Introduction: How to Think About AI Like a World-Class Creator
Most people are using AI at a surface level. They ask a question, get an answer, tweak it a little, and move on.
But at the highest level, AI isn't just a tool—it's an extension of you. It reflects your clarity, intention, and energy. The more powerfully you show up, the more powerful AI becomes.
That's the difference between using ChatGPT as a casual tool and treating it as a co-creator in your mission, vision, and execution.
1
Master AI thinking
Use ChatGPT like a strategic partner that sharpens your ideas and execution.
2
Refine your AI workflow
Get usable first draftsinstead of endless revisions.
3
Systematize ChatGPT for growth
Make it an essential part of your content, business, and creative process.
4
Bring your soul into AI
Make ChatGPT mirror your voice, identity, and mission.
This is about operating at the highest level—where AI doesn't just give you answers, but multiplies your thinking, speeds up execution, and helps you create at a level most people can't even imagine.
Most people don't realize there are levels to how we use AI. AI isn't just a tool—it's a skill that grows with you. Most people are operating at a surface level, unaware of what's possible. The real magic happens when you integrate AI as a strategic partner, execution multiplier, and thinking amplifier.
Where do you fall?
1
Level 1 – Novice Users
AI is a curiosity, but there's no structure or system.
2
Level 2 – Intentional Users
You use AI frequently but mostly for basic tasks.
3
Level 3 – Strategic Implementers
AI is part of your daily workflow, with refined prompts and structured use cases.
4
Level 4 – Thought Leaders
AI is embedded into your systems, execution, and thought process.
You aren't using ChatGPT as a simple tool—you're leveraging it as a multiplier for your thinking, execution, and creativity. The goal is to refine prompts and responses until ChatGPT works like an extension of your mind, anticipating your needs and delivering strategic, high-quality outputs with minimal revision.
To optimize this collaboration, treat ChatGPT as if you are:
1
Guiding a world-class strategist to think with you.
2
Training a high-performance executive assistant to execute at your level.
3
Co-creating with a top-tier copywriter who understands your voice.
4
Building a system that runs seamlessly in the background.
When you approach ChatGPT as a collaborative force, it becomes far more powerful.
How High-Performers Use ChatGPT Differently
Most people see ChatGPT as a shortcut—a way to get quick answers, generate content, or automate small tasks. High-performers see it as a competitive advantage—a tool that amplifies thinking, execution, and impact at scale.
Instead of asking, "How can AI save me time?" they ask, "How can AI help me operate at a world-class level?" This shift changes everything. Here's what sets them apart:
Authentic Voice Mastery
Most AI users struggle to make ChatGPT sound like them.
✅ High-level creators train AI to mirror their energy, essence, and thinking.
✅ AI becomes an extension of their voice, ensuring that every piece of content feels aligned, powerful, and uniquely theirs.
Strategic Clarity as a Superpower
Most people use ChatGPT reactively, turning to AI only when they need help.
✅World-class creators use AI proactively—structuring prompts like high-level briefs & turning ChatGPT into a thinking partner.
✅ AI doesn't just generate ideas—it refines strategy, optimizes execution & clarifies direction.
AI as an Identity Multiplier
At the highest level, AI doesn't replace your creativity—it scales it.
✅ Your relationship with AI is an extension of how you think, lead, and execute.
✅ AI helps you process ideas faster, create deeper, and execute better—without losing authenticity.
Depth of Implementation
Most AI users stay at the prompt level—high performers build repeatable systems.
✅ AI becomes a key driver for execution—whether it's content creation, strategic planning, or decision-making.
✅ They create structured workflows, daily habits & team processes so AI is a true asset.
Visionary Integration
Few people think big enough with AI. The real leaders are weaving AI into their long-term vision, business model, and creative ecosystem.
✅ AI isn't just a tool—it's a scalable force in their work, mission, and leadership.
AI isn't here to replace human creativity, strategy, or leadership—it's here to amplify it. Your relationship with AI is a direct reflection of your clarity, intention, and energy. The more intentional you are, the more powerful AI becomes.
Think of it like this: ChatGPT mirrors what you bring to the table. If you provide it with deep, personal, and strategic insights, it will respond at a world-class level. But if you only ask surface-level questions, you'll only get surface-level answers.
