“There’s something so compelling about showing up and being who you are.” ✨ ~Denise Duffield-Thomas

If ChatGPT wrote #jesspicks... (#327)

I was playing with ChatGPT earlier this week and created a Chat about side hustler problems and challenges (join the convo; I’d love to get your thoughts!)

Since I was already on a GPT roll, I thought it might be fun to have it write this week’s newsletter. 🤖 Here is the prompt I used:

Please write a 250-word newsletter to side hustlers and part-time entrepreneurs that is inspirational and helps them keep going.

Here is what it wrote:

Dear Side Hustlers and Part-Time Entrepreneurs,

I know that building a side hustle or part-time business can be a challenging and sometimes lonely journey. You often have to balance your passion project with a full-time job, family commitments, and other responsibilities. It can be tough to stay motivated and keep going, especially when you face setbacks and obstacles.

But I want to remind you that you are doing something incredible. You are pursuing your dreams and taking action to make them a reality. You are putting in the hard work, the long hours, and the dedication that it takes to build something from scratch. And that is no small feat.

So when you feel like giving up, when you feel like it's too hard, too overwhelming, or too impossible, remember why you started. Remember the passion that ignited your desire to create something of your own. Remember the vision that you have for your future, and the impact that you want to make in the world.

And most importantly, remember that you are not alone. There are millions of people just like you who are pursuing their dreams and building their own businesses. Reach out to them, connect with them, and learn from them. Join communities, attend events, and seek out mentors who can guide you on your journey.

Keep going, my fellow side hustlers and part-time entrepreneurs. Believe in yourself, trust the process, and know that every step you take brings you closer to your goals. You've got this.

I agree with this and would write some parts differently, but it’s not bad, right?

I’m so intrigued by all these tools can do and excited to keep learning about them.

• 🎧. Listening: My Life Philosophy: How I Live a Keyless Life. Love this podcast episode from Denise Duffield-Thomas. She talks about how she created ease in her life, starting with getting rid of keys, but also how she has automated and created systems for other things, including her business.
  

• 📚. Tool: SaneBox. You might love this tool if you find it hard to manage your email. I’ve been using it for over two years, and it helps me focus more on my inbox and schedule times to check out newsletters and stuff that is not as urgent. Might save you some time. 😉

5 Tools Creators Can Use To Show Up Even On The Hard Days

“At the end of the day showing up is like building a muscle… The more you show up, the more you build the muscle. And the more you build the muscle the easier it becomes to show up.”

I have found working overtime on the good days to be a great strategy. You can use that momentum to carve some things out for those days you’re not feeling your best. It goes along with honoring my energy and doing what I can so that future Jess will be better off.
