The Week You Stop Second-Guessing Yourself
Let me start with a little story. Years ago, before all the AI tools, before the YouTube channels, before the Skool community, I had a moment where I realized I was spending more time doubting myself than trying things. I thought everyone else had some secret playbook. Turns out they were winging it too. The difference came down to action. The folks who made progress were the ones who made a move without waiting for the fog to clear. That same idea applies to AI today. Many of you tell me the learning curve feels steep. Some of you wonder if you are too late. Others feel stuck between curiosity and hesitation. You are not alone. The people who thrive in their forties, fifties, and sixties have one shared trait. They take what they already know and stack something new on top of it. That is how real growth works. Not by replacing your experience, but by combining it with tools that make your ideas faster, sharper, and stronger. Here is the part most folks miss. You do not need a giant breakthrough to build momentum. One tiny win can flip your whole week. Maybe you use ChatGPT to rewrite an email. Maybe you let Perplexity research something you keep putting off. Maybe you use AI to organize a messy plan or untangle a problem that has been sitting on your mental shelf for months. The size of the task does not matter. The confidence you gain from doing it absolutely does. Think of it like the first time we figured out how to program the VCR back in the day. Once you got it, you suddenly became the local tech expert in your family. The same thing happens here. Once you get a couple small AI wins under your belt, people around you start asking how you did it. That is how leadership grows. Quietly. Gradually. Authentically. So here is your friendly nudge for this week. Do not wait for the perfect conditions. Pick one thing you want to improve. One task you want to streamline. One idea you want to test. Bring it into ChatGPT or Perplexity and let the tool help you shape it into something useful. You are not trying to impress anyone. You are building your own momentum.
