If you want to improve, first you must measure. In a previous life as an ops consultant, developing and installing metrics that were reviewed regularly would always deliver an improvement even before we updated their processes and procedures :) Super useful to see these numbers and see the process working for you!

So many thought provoking ideas here @Dan Harrison !! ( @Sheldon Victorine - which bits of your business can AI amplify/improve the efficient creation & delivery of, @Katarína Cakovska which parts of your value-add are inescapably human). Two additional thoughts keep rolling around in my head: 1. is the 2nd and 3rd order impacts of this shift (which may or may not be wandering into existential crisis territory... 😅). For example, if I offer a course and there's a GPT guide, the client will ask that GPT questions rather than me (the coach) or the community (if on Skool). Whilst the client will get instant access to an answer, they're missing an opportunity to connect with others, and I'm missing an opportunity to learn. If I wrote a book, I would become a better communicator and expert in my ideas and their implementation, not because there's a book with my name on it out there, but because I went through the difficult process of writing the book. The same is true with coaching - if I outsource the actual coaching to a chat bot, I don't become a better coach. The chatbot does. 2. is the ultimately replaceability of anything that we create in this way. If the way that we create GPTs is by uploading source information and instructions on how to interact (adopting styles, being patient and progressing at the pace of the client etc.) then theoretically, anyone with ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude could collect lots of the work of Tony Robbins, load it all up into the GPT, add some instructions (which users can ask the AI to create for them too) and voila! The big Tony in your pocket, personalised and ready to support you. Always available, infinitely patient, crazy knowledgeable. Why would I pay for someone else's course any more? In an age where information is freely available and the implementation is the value add, anyone can now create the implementation support by adding instructional layers to an information upload. Which means if this is your product and service, then your value goes down because the barrier to entry for your competition is significantly lower as it's people creating something like it themselves. Essentially the shift that meant that information moved from rare to freely available will happen with implementation. If your product or service doesn't rely on or have a significant human connection component, then AI (bought or created at home) will ultimately replace all of it. It's just a question of time. Unless all of the AI companies go bust because they've yet to turn a profit...

I'm happy to go down the rabbit hole with you @Sheldon Victorine , but if you want to go down ON the rabbit hole... I'm afraid you're on your own! 😅😅 Having got that important point across... there's definitely something in the celebrity side of things - I would still love to meet, talk to and spend time with many great people! I just worry that the future will have fewer great people, because they simply won't have put the work in to become great. (I'm making the extreme case to make the point btw, I think this future is at least 18-24 months away... 😅) Why learn to do research and organise my thoughts if I can get a bot to do it? Why learn to guide different types of people through a process if a bot can do it faster and at more scale? Why learn the latest advances in my field if I can just upload the latest paper/study to my GPT? There were a few studies that made for some bleak reading (e.g. AI Assisted Writers showed lower brain activity) the summary of which is that getting AI to create stuff reduces the ability of the human and produces more generic, less personal and less creative content; however, getting the human to create a final version first and then get feedback that they act on themselves actually increases brain activity. The way that AI is used is critical. In this case, the study findings suggest that AI assisted learning (if feedback based) is powerful, so clients may benefit. For the coach/teacher, there's less and less for them to do, whatever the subject or scenario, which limits their own growth.

Worth a watch :) Thanks for sharing!

Hey All! Without excuse for the delays, I've completed the offer docs and would love any and all feedback :) Thanks in advance!! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DLKoLDK1BB_6GIytz7l0UMef6KaNgckS2tIkQSbeMLQ/edit?usp=sharing @Dan Harrison @Alexander VandeLaar And LF-ing-G Baby!!!!

Congrats @Robert Nebergall Great to see!!
