How to use AI to get a business started fast and really put yourself in a position where you can go from being unknown, not started to being and having a business in place that can make you money. Now making this particular video for people out there that have wanted to start a business. Maybe you are currently in a place.
Where you want to get started, or maybe you’ve started, you scratch the surface of a little bit, but you’re finding, you keep getting stuck. Maybe procrastination is coming in. You’re in a place where you feel like you’re out of time, but maybe you’re fed up of being fed up and sick and tired of your job or working in the current place that you’re working in, and you just want to get a business started fast.
We’re gonna talk to you about some of the ways that you can do that. So in order to start a business, what do you really need? What do you actually need to put in place? Well, you need to know who is it that you are gonna serve. So if you are watching this right now, I want you to dial in and focus, because I’m talking exactly to you about how you get this business started.
And this could be the most important video you ever watch to take you over. A few of those hurdles, get you running and get you going faster. So the first thing you’re gonna look at when you start the business is who you serve. So really what you want to be using AI for key is this your little mini system, right?
It’s gonna be the genie in the pocket and the sort of tools that you want to consider really at this stage is the main one, which is chat, G p T. So you look at chat, G P T. And you go into chat, g b T, you start having a conversation with it. I would recommend that this stage you go and get access to chat G B T, which you can go to open ai, but more importantly, I would go onto the iTunes app.
If you’ve got an Apple phone, the Android app. And I would get the app on your phone. I’m using this app on my phone all the time. It’s great for business owners that have been business forever and it’s amazing for business owners that just started and explained to you why once you got the app, it is worth, in my expert opinion, doing the quick upgrade.
So you spend a little bit of money, a little bit of an investment, and you’re gonna be a business owner. Gotta get used to investing, right? And literally just invest a small amount of money. You need to get unlimited prompts because you’re gonna need it, and this is gonna help you to get started and get started fast.
Now you’ve got that app on your phone. You wanna really start asking chat, the g p T about your marketplace. Who is the ideal person to buy this product or service that I’m considering? Because right now, if you’re watching this at your beginning, you’ve got an idea about what you want to do, but you just might not have put the pieces together and you feel like you’re trying to connect the dots, but you don’t know how and chat G p t can really come in and help you do that.
So the first thing’s like, you know, who is the ideal person to buy this product? Then you want to ask it questions like, what is this person’s biggest? Fears, what is this person’s biggest desires? So you know, really what are the things that they’re afraid of? What are the things that they want to achieve?
You then wanna start asking chat, G p T, this person, what type of thing would really help them get quick results? How would it help them put themselves in a different position so they could use this product or service to improve their life? And now you’ve got a dialogue going around your target market, which is amazing.
Now if we know who we want to serve, It really allows us to build a product or service that can help that person. So now we want to start looking at building a product or service, because if you wanna start a business, you need a product or service. You need to know who you serve. You need to know what you’re gonna offer those people and what result it’s gonna get ’em.
And then you need to make ’em an offer exactly what we are talking about right now, so we know who we serve. We then start having a conversation that says, right, hey, I want to build a product for, you know, mums. Uh, they’ve got two, two children in their phase. That’s our target market, right? And now we’ve got that conversation going, you know, what would a good product name be that would really resonate with mums with two children in their thirties?
And then chatGPT. How to use AI to get a business started fast and really put yourself in a position where you can go from being unknown, not started to being and having a business in place that can make you money. Now making this particular video for people out there that have wanted to start a business. Maybe you are currently in a place.
Where you want to get started, or maybe you’ve started, you scratch the surface of a little bit, but you’re finding, you keep getting stuck. Maybe procrastination is coming in.

Now you’ve got that app on your phone. You wanna really start asking chat, the g p T about your marketplace. Who is the ideal person to buy this product or service that I’m considering? Because right now, if you’re watching this at your beginning, you’ve got an idea about what you want to do, but you just might not have put the pieces together and you feel like you’re trying to connect the dots, but you don’t know how and chat G p t can really come in and help you do that.
So the first thing’s like, you know, who is the ideal person to buy this product? Then you want to ask it questions like, what is this person’s biggest? Fears, what is this person’s biggest desires? So you know, really what are the things that they’re afraid of? What are the things that they want to achieve?
