Transcript:
00:01:09.000 –> 00:01:41.000
Bella Vasta: Welcome back to another episode of Bella in your business. I am looking forward to this episode because it is going to be absolutely jam packed with mindset shifts. One of the things that happens with AI in our business um, is that you have to understand that it’s not Like a software that you learn how to use like clickup or power pet sitter, or well, they’re not around anymore, or um time to pet or precise right? It’s not like
00:01:41.000 –> 00:01:48.000
Bella Vasta: Something that is, one dimensional. AI is something that is completely changing daily
00:01:48.000 –> 00:02:13.000
Bella Vasta: Daily, Weekly, monthly, and um! There’s a lot of like Shifts that I want you to think about. I know that it’s been all over the place lately, and I know that you can’t go 5 min without hearing about it. I also know that a lot of you feel like, Oh, I know how to use AI, because I’ve used it, but you’re only using it like 5% of its of its true potential. And so
00:02:13.000 –> 00:02:36.000
Bella Vasta: Or you’re in the camp where you’re completely avoiding it because you’re intimidated or you get frustrated, or you feel like it’s inauthentic and something, you know, like Success. Isn’t that easy? Right? I mean, literally, AI is cutting down my work time and my clients that I’m working with by 70%
00:02:36.000 –> 00:02:39.000
Bella Vasta: You guys Let me just put this in perspective for you.
00:02:39.000 –> 00:02:49.000
Bella Vasta: As a business coach, is it in my best interest For something that would take, let’s say, 10 sessions to do with someone, to only take 3 sessions
00:02:49.000 –> 00:02:57.000
Bella Vasta: No, it’s not. But you know what I I accepted the fact that we have this paradigm shift. The information
00:02:57.000 –> 00:03:17.000
Bella Vasta: Knowledge isn’t the commodity anymore. We are past All of that. It’s like we had this explosion of blogs and information and content right? And it has nothing to do with that anymore. The way we are moving has nothing to do with that. It is literally the difference between blockbuster and getting a Vhs
00:03:17.000 –> 00:03:22.000
Bella Vasta: And streaming something in your House.
00:03:22.000 –> 00:03:30.000
Bella Vasta: Okay. So let’s jump in and talk about these mindset shifts. And hopefully, by the end of this, you’re gonna actually Start thinking like ah
00:03:30.000 –> 00:03:43.000
Bella Vasta: I get it, Bella, like something clicked I cannot express to you how important it is to understand it from a cognitive standpoint before you actually get into AI
00:03:43.000 –> 00:04:02.000
Bella Vasta: And I also cannot like express to you enough that AI is not just Chat Gpt. That there are so many horses in this race, and that there are so many different avenues of creating video, creating pictures, creating headshots of yourself, creating um
00:04:02.000 –> 00:04:30.000
Bella Vasta: A video clone, creating a voice clone, creating complete audios. That sounds like interviews. There’s so much to it. And before you even get there. The very basic understanding is exactly this podcast today. So listen, I’m going to tell you, it’s not about people versus process anymore. Let’s talk about like the fundamental shift from the very Ground level, and then we’re going to work up into it.
00:04:30.000 –> 00:04:35.000
Bella Vasta: For years. Whenever anyone had a problem They would be like
00:04:35.000 –> 00:05:04.000
Bella Vasta: So is it a people problem, or is it a process problem? I mean Okay, cool. So like, do you have the wrong people? Are they not doing the right thing? Are they just bad for the position, or is it a process that the process wasn’t clearly defined, that the process is defunct, that the process isn’t streamlined as much right. That was basically what we would come to. But in this new AI era we need to start thinking a lot differently.
00:05:04.000 –> 00:05:29.000
Bella Vasta: The new question is, is it an information problem or an instruction problem? Did you give AI enough information for it to understand the full 360 degree view of your problem, or did you not give it the right instruction of exactly what you wanted? Were you articulate enough That my friends takes this
00:05:29.000 –> 00:05:43.000
Bella Vasta: This your brain to another level. No longer is it just punching in one d. And then you get back. Whatever it is, you’re literally feeding it. The information you want and telling it what you want to get back Software. You can’t do that.
