Looking for the PDF (11Pages) that had prompts in it. I can not locate it.

A little nervous but here goes! 70 years old and getting back in the swing so I can supplement my retirement income!

The way you view obstacles will shape the way you experience life. If you see them as proof the path is wrong, you’ll stop. If you see them as unfair, you’ll resent them. If you see them as permanent, you’ll feel stuck. But if you see them as part of growth, everything changes. Because obstacles often show up for a reason. They reveal where you need to get stronger. They expose what needs to change. They build the capacity required for the next level of your life or business. So, I’ve learned to see obstacles as opportunity. Opportunity to overcome. Opportunity to learn. Opportunity to grow. Opportunity to increase my capacity. That doesn’t mean challenges are fun haha. But it does means they can be useful. The obstacle in front of you may not be there to block you. It’s likely there to develop you. To push you. To invite you into a whole new level. Because when you do overcome it, you don’t just get past the challenge. You gain the lesson you needed, the growth you needed, and the strength you needed to become the person who can hold the thing you’ve been asking for. Sometimes the obstacle isn’t separate from the path. Sometimes it is the path. So I’ll ask you… how do you view obstacles right now?

The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make with AI is simple. They chase tools instead of results. They try a dozen platforms. Test random prompts. Consume endless AI content. And still never build a real advantage. That is where people get stuck. Because AI is not about knowing every tool. It is about using the right AI to buy back time, reduce overwhelm, and create more leverage in the parts of the business that matter most. That is the shift. The entrepreneurs pulling ahead are not using AI to create more noise. They are using it to create more time. More time to think. More time to lead. More time to build. More time to focus on growth instead of getting buried in repetitive work. That is what most people miss. They use AI like a novelty instead of a system. They generate content faster, but do not improve workflow. They move quicker, but not smarter. They add output, but not leverage. And without leverage, speed just creates more chaos. The real opportunity with AI is not doing more for the sake of more. It is using AI to simplify work, shorten cycle time, improve marketing and sales execution, and remove the manual tasks that steal hours every week. That is why this matters now. AI is moving fast, but entrepreneurs do not need every update, every hack, or every new tool. They need a clear path to use AI in ways that actually improve how they operate. So the mistake is not ignoring AI completely. The mistake is using AI in a scattered way that keeps people busy instead of making them better. The entrepreneurs who win with AI will be the ones who stop asking, “What tool should I try next?” And start asking, “How can I use AI to get back time and multiply what I can do?” That is where the real advantage begins.

Hi! I’m Robert, a CFO managing a family office. I wear a lot of hats—operations, strategy, building things from scratch. With AI: I’m past the beginner stage. Using Claude regularly for writing, research, and problem-solving. Ready to level up. Where AI Helps Me Most: I’m pulled in too many directions at once. Friction on repetitive tasks drains energy I need for actual decisions and relationships. AI should kill the friction so I can focus on what matters. Why I’m Here: Excited to figure out how to do more with less friction—both in my day-to-day operations and in a major civic project I’m launching. Fun Fact: I was a PADI Master Instructor and certified over 1,000 divers. Best job I ever had.
