How to use ChatGPT to optimize your business.
We’ve all know, time is money and money can’t buy time.
Even if you had all the money in the world, you still couldn’t buy more time as time is a finite and non-renewable.
Money can buy certain things that can save you time, such as hiring someone to do almost anything nowadays, saving you time, but not slowing it down.
Why this matters?
ChatGPT even in its infancy is creating waves throughout the internet. But its debut has been met with praise and pushback… and although it’s not perfect and in still in Beta (essentially), no one is talking about how to use it and solely focus on it’s drawbacks.
It’s all about the inputs (aka prompts) and how you use phrase them.
As an SEO professional with 15 years experience, I know even Google doesn’t get it right all the time. If you don’t like what you find on page one, you change your search query, you rephrase and search again till you find what YOU were looking for.
The point is, as people talk about ChatGPT and share their screen shots, you’ll notice their prompts are vague – it’s like setting you up for failure by displaying their negative experience and not how to use the program to your benefit.
Overall, by putting in the correct prompts and training it to improve your efficiency, customer retention, content personalization (like writing a product description), it can also be integrated into your calendar software to allow customers to schedule appointments, reducing the need to manually manage their schedule.

What is natural language modeling?
Language modeling is a type of artificial intelligence that involves teaching a computer to understand and generate human language. The goal is for the generated text to be natural and coherent, as if it were written or spoken by a human.
Given a certain input, such as a “prompt” or a sentence, the model will generate text that is a continuation of that input. But how you structure that input matters because it will determine the output.
Have you ever heard the expression, it’s not what you say it’s how you say it.
The same applies to ChatGPT.
The examples below shows a general and specific inputs, you’ll notice the intent of the input is to help a business owner who is a Professional Chef.
You’ll notice the more specific you become the more detailed the output. All the response are helpful, but it requires you to be specific in order to get specific details such as timelines, etc.

The problem with knowing what to do, and not doing it.
Knowing what to do and taking action – are two different things.
Knowing what to do refers to having knowledge or understanding of the steps that need to be taken to achieve a goal or complete a task. It’s about having the information or the plan of action.
On the other hand, taking action on what you need to do refers to actually doing the things you know you need to do in order to achieve a goal or complete a task. It’s about putting your knowledge into practice and making things happen.
For example, the chef in this example who wants to improve their business may know that they need to create a website, social media profiles, and an online menu, but if they don’t take action and actually create those things, they will not be able to improve their business.
With ChatGPT this Chef can now build a plan easily and use the service like a virtual employee with knowledge in every vertical.
In other words, knowing what to do is important, but it’s not enough. To achieve success, you must take action on the things you know you need to do and that’s where ChatGPT can be your unofficial business partner in all area’s of your business.
Almost every digital marketer, will have an opinion on AI
The use of AI technology, including ChatGPT, can bring many benefits to small business owners, but it’s also important to consider potential downsides, such as the cost of implementing the technology, the need for training and maintenance, and the potential for job displacement.
AI will not replace humans but it will disrupt jobs, like the self-service kiosks at your local grocery store, but not if you use it like a Swiss Army knife in your phone that lives in your pocket everywhere you go.
I think it can be argued that it will only assist human’s, making their work more efficient, accurate, and effective as the technology advances.
It’s like everyone in the world got a mini personal assistant in their pocket, you just have to know how to ask the right questions to get the right answers.