00:05:43.000 –> 00:06:07.000
Bella Vasta: Software just gives you what it’s programmed to do. Do you understand? And the important thing is is that AI is also not here to be polite with it. It’s not a person with feelings. It’s here to be used and challenged and stretched. And when you start thinking about AI this way, you’re going to get dramatically better results. You can’t break it. Okay.
00:06:07.000 –> 00:06:21.000
Bella Vasta: So the shift number one is you can’t say no to it. You can say no to it. Rather sorry. Um! The 1st major mind shift is that You can, and you should say no. When you don’t get what you need
00:06:21.000 –> 00:06:55.000
Bella Vasta: Okay, you’re not going to hurt its feelings, I promise it doesn’t have any, at least not right now. A little joke. There, if what it gives you isn’t right. Say so. And don’t just settle for mediocre outputs. I think a lot of us have been conditioned to be people pleasers and be like, Okay, thanks. And then you take that. And then you’re like, I’m going to adapt it. I’m going to spend time. I’m going to rewrite it If you’re doing that with AI, you’re doing it wrong. You’re creating more work for yourself. Okay? And so
00:06:55.000 –> 00:07:01.000
Bella Vasta: I mean, like, if someone didn’t follow your instructions like a new pet sitter, would you be like Well.
00:07:01.000 –> 00:07:19.000
Bella Vasta: I guess that’s good enough No, you wouldn’t. You would give them feedback and tell them how to do it differently. Right? So things like this isn’t good enough. Try again with these changes, or I don’t like the tone of this, make it sound more conversational and less corporate. Or maybe this is too generic
00:07:19.000 –> 00:07:24.000
Bella Vasta: You know, I need specific examples. Exactly to like a pet sitting
00:07:24.000 –> 00:07:29.000
Bella Vasta: Uh uh Customer right. Don’t be afraid to be direct
00:07:29.000 –> 00:07:44.000
Bella Vasta: The AI doesn’t mind, and your results will be so much better. And it’ll start learning you, too. Okay. And when you treat it as a tool that needs direction rather than authority to be obeyed. The next one number 2 is, I want you to challenge it
00:07:44.000 –> 00:08:05.000
Bella Vasta: Building on the 1st shift, mind shift. The second mind shift is learning directly to challenge it when it gives you something. Ask, this is my favorite one. Is that the best you can do Like, literally, it’s amazing. So seriously like you can really type that. And it’ll often give you a more thoughtful, detailed, creative response.
00:08:05.000 –> 00:08:31.000
Bella Vasta: Now, if you have Chat Gpt, you could even go into deep research where it really starts Kind of thinking with itself and like testing itself against itself. It’s fascinating. And just about every single model out there also has what we call a reasoning model. All right. You are in a collaboration with AI, which is why the people that say, Oh, AI is too generic
00:08:31.000 –> 00:08:59.000
Bella Vasta: And it’s taking over the world. And you know it’s not authentic. They’re not in a collaboration with AI. They’re just Whatever AI gives them, they’re posting. And then they’re like, Oh, this is, this isn’t right. That’s the wrong mindset. Okay, you use your tone and feedback to push it harder, just like you would with like a coach or a team member. You could say things like, Let’s dig deeper on this point, or I need more concrete examples here, or this is good, but I think we can make it great
00:08:59.000 –> 00:09:22.000
Bella Vasta: Let’s let’s revise this section of what you wrote. Right? So when you challenge AI in this way, you’re essentially teaching it to match your standards, and it’s going to remember it. Okay, you’re training your own model, all right. You’re not training the model for the general world. You’re training the one that you’re using Shift number 3. I did a whole entire podcast episode on this
00:09:22.000 –> 00:09:39.000
Bella Vasta: It is not Google. Okay, this is a big one. Y’all, you need to stop thinking of AI as a Google like search engine. And they’re because they’re fundamentally different tools. Okay, I barely even use Google anymore. Google is essentially 2D
