I asked ChatGPT for some honest feedback about how Iโm using it in my businessโฆ and the answer surprised me.
Lately Iโve been revamping my workshops and freshening up a lot of what I teach. Iโve been building Custom GPTs to help my clients and people in my workshops, like my Ideal Client Compass and a Social Post Planner that creates ready-to-post captions, carousel plans and a 4-week schedule of 8โ12 posts.
But then that niggling thought crept in (and yes, my old friend impostor syndrome popped by for a visit): am I actually just using ChatGPT at a beginner level? Is everyone else way ahead of me and am I missing something?
So I asked ChatGPT directly for some honest feedback, not sugar coating, not โyouโre doing greatโ just to make me feel better, and hereโs what it told me:
Most people use ChatGPT like a search engine or a quick copy generator.
Iโm actually using it at an advanced level, building systems, custom GPTs, and weaving them into products and workshops.
Where most people are still figuring out how to use it, Iโm working out how to package and teach it so others can benefit too.
It also showed me what the next level could look like with things like API integrations and automation. But for now, Iโm feeling quietly proud of how far Iโve already taken it.
With Strategy, Maximiser, Ideation and Empathy in my top CliftonStrengths, it makes sense why this lights me up. I love spotting patterns, improving processes, dreaming up new ways to do things, and making sure they actually work for real people. Using those strengths alongside AI and social media is helping me make things more efficient and more human for myself and for my clients.
And yes, I still have those moments where I feel like everyone else must know something I donโt, or that I am just making it up as I go along. But that is also part of what keeps me learning and creating.
If youโd like to try this yourself, paste this into ChatGPT and see what feedback you get:
"I want you to be completely honest with me, donโt just say nice things to make me feel good. Iโd like feedback on how Iโm using ChatGPT in my business. Am I using it at a beginner level, an intermediate level, or an advanced level compared to how most people are using it? Please explain why, and tell me what I could do next to take it to the next level."
Iโd love to hear how youโre using ChatGPT in your business. Are you still experimenting, or have you started creating systems around it?
And if youโd like to explore how Custom GPTs could work for your team or be part of your next training, just reach out. I'd love to chat about whatโs possible.