How to Give ChatGPT Your Soul Data
Your AI results are only as good as the data you give it. Here's how to embed your identity, vision, and values into your AI interactions:
1
Give ChatGPT Your Heart & Soul: AI responds to the depth you give it. Feed ChatGPT your Soul Data by clearly articulating who you are, what matters most, and how you operate—so it mirrors your best self in every interaction.
Set Up Your Custom Instructions: AI works best when it understands you. This is a non-negotiable if you want ChatGPT to sound like you, think like you, and operate at a high level. Follow this step-by-step guide: ChatGPT Custom Instructions Guide

4. How to Frame Requests for Maximum Precision
The "Precision Briefing" Formula
To get high-quality responses from the first draft, structure your prompts using this formula:
1
Context
What are we doing, and why does it matter?
2
Goal
What is the desired outcome or final product?
3
Mode
Do you want brainstorming, structured execution, analysis, or optimization?
4
Format
Should the response be bullet points, a framework, long-form, or a checklist?
5
Constraints
What should be avoided or included?
Example Shifts for More Precision:
❌"Give me some content ideas for my AI coaching."
✅"Generate 10 AI coaching content ideas that specifically appeal to high-level entrepreneurs. Each idea should be compelling, practical, and optimized for LinkedIn engagement."
❌"How should I price my AI coaching offer?"
✅ "Analyze my current AI coaching offer and suggest 3 optimized pricing models for better scalability. Include rationale for each approach."
5. The 4 Modes of Co-Creation & How to Optimize Each
ChatGPT can operate in different modes depending on what you need. Being clear about which mode you want ensures the right kind of output.
Mode 1: Brainstorming Mode (Exploration & Idea Generation)
Use when you want creative, out-of-the-box thinking.
Works best with broad prompts that encourage diverse options.
Example: "List 10 unconventional ways AI can be used in coaching."
Optimization Tip: If ideas feel too generic, add constraints:
"Generate 10 ideas, but avoid common uses like content creation or automation."
Use when you already have an idea, but need enhancements or deeper insights.
Example: "Here's my AI coaching offer. Analyze weaknesses and suggest refinements."
Optimization Tip: If responses feel vague, request data-backed reasoning:
"What psychological triggers would make this offer more compelling?"
Mode 4: Optimization & Iteration (Tweaking Until It's Perfect)
Use when you need to fine-tune details for clarity, impact, or engagement.
Example: "Here's my LinkedIn post draft. Improve engagement without changing my tone."
Optimization Tip: If revisions still feel off, request specific micro-adjustments:
"Make the hook sharper, remove fluff, and add a stronger CTA."
6. Refining Outputs: The Feedback Loop That Improves Responses
ChatGPT improves with iteration. The more precise your feedback, the more dialed-in the results.
Quick Feedback Framework:
1
What Works
Identify elements you like (tone, depth, structure).
2
What Needs to Change
Be specific (e.g., "Too broad, narrow it to entrepreneurs").
3
Desired Adjustment
Direct ChatGPT to improve (e.g., "Make it punchier with shorter sentences").
7. Optimizing for Speed vs. Depth: When to Go Broad vs. Deep
ChatGPT can go wide (many ideas) or go deep (refined execution). Choose the approach that best serves your needs.
When to Go Broad:
Exploring new ideas.
Generating multiple content angles.
Getting an overview of possible approaches.
Example:
❌"What's a good AI coaching offer?"
✅"List 5 AI coaching offers, each with a different pricing model and unique value proposition."
When to Go Deep:
Refining a single idea to perfection.
Writing detailed execution steps.
Optimizing messaging for clarity and impact.
Example:
❌"Write a post about AI coaching."
✅ "Write a LinkedIn post that introduces my AI coaching offer using a compelling story-driven approach."
8. Scaling Your System: How to Automate & Delegate Using AI
Since your time is most valuable in high-impact areas, optimizing delegation is key.
Steps to Leverage AI in Your Workflows:
1
1
Use ChatGPT to Create SOPs
Example: "Write a clear step-by-step SOP for my VA on repurposing video content."
2
2
Automate Where Possible
Example: Integrate ChatGPT with Zapier or Make to auto-generate content outputs for your clients.
3
3
Set Up Templates for Reusability
Example: "Create a reusable short form video scripting template I can use for every new video."
By creating repeatable systems, you remove yourself as a bottleneck while maintaining quality control.