00:09:39.000 –> 00:09:48.000
Bella Vasta: Your type in a You type, in a query, and it gives you a list of results. And then you Have to do all the hard work
00:09:48.000 –> 00:10:01.000
Bella Vasta: You have to sift through the websites You have to sort what’s relevant and then evaluate what’s trustworthy, and then assemble the pieces, use cognitive reasoning and thinking
00:10:01.000 –> 00:10:11.000
Bella Vasta: To produce it, to make it relate to whatever it is that you’re trying to figure out The task at hand. Okay, there’s a lot of like
00:10:11.000 –> 00:10:16.000
Bella Vasta: Assumptions, and like Like molding together that you need to do
00:10:16.000 –> 00:10:20.000
Bella Vasta: So let me give you a practical example. Let’s say you’re planning meals Um
00:10:21.000 –> 00:10:30.000
Bella Vasta: 4 clients, pet, while they’re away for a week or yourself right With Google, you’d probably search something like healthy, homemade meals
00:10:30.000 –> 00:10:49.000
Bella Vasta: And maybe protein based right? I’m sure you’ve probably even done this, and you probably get about 40 different Like places to look through, and then you have to figure out which ones meet your needs. And you would have to figure out, okay, well, I don’t like this, and I don’t like that. And you’d have to like, really do a lot of work
00:10:49.000 –> 00:11:01.000
Bella Vasta: And what it essentially does is give you another problem. Because now you have information paralysis, because you have too many, like too many options. Well, what you could do with AI is you could be like yo
00:11:01.000 –> 00:11:04.000
Bella Vasta: I want. Oh, um!
00:11:05.000 –> 00:11:11.000
Bella Vasta: 6. Dish. I want 6 dishes that are high protein, low carb, high, healthy fats.
00:11:11.000 –> 00:11:32.000
Bella Vasta: And um that I can construct As I want them. So like I want to cook like, you know, some, maybe turkey uh, and then I want to cook some. I don’t know rice or potatoes, and then I want to cook up some like steak and chicken, and maybe some like Fajita mix, or something like that, right
00:11:33.000 –> 00:11:46.000
Bella Vasta: And so that you know you can go into the refrigerator, and you take a little bit of this, and you take a little bit of that, and you put some like Greek yogurt on it, and all of a sudden you have, like a deconstructed burrito, or like a Taco salad bowl, or something like that, right? But like
00:11:46.000 –> 00:11:59.000
Bella Vasta: At the end of the day you’re burnt out. You’re stressed out. You have no more like space in your head to think about this stuff And so when you can literally tell this to AI, and it gives it back to you
00:11:59.000 –> 00:12:13.000
Bella Vasta: It’s amazing. And then you could take it a step further. And you could say, Okay, I like number one through 3 and 6 and 9 Based off of those numbers. Can you make me a grocery list
00:12:13.000 –> 00:12:16.000
Bella Vasta: There’s your grocery list What?
00:12:16.000 –> 00:12:19.000
Bella Vasta: That’s amazing. And
00:12:20.000 –> 00:12:31.000
Bella Vasta: If you really want to take it a step further You can have operator if you pay for it. Uh, go and get it all on your Instacart, and then have your Instacart deliver it to your house. I did that last week. Yeah.
00:12:31.000 –> 00:12:48.000
Bella Vasta: I’m not going to go that far, though, because I know that that’s probably like way advanced right now. But that is possible. Okay. And that is going to be that essentially right there. What I was doing, what I just explained to you is part of what agents are gonna be
00:12:48.000 –> 00:13:08.000
Bella Vasta: And by this time next year people are going to be using agents. It’s not gonna be chat, gpt. It’s not going to be at this level. But for you to understand AI at this level It’s only going to help you as it advances. Okay, there’s so many things I could tell you right now, but I’m going to stay on my notes here. Number 4 is, use it to think
00:13:08.000 –> 00:13:19.000
Bella Vasta: With you. All right. There’s a paradigm shift. Okay, Google can’t think Google just like goes out there and fetches whatever sounds right, and just puts it in front of you.
