When you're stuck between ‘not done yet’ and ‘no longer wanted'

I’m participating in an AI class led by Rich Schefren. The class is called ZenithMind OS. If you don’t know Rich, he’s one of the deepest thinkers you’ll ever meet. I met Rich about 20 years ago when he was teaching successful online business owners how to build a real business. Here’s a few of Rich’s accomplishments.
In the ZenithMind OS, he’s sharing the most detailed AI prompts I’ve ever seen. The prompts are designed to “give your brain the ultimate upgrade” as he calls it. Each day you enter a prompt that asks 20 questions that make you think deeply about your business and yourself. After seven days of deep self-reflection, ChatGPT identified my hidden narrative, the fears I don’t admit, patterns I must break, patterns I must adopt, and my next level self and a lot more. I’m starting week two today and this goes on for a total of six weeks. We’re essentially training ChatGPT to think like us on a very deep level. After ChatGPT summarized my week one input, I asked it to create 10 new taglines for me. I liked “When you’re caught between ‘not done yet’ and ‘not wanted anymore’” because it describes me and many of my Baby Boomer colleagues. Instead of going with my gut, I asked ChatGPT to rank the taglines and tell me why (I never thought to ask ChatGPT to tell me why). If my goal is to inspire and empower, “Not retired—just rewired for something better.” is the best choice. It gave me a ton of insight into each tagline depending on my goal. I’m only a week into ZenithMind OS and my mind is blown. This is going to take AI to a new level for me. I’ll continue to share my ZenithMind OS with you. Ted P.S. How are you using AI in your business and your personal life? |

When your job ends, especially after 25 or 30 years, it’s not just the paycheck that disappears. It’s your title… your team… your routine… and the quiet confidence of being someone who knows what they’re doing. You went from “VP of Sales” or “Director of Operations” to… well, what now? Nobody prepares you for that moment. No one talks about the void that opens up when your identity is no longer printed on a business card. Here’s what I want you to know this morning: ✅ Your title was never...
My business didn’t come from a big idea. It came from a quiet realization: I loved my job as an Online Marketing Manager but deep down I didn’t want to live on someone else’s schedule. My boss did me a favor and laid me off. At this stage of life, I didn’t want to chase clients. I definitely didn’t want to “retire” and lose the part of me that still had something to give. But I didn’t know what was next. I just knew this stage of my life was done. So I asked myself the same questions I shared...
