Oh, crap. You have a big meeting today and the school just called. Your kiddo is coming home sick. It's not a meeting you can reschedule. Maybe it's a presentation that you have been promoting for weeks. What are you gonna do if you don't have somebody else that can help out as a mom entrepreneur? This has happened to me a few times. I have a partner that works at home as well and so we have a little bit more wiggle room. It happens sometimes. And here's what you can do with ChatGPT. First, tell it what's going on. If your kiddo is home because the pipe busted at the school and so they had to send everybody home because there was no water, that's going to look different than if your kiddo's home because they're sick with a cough and stuffy nose. After you've told ChatGPT or Claude what it is that's happening, the next thing that you're going to do is ask for suggestions so it'll look something like this. I have a meeting today about this time and it's going to take this many hours. I have to be able to be at this meeting, but my kid is home sick or my kid is home from school for the day, but they're not sick. I need your help coming up with ideas on what they can be doing during that time while I'm in my meeting. Or I need ideas on how to get them prepped so that I can be in my meeting for an hour without being interrupted. So whatever it is that you want, whatever that outcome is it might be, what can I think about ahead of time will help them be as comfortable as possible. Homesick. Or it could be as entertained as possible if they're so they're not bored and coming in saying, mom, I'm bored, what do I do? And so you're going to let it know what the outcome is that you want. Once it knows the outcome, you can provide ChatGPT or Claude with more information. For example, you might say, let's say your kid is home, but they're not sick. You could say something like, they like doing these kind of activities. Whenever I have them do these other kind of activities, they get really bored and want to kind of something else. If their sibling is home with them, maybe you're going to say, I just need something that they can do where they're not going to be in each other's hair. This is going to be fun for both of them. Or I need some ideas on what they can do to get that information, you're going to go back and forth for just a minute with ChatGPT and basically say, okay, I like this idea, I don't like this idea. Here's why I like or don't like it. A few more ideas like the ones that I like, you'll walk away with some great ideas on your kiddo can do or how you can kind of things just to make it easier for them, easier for you while you're on this presentation or this meeting or whatever it is. Hey, and then while you're at it, let's go ahead and talk about the presentation. Send ChatGPT or Claude your notes and ask it for questions that your audience might have. Ask it for preconceived ideas or myths that your audience might have that you bust ahead of time or towards the beginning objections they may have. If you're making an offer at the end of that presentation, what are objections they might have? And what can you do to bridge the gap from your presentation to the actual offer in a more smooth way, compelling way, so that they're more likely to buy if it's the right fit for them? You can also ask for help clarifying. Is there anything that needs to be clarified? Anything that you need to add to that will help them understand the concepts better? Or again, yeah, help bridge the gap gap. If you're worried about a certain part of the presentation, you can even go into the mobile version, hit the little headphones that are in the bottom right, and then go back and forth with ChatGPT and have it review what you're saying and how you're saying it, and ask for suggestions on how you can say it differently. Maybe you're worried about the pitch or you're uncertain about the pitch and you want to go over that. Maybe it's the beginning, you're afraid that it sounds too boring or not hookish enough. You go back and forth with ChatGPT to have some ideas and you can actually say it out loud so you're practicing it at the same time and there you go. That's another way you can use AI as a mom entrepreneur. Talk to you soon. By the way, if we haven't met yet, my name is Brittany Long.