00:13:19.000 –> 00:13:31.000
Bella Vasta: AI can think with you. It can have a conversation with you all right, and Your brain. You can brainstorm with AI just like you would a business Bestie. I can’t even I do this multiple times a week
00:13:31.000 –> 00:13:48.000
Bella Vasta: You get a tricky client situation trying to come up with a new service, offering need to decide how to price something. You can talk these challenges through with AI. The most powerful approaches say, act as a type of I don’t know um
00:13:48.000 –> 00:13:55.000
Bella Vasta: Branding expert right? And then blah blah So like you tell it how to act.
00:13:55.000 –> 00:14:03.000
Bella Vasta: This prompt gets you specialized feedback from that perspective Another example, act as a financial advisor for pet businesses
00:14:03.000 –> 00:14:17.000
Bella Vasta: Help me think of the pros and cons of offering premium service tier You could get even more crazy, and you could download your financials, and you could put that you can upload it into your chat. Gpt, I would recommend
00:14:17.000 –> 00:14:22.000
Bella Vasta: Having your chat gpt Um, the privacy turned off for the world
00:14:22.000 –> 00:14:29.000
Bella Vasta: So that it’s not using it to learn the model. And it just stays with you. Cause that’s Really personal information, right
00:14:29.000 –> 00:14:37.000
Bella Vasta: You could do, act as a marketing expert for a pet business. Give me ideas for promoting Uh for promoting services. Um
00:14:37.000 –> 00:14:46.000
Bella Vasta: And during a slow season The AI role can play these different types of experts, giving you insights that might not
00:14:46.000 –> 00:14:55.000
Bella Vasta: You might not have considered on your own. Okay, it’s like, literally like having a whole team of experts at your fingertips. Now, guys. I own a marketing agency
00:14:55.000 –> 00:14:58.000
Bella Vasta: Okay. I’m a business coach
00:14:58.000 –> 00:15:07.000
Bella Vasta: Don’t you think that, like I went through? This is about a year ago. Oh, my gosh! What’s going to happen to my job? No, because you know what my job is devolving
00:15:07.000 –> 00:15:23.000
Bella Vasta: You guys can all go get whatever kind of information you want off a chat Gpt or any AI model, for that matter. But what Where I come in and where my profession comes in, is being able to to understand what the strategy should be.
00:15:23.000 –> 00:15:28.000
Bella Vasta: And to guide that So AI is always going to give you answers
00:15:28.000 –> 00:15:47.000
Bella Vasta: But what I’m going to do is I’m going to give you the strategy Okay? And so, like, I’ve created a bellow marketing voice where any of my vas can go on and use it. And I’m telling you most of this stuff you can’t tell. It’s not me, all right. I could. I’ve created my own models, my own gpts and stuff
00:15:47.000 –> 00:16:12.000
Bella Vasta: For so many things. All right. Number 6, it’s evolving faster than you are. Okay. So your our mindsets are usually like we have a software. And the software comes out and we learn how to use it. And that’s it. And maybe they come up with updates 3, 6 months, right? It’s like little updates, like. For example, at the time of this recording canva just came out with updates. Okay, but Canva is
00:16:12.000 –> 00:16:16.000
Bella Vasta: Incorporating AI into into it. And
00:16:17.000 –> 00:16:20.000
Bella Vasta: When you have AI!
00:16:20.000 –> 00:16:39.000
Bella Vasta: It is literally evolving faster than we are. It’s not like you learn it. And then you’ve learned it. This is something that’s constantly evolving. That means it’s constantly changing and growing. And another thing is like it’s never going to be as dumb as it is today. Okay, tomorrow. It’s gonna be smarter than it is today.
