First things first—take a deep breath. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use ChatGPT. If you can type a question into Google, you can use AI. Think of ChatGPT like a really smart assistant that never takes a lunch break.
It’s not here to replace you—it’s here to help you write faster, plan better, and save your brainpower for the stuff that really matters (like kids melting down over who had the red crayon first).
Start small. Don’t try to overhaul your entire workflow overnight. Just ask yourself:
“What’s one thing I do over and over that takes me too long?”
Some ideas:
You don’t need fancy wording or tech jargon. Just talk to it like you’re texting a helpful friend.
Here are a few starter prompts you can copy/paste (or tweak to fit your voice):
ChatGPT gives you a solid starting point, not the final word. Don’t be afraid to edit the response to sound more like you. Add your voice, tone it down, spice it up—whatever works.
Once you get used to it, you’ll start thinking, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
Once you’ve created something great—save it!
Create a “ChatGPT Wins” folder with all your AI-generated goodies: emails, forms, policy language, etc. You’ll build your own custom content library without even trying.
AI isn’t just a trend. It’s a powerful time-saving tool—and it’s finally accessible to us everyday business owners. The trick is to start small, stay curious, and let it help take some weight off your shoulders.
You’re already doing amazing work. Let’s make it easier.
