Building the Business:

Better Questions❓

I had the opportunity to do the closing remarks at the PT Biz Mastermind event and I urged everyone to…

“Ask Better Questions”

👉 A great question will lead you down the path you need to go📍

👉 A bad question will lead to a solution but may not get you where you were intending 🤷🏻‍♂️

So a couple tips for asking a great question:

TIP #1:

Big Goal + Short Timeline = Great Question

If you have a goal of making $10,000,000 but your timeline is 30 years. Your questions will remain small.

But, if you have that same goal and shrink your timeline to 10 years, then 1 year, etc., the questions you ask will get better.

TIP #2:

A GREAT QUESTION has 3 characteristics:

It provides insight on what the actual problem is that needs to be addressed.
It simplifies the problem and makes it solvable.
It expands the number of possibilities available to solve the problem or improve the situation.

Hat tip to Keith Cunningham for Tip #2.

Are you asking GREAT questions?

Building the Human:

Nutrition Made Easy With AI 💻

I’ve been using ChatGPT to track my nutrition and it’s blowing every app I have ever used out of the water 🥇

I’ve tracked food and macros off and on for years. And I hate it 😒

I must be surgically attached to my phone when “tracking macros.” But AI is making this process crazy easy.

After I set my macro goals (carb/fat/protein) I have ChatGPT track all my food. Oh, and it can help you set your macro goals if you aren’t good with that stuff to begin with. Anyway, it can track, but that’s not what makes it amazing. It’s amazing because I can chat with AI. I can adjust things or get recommendations on the fly.

👉 Example**:** Making a quick decision at a restaurant

👉 Other examples:

I’ve got ‘XYZ’ in my fridge and pantry (or send it a clear picture), help me throw something together to hit my macro goals.
Here’s a picture of what I just ate, can you estimate the macros and throw it in my log?

It can even create a graph of your data.

I’ve been playing around with this GPT tracker and also my own ChatGPT Bot to dial it in.

AI is making hitting my nutrition goals way easier 🎯

Try Harder:

Luck Is Real 🍀

I can’t explain it to you, but luck is a real thing. Here’s a quote commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”

There are two ways to think about this quote:

Way #1: Some people take this as “make your own luck” and that you make your own luck through hard work.

Way #2: Luck will favor those who work hard. Work hard and “luck” comes out to play. I.e. luck is a real thing but it only ever shows its face to those who put in the work.

My first 10 years in entrepreneurship, I believed only in Way #1.

Looking back and now in my second decade of entrepreneurship, I am a believer in Way #2.

How about you? Way #1 or Way #2?

Try harder,