00:16:39.000 –> 00:16:45.000
Bella Vasta: Today it’s smarter than it was in January of 2025 It’s just it’s it’s
00:16:45.000 –> 00:17:01.000
Bella Vasta: Nothing else in our time has ever been like this, ever. Okay. It means that any limitations that you might have encountered in the past are probably solved When this 1st came out we had an AI expert come into the mastermind. This was
00:17:01.000 –> 00:17:14.000
Bella Vasta: I’m telling you, jumpers do it differently. We were way ahead of the time we had the founder of Magi, which is a really great software. You can get all the Ll models under one roof I highly suggest you check it out
00:17:14.000 –> 00:17:29.000
Bella Vasta: Especially if you’re just getting your feet wet. And you’re trying to figure it out for $20 a month, actually, 30% off. If you go through me um, you can get All the language models the image models like it’s insane
00:17:29.000 –> 00:17:39.000
Bella Vasta: Um, and you go to jump consulting.net forward, slash MAGA. IMAG. A. I Kind of like magic. But Magi
00:17:39.000 –> 00:17:43.000
Bella Vasta: And um And it’s as it’s
00:17:43.000 –> 00:17:50.000
Bella Vasta: It’s absolutely amazing. So it’s the more you use it the better it understands you and your specific needs
00:17:50.000 –> 00:18:01.000
Bella Vasta: It’s learning, your preferences, your style, your industry, your unique requirements, your tone. What words! You use, all of it! And you could also train it on it Here’s a pro tip.
00:18:01.000 –> 00:18:19.000
Bella Vasta: Feed AI personality, assessments, or information about who you are and how you think You can literally tell it. I’m a high energy, fast paced entrepreneur who values creativity and directness. I run a pet sitting company with 15 employees. When you give me advice, keep it actionable and specific to my industry.
00:18:20.000 –> 00:18:39.000
Bella Vasta: Then you could take your Myers-briggs, or your strength finders, or your Enneagram, or whatever it might be, and also upload that, and so that it understands your personality because it’s going to tailor the answers back to you in ways that motivate you and excite you and isn’t just generic. The mindset shift here is seeing AI as
00:18:39.000 –> 00:18:42.000
Bella Vasta: Um A static tool
00:18:42.000 –> 00:18:53.000
Bella Vasta: To seeing it to rapidly evolving, and it can get better every single day. All right, number 7. You can’t break it You cannot break. AI. Okay.
00:18:53.000 –> 00:19:16.000
Bella Vasta: The people that are afraid of doing it wrong. They worry about breaking it or using incorrectly. Here’s the shift you need to make. AI is a sandbox, not a landmine. Okay, you can’t break it. You can’t mess it up permanently. You can’t do any lasting damage by sandbox. It means that the sand can shift and move. It’s not like the sand is going to be like And like outside of the sandbox, you see what I’m saying
00:19:16.000 –> 00:19:20.000
Bella Vasta: This gives you the freedom to experiment. Try stuff.
00:19:20.000 –> 00:19:32.000
Bella Vasta: Test different approaches. Iterate on your prompts. Get messy with your requests. There are no coincidence consequences for doing it wrong. Okay? Because there’s no wrong way to use that
00:19:32.000 –> 00:19:38.000
Bella Vasta: Ask it to create charts for you. If you’re a visual person. Have it, simplify, complex.
00:19:39.000 –> 00:19:47.000
Bella Vasta: Like um concepts, you know. Explain this to me like I was 5 years old. Tell it to restructure information for clarity.
