5 Hacks to Use ChatGPT So Well It's Almost Unfair

This is excellent.  Notice the part about using GPT as an executive coach.

Now that you are in the zone for using GPT better than ever, watch this one below:

Coach, Mentor, Advisor: What's the difference?

 I was having a session with ChatGPT-3 to find some of its better skills, and thought I'd give it a question of more use to potential clients.

I asked "What is the difference between a Coach, a Mentor, and Advisor?" The reason I asked is that various clients have referred to me as one or more of those labels based on the results of the relationship. I have always referred to myself as Advisor. Here's the AI's reply:

A Coach provides guidance, instruction and advice to help achieve specific goals or objectives. They focus on improving skills, behaviours, and performance in particular areas. A coach will help an individual take action to improve performance and reach target goals.

A Mentor is less directive in their role. They provide support and advice to their mentee, helping to create an environment for success. Mentors focus on the development of the individual holistically, providing guidance on personal development and skill acquisition, but also discussing career paths, professional networks, and life outside of work. Mentors act as sounding boards, offering honest feedback, constructive criticism, and advice to help the individual reach their desired outcome.

An Advisor is a professional who can provide advice and guidance to individuals or companies on a variety of topics, such as financial planning, investments, business decisions, legal issues, and more. An advisor’s role is to provide objective advice that takes into account the individual’s unique situation. Unlike an AI, an advisor will get to know the individual on a personal level and be able to humanize their advice because of this. Advisors may take into account a person's values, beliefs and goals, their financial situation at present and what their long term goals are. They may also have industry specific expertise and insights that can help people make informed decisions. Furthermore, advisors will provide ongoing monitoring of the customer’s portfolio or plans, as well as providing necessary updates and adjustments based on customer feedback. Ultimately, an advisor should be someone who has the client’s best interests in mind and is willing to build a lasting relationship with the customer.

There you have it. I'm not much more clear about the definitions now than I was when I started out, and I dislike labels in the first place. I've always liked the quote "To define is to limit*" and I prefer to not limit my contributions to my clients, and to keep clients' expectations unlimited.

*From Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', the quote explores how when something is given a definition, it is confined to the parameters of the definition itself and limited as a result. See more.

Should you pay a mentor?

 🔥 SHOULD YOU PAY A MENTOR?

It’s a question I hear almost daily.

And the answer I give is this... 👇 

Let’s look at it from a different perspective…
 
If a mentor CAN HELP YOU…

🔥 Remember your ‘why’
🔥 Create a plan to make it a reality
🔥 Keep you on track
🔥 Get more leads, more consistently
🔥 Convert more leads, more consistently
🔥 Keep your customers for longer
🔥 Increase the value of each customer
🔥 Introduce new products and services
🔥 Streamline your operations
🔥 Turn your business into a repeatable, scalable system
🔥 Get you working ‘on’ instead of ‘in’ your business
🔥 Be a better leader
🔥 Give you clarity over what you should be doing
🔥 Get the most out of your team
🔥 Know who to hire (and who to fire) and when
🔥 Have those difficult discussions
🔥 Get your cash-flow sorted
🔥 Find cash-flow to fund growth
🔥 Get pitch ready
🔥 Find and connect with the right investors
 
And if they can;

💪 Open your eyes to ideas you hadn’t thought of
💪 Be your sounding board and voice of reason
💪 Pat your back when you do good
💪 Be your spark when you get stuck
💪 Make BETTER decisions, FASTER

And through doing so,

💙  Massively reduce your stress levels
💙  Stop you feeling overwhelmed
💙  Stop you feeling lonely/alone
💙  Save HUGE amounts of time and money that would otherwise be lost through trial and error
💙  Put the fun back in your business

Well, then...
