Every time you feel resistance, remember this. Resistance only shows up when something actually matters. It doesn’t show up for the easy stuff. It doesn’t show up for distractions. It shows up when you are on the edge of growth. I have felt resistance before every big move I ever made. Writing my first book. Launching my first course. Making my first hire. Every single time. If you are feeling it today… good. It means you are standing at a doorway. Push through it. On the other side is the version of you you’ve been trying to become. Question for the group:What are you feeling resistance around right now? Drop it below. This is the room where we beat it together.

I'm Chuck in France, a sort of coach and a creator of a few things. I'm looking to learn to use AI for fun and profit. Please let me know if I introduced myself ok.

There is a quiet source of AI anxiety that almost nobody admits out loud. You see screenshots of complex AI workflows... You watch people talk about how they automated half their business.You hear terms like "agents", "custom models" and "pipelines". And a small voice in your head says: "I am way behind. I am barely using this thing." If that feels familiar, you are not alone. The highlight reel problem Social posts, case studies and tool demos rarely show: - The half-baked experiments that went nowhere - The prompts that did not work - The systems that broke after a week - The hours spent debugging You see the impressive outcome, not the messy middle. It is the same pattern you see in fitness, finances and business growth... We are simply not wired to remember that we are looking at the best 5 percent of someone’s journey. What progress actually looks like When we look at people who integrate AI successfully, their progress is usually boring. It looks like: - Using AI for one type of writing until it feels natural - Then adding one more use case - Then tweaking a workflow that already works Month by month, their life gets easier. - They start using AI for outlines - Then for rough drafts - Then for summaries - Then for brainstorming - Then for planning At no point do they suddenly become a different person. They just keep stacking practical wins. The cost of comparison When you compare your day one to someone else’s year two, a few things happen: - You feel overwhelmed instead of curious - You judge your simple use cases as "not enough" - You try to skip steps and copy complex systems - You burn out and decide "AI is not for me" In reality, your "simple" uses might already be saving you: - Hours of decision fatigue - Emotional energy on tasks you hate - Cognitive load from repetitive work You just do not give yourself credit because it does not look fancy. A different way to measure your progress Instead of asking:

Most people think of AI as a business tool. Write content. Draft emails. Summarize meetings.All useful, and all valuable. What often gets overlooked is how much AI can help you reclaim energy in your personal life too. We want you to imagine AI not just as a work assistant, but as a quiet support system for the rest of your life. The mental load problem Outside of work, many people are carrying an invisible mental checklist: - Groceries - Meals - Appointments - Kids’ schedules - Travel plans - Home projects - Personal goals None of these tasks are huge on their own, but together they create constant background noise. AI cannot live your life for you, but it can carry some of that mental load. Everyday ways AI can help you at home Here are practical, non-techy uses that we have seen work well: 1. Meal planning without decision fatigue - Ask AI for a simple weekly meal plan based on: - Have it generate a shopping list you can copy into your grocery app You are still in charge of what you eat. You are just not staring at the fridge wondering what to make. 2. Planning family schedules - Paste in the sports practices, lessons and events - Ask AI to: Spot conflicts, Suggest the simplest weekly rhythm, Create a summary you can share with everyone - You still make the decisions, AI just helps you see the week clearly. 3. Making personal admin less painful Think of things like: - Renewing documents - Booking appointments - Comparing options for a purchase You can ask AI to: - Create checklists - Draft emails or messages - Summarize pros and cons for different choices You still choose. You just do not have to organize everything in your head. 4. Supporting your learning and hobbies Want to learn a skill, read more, or get back into a hobby? - Ask AI to create: A 4-week learning plan, A list of practice exercises, A way to track your progress Instead of feeling like you need the perfect course, you get a simple path to start.
