Hey friend,

Most people use ChatGPT like a vending machine.
Type something vague. Get something generic.

Then they say,
“AI doesn’t sound like me.”

The problem isn’t the tool.
It’s how you’re using it.

If you want to run a real 1-person business with AI, you need ChatGPT to think and talk like you – not like a copy of everyone else on the internet.

Let me break down what that actually looks like in practice.

The 3 mistakes people make with ChatGPT

They give it no context
“Write me a LinkedIn post about leadership.”
That’s not a brief. That’s a wish.

No identity.
No audience.
No point of view.

So of course the output is bland.

They judge AI on the first draft
They see the first answer, hate it, and close the tab.

In their head:
“See, this is why I don’t use AI.”

In reality:
They gave it less instruction than they’d give a junior intern on day one.

They use it for tasks, not for thinking
They ask it for captions, emails, hooks.
But they never use it to structure their offer, clarify their message, or organize their thinking.

So their business stays complicated, and their content stays random.

What “doing it right” looks like

You want ChatGPT to feel like a lighter version of you:
Same beliefs. Same tone. Same standards.

That starts with 3 things:

1. Train it on your brain, not on “topics”

Instead of asking it for “ideas about marketing” or “content for founders,” you feed it you.

You teach it:

How you describe what you do
How you explain concepts to clients
The kind of language you would never use
The phrases you naturally repeat

You’re not saying: “Write a post about offers.”
You’re saying: “This is how I talk about offers. Learn this first. Now help me write faster from here.”

Result:
The draft you get is 70–80% you.
You only need to edit nuance, not rewrite everything from scratch.

2. Set clear roles inside ChatGPT

Most people use one chat for everything.
So it behaves like a generalist.

Instead, you give it roles:

“You are my content brain”
Use this to brainstorm, outline, and draft posts, emails, and scripts.
“You are my systems brain”
Use this for SOPs, onboarding flows, client journeys, and templates.
“You are my decision brain”
Use this to think through offers, pricing, positioning, and tradeoffs.

Same tool. Different “hats.”
Your job is not to write perfect prompts.
Your job is to be specific about what version of you it should be right now.

3. Build tiny repeatable workflows, not one-off miracles

One-off prompts don’t build a stable business.
Workflows do.

For example:

Content workflow
→ You brain-dump an idea in rough bullets
→ ChatGPT turns it into 3 formats (post, email, short script)
→ You refine tone once, then reuse that pattern next time
Client workflow
→ You paste key points after a call
→ ChatGPT turns it into a recap, next steps, and follow-up email
→ Everything goes out same day, without you staring at an empty screen
Offer workflow
→ You describe what you already do for clients
→ ChatGPT helps you sharpen the promise, name, and structure
→ You end up with something you can explain in 2–3 clear sentences

Once these are in place, you’re no longer asking,
“What should I write today?”
“What should I send this client?”
“How do I package this?”

You already have a “you-powered” system running in the background.
You just plug in the raw material and let AI do the heavy lifting.

What this unlocks for a 1-person business

When ChatGPT is set up properly, it becomes:

Your content team
So you show up consistently without burning out
Your operations assistant
So onboarding, follow-up, and documentation stop living only in your head
Your strategy partner
So you’re not making every decision alone at 11:30 pm with 12 tabs open

You keep the judgment, the standards, the final say.
AI does the first 80% so you can focus on the 20% only you can do.

If you want to 3x profit, not just “play with AI”

This isn’t about saving five minutes on a LinkedIn caption.
It’s about building a business where:

Your pipeline doesn’t depend on random inspiration
Your delivery doesn’t depend on you remembering everything
Your energy goes into high-value work, not repetitive admin and formatting

If you’re genuinely willing to see how I can help you use ChatGPT this way and 3x your profit, hit reply and just write:

“AI”.

I’ll send you a simple breakdown of what this could look like in your business, and if it feels right, we can take it from there.
