I spotted this ad on Facebook today:

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I have more than a few friends who claim they use ChatGPT in this way. They ask questions of it, make elaborate plans, and believe that Chatty’s “advice” has some value.

Here’s the problem.

ChatGPT is a “yes” man. It will tell you every idea is the right move. You can test this yourself.

I outlined a new “business idea” to it recently—one that was so much nonsense even the dog knew it wouldn’t fly. Chatty didn’t shoot me down. It encouraged me. Told me all the reasons it would work, and offered to create a 90-day map for me to follow.

Here’s a better way to “get advice from the version of you who already achieved what you’re working toward.”

Hire an actual human coach who has the business and the life you want.

Someone with real experience, who won’t blindly agree with you, but who will question your assumptions and encourage you to think more deeply. Someone who will help you create a plan, and who won’t accept your excuses when you hold back and “wait for the right time,” again.

I have one coaching spot remaining this quarter if you’re ready. Book a call here to see how we can work together.

If coaching with me isn’t on your to-do list, that’s ok. But please don’t use ChatGPT as a business coach. It’s not qualified, and it will steer you wrong. Use your own brain instead, it’s much wiser.

You should trust it.
