I was learning, but not implementing.
Like a lot of people, I’ve learned to rely on AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for guidance in my business. But recently, I realized I fell victim to a trap: I was using them to entertain myself instead of actually applying the advice.
So, I decided to stop asking for "tips" and asked for a personal and business audit
I asked Chat to: “Provide an honest assessment of my recurring misunderstandings and identify suggested actions that remain unimplemented, based on the totality of previous threads and conversations.”
I wanted to see where I was getting in my own way. Here were the top results. Not all because there was a lot more, but these were the ones that stood out.:
- On Pricing: “You partly see value pricing as a communication trick rather than a business rule set. Until it becomes a rule... you’ll keep emotionally negotiating against yourself.”
- On Focus: “You conceptually know you need a core offer, but you haven’t fully internalized that everything either ladders into that offer or is disqualified. Without that constraint, your day keeps getting filled by custom, low-leverage work.”
- On Action: “There is still an expectation that better wording or a smarter automation will fix lead flow... Scripts are tools, not the engine. The engine is you sending enough of them.”
It’s not easy seeing exactly how you’ve been in your own way, but I’m glad I asked.
I realized I had fallen into my old habit of learning without implementing. I’ve read Alex Hormozi’s books enough times that I should be a millionaire by now. But realistically, I was doing exactly what he warns against: getting the knowledge but not doing anything with it.
I’m curious, what is one "bottleneck" or hard truth you’ve discovered on your creative business journey recently?
