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 Much Should I Pay a Virtual Assistant?

A virtual assistant is a person who works remotely in your business. This means that they could be on another floor in your office building, down the street, or across the globe.

I know virtual assistants who charge $100 per hour, and virtual assistants who charge $4 an hour.

Typically, as you might expect, the more specialized a person’s skills, the more you will pay. Also, if you are hiring in the western part of the world, where the cost of living is high, you can expect to pay more. If you hire from somewhere like the Philippines, South America, or India, you can expect to pay less.

There are lots of misconceptions about these rate differences.

Misconception #1:

Paying someone less than $10 per hour is unethical.

False.  If you hire someone in the Philippines, for example, understand that the cost of living there is much less than in the USA.  The infographic below shows just how different the cost of living is:

For the small business person who can’t afford to pay $25+ per hour, especially at the start, this is a perfect solution.

But the key to success for the business owner and the VA, and what we teach in our program The Front Row CEO, is that it’s important to 1) guarantee hours/use a salary model  2) include bonuses or profit-sharing opportunities.

The salary model:  After a trial period of a week to one month, paid hourly, it’s a good idea to start paying your virtual assistant on a “salary model”. (It’s not *really* a salary, as your VA in the Philippines is not recognized as an employee of your company. They are technically freelancers. But you basically pay them the same amount each week.)  This will go a long way in instilling confidence and trust for both of you. For the VA, this security will almost guarantee that they will stay with you for years, rather than just weeks or months. The mindset here is that the CEO is more concerned with the work getting done, rather than policing the clock.  

Bonuses and profit sharing: As your business grows, everyone grows. When you and your team have success from a product launch, for example, consider rewarding everyone with a cash bonus. Setting goals, with cash rewards, is also a wonderful way to keep morale high. For the VA, this creates a true sense of ownership in your business.

Misconception #2

“The pay is less, but the quality of work is not as good”

False! You can expect to find highly skilled, fluent-in-english, hard-working, dedicated, professional VA’s in the Philippines and all across the world.  If you’ve ever hired a virtual assistant and ended up disappointed, there’s a good chance that 1) your hiring process was not set up to screen out those who were unqualified 2) your onboarding process didn’t include the components necessary to set him/her up for success or 3) when he/she started working for you, there were no systems and processes in place, or, those systems weren’t clear.

A common pricing model for the Philippines would be to start at $5 per hour for a trial week, or a trial month, paid hourly. 

Once hired, if a full time position, the salary would be $200 per week, or $800 per month.

If part time, $100 per week, or $400 per month.

You can read more about why I recommend a salary model over hourly, here.

If you are hiring in the United States, you can find a general virtual assistant for $25-40 per hour. For 40 hours per week, you should expect to pay $1000 per week, or $4000 month.

The cost of living in the Philippines is much less than in the US. Small business owners can leverage the exchange rate to create a win-win for VA and CEO.  If you offer a salary model, and supplement that with generous performance bonuses, holiday bonuses, and profit-sharing, it can be life-changing. The idea is to hire an assistant who will be with you for years, not weeks or months. This is someone who will grow with you, and together, you will grow your business. Over time, the idea is that your VA can be paid the equivalent of a VA anywhere in the world, because your business will have scaled to a level that makes it possible.

Are You Ready to Hire a Virtual Assistant?

What is a virtual assistant?

A virtual assistant is a human being (I’m not referring to Siri, or Alexa, or an operating system akin to what you may have seen in the movie, “Her”). This is a person who works remotely in your business. They could be on another floor in your business, or on the other side of the world.

When I talk about virtual assistants, I’m referring to a generalist. This person will likely have expertise in one particular area, but their role in your business will be broad.  When looking for a specialist assistant, I think more of “project manager”. 

“Am I ready for a VA?”

More often than not, I am inclined to say “yes you are”.

How can that be? How can I be so sure that you are ready when I don’t know you or your business?

Because, when set up correctly,  two heads are better than one. It’s that simple. 

I don’t need to know your revenue  in your business, because you can start with a virtual assistant, part time, for about $100 a week. (If you cannot spare $100 a week in your business, I would argue that you don’t have a business, you have a hobby.)

I don’t need to know what industry you are in, because whether you are B2B, B2C, brick and mortar, or a professor at an ivy league school, a virtual assistant is going to help you get where you need to go, FASTER.

But there are certain things to consider before you take the plunge:

The first and most important question to ask yourself is, “Am I ready to let go of some things?”.

I have a friend who runs an online business who told me that she left her corporate job because she was sick of managing people. She loves being alone in her business. She loves the feeling of freedom that comes with that. She knows her business would grow faster and that she would be more profitable if she hired someone, but to her, it’s not worth it. She’s happy with the slow but steady growth of her business. So obviously, it would not be a good idea for her to hire a VA.

You need to make sure that you WANT the help. That you WANT to share the highs and lows and twists and turns with someone else.

