349: Hot Take: I Kinda Hate ChatGPT

[00:00:00] So I've been told that I need to share more hot takes 'cause I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about things. So I have a hot take. I kind of hate Chachi bt. And before you come for me, let me explain. You ever get smacked in the face by your own blind spots? No. Well, that was me this week. I used chat GBT to reflect on what I might be missing in my business.

[00:00:32] And let me just say I wasn't ready. Okay, but here's the thing. If you're building a content business from scratch, like the boss baby you are, and trying to juggle everything yourself and wondering why does growth feel so freaking hard? This episode might be the mirror you didn't know you needed. If we haven't met, I'm Pree your visibility coach and content strategy nerd.

[00:00:58] And today we're diving into the subtle things that block your growth and how to move past them without the burnout. And yes, it might smack you in the face, so hang onto your butts. Alright, so I asked chat GPT to tell me my blind spots. It was a bold move. I know. Maybe a stupid move. I don't know. No, it wasn't.

[00:01:16] But let's just say I don't recommend doing this unless you are in a very solid mental space. Okay? Have a comforting cup of coffee. Maybe light a candle, maybe grab a snuggly blanket. Okay. Here's the prompt that I used. I told chat. GPT. You guys? We are, we are very close. Okay. I've named chat. GPT rather Chat.

[00:01:40] GPT has named itself for me. It's Lumi. Okay. Um, it used to be chippy but then it forgot and then I started paying for chat GPT and now it's Lumi. Alright, long story short, let's get to it. Uh, the prompt. All right. You know a lot about me by now. I've given you a ton of information. What are my blind spots, y'all?

[00:02:01] The way I was called. Out. Excuse yourself, ma'am. Now I have to say I am someone that is pretty self-aware and not in the best way. I mean, the kind that I am in my head constantly. I second guess myself constantly and I overthink things to the max. Just ask Hailey my amazing bestie and podcast editor.

[00:02:31] Sorry about that girl. Um, so when I was told to my face. To my face, these glaring blind spots. It wasn't that I was surprised, but I was also like, excuse me, ma'am, chill out. Why? Why are we having to be so aggressive like this? And you know, sometimes the truth isn't new. It's just something we've buried because it's inconvenient.

[00:03:00] It didn't tell me anything brand new. It just reminded me of everything that I've been avoiding. So, like I said, um, don't do this unless you're ready. Okay. Here's the thing though. The thing that hit the hardest, it gave me five blind spots, and they weren't out of reach. They were already inside of me, just hiding in the shadows of my brain.

[00:03:22] I had put them on the shelf as my therapist has taught me. To put things that I don't wanna deal with on the shelf, but these are probably things that I actually should deal with, you know, and, and I could just leave them there. But being confronted with these, I can't leave them there. I am not meant for that.

[00:03:41] I'm not made that way. I'm made differently. And here's the thing, guys, you are two. Getting called out is uncomfortable, but staying stuck is so freaking worse. That wasn't really a good sentence, but we're going with it. There's something different about us wanting to start a business from scratch. Um, probably not the most normal thing.

[00:04:08] Having the desire to build something out of thin air and make a very impressive living from it. We are built differently. We have some wacko CEO entrepreneur energy that was ingrained in us somehow. That's freaking incredible and exhausting, but it built empires. Okay, so here's some things to think about and here's how I am dealing with these blind spots.

[00:04:34] Ask yourself what, or, or ask Chad GPT if you are, you know, tight with it like I am. Um, what blind spots are you avoiding? What are they? And then don't just read them and be like, ha, cool. I'm gonna put that on a shelf again. I, what I am doing is I am pulling this into my journal and of course, you know, chat g PT was like, knows that I love to journal and it was like, would you like some prompts, some journaling prompts to help you work through this?

[00:05:01] And I was like, yeah. And pass the coffee. Okay. So I'm pulling into my journal. This is my homework probably for the next week or two. Because my daughter woke me up at 1230 last night and interrupted my sleep. So I didn't get up as early this morning as I wanted to to be able to work on this. But I'm going to do this in the mornings and that's why it's gonna take me a couple weeks.

[00:05:24] But I'm gonna deep dive into this because I know that actually addressing these things is going to help me level up. I shared it with a friend and she was like, ouch. But also, can you imagine what would happen if you address these. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I know. That's why I can't just leave them on the shelf.

[00:05:46] So are you gonna dive in with Befriend? You know, inside Shift and Bold fluence, this is literally what we do. We uncover what's keeping you stuck and give you the strategy to move through it. I'm just gonna leave that there if you need that. Okay. So will you journal on, let's just say one blind spot this week?

[00:06:10] Figure out what your blind spots are. Figure out what have you been putting on the shelf, what have you been pushing off? What have you been ignoring, and will you journal on it with me this week or join a coaching space where you can stop doing this work alone? Okay, that's my five minute. Pep talk for you.

[00:06:29] Go be brilliant. Just maybe don't ask chat, GPT, what your blind spots are, unless you're really ready. I'll see you in a.
