Do you ever wish you could just talk to your future self and say, give me some advice? Well, if you're an entrepreneur, business owner like me, you've probably spent a lifetime talking to your future self, trying to become that person who is bent reality into who they want to be. And now with AI, I actually figured out a really cool way to create your future self that you can talk to and get advice and make it actually feel real. My name is Brad Costanzo. Been running businesses for about 30 years and trying to bend reality to what I want it to become. And that means stepping up my game and trying to be a different person, a better person. And until now I've had to always just do this with visualization. But I also own an AI company and I consult on how to use AI for creativity, for productivity, and more. And one day I wondered if I could train my own chatgpt on who I've been and extract my stories, my personality, and then inject who I want to be, who I'm trying to become, so that I could then train ChatGPT to talk to me as if it is my future self, has my personality, has some of my knowledge, and this was the key for me, is to teach it to talk to me in the past tense when it's giving me advice. So for instance, instead of me just asking, hey, what should I do in this situation, business or personal, and having it bark orders, it says, I remember when we faced that Brad. Here's what we did. That little psychological hacked, I call it future memory simulation has been really a game changer for me and for all the other people that I've shared this with. So I put together a very simple set of instructions. You can get it right inside your chatgpt. Takes about 20, maybe 30 minutes to set up and you can have this thing running with no other fees. It's not another software program that you have to download or install. You can use it right inside your own AI tools that you know and love. It's $10 and the price is going up pretty soon.
And I got so many folks who have just sent me the best stories about how it's truly changed the way that they are approaching their life and their business. Saving them a lot of money on human coaches too. Not that I think it is a perfect replacement for that, but it's a lot cheaper. So if you want to try it, click the link and try it out.