It may be that you’ve hired someone before, but it was more trouble than it was worth. Either they didn’t perform as well as you had hoped, or you spent so much time trying to keep them busy, you didn’t get anything done! You fell into the “might-as-well-do-it-myself” trap. And this is very common.

The good news is, once you make up your mind that you want to hire a VA, the pre-work you need to do ahead of time to set yourself up for success  is not as overwhelming as you imagine. 

You don’t have to have perfectly organized Drop Boxes, meticulous spreadsheets, a content calendar, or a color-coded Trello board.

But you do need to take these next steps: 

1. Define : What is it you need help with most immediately? Social media posting? Email management? Research? If you don’t know what you need help with, you won’t be able to set success metrics for your new VA. Everyone needs to know what success looks like.

Completing the following sentence will help you to hone in on exactly your expectations are: 

I need help with _________(social media management)_________ so that I can___________ (increase new leads by 20% each month)________.

Now that you know why you need a VA and what you want him/her to help you with, it’s helpful to put in place a few systems or processes so that once you hire your VA, they can work without you, or with minimal oversight.  The more you can remove yourself from the process, the better.

Here’s an example of a simple social media management process.

Click here to access our Trello board and make a copy.

Click here access Social Media Management Document.

Here’s an example of a newsletter process/system.

Click here to access our Trello board and make a copy.

Click here to access our newsletter process document.

2. Guide: Often I hear from people who were disappointed with their VAs because they started the journey assuming that once they handed things off to the VA, they could peace out. Not only is this not true, you don’t want it to be true. Guidance is where the magic happens. No, you don’t want to be holding your VA’s hand all day long. Of course not. But with your feedback and guidance, your VA will become a better VA, you will become a better CEO, and your business will become exponentially more efficient and a place where you and your team will thrive for years to come. 

How to give guidance and feedback without eating up all of your time?

3. Weekly team meetings: each week it’s a good idea to have a short meeting via Zoom or Skype to review what’s ahead. My team meets every Monday at 9am EST. Our agenda is always the same: 1) we review the calendar 2) I review our newsletter via screenshare 3) Each person shares anything they need feedback on, or any announcements that the team needs to be aware of. This meeting is usually between 15-30 minutes.

4. A daily shared Google Doc.  This sounds so basic and that’s because it is. Don’t be fooled, though. It’s really powerful.  I share a Google Doc with each of my VA’s. In other words, each VA shares a Google Doc with me that is just for the two of us. 

There are 3 questions on the document:

1. What did you accomplish today?

2. Do you have any questions?

3. Do you have any suggestions?

We always stay inside the one document, and the VA updates it daily and submits it to me at the end of her shift. We are literally on the same page and I’m able to give feedback and guidance without interruption throughout the day. By asking “do you have suggestions”, I am able to tap into hidden talents! The feedback you will receive from this one question can transform your business.

Quarterly reviews. It’s very important to set time aside for your quarterly reviews. Everyone needs feedback to improve. Leave room in this meeting for your VA to give you feedback, too. 

Final thoughts:

You are ready for a VA if you are ready to scale your business by handing over tasks that are keeping you from focusing on the work that only you can do. If you can slow down long enough to create some simple systems and processes before you hire, define what it is you need help with, and give structured guidance to your virtual assistant, you are ready to hire a VA. And remember, you don’t have to have it all figured out at the beginning. Your VA will ideally be with you for years and as time goes by, your business, and your relationship will change and grow and flourish.  It’s a worthwhile journey!

Best Tools, Apps, and Plugins for Entrepreneurs 2021

This is the fourth year in a row that we are offering this epic roundup of the best tools, apps, and plugins for entrepreneurs.

Each Tuesday, in my free online classroom, The Front Row, members submit the tools and apps that help them run their businesses more efficiently.

We've taken those submissions and organized them by category and purpose. We've also made note of the tools we use and love.

Did we leave out one of your favorites? Let us know in the comments.

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.

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.

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!

Coping vs Thriving: Online Marketing During a Pandemic

SHOWNOTES

 There’s no roadmap for where we are today. I know we’re all wondering “what do I do now?” I am too. That’s why I recorded this episode. 

First, I wanted to tell you that you are not alone. Everyone of us is affected by world events that we can’t control. Second, I don’t have it all figured out, but I have decided on a few things that are working for me. I outlined those on today’s episode, and I hope you find it helpful.

I share the 2 guiding questions that help me make business decisions; especially those related to marketing and selling. 

“We’re in This Together” hashtags are everywhere and it’s encouraging. As hopeful as that is, I also know there will be days when uncertainty is going to show up. When it does ask for help, reach out to someone you trust. 

I’ve made a list of free resources that you and your family can use while we’re all at home and our schedules are out the window. 

I encourage you to continue to serve your audience. Keep showing up. Be sensitive, be real and let people know you care.
