The ChatGPT Prompt That Will Change Your 2026 Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

I don't use ChatGPT to "look things up." I use it like a business coach. (Yes, I talk to it in the car. Yes, its name is Chad. 😂)

"Hey Chad, poke holes in my assumptions, ask better questions, and map out my identity, content, offers, and revenue."

Game. changer. ✨

With 2025 wrapping up, it's officially planning season—and this year I used ONE ChatGPT prompt that completely shifted how I'm looking at 2026.

It helped me: ✔️ clarify what I want to be known for ✔️ simplify my platform strategy ✔️ tighten my offer suite ✔️ map out realistic revenue ✔️ build a 2026 plan that actually fits my life

2026, we're coming for you! Keep scrolling to grab the 10-part prompt that helped me map my content, niche, offers, and revenue with clarity.

Copy + paste the entire prompt below into ChatGPT, hit enter, and answer its first question to start your strategy session:

CHATGPT PROMPT: I want you to act as my strategic business coach and help me create clarity in my content, niche, and long-term business vision. Please do the following: Ask me deep follow-up questions instead of just agreeing with me. Poke holes in my assumptions and challenge my thinking. Help me identify the ONE thing I should be known for in the next 12–24 months. Help me separate my platform strategy (Instagram, YouTube, podcast, blog, etc.) and clarify what belongs where. Help me design a long-term identity arc—what I'm known for now vs. what I want to be known for in 2–3 years. Help me build a clear 6–12 month plan for my content, offers, and positioning. Help me create a revenue roadmap that matches my goals. Make sure your questions and your advice align with my actual goals—not what you think they should be. Throughout the process, continually ask: • "Why this?" • "Is this aligned with your real goals?" • "What would feel light, joyful, and sustainable?"Help me create a final strategic plan broken into: • Identity & positioning • Platform roles • Content cadence • Offer suite • Revenue plan • Next 6 months • Year 2 vision

Start by asking me: "What do you want to be known for 12 months from now, and what do you want to be known for 3 years from now?" Then continue coaching me through the rest of the process, one question at a time.

How to Build Real Confidence: Stop Waiting for the "Magic Switch Flip" Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Ever wonder how truly confident people got that way? Is it a gift? A switch they flipped? Or something they just are?

In this eye-opening episode, we're challenging the common—and often misleading—definition of confidence. I share my personal journey and reveal a powerful truth: building self-assurance is a process of becoming, not an event.

What You'll Discover:

Why instant results are a myth and long-term, disciplined commitment is the real magic bullet.
The danger of sitting on the "fence of decision"—and how to finally get off it and start moving your business forward.
Why you need the willingness to be bad at something (like creating new content) to eventually become great.
The game-changing importance of having a fun, compelling vision for your goals.
Practical, actionable systems to reduce friction and boost your consistency in showing up for your business.
The critical role of finding a supportive community (and how to stop letting "mom guilt" sabotage your ambition).

Confidence isn't given; it's earned through consistent action. If you're tired of waiting to feel ready, this episode gives you the exact steps to start becoming the person and business owner you know you're meant to be, inch by inch, win by win.
