What is ChatGPT

This is going to not only rock your world as an entrepreneur and content creator, but it’s going to change things for the whole world, in general.

Am I being dramatic? A little.

But this is worth paying attention to immediately.

It’s called Chat GPT and if you haven’t heard about it, hang on to your pigtails.

Chat GPT, or Generative Pretrained Transformer, is a type of artificial intelligence language model that can generate human-like text. It works by using machine learning algorithms to process and analyze large amounts of text data, which it uses to generate new text that is similar to the input data. This allows GPT to generate responses to prompts or questions that sound natural and human-like.

I’ve been playing with it for the last two days and I. Am. Obsessed.

And I’m not here to say whether or not this beast of a robot is good or bad. The point is, it’s here, and we have to deal with it.

As content creators, things are about to change…BIG TIME.

And to be honest, I have just scratched the surface of use case scenarios for this, but here are some of the things you can do…

You can ask for suggestions for content to create:

What about asking it to create a poem for you?

How often am I looking for poetry as content? NEVER. But this is a great way to demonstrate what a big deal this is…that a machine can do that!

How about this??? You can pick the VOICE you want things written in!

And although I’ve read that the folks at ChatGPT have set it up to be a tool for good (and not evil), there are clearly work-arounds……

You can ask it to create actual blog posts for you:

In this example, I asked the bot: “What are some of the benefits of hiring an assistant in the Philippines?”, since this is something I talk about often.

Here’s the response from the bot, I’ve edited nothing:

There are several benefits to hiring an assistant in the Philippines, including:

1. Access to a large pool of highly skilled and educated workers: The Philippines has a large and growing population of highly skilled and educated workers, many of whom are fluent in English and have experience working in a variety of industries.

2. Cost savings: Labor costs in the Philippines are generally lower than in many other countries, which can help companies save money on salaries and other employee-related expenses.

3. Time zone advantages: The Philippines is located in the same time zone as many Asian countries, which can make it easier for companies to coordinate with their Philippine-based employees and handle time-sensitive tasks.

4. Cultural compatibility: The Philippines has a strong cultural connection with many Western countries, which can make it easier for Philippine-based employees to understand and work with clients and colleagues from these countries.

5. Government incentives: The Philippine government offers a range of incentives and support programs for companies that hire local workers, which can help companies save money and access other benefits.

Overall, hiring an assistant in the Philippines can provide companies with access to a highly skilled and cost-effective workforce, as well as other benefits that can help them grow and succeed.

Is that a great blog post? Not really, but what a head start it gives me!

Yes, this does seems like the ultimate tool for students to cheat on their homework, but then I saw this, so maybe it won’t be that bad:

Wasn't aware of this, but sounds like Scott Aaronson at OpenAI is working on cryptographically watermarking GPT outputs. Means it should be easy enough (in principle) for e.g. teachers to check if students used GPT to do their homework, StackOverflow to check for GPT use, etc. pic.twitter.com/ah9hAjUKvl

Need to whip up a quick lease agreement?

Now, let’s talk about the bot itself. 

Because this is an open platform, you could hire a programmer to create this for your business specifically. Imagine loading up your bot with everything there is to know about your business, and never having to answer another customer service question again. This makes ManyChat and the like look like an old Beta Max. 

In fact, if you want to know how you would post a job posting for a freelancer to build this kind of bot, ask the bot!

The best way to understand this *thing* is to try it out for yourself. Go to https://chat.openai.com/ and have fun!

(Because the world is going nuts over this right now, you may not be able to access it during peak hours…but keep trying!)

Again, I’m not saying this thing is good or bad. It’s here. We have to deal with it.

As always, would love to hear your thoughts on this. Comment below and let me know what you think about ChatGPT!

How to Host an Accountability Challenge

SHOWNOTES

Twice a year, we have an accountability challenge in the Front Row VIP community.

I wanted our members to connect and support each other while also achieving some slam dunks in their businesses.

The members embraced the challenge and I was amazed with our results that first year... we had an 80% completion rate.

And it's been that way every time.

We launch it in the fall and in the spring and each time, we end up with a minimum of an 80% completion rate.

And by "completion", I mean that 80% of the people who sign up for this four week challenge end up completing it.

In this podcast I outline why this works so well, and how you can make your challenge a success as well. It is one of the best things for creating loyal, raving fans and it’s one of the most popular things we do in Front Row VIP.

