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? |

What if everything you needed to say about your business could fit in a single sentence? Not a tagline. Not a mission statement. One sentence that stops your ideal client cold and makes them think, "That's exactly what I need." That's the premise behind Neil Gordon's Silver Bullet. Once you understand it, you'll never pitch your business the same way again. Here's how it works. Most of us lead with our solution. We talk about what we do, what we offer, and why we're qualified. But Gordon...
The fog was already burning off San Francisco Bay when I sat down at my desk in San Anselmo, coffee going cold beside my keyboard. I had a problem. Not a new problem. The same one I'd been circling for decades. I've been on the internet since 1992, back when most people had no idea what it was. The browser wouldn't be invented for another five years. I'd managed networks, sold computer hardware, and watched the entire digital world get built from the inside out. Then I pivoted to LinkedIn...
Mike White walked onto Survivor 50 with no immunity idol, no physical advantage, and no survival skills. What he had was a story. The creator of The White Lotus knew exactly what his weapon was. "Being a storyteller is pretty much my only skill set," he admitted. "Being able to see people in their narrative, articulate that, and get in people's heads." His strategy wasn't to outrun or outmuscle anyone. It was to make every player feel like he was a supporting character in their story. For...
