I asked Chat GPT: “What have I learned about how to use you in the last 5 weeks?” This was the response… You’ve learned a pretty clear “operating manual” for getting peak value out of me. Here’s what your last ~5 weeks of use suggests you’ve figured out (based on what you’ve actually been doing here). 1. You get better outputs when you assign me a role and constraints You consistently start with “You are a…” (accountant, pricing analyst, prompt engineering professor, astrophysicist). That structure is doing real work. It sharpens my assumptions and reduces generic filler. 2. You can create repeatable production systems, not just one-off answers You’ve been building: - System prompts - A “Clone Co-Pilot” framework - Personal/Work Context DNA - A Prompt LibraryThat’s you moving from “ask a question” to “build a machine.” 3. Your best results come from giving formatting rules that are non-negotiable You’ve learned to specify: - Output structure - Tone rules - What to avoidExample pattern you’ve used effectively: “No exclamation points, no em dashes, avoid absolutes, give actionable language.” That kind of constraint reliably bends style and voice. 4. You can use me as a multi-channel brand engine You’re clearly testing me as a content repurposing factory across: - Instagram - LinkedIn - X - Email outreachYou’ve learned that when you define the keystone asset + audience + CTA style, I can generate consistent variants without losing your brand spine. 5. You can turn your lived experience into structured IP Your “Inheritance” work + family context + real-life details shows you’ve realized this: If you feed me your raw story elements, I can help you shape them into an organized narrative world with continuity. 6. You’ve learned what “good input” looks like You now tend to include: - The goal - The deliverable type - The audience - The voice constraints - The next action you wantThat’s professional-grade prompting, not casual prompting.

Tony says ‘Proximity is power.’ Let’s find out who’s in proximity... Tell us all where you’re from… without actually telling us where you’re from 🤣

Great 1st day guys. Tony helped me leave corporate America and start my first business after a seminar in DC in 1993/94. Later, he helped my take massive action to quit drinking alcohol after a seminar in Tampa. Hope to ID a pattern I can tackle in semi-retirement with AI. Looking forward to tomorrow.