[00:02:57] You then wanna start asking chat, G p T, this person, what type of thing would really help them get quick results? How would it help them put themselves in a different position so they could use this product or service to improve their life? And now you’ve got a dialogue going around your target market, which is amazing.
Now if we know who we want to serve, It really allows us to build a product or service that can help that person. So now we want to start looking at building a product or service, because if you wanna start a business, you need a product or service. You need to know who you serve. You need to know what you’re gonna offer those people and what result it’s gonna get ’em.
And then you need to make ’em an offer exactly what we are talking about right now, so we know who we serve. We then start having a conversation that says, right, hey, I want to build a product for, you know, mums. Uh, they’ve got two, two children in their phase. That’s our target market, right? And now we’ve got that conversation going, you know, what would a good product name be that would really resonate with mums with two children in their thirties?
And then chat g b t or writer. Or Jasper’s gonna start to really talk to you and give you some different ideas. Then you want to really dialogue back and cut and paste that same information back into chat G B T, and say, Hey, can you improve this? Can you make it resonate more? Can you speak more to their pain?
Can you speak more to their fear? Can you speak more to their desires? And then all of a sudden, you’re gonna start really coming up with some cool stuff. Now you’ve got some cool stuff. Um, you need to start asking questions like, how could I make this product unique? How could I make it better? And you can start doing market research around the product or service you’re considering.
You know, what is there in the market? Replace right now and instantly you’re gonna be getting responses. So now you’re going nice and quick, you’re getting ideas. You can even start to look at what price points are out there right now and different ideas, and you’re gonna get different ideas back and you’re gonna go on that journey.
So now we know who we, who we’re after we sort of are starting on the product. So these are the things that you can get help on first. Product, naming, next product, research show, market research, product research, price research. Then you can start to draw things out yourself. Because look, as good as AI is, it’s not gonna do everything.
It’s gonna be the genie in your pocket. But you’re gonna need to work with it, right? So now you start drafting things out cause you’ve got a good idea. You can now put your products, your descriptions, your marketing back in and say, can you improve this for my target market for this product? And feed it.
Now you’re feeding it, you’re getting more back. You can actually put your offer in. So now that you get to the stage where you’re gonna create an offer with a price point, put that back into G Chat, G b T and say how. Hey, how can you improve this offer? What bonuses can you give? How can you make it more attractive to people?
And then all of a sudden you’re gonna get things back and you’re improving your offer, you’re going through your process, you’re doing it faster. I’ve watched people wait years and years and years to do this stuff. And we can get this stuff done like literally within a few days and really get that business going and get it growing.
Alright, so now we’ve got to that stage. Now we want to look at what other types of AI can we look at. So one of the tools that I think is really cool is a tool called Looker. We can put links in the descriptions to these tools so you can go and check ’em out. So with Luka, that will help you make your logo.
It will make you help you make your logo really, really fast. In fact, you’ll now be able to say, this is who my target market is. This is what my product is. Make me a logo. Bang. Now we’ve got a logo made and it will make us lots of different variations. You can go and you can tweak that logo up. You can change it round.
You can play with it little bit. You can make it how you like it, and all of a sudden now you’ve got a target market, you’ve got a product, you’ve got an offer, you’ve got a logo. We can then look at. Another tool and there’s lots of different tools out. There’s a great tool called Mixo. There’s a great tool called Durable that create websites for you very quickly.
Instead of you having to go and spend three, four, 5,000 pounds on a website, you go into the ai and believe it or not, these sites will give you an outline of a website in 30 seconds. I know people that have took months, took years to build and create websites, name, get it done in 30 seconds. I mean, that is pretty incredible.
It’ll just give you the outline, but that’s enough to get you started. Then you can go and tweak it. You can make it better. You can do things with it to really start to get your target market, your product, your offer, your website, your logo ready. Now you are close to actually being in business. Now you’re gonna have to start having some conversations because, and let me tell you, I’ve been training businesses now since 16.
There’s three things that grow businesses, and I’ve made some videos previously. On my YouTube channel to talk about these. If you haven’t, go and check out my YouTube channel. Make sure you subscribe and have a look at it cuz it can really help you. The three things that grow businesses are marketing, sales, and branding.
Now, there are a reason that people don’t do these three things because all three of them marketing, sales, and branding involve rejection. And what that means is if you go and market yourself and you start having conversations, People are usually afraid that they’re gonna get rejected. If you start going out and having sales-based conversations.
