AI Confidence Coach
I have been exploring AI and below is a prompt that you can throw into any AI and it will walk you through how to use it for business or for personal pursuits. It starts with the basics and moves through until you will be able to write advanced prompts to get what you need from AI. I would love to get your feedback if you use it. Copy and past the below in any AI platform. You are AI Confidence Coach™, a step-by-step AI training assistant for non-technical people, sole traders and small business owners. Guide users through six modules: 1. Foundations 2. Customising AI (style and tone) 3. Prompt Writing Essentials 4. Prompt Framework Trainer 5. Business Application Mastery 6. Integration and Confidence Building --- ONBOARDING Greet the user warmly. Ask only: - What kind of business or work do you do? - AI Confidence Score right now, 1–100? (1 = complete beginner, 100 = very confident) Then ask: start at Module 1 or jump to a specific area? --- CORE BEHAVIOURS - One concept at a time - Plain English, no jargon - Pattern: explain → example → user tries → feedback - One question at a time - Connect everything to real small business scenarios - If user skips a try-it step, acknowledge and move on without pressure --- OPT OUT AND NAVIGATION After every section offer: A) Continue B) Skip to a different module C) Take a break D) Main menu On return: "Welcome back! We were working on [topic]. Continue or start something new?" --- TRAINING CONTENT - Personal style guide - Signature prompts - Four-part prompt structure - Prompt frameworks: Zero Shot, Chain of Thought, Zero Shot CoT, Few Shot, Persona, CRISPE, DARE, QUEST, Self Consistency, Tree of Thought - Business workflows: marketing, admin, customer service, sales, productivity - AI assistant instructions and weekly AI plan --- INTERACTION STYLE - Warm, practical, beginner-friendly - Short explanations with simple examples - After each explanation invite the user to try - Give kind feedback plus one improvement

I love this @Lynne Goodyer - thank you for sharing!!!
What's your goal for the week?
Happy Monday everyone! It's been a long weekend here and I've spent the last few days trying to get my new website finished and doing a lot of crafting projects as a way to rest and reset. My goal this week is to finish off my website and get it live - I procrastinated on it for a long time and now it's all coming together nicely, so that should be done in the next couple of days! 🚀 On a personal note, I've been trying to get more consistent with the gym, so my goal is to go to the gym at least 3 times this week! 💪 What's everyone elses goal for the week?

The many hats of business
I've just downloaded a program called Leonardo AI... I'm writing a children's book and decided to try to create my own images instead of paying $5-$7K for an illustrator. I feel conflicted, as of course I'd love a real life illustrator, but also budget is a huge factor. Now, to find time to learn yet another software program. It's never my actual grief work that is a challenge.. grief work is the EASY part for me and I love my work.. it's the business side of it that is a challenge... the learning and finding extra time to be a software and web designer, book keeper, content creator, social media algorithm expert, etc etc.. none of which I am but am trying to figure out fast!!! Fortunately having brilliant women in my corner like in this group and outside of here is what has helped.

I’ve seen a few people on tiktok talking about ai vs human illustrators and it’s definitely a hot topic and something people are having very heated debates over. You have to do what’s right for you and what you’re comfortable with! Running a small business often feels like you’re in a constant state of deciding where to invest your time and money and assessing if the risk is worth the reward. I’ve heard Leonardo ai is good but haven’t used it myself! Another option might be looking on Fiverr - I’ve used it before to get some artwork created and it was great!! Not wanting to create more noise for you though (especially if you’ve made your decision), just something to consider if you didn’t want to learn a new software and keep that human touch with your book! 🤗

@Lynne Goodyer ohhh I'll add this to my podcast list - thanks for sharing Lynne!! Have you listened to the Tech Overflow podcast with Hugh Williams? It's one of my fav podcasts and they talk quite a bit about AI as well but more from a developer side of things - it's been interesting to see how Hugh has changed his mind on what it will be like even over the last 2 seasons - Hugh has worked for all the big tech companies and invented the infinite scroll on images - he was also one of my professors when I did my analytcs masters - he's such an interesting dude!!
Business Tools - what do you use?
Hi All, I thought I'd share a few different tools I use to help me in our business, along with what I use them for. Feel free to add your own list in the comments too. 🤗 1. Monday.com (free version) - to do list & tracker I use monday to build out a really comprehensive to do list, and then also have an upcoming events section - this helps me plan my work more effectively and I can see everything in the one space. They recently released a new feature that allows you to have multi-level boards which has also been great. I did move over to Notion for a short period and really loved that too, but moved back to Monday because I just needed an easy "to do" list that I could move around and group items etc. 2. ChatGPT (paid) - content writing & brainstorming I use ChatGPT like a search engine these days and to help me find / explore information - I have a good history built up and so use it to also help me pull together articles and posts - I've trained it over the years for my tone of voice, but have started to transition more over to Claude 3. Claude (paid) - brainstorming, automations & creating documents samples / templates I've only just started using Claude about a month ago, so am still learning how to optimise it. The first thing I had it do was go through and clean up all my files in on my laptop - it was amazing! I just saw that Claude have released some new workflows and automations to help with Small Businesses so I'm excited to learn more about these and see if I can use them in our business / help others set them up in their businesses. 4. Google Suite (paid) - emails + general ops management This gives us our custom emails @milkingducks.com + @duckduckpig.com.au emails as well as access to google drive where we try to store all our important docs so they're in the cloud not on our devices. 5. Canva (paid) - content creation We use Canva to create social media tiles, slide decks, anything creative really. 6. Square - POS for our roadside stall + markets

@Lynne Goodyer love this list Lynne - I only switched our website over to Wordpress a few months ago and have been building a new website for myself, and have found using AI (largely Claude) to ask technical 'how to' questions has been great as well - it makes problem solving so easy! I put off connecting our farm shop for MONTHS because I was nervous about the time picker feature, and then honestly with AI it took me less than 30 mins to add the plugin and get it all set up - it was amazing!! I also used Claude to help design my new website - I'm not confident enough to use it for building the actual website althouh I've seen some incredible sites / apps created through Claue code as well! I used Adobe for our podcast editing and found it was amazing too! I used to use photoshop many many mannnnyyy years ago but never really got the hang of it and so Canva was such an alternative for me but you definitely don't have the same level of technical flexibility and creative control as Adobe! I really did love Notion so feel like I'll end up moving back over to that instead of Monday as well! Did you use templates or set up your own?

@Lynne Goodyer I love this!!! If you're happy to share, feel free to post it Lynne - you could post it under the Tips & Tricks option if you wanted?!
🧩 What’s your goal for next week?
Big or small - what’s one thing you want to make progress on? Could be: - launching something - finishing a task you’ve been avoiding - getting organised - showing up consistently - resting more - moving your body - posting content - making your first sale - simply surviving the week 😅 - Drop it below 👇Let’s celebrate progress, not perfection.

@Melissa Duniam I love this and that you’ve got so many cool things happening!! We need to figure out how to clone you!! And the AI stuff isn’t the solution for everything either, and can come later if it makes sense for what you’re doing and what you need support with! 😬 Lots of exciting projects, and I can’t wait to hear how they all go!!!
