Transcript
I'm on to day four of my little video diary.
Speaker A:And when I dug into AI, when I started really investigating, I found myself running around like a headless chicken.
Speaker A:I had to sit down with a copper and actually think it through and really step back and think, what is it that I'm trying to achieve here?
Speaker A:You know when you get so caught up in the excitement of something new that you forget to actually plan?
Speaker A:And that was me right at the beginning.
Speaker A:I was treating this AI thing like build an AI business in 90 days, which sounded great until I started digging and realizing that I didn't have a strategy.
Speaker A:And AI is literally changing daily.
Speaker A:And not only that, once you realize the vastness of the learning curve, it's time to take a step back.
Speaker A:So I did what I always do when I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker A:Made a cup of tea, sat quietly and went inward and started asking the real questions.
Speaker A:What problem am I trying to solve with AI?
Speaker A:What are my first steps?
Speaker A:What resources do I need?
Speaker A:Where can I make the biggest impact?
Speaker A:Where can I bring my unique skill set of writing, of tech, of nlp, of personal development, of coaching, of organization skills, of business process, management, of consultancy?
Speaker A:Where can I bring them all together?
Speaker A:And you know what hit me?
Speaker A:This might actually be the sweet spot.
Speaker A:Language transformation, helping people navigate change, tech.
Speaker A:These are the exactly the skills needed as AI transforms everything around us.
Speaker A:The visual stuff still terrifies me.
Speaker A:Being on camera, showing up, putting myself out there because I'm a bit of an introvert.
Speaker A:But maybe authenticity matters more than polish right now.
Speaker A:So that's why I'm going raw.
Speaker A:I'm not spending hours editing videos because that will stop me getting the real work done.
Speaker A:And so my wisdom for day four is that when you're drowning in possibilities and potential overwhelm, step back and ask the foundation questions.
Speaker A:What's the real problem you're trying to solve?
Speaker A:Who needs your help?
Speaker A:What unique perspective and skill set do you bring?
Speaker A:For me, it's helping fellow practitioners, NLPers, hypnotherapists, see AI as an ally, not a threat, and allowing them to see see how it can help them support more people through what might be humanity's biggest mental health challenge.
Speaker A:So what questions help you get clear when you're overwhelmed?
Speaker A:And if you're a transformational practitioner wondering about AI, what's your biggest fear or hope?
Speaker A:Tomorrow I start getting strategic.
Speaker A:Bye for now, and I'll see you then.
