5 ChatGPT Prompts: Leverage Your Unique Talents And Stop Overthinking – Forbes
5 ChatGPT prompts to leverage your unique talents (and stop overthinking)
You have ace cards you’re not playing and I know that for sure. Most entrepreneurs are making their progress more difficult than it needs to be. They are getting in their own way. They are underestimating their strengths, overlooking their unique talents, and not showing up in a way that would make the boat go faster. This stops today. The most successful people in business, politics and media did not shy away from their skills. They leaned right in. They figured out what made them special and they shone a spotlight on the asset.
Prompt ChatGPT for revelations about your unique talents, and leverage them like never before. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
If a part of you believes that business is hard, rich people are greedy or you don’t deserve success, you will act in ways concurrent with those beliefs without even realizing. Something you were told as a kid, something you’ve been repeating your whole life, or something your best mate believes to be true: all of these will put a cap on your upper limit. Identify those limiting beliefs and smash right through that ceiling. Feel the weight lifted off your shoulders as you imagine a world where nothing holds you back. Most people don’t identify their limiting beliefs, but those that do are unstoppable.
“I want to identify and challenge my limiting beliefs that may be hindering my entrepreneurial journey. Acting as a mindset coach, ask me probing questions, one by one, to uncover any deep-seated beliefs I have about business, success, or my own abilities. After each response, help me analyze how these beliefs might be holding me back and suggest ways I can reframe them to support my growth and success, before asking the next question. The goal is to break my mental barriers with your guidance.”
Even if you haven’t spotted your unique talents, other people have. They have given you feedback, left comments on your posts, or told you the difference your advice made. But you probably ignored them, or played it down with a humble retort. When people pay you a compliment, listen. If you’re helping multiple people make a specific difference, you have a unique skill. You can’t ignore frequency. They are the skills to leverage in your work. They are the ones that will grow your business. Turn feedback into action with this prompt.
“I want to better understand and leverage my unique talents. I sometimes receive compliments or positive feedback on: [describe what you are often complimented on]. Can you help me unpack this feedback to identify the underlying skills or strengths? Then, suggest ways I can lean into these talents more effectively in my business to drive growth and success.”
This step works in three parts. First, find your success system. Unpack a previous win to learn the exact process that led to the victory. Understand every component and why it played to your strengths. Next, define this system. Turn the learnings from past experience into a blueprint that’s unique to you. After that, apply the success system going forward. Take a goal you have right now and apply your success system to each component part. Leverage the motivation factors behind everything you do to make more progress with less effort for every new challenge.
“Let’s develop my personal success system in three parts. Acting as a business performance coach, first, ask me to describe a past success and guide me through analyzing that experience to understand the process and strengths that led to the victory. Then, help me define this success system by turning those learnings into a structured blueprint. Finally, apply this system to a current goal of mine [describe your current goal]. Prompt me to break down this goal and suggest how I can apply my success system to each component for effective and efficient progress.”
Your road to the top will probably be bumpy. Not only will there be unexpected twists and turns along the way, but bystanders will try to obstruct your path. Strangers will chuck insults in your direction, friends will make fun, and acquaintances will offer well-meaning advice about not getting above your station. Your progress in business is directly related to how well you can ignore everyone else. How well you can plough on with conviction despite the anxious, fearful and envious people around. Ignore the haters, tolerate the critics and block the trolls, or crumble under the weight of their words and never reach your full capability. The choice is yours. Use ChatGPT to get hardened to naysayers and continue to rise to the top.
“I’m looking to strengthen my resilience against negativity and criticism as I grow my business. Create a 5-question quiz where you present scenarios, one at a time, where I encounter naysayers. In each scenario, present an insult or negative comment related to my business, from the context previously provided. Following each scenario, provide me with three options for how to respond, and ask me to select one. Once I have selected an answer, analyze my response and tell me if I’m correct. (The correct answer is to ignore the comment and move on, emphasizing the importance of focusing on my goals and not getting sidetracked by negativity. The only exception should be when receiving critique from individuals in my target audience, where I should listen and consider their feedback in a non-defensive manner.) This quiz will help me practice dealing with detractors effectively while staying focused on my business growth.”
People take themselves far too seriously and entrepreneurs are no different. They obsess over every little detail of something that doesn’t matter, they worry about what people might say or think, and they don’t move forward for fear of failure, even though their inaction makes the failure more likely. Don’t let that be you. Hold a frank discussion with ChatGPT where you explain your fears and they help you get over them. This isn’t about pandering to your fleeting emotions, it’s about getting perspective and not holding yourself back. Use ChatGPT as the tough mentor that everyone needs.
“I understand the importance of facing my fears head-on, but sometimes I find myself held back by them. Here, I’ll openly share my fears related to a specific goal I’m pursuing. My goal is [insert your specific goal here]. The fears I have regarding this goal include [list your fears here]. I’m seeking straightforward, no-nonsense advice. I need a tough mentor who can help me see past these fears and not let them hinder my progress. Acting as a tough mentor, give me the blunt feedback and perspective I need to move forward and not let my own apprehensions be the cause of my downfall.”