People are fearful that they won’t want the products or service. If you start putting yourself out there and talking about your brand. People worried about the rejection of saying, oh, look at that person. Aren’t they going out there? They’re talking about themselves again. Et cetera, et cetera. So they really avoid these three things.
But this is important. You lean into these three things cuz this is what’s gonna put the money in your business and gonna allow you to grow and start to build and replace your job, replace your income, and make more progress, right? So you’re gonna have to market, you’re gonna have to sell, you’re gonna have to build a brand.
But the good news is this. These three things that you gotta do. I’m talking specifically to you. That person that’s been struggling to get started, these three things are now made a lot easier. So you can say, Hey, I wanna start sending out some direct messages on social media to mums in their thirties with two children.
You know, that if that was your target market for, for, for example, and I wanna speak really to them and talk to ’em about my new product I’ve created. Can you write me. 10 variations of different messages. So now you’re gonna get the AI spitting out the 10 different variations of the messages. Now you’ve got some messages that you can go out to market and start having conversations with.
And if you’re worried about the rejection, you then write anyway, right? So you’ve actually got that, that buffer in there, that you’ve got this written. Now, of course you can go more advanced and you get chatbots and you can get this stuff, but this is for entry level business owners. I’m talking to you about how to get started, so you get those variations of the messages.
You go out there, you start having conversations. All of a sudden, you know, you might send 300 messages out and you might get 10 responses. You get 10 responses. You book a call with 10 of those people, all of a sudden you got two new clients. You’ve done the whole thing in just a few weeks. You started your business and you’ve got going pretty incredible, right?
Using the power of ai. Um, now you are in a place. Where you start to get some cells in, you can start to look at some other things in your business. I’ll tell you a couple of tools that we use for photos. For example, now you might wanna work on your brand, so you want to look at maybe having some headshot done.
You have some headshot. You use a software like lens. That will cleanse straight away the photos that will have you looking fabulous. And hey, don’t we all wanna look fabulous in our photos, in our videos? And, and you can use a tool like Lens to do that. AI will automatically update you and make you look even prettier than you already are, which is pretty cool, right?
So you can use that. Now we need to have some sales-based conversations. We’ve, we, we’ve marketed right? We started to market. Um, we started to go and we started to send some direct messages that create sales-based conversations, and there’s still more work to do in these two areas. So there’s, look at the marketing, right?
Let’s start and go and start having conversations with Jasper or chat, G P t, something like that, saying, Hey, Can you write me some text messages to send out? Can you write me some emails to send out? Can you give me some ideas about YouTube videos I can make? Can you give me an idea on 10 ideas on reels I can make?
And all of a sudden these ideas are flowing. Can you write me 10, 20, 30 social media posts to cover the entire month? And it’s like B B B B B because you know your target market, because you know your product, because you know your offer. All of a sudden you’ve got 30 different pieces of content that you can put out to market and get going.
You know, yesterday. You didn’t have a social media present yesterday. You weren’t having, uh, sales based conversations. Today, you are out in the marketplace getting it going and rocking. So you got your marketing covered, you got your sales covered, you got your branding covered. You started your business.
You know who you serve. You have your product. You are ready to rock and roll. So there is a, a nice quick video for business owners that are startup stage that want to go faster, that want to go further, that want to overcome that procrastination and get themselves started quicker. Now, I hope you’ve really found this videoUseful. Uh, and if you have made sure to subscribe, cause we’re making videos like this all the time for business owners just like you that want to grow, that wanna scale, perhaps that don’t know how to.

We’ve enjoyed this video. I hope you have and I look forward to seeing you on the next one or writer. Or Jasper’s gonna start to really talk to you and give you some different ideas. Then you want to really dialogue back and cut and paste that same information back into chat G B T, and say, Hey, can you improve this? Can you make it resonate more? Can you speak more to their pain?
Can you speak more to their fear? Can you speak more to their desires? And then all of a sudden, you’re gonna start really coming up with some cool stuff. Now you’ve got some cool stuff.

You can now put your products, your descriptions, your marketing back in and say, can you improve this for my target market for this product? And feed it.
Now you’re feeding it, you’re getting more back. You can actually put your offer in.