Here is how it works:

• We start with setting a 4-week goal. Only rule: it must be measurable.

• Identify a good, better, best scenario.

• We have a points system where members “earn” as they progress through the challenge.

• We have teams (randomly chosen) and we offer juicy rewards for the team members.

• Tasking and Basking (the only 2 things required)

• My team and I follow up with those who miss a check in. We are truly supporting them and encourage everyone along the way.

• We use the challenge to bring in new members. It’s one of the best ways to show the value of being part of VIP.

• There is an opportunity for bonus points, and a way to make up points in case someone misses a check-in.

• Celebrate! At the end, everyone participates in our group celebration and prizes are awarded.

Want to host your own accountability challenge and see your membership or community grow? We created a resource for you to make it super simple.

How to Identify the Next Best Step in Your Business with Mike Michalowicz

SHOWNOTES

Today’s guest is one of my favorite business leaders. Author Mike Michalowicz joined me to talk about Fix This Next: Make the Vital Change That Will Level Up Your Business. The timing couldn’t be better.

Business owners often struggle to identify the biggest obstacle facing their business.

How can we know for sure the best place to put our resources and our energy to get the best results?

That’s the million-dollar question isn’t it?

Mike created what he calls "The Business Hierarchy of Needs" and explains how it will show you exactly what will make the biggest impact. Right. Now.

Business Hierarchy of Needs Includes:

• Sales (create cash)

• Profit (create stability)

• Order (create efficiency)

• Impact (create transformation)

• Legacy (create permanence)

He provides the 2 key questions you can use to know which area needs immediate attention. You’re going to find the real-life examples he shared inspiring. Be ready to take notes. 😉

Mike also explains how important it is for the business to run without you. How nice would it be to take 4 weeks off without checking in and come back to a well-running business?

Mike explains how you (and I) can make this a reality. Be ready to be inspired when you listen, then have your team check it out as well.

Let it Be Easy with Susie Moore

SHOWNOTES

“We’ve been worried about what other people think since day one.”

Susie Moore is the author of the recently published book "Stop Checking Your Likes: Shake Off the Need for Approval and Live an Incredible Life" and she walks the talk.

Susie has great insights on:

• Screening the raves and critical reviews. 

• Not giving away our power to others.

• Why rejection isn’t negative. I promise this will make sense when you hear how Susie explains it. 

• The story we make up is just that. A story we make up. 

• There’s no tapping out of opportunities; no one person or thing is defining. 

• Understanding the cause and effect of being stuck. (game-changer)

• Using COVID as a reason to not do the scary thing. Susie has great advice that’s not what I expected. 

Susie also shares some of the criticism she’s received for promoting her book during this time. It ties to a great section in the book about being defensive. In our podcast conversation, she breaks it down. I know you’ll find this helpful.

Hear Susie’s unique definition of confidence. I love it. It’s also connected to her love of cemeteries. Trust me, this all makes sense when you hear her explain it.

The Middle Finger Project with Ash Ambirge

SHOWNOTES

You are going to LOVE this podcast episode. I got to chat with my “best friend” Ash Ambirge. She’s the creator and founder of The Middle Finger Project and book by the same name. 

This is for Front Row people. Ash says that “normal is the most disappointing thing in life for her” and I know you will relate. She starts by addressing the sunk costs of creating a life that doesn’t end up serving you as only she can. 

Hear Ash explain:

• What it’s like to realize you’re smarter than the people who are making the “rules”

• You don’t need a license to create

• How you can create whatever job you want

• Why showing up IS the game

Just one of my favorite quotes from the book:

“.. .while the rest of the world is getting ready, you’re getting better” 

Don’t miss the conversation about imposter syndrome. It’s going to change how you look at making offers. 

Ash also shares the 1 question that’s going to help you right now, today. It’s a lens that you can use when you are framing how to talk about your work and/or make an offer.  

Speaking of offers, what if you made an offer every single day? Ash makes it so simple you’ll wonder why you haven’t thought about it this way. 

Don’t miss the conversation about Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There’s a business-relevant point here, I swear! 

This episode is must listen and then get the book if you haven’t already. I promise you’ll thank me later. 

My copy of the book is full of hot pink and yellow post-It notes plus highlighter sections everywhere. That’s how good it is!
