else benefits from your best pieces. The most important decision you can make is to start your own puzzle. Now here's what I'd love to know from you. Drop your answer in the comments below. Which of these resonates most with you right now? A) I've got a clear picture and the pieces are going in well B) I've got a rough idea of the picture but the pieces feel scattered C) I'm mostly working on someone else's puzzle and I know it

Introduction
It is an honour and pleasure to join this group as I have known Peter for many, many years and his advice and professionalism is unique and in most cases free. Without making this a long history of me, which of course you can reach out anytime and connect, here is a little about.. Storytelling and sharing has been a gift I never realised I had until a change of events in 2016 when I started a new chapter in my life. I now host a podcast for others to share their stories, we created our first book 'The Essence of Being Human', of 8 wonderful people. I guide people who feel lost to rediscover their purpose, bring clarity and value in their life and I'm writing a trilogy of the future with the first book written, I'm just editing now.. Besides having 3 children and a busy life, I love to connect with likeminded people that have a passion for humanity and sharing their wisdom with others.

100 tips
Reading the PDF of "write a book in 10 days". Very engaging. But you make it sound super easy to just reel off 100 tips. I think it will take me more than 10 days to just come up with the tips. Any tips?? šŸ˜€

And you could set up a custom GPT OT Claude project and load it with your previous writing, articles etc. and then ask it to create a style guide for you. Then is it to ā€˜write like you’. It’ll still need done edit but it can do ā€˜the heavy lifting’
