In my last post, I shared some of my top AI tools! Today, I am going to be sharing the rest of my rest AI recommendations - apps I have used to totally transform my business! 🙌

😎 ChatGPT for YouTube - For YouTube, ChatGPT for YouTube is a huge time-saver if you want a video’s key points and transcription without having to watch the entire thing.

😎 Answer the Public - Answer the Public is a brilliant tool for market research. It helps you discover the questions your target audience is asking about your product or service, making it easier to create relevant content.

AI tools to transform your business!

Over the next few weeks, I am going to be sharing the best AI tool recommendations that have totally transformed my business!

🙌 Gamma.ap - I highly recommend Gamma.app for presentations and slide decks. You can even create an entire slide deck directly from a prompt - no need to write the content yourself. It generates the deck in about 30 seconds, which is incredibly efficient. Or you can copy your text in. (Co-pilot also does this but not as well in my opinion!)

🙌 ChatGPT - For blogs, emails etc. I use ChatGPT for voice-to-text and then ask it to rewrite the content properly in my style, removing all the ums and ahs. It’s 100% AI-undetectable and works seamlessly! I also use it to write professional proposals, track my health and about a million other things! (Also a great tool for tips on how to deal with difficult team members!) ​

Why do I procrastinate? How can I stop?

17/6/2024

Procrastination is common. In fact, many of my clients arrived with their email inbox overflowing and their desks piled high (literally and figuratively!). 

In my experience, leaders that do not keep their focus aligned with their goals are more likely to get lost in work that can be easily delegated, or in tasks that are irrelevant. I would also say that emotional overflow, such as stress or tiredness, as well as not trusting our teams are also common reasons why procrastination takes over!

So, how can you stop procrastinating❓

As a business leader, do you really understand the value of outsourcing?

18/3/2024

0 Comments

 
Over the past few years, you may have heard the term “outsourcing” being used more and more, but some leaders are not really aware of the difference it can make. Many organisations, especially smaller ones, assume that outsourcing it only for the big corporates.

Outsourcing is very similar to delegating… Ultimately, it’s getting someone else who is better suited and skilled at a certain task to complete it, rather than you! (Usually in half the time!)

What is the difference between outsourcing and delegating?

The truth is, very little! The only major difference is that outsourcing means to ask a professional outside of the business to undertake the task.

For example…

Do you want to be more productive?

Do you ever have non-stop days where you're busy all day, but at the end of it, you feel like you haven't actually accomplished anything? That's the difference between activity 😥 and productivity 🤩!

Activity is running around all day, doing a million things, but not really getting anything done. I liken it to a day of troubleshooting or ‘firefighting’…

Productivity is actually getting things done, even if it's just one or two things, and feeling accomplished as you wind up for the day

Are you REALLY using the power of goal setting to your advantage?

18/2/2024

0 Comments

 
We all know we should set goals, right? But you’d be surprised how many organisations just don’t set clear goals!

Goal setting isn't just a buzzword – it's at the core of success for organisations and businesses across the world! In the dynamic landscape of business, setting clear and achievable goals isn't just beneficial… It's essential for growth and sustainability.

For any business or organisation, trying to grow without defined goals is a bit like sailing without a compass! Goals offer direction, focus, and a framework for decision-making – essential components for steering you towards success...

Taking on Other People's Priorities

29/6/2023

How much of your working day is controlled by OPP? If you run a business, organisation, team or family, then I'd guess that most of it is!

So what is OPP I hear you ask? 🙋

OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIORITIES! 😀

Managing your workload when also trying to manage OPP can feel pretty impossible and extremely stressful...