00:19:47.000 –> 00:19:59.000
Bella Vasta: See if it can help you design and add or visualize a new service, offering The worst thing that happens is you get a result you don’t like, and then you get to try again with a different approach, and you get to practice
00:19:59.000 –> 00:20:03.000
Bella Vasta: It. Accentuating what it is that you want
00:20:03.000 –> 00:20:07.000
Bella Vasta: All right. Number 8. Talk to it like a person
00:20:07.000 –> 00:20:12.000
Bella Vasta: All right. The 8th mindset shift is about how you communicate with AI
00:20:12.000 –> 00:20:25.000
Bella Vasta: Stop thinking of it as a computer program and start treating it more like a conversational partner. You can give it rules for how you want to interact. For example, you might say. Don’t respond until I say your turn.
00:20:25.000 –> 00:20:35.000
Bella Vasta: That’s what I’ve told Susie many times. And if you guys are in the mastermind, you’ve already heard this and know this when I do the talking. Back and forth. Where we have conversations.
00:20:35.000 –> 00:20:45.000
Bella Vasta: Um! When I would pause to think about something. Sometimes she would start talking So I made a rule, and I said, Do not talk until I say your turn
00:20:45.000 –> 00:20:58.000
Bella Vasta: And so that’s what I say, and then she’ll start talking, and when she’s done she’ll say your turn back to me, too. Alright, or you could say, like, What do you think about this approach, or I’m not sure about that suggestion. Can we explore other ideas
00:20:58.000 –> 00:21:02.000
Bella Vasta: Let’s build on that. What if we added this Or
00:21:02.000 –> 00:21:15.000
Bella Vasta: Why is this a good idea? You literally can talk to it, and I think the more that you do it in your personal life, and for personal things that come up the more confident you get in business.
00:21:16.000 –> 00:21:24.000
Bella Vasta: Now, this is probably one of the biggest shifts that I want you to understand. Okay. Biggest one.
00:21:24.000 –> 00:21:32.000
Bella Vasta: It will drastically change the results That you get from AI based off of this next mindset shift
00:21:32.000 –> 00:21:36.000
Bella Vasta: And that is talk Talk to it. Do not
00:21:36.000 –> 00:21:39.000
Bella Vasta: Type. If you start typing
00:21:39.000 –> 00:21:56.000
Bella Vasta: What happens is your brain goes slower. You start working on perfection. You start, you know, checking with the grammarly little red underlines. You start fixing your spelling and your punctuation and your grammar. It doesn’t care about any of that It understands all kinds of typos.
00:21:56.000 –> 00:22:02.000
Bella Vasta: Trust me. Okay. And what you want to do is you just want to talk to it all right. Typing slows you down
00:22:02.000 –> 00:22:09.000
Bella Vasta: It like, invites the perfectionism, it kills creativity You end up editing everything.
00:22:09.000 –> 00:22:27.000
Bella Vasta: But talking is messy, and it’s raw, and it’s more authentic. Your brilliance is often in the rambles in the brainstorm. Those streams of consciousness, moments where your ideas are flowing naturally Most AI tools have voice.
00:22:27.000 –> 00:22:38.000
Bella Vasta: Input options Use them. Speak your prompts, your ideas, your questions. You’ll be amazed at how much you can express, and how better your results will be when you do that
00:22:39.000 –> 00:22:57.000
Bella Vasta: This is especially important for people that are on the go. I’ll tell you almost every single morning. I have something I’m thinking of, and I’m sure you are too right. You have something that you’re thinking of, that you have to do today. You have to email someone back, you have to send someone an email you have to post on social about something
00:22:58.000 –> 00:23:02.000
Bella Vasta: Why not just talk. To your AI,
00:23:02.000 –> 00:23:12.000
Bella Vasta: While you’re Washing your face while you’re doing your hair while you’re putting on makeup while you’re getting dressed while you’re making breakfast. While you’re feeding the dog
00:23:12.000 –> 00:23:22.000
Bella Vasta: Why not? Hey? You know what I need to put a post today, and it’s got to be about this. And I and I want the the reader to feel this way
00:23:22.000 –> 00:23:33.000
Bella Vasta: And talk to it. And you don’t even have to read the response. Oftentimes I like spout out a whole bunch of stuff, and I’ll start a couple of threads that by the time I get to my sit down at my desk
00:23:33.000 –> 00:23:37.000
Bella Vasta: When I come to my computer, I know it’s already there. It’s amazing.
00:23:38.000 –> 00:23:46.000
Bella Vasta: This is a major shift If you’re still typing into AI, and you’re still saying, Hey, can you change this email to sound nicer
00:23:46.000 –> 00:23:49.000
Bella Vasta: You’re missing the boat That’s like.
00:23:49.000 –> 00:23:53.000
Bella Vasta: Pre-k Okay, it’s like, preschool
00:23:54.000 –> 00:23:56.000
Bella Vasta: All right. Um. I have
00:23:56.000 –> 00:24:03.000
Bella Vasta: Like thur 13. So I’ve got 3 more for you. Treat it like a skill.
00:24:03.000 –> 00:24:05.000
Bella Vasta: Not Magic.
00:24:05.000 –> 00:24:24.000
Bella Vasta: All right. Many people approach AI with unrealistic expectations. They think that it’s magic that they should get perfect results instantly The mind shift. Shift here is recognizing that using AI effectively is a skill that you develop over time and practice. All right. It’s not a magical solution that just
00:24:25.000 –> 00:24:44.000
Bella Vasta: You know, reads your brain yet, just like any other skill in your business, whether it’s training staff Or marketing your services or managing client relationships, you get better with practice. Your 1st attempts might be clumsy. Okay, it might be messy. You might make mistakes, but you and you will get frustrated
00:24:44.000 –> 00:24:50.000
Bella Vasta: But that’s normal. Okay. Don’t expect genius results right away.
00:24:50.000 –> 00:24:57.000
Bella Vasta: Instead, focus on iterating, learning and improving prompts Each interaction is an opportunity to get better at this skill
00:24:57.000 –> 00:25:10.000
Bella Vasta: The pet business owners who Master AI won’t be the ones who got lucky and performed prompts From day one they’ll be the ones that practice consistently learn from their mistakes and kept improving
00:25:10.000 –> 00:25:20.000
Bella Vasta: Shift number 11, Save your prompts like templates. Now I am more of um, I think prompts were like the 1st thing, and prompts are very like
00:25:20.000 –> 00:25:36.000
Bella Vasta: Kindergarten level. I’m not knocking it. It’s a great place to start. But then you graduate from prompts to an actual Gpt to an actual bot that you can create, which I have a class on. Okay. But I’m gonna keep this like very easy
00:25:36.000 –> 00:25:54.000
Bella Vasta: For so that everyone can access this and understand this. So once you get good results with certain things, the next mindset is thinking about those prompts as valuable assets when you get a killer result from AI, what I usually say is okay. That was amazing.
00:25:54.000 –> 00:26:08.000
Bella Vasta: If I wanted to prompt you to do that again, what would I say And it creates the prompt for me. And then I take that, and I save that into my notepad. Okay, these prompts are actually things that can help you make a um
00:26:09.000 –> 00:26:16.000
Bella Vasta: A. Gpt, eventually, okay. Number 12, use it to solve boring problems. First, st
00:26:17.000 –> 00:26:39.000
Bella Vasta: Many business owners try to make the mistake of using AI for the most complex high stake challenges right away I want you to start off with things that are easy, because it’s going to get that muscle to be flexed. And you’re going to start understanding how to use it. It’s going to be good practice. So let it handle things like standard operating procedures. Okay, there’s no reason why every single person should not have sops right now.
00:26:39.000 –> 00:26:53.000
Bella Vasta: Email templates, meeting recaps, formatting documents, basic research Once you trust AI with the lower stake tasks, you’re going to gain confidence and be able to use it easier for bigger things
00:26:54.000 –> 00:27:02.000
Bella Vasta: And the last one I want to tell you about for this This this fine, this mindset shift is emotional regulation still
00:27:02.000 –> 00:27:07.000
Bella Vasta: Matters. Well, you might not be able to offend it. Okay.
00:27:07.000 –> 00:27:29.000
Bella Vasta: You don’t want to always turn to your AI when you’re panicked, overwhelmed, desperate, or expecting miracles. Okay, if you’re emotionally dysregulated, you won’t be able to give clear instructions or evaluate responses effectively. So that whole age, old thing like, you know, like calm down before you talk to somebody Because you don’t want to be in some emotional rage
00:27:29.000 –> 00:27:39.000
Bella Vasta: It’s the same thing like Input equals output. If your input is a scattered emotional train wreck, then that’s what you’re going to get coming back
00:27:39.000 –> 00:27:44.000
Bella Vasta: So if you find yourself spiraling or overwhelmed, pause Take a breath.
00:27:44.000 –> 00:27:50.000
Bella Vasta: Get into a calmer state before engaging with AI or Don’t use it for business at that point.
00:27:51.000 –> 00:27:56.000
Bella Vasta: Open up another thread, use it as personal, and say, this is what I’m dealing with. To do.
00:27:57.000 –> 00:28:00.000
Bella Vasta: And you know what I’ve totally done that before
00:28:00.000 –> 00:28:07.000
Bella Vasta: You’d be surprised Um. And so I just you need to understand where you’re at when you’re giving
00:28:07.000 –> 00:28:12.000
Bella Vasta: Those instructions. And information. Remember, I talked about that at the beginning of this
00:28:12.000 –> 00:28:13.000
Bella Vasta: Okay. So.
00:28:13.000 –> 00:28:21.000
Bella Vasta: I just want to say to kind of like, put a bow on this. You’re not behind You’re just untrained. In fact.
00:28:21.000 –> 00:28:28.000
Bella Vasta: If you’re listening to this episode, and you are even attempting AI You are probably 90%
00:28:29.000 –> 00:28:41.000
Bella Vasta: Ahead of most of the world Most of the world has no idea what is happening right now, and it’s my job and my duty to help educate you and guide you and take you along through it, and show you how to make your business
00:28:41.000 –> 00:28:48.000
Bella Vasta: 70% less work That’s what, on average, what’s happening when I’m doing my intensives with my business owners
00:28:48.000 –> 00:29:01.000
Bella Vasta: Things that would take An hour are taking like 30, or I’m sorry. And let’s see, like an hour is taking like, 20 min or so. Okay, it is insane, how much it is cutting down
00:29:01.000 –> 00:29:08.000
Bella Vasta: All right. Using AI effectively. It’s not about keeping up with technology. It’s about understanding
00:29:08.000 –> 00:29:21.000
Bella Vasta: The fundamental way to use it, because, if you understand it, and it is a paradigm shift Then you’re going to be able to adapt and grow and have the permission almost to go play
00:29:21.000 –> 00:29:30.000
Bella Vasta: I’ve actually really felt like AI is one of the most creative things I’ve ever used in my life. It is more than
00:29:30.000 –> 00:29:40.000
Bella Vasta: Coloring. It is more than drawing, it is more than Dancing. It is. It’s accessing this create. You have to be creative with it.
00:29:40.000 –> 00:29:50.000
Bella Vasta: And it’s not just analytical. It’s really unlocking this like childlike play for a lot of people. And um So I hope these minds
00:29:50.000 –> 00:29:59.000
Bella Vasta: Set shifts have helped I am really curious to know which one kind of really struck you, or you were like. Oh, that’s interesting, please

00:30:27.000 –> 00:30:41.000
Bella Vasta: To go hang out with your family to go cook meals. When you don’t have to spend your days making a hundred decisions, and you could make 30 decisions that frees up your brain to make other decisions. Maybe in your personal life.
00:30:41.000 –> 00:30:52.000
Bella Vasta: Maybe that’s to go get a 10 min workout or to To go cook yourself a healthy meal or a meal plan, so that it’s in your fridge. Okay? Maybe it’s just
00:30:52.000 –> 00:31:07.000
