Good morning, I am in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and have known David for about 12 years. We met on business and try to do some from time to time.

Today we’re keeping this very simple. You don’t need to know how AI works — you just need to know how to talk to it. Here’s a beginner-friendly prompt you can use right now. 👇 Copy & paste this into ChatGPT: Rewrite this message to sound clearer, more friendly, and more professional: That’s it. You can use this for: - texts - emails - client messages - social posts - anything you want to say more clearly Don’t overthink it.Don’t try to make it perfect. Just try it once. You are taking a message from your own data, putting it into chatgpt, and having it rewrite the prompt for you. 👉 If you want, reply below with what you used it for or what surprised you. Small wins build confidence.

1. Rewriting texts or emails to sound clearer and more professional 2. Turning rough ideas into clean bullet points 3. Summarizing long information into something easier to understand 4. Brainstorming content ideas when I feel stuck 5. Organizing my thoughts when I have too many things going on None of these require tech skills.None of them require perfect prompts. They’re just small ways to save time and reduce mental friction. If you’re brand new, pick one of these and try it today. You don’t need to do all five. Small wins build confidence.

If you feel like you’re late to AI, you’re not alone. Almost everyone I talk to feels like they somehow “missed it” or should already know more than they do. The truth is, AI is changing so fast that no one has it completely figured out — not beginners, not experts. That’s actually good news. It means there’s no finish line you’re chasing and no perfect starting point you missed. This group isn’t about trying to catch up or be perfect. It’s about learning in small, practical steps and building confidence as you go. Progress beats perfection every time. If you’re here, you’re exactly where you need to be.

Welcome to AI Side Hustle Lab — I’m really glad you’re here. This community is for everyday people who want to learn how AI can actually help in real life — without tech overwhelm, coding, or feeling behind. I’m currently learning and implementing AI inside my own businesses, and instead of doing it alone, I decided to build this space so we can learn together. I’ll be sharing what I’m testing, what works, what doesn’t, and the prompts or workflows I decide to keep. There’s no pressure here you don’t need experience. You don’t need to “know AI.” Just be willing to learn step by step. 👇 Take a second to introduce yourself below: - Your name - What you’d like AI to help you with - Are you brand new or already experimenting? - Thanks for being here — let’s build and learn together.
