My eight-year-old son’s personal, full-time research assistant? Yes, it’s true!

Hi Coach, This morning, like many Saturdays, I found myself up early with my son, Spencer. While he got sucked into the worlds of Fortnite and Minecraft, I sat nearby, scribbling down thoughts and ideas that were rolling around in my head. Here’s where my morning got interesting: Out of nowhere, Spencer casually mentioned to me that he’s been using ChatGPT at school. ...And he's just eight years old! It made me pause and think about how quickly technology becomes a part of our daily lives—even in primary school! It’s fascinating but also a bit of a wake-up call. I know many talented coaches and consultants who are still hesitant to integrate tools like ChatGPT into their workflow. If an eight-year-old can find a purpose for AI, imagine the potential it could unlock for you in your professional life. On a related note, I was chatting with my good friend Marcus Sheridan this week, and he asked me about my productivity since integrating AI tools. Initially, I thought it might have tripled my output, but honestly, it's much more than that. It's not just about getting more done—it's about getting it done faster and better. I estimate a 15 to 20 times increase in what I can accomplish in the same amount of time, which has dramatically improved the quality of my work! He was blown away by how much progress I was able to make. So, what exactly is it that I’m doing? Here are a few practical ways I use ChatGPT to move faster:
These are just some examples of how viewing ChatGPT as an assistant and thinking partner can multiply your productivity and elevate the quality of your work. I was recently considering hiring a full-time assistant to help manage my workload. However, I’m doing a lot of this work while on the move, using the audio functionality to talk to ChatGPT just like I would delegate work to a real-life assistant. So, I've decided to hold off until I've fully maximised the use of AI tools. Here’s the thing: I’m probably using only 5% of AI tools' total capability right now! What would your work and life look like if you had an assistant at your fingertips, whether you’re a solopreneur, a business owner, or an employee? Imagine having a full-time assistant ready to work with you—how would that change how you work? 🗣️ 👀 Chris. |
Hi, Coach...
Chris Marr works with established business coaches to help them go from good to great and have more breakthrough conversations with their clients and teams.
Hi Coach, Challenges begin to arise as my clients get busier with coaching more clients. Doing administrative tasks wasn’t a big issue when they weren't so busy. However, the increase in clients has created tension. Now, I find us talking about how to get more stuff off their plate and delegate it to the client—the way it should have been from the beginning. We don’t want to be doing tasks that diminish our authority. Administrative tasks do precisely that. So, what can you delegate to your...
Hi Coach, One of my clients was venting about a particularly frustrating situation with one of their clients. You know the kind of venting I’m talking about—usually happens at home, unloading all the day’s frustrations to a patient partner. Now, here’s the thing: when we find ourselves complaining about our clients, it’s a clear signal. It means there’s a conversation we need to have with our client that we’re avoiding. Complaints are like the practice rounds for the actual conversation that...
