Often enough your client may need a transcript for a long video or workshop. Not everyone needs or wants a transcript, and it does cost a lot to produce transcripts for everything. In the past we've had AI driven transcripts, but they too have been untidy and it requires a lot of tidying up. However, Chat GPT is different. Learn how to use Chat GPT and YouTube to create a superb, accurate and very context-driven transcript for just about anything.

All of us cringe at the thought of getting feedback. Yet, we all need feedback to improve. There are formulas for feedback but they don't work as well as they should. However, this method of balance is tricky. We can't praise people all the time, and we can't say what we really think. Is there a way out? Yes there is, if you use this method of balance by Randall Stutman from Admired Leadership. His method works so well, you could give feedback all day and people will ask for more.

There are times when you need to introduce yourself, such as for a personal website, social media profile, or professional bio. That's where you and I often get stuck. We were told not to keep praising ourselves and yet without listing our achievements, how are we supposed to create an aura of expertise? The answer is simpler than you think. All you need to do is add a touch of surprise and your blurb becomes super cool. Find out how in this episode.

When we start writing, we know we're hopeless. However, in time, we all get to the stage where we're average. What does it take to become outstanding, and then an absolute maestro in writing? The answer doesn't lie in "practice, practice, practice". Instead, it's something as mundane as a combination of "structure" and "confidence". But even as you try to get better, your brain won't let you progress. Why does all of this happen and how you get out of this rut? Let's find out in this episode.

What if you ran into clients that have never heard of you? And what if they've never heard of your products or services? Would they still buy from you?   It seems highly implausible, even impossible that you'd get a client interested. And yet, the reality can be remarkably different. A business philosophy can turn a client around and make them interested in you, after hearing just a single line.  Let's find out how.   Next Step: Here are three fun podcasts Psychotactics Philosophy The Crazy Philosophy Of Psychotactics (And Why It May Help You In Your Business)The Philosophy of Psychotactics—Part 2  

It's more than likely that you've tried to create uniqueness before. Yet, it seems a bit of a pain, because it sounds so trite. Well, how about we look at uniqueness from a "construction" point of view. Instead of just trying to dream up the uniqueness, how about we look at it with "guardrails" so that we hit the target every time? Let's give it a shot because one—or two of these methods—will certainly work for you. More on Uniqueness:  Why Being Contrarian Creates A Stunning Uniqueness Factor In Business

When a client buys a product, what goes through their mind? Often you'll notice they have a similar product, so why do they buy again? There are four reasons why your client (and you and I) keep searching for products. And no matter how saturated the market seems, clients will keep searching. This is good news for you, because if you give them what they want, they'll keep coming back. It seems irrational, but it's perfectly rational. Let's find out why this behaviour exists.

AI has sent a chill down the spines of many of those who create content for a living. Won't so much content saturate the market? And why would a client choose your work when some other work can easily be put together by AI? The reason why you needn't worry, is because people have not changed much. They still make their decisions based on specific logic. Let's see how you, me—we all make decisions.

The reasons why learning is so slow isn't always apparent, but it usually comes down to a factor of trust—and control. Find out how trust and control become crucial elements in learning as well as teaching.

We all know the little things that recharge our batteries. For most of us, a walk in a real forest would calm us down and give us that much needed energy. Yet, as we go about our every day lives, there seems to be no way to slow down. If anything, we're told to speed up. Here's a solid case for why that walk into that forest is so needed and how to recalibrate your energy once again.

If you haven't already heard the news on the street, you soon will. AI is going to take away all our jobs as writers. Anyone can create a course in minutes, write an article like a pro, or generate thousands of outstanding headlines. Is this just a rumour or is this our dystopian future? Here's a slightly sane answer from New Zealand.

Even if you have a workable metaphor, how do you use the metaphor in your article?   The key is to go backwards and find the one word or one idea that you want to convey. Almost magically, the word seems to fit the metaphor. Not convinced? Listen to this podcast and find out how to go about this relatively-easy task.   Next Step: Here are—Three Unknown Secrets of Riveting Storytelling    

You'd think you would need to have some scintillating stories to write a metaphor. Or worse still, you'd believe it's a skill that only some people have and can never be learned. Well, you know what they say, right? The proof of the pudding is in the eating. And the proof of writing metaphors isn't in some fancy story, but rather the mundane activities in our everyday life. Ready to go on a metaphor trip that's fun? Well, here we go.

The myth that is perpetuated is that you just need to sit at your computer and get an endless number of clients.  The reality is the face-to-face connection is far superior. This is why musicians, politicians, et cetera hit the road. Face-to-face – even with the smallest audience is extremely powerful. Here’s how you go about it. ________________________________________ Next Up: Why List Building Fails (And How To Avoid The Almost Obvious Failure)
