🤖 Your Prospect, Your Problem, and Your Promise

Understanding 3 Pillars of Your Business... With AI

Happy Thursday!

Itching for updates!?

We’ve all been hard at work to deliver the brand-new Path Membership. It’s been months in the making and it’s finally close to a public release.

It’ll include an updated version of all 3 of my main courses plus the brand new AI course called Ascension.

Listen — AI is going to take over.

Most people are not even remotely ready.

I’m going to show you how to ascend into this new A(i)GE and run most of your business operations with our friendly neighborhood robots (at least until they turn on us).

Looks pretty cool, right!?

On top of that, there’s a new section called “Trailblazers” where I will release 1-2 interviews per week from people who are crushing it.

…and it won’t just be a stupid podcast interview — they are going to lay out their exact strategies for what they are doing and how they are doing it. I’ll even capture it in notes and give you a step-by-step document to implement it on your own…

OR — you’ll see another new section for “Path Pros” — a high-end job board of vetted individuals who can execute the strategies FOR you.

Pretty freakin’ cool, right!?

Anyways, it’ll be available for you next week so keep your eyes peeled.

YOUR PROSPECT, PROBLEM, AND PROMISE

This week, I spoke to 3 separate individuals who were struggling with one of the most important parts of a business: their offer.

The conversations all went slightly like this:

“Hey man, I can’t figure this out. Should I be running ads on Facebook?”

“For what, exactly?”

“My business.”

“Yeah, I figured… but what are you doing?”

“Oh, well, I’m doing a social media agency that sells dinosaur bones and I think I’ll provide a massage service.”

“…wait, what? You don’t just have one thing you’re doing? Like if I just asked you what are you selling me… what would you say?”

“Uh… well… I guess just pick one for me.”

“No, that’s not how this works. What are you offering? To who? I give you money, what do I get in return?”

“Any of those things.”

🥹

This all made for a very sad Steve.

So instead of trying to teach this over and over again, I thought I’d just share a couple of simple (but powerful) ChatGPT prompts that will solve all of these issues for you.

1. WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?

Let’s start by identifying who you want to work with. Below is the first prompt you’ll copy and paste into ChatGPT.

You’ll have to replace the 2 brackets with what you have, and what you do.

“I run an agency where I help people get leads on social media.”

“I have a store where I sell people cool t-shirts.”

“I run a gift shop that sells dinosaur bones.”

ChatGPT will do MOST of the work for you here, but you’ve got to try a LITTLE:

I run [DESCRIBE YOUR OPPORTUNITY] where I help people to [OUTCOME]. List down 10 most likeliest prospects who will purchase such a service. 

Then, further narrow down this list into 20% of the people who will most likely drive 80% of the sales. List Top 3 most likely prospects, and describe their likely profession. 

After that, indicate the number one most likely and why you think so.

2. WHAT ARE THEIR BIGGEST PROBLEMS?

Now that we have some likely prospects, let’s pick ONE and insert it into this next prompt identifying problems and fears they might have.

You can always paste this prompt in multiple times with different prospects/customer avatars if you’d like.

The number one prospect for my business is [PROSPECT] What are the Top Ten biggest fears that keeps the number one prospect of my business up at night? To each of the fears, give context and explain why. After you explain that, tell me what you think is the Number One Biggest FEAR/PAIN that keeps them up at night, and why you think so.

Remember, ChatGPT is your friend and assistant — not your boss. If it picks one and you’d prefer something else… just tell it!

Pretend you’re having a conversation with a friend… pretend you’re texting ME.

Next, to narrow this down even more, let’s use the next prompt:

Give me a short phrase to describe the Number One Biggest [FEAR/PAIN]. Use no more than 5 words.

3. WHAT IS THE OUTCOME THEY WANT?

Finally, let’s identify the top outcomes this prospect would be most motivated to achieve.

I have decided that [FEAR/PAIN] is the main fear that my business will solve. 

List the Top Ten outcomes that the number one prospect of my business dreams about that they want to achieve. Describe the context, and emotions experienced. Be specific and give detailed examples for each. Then, of all the dream outcomes listed above and any others that you know, what do you think is the single biggest dream outcome? Also what will it enable them to do? Be vivid, specific and give any detailed examples if possible.

And again, let’s simplify:

Prompt #2: 
Give me a short phrase to describe the Number One Biggest Outcome. Use no more than 5 words.

SO WHAT DOES THIS GIVE US…?

So now what?

We’ve got a bunch of mumbo jumbo on the page… what do we do with it?

This is where you’ll have to use some of that brain juice of yours. You should have gotten several ideas, a lot more clarity on your offer, the biggest pain points, and the most desired outcomes of the best prospect for your product or service.

These all combine to create a real offer.

“I help X to achieve Y even if Z.”

“I help real estate developers find reliable electricians even when the market is crazy.”

(Or something like that)

I’m being vague on purpose here so you don’t just look at my answers and say “well that’s what I should do.”

I want you to explore.

I want you to get used to communicating with your new AI friends.

I want you to understand that these tools are far more powerful than anyone is giving them credit for currently.

The most valuable thing I can do for you today is to get you using ChatGPT (and others) daily to grow your business.

If you don’t have ChatGPT open on a separate browser tab at all times, you’re falling behind. It’s no time to be left behind, it’s time to ASCEND!

  • Automated Annual Renewals And State Compliance (even while you’re traveling!)

  • PLUS: Virtual Mailboxes To Receive Important Documents And More!

I’ve been a “digital nomad” for 15 years now, traveling from beach to beach, city to city. That’s all good until the business starts to really succeed and you’ve got to stay organized, file properly for compliance, get important communications, and more.

It makes you just want to say “screw it, I’ll go get an office.”

Then you’re paying rent, dealing with issues, you’re sort of stuck in a physical location (even if there’s not much going on there) — with Business Anywhere, it’s all taken care of for you. They register my LLCS with their registered agent, they fill out the paperwork at the end of the year to renew and stay in compliance, the mail is automatically scanned and sent to me in a safe and secure way — they just make it easy.

I’m a huge fan and if you need a new entity, want to restructure your current entity, or just need a digital “headquarters” — these are the guys to use:
