"There are 100 million ways I could take this...and they all feel wrong."

This is what I wrote to start my journaling session this morning. I found myself feeling lost, but—as I've done many times—by the end of my session, I had an answer.

So, I want to share how I got un-lost because I think it could really help you if you're feeling the same way.

Lately, I've been working really hard to figure out exactly what Six-Figure Writer, now called Six-Figure Writer's Playbook, is about. Seemingly, every day I'm changing my mind or thinking of other ways I can add value to the group (to you).

While this is great because it means I'm not just half-assing it, it's also, at times, crippling.

If nothing is right, then how do you move forward?

The main problem I've been facing is my own confidence.

"Do I actually know what I'm talking about?" "Should I even be doing this?"

Some might call it imposter syndrome. Whatever you want to call it, it sucks.

As I was journaling, though, I had a breakthrough. I asked myself, "If this were my client saying these things to me, what advice would I give them?"

First, I'd tell them to start with what they KNOW. Then, I'd tell them to "Share that."

Duh.

Now, since AI is one of my favorite collaboration tools in the world, I knew what to do next. I pulled up ChatGPT and put in this prompt:

"Okay, I think I just had a breakthrough moment. I have been struggling to understand how to provide a ton of value through Six-Figure Writer's Playbook. I want it to be awesome. But, that added pressure is actually crippling me from moving forward.

So, I asked myself this question: 'What advice would I give to a client in my situation?' And my answer was to '1. Start with what you know and 2. Share that.' So, I want to simply focus on using this platform to share the things that I know.

Can you ask me a series of questions to help me learn what my unique skills are so that I can focus on those things and build them into the SKool community?"

(end of prompt)

It immediately spit out a bunch of questions that I answered one by one until I felt better about my skills, what I bring to my clients, and where I should take SFW's Playbook.

From 100 million ways to 1—and while it may not be 100% right, at least it no longer feels wrong.

If you feel stuck or you aren't sure what unique skills you bring, pull up ChatGPT and make it interview you. No one else will see it, and the conversation stays between the two of you.

It worked for me.
