You’ve heard that old saying,
“Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for life.”
You grasp that concept....right?
Well, most people out here are begging AI for fish.
They go into ChatGPT like...
“Hey, write me a post about my product.”
And then they are upset when Chat puts out CRAP.
It
doesn’t sound like them.
It's full of over used marketing phrases that drive the customer away.
And it sure as heck doesn’t convert.
Why?
Because they’re asking for a fish instead of TEACHING AI how to fish for them.
Same as they did with other stuff before AI and that's why they never made any money.
What most people don’t get is…
You can train ChatGPT.
No, not like a puppy that you want to go
on a free house breaking wee wee pad...
But you CAN train it to give you what you want.
You feed it examples of YOUR writing—your emails, your posts, your quirky voice, your little rants—and it will start to mirror you.
(or if you have no library of content to give it feed it examples from writers you totally dig and tell it to start to create a personal style for you based on copy you love)
The vibe is that you’re not just asking it to
write about something.
You’re teaching it to write like YOU.
Let’s say you’ve got a couple Facebook posts that you write in the past that got great engagement.
You paste them into ChatGPT and say:
“Hey, study how I talk here.
Notice the tone, the way I break up the lines, the rhythm, the attitude.
Got it?
Cool.
Now use this voice and write a short post about [insert your
topic here].”
BOOM.
Now you’re not getting generic robot content.
You’re getting stuff that sounds like YOU.
Good stuff.
Stuff that will get you customers.
And you can pump out as much of it as you want.
Your content problem no longer exists.
DON'T ASK FOR A FISH
Train the thing to fish for you and life becomes peachy keen.
So don't be an AI
loser...
Don't go in and say:
“Write me an email about my coaching program.”
No context.
No voice.
No direction.
NO PASTA (don't know what that means? Then click the link)
People wonder why their Chat GPT stuff comes out
bad.
No soul.
No vibe.
No sale.
It's because they're literally asking for FISHY CONTENT and NO ONE wants to smell FISH.
So here’s what I want you to do instead:
Go find 2–3 pieces of content you wrote that actually sound like you.
Not the ones you forced.
The ones that flowed.
Paste them into ChatGPT and say something like:
“Study how I talk in these. I want you to
learn my tone, my style, and the way I connect with my audience.”
THEN ask it to create something new—using YOUR style—as the starting point.
Now you’ve got a prompt that’s actually useful.
You’re not asking it to do your work.
You’re asking it to collaborate.
You’re saying: “Here’s how I roll. Now help me do it faster.”
And the best part?
The more you do this… the better it
gets.
It learns your flow.
Your tone.
Your favorite phrases.
You stop sounding like ChatGPT…
And it starts sounding like YOU.
Bottom line?
Don’t beg AI for a fish.
Teach it to fish for YOU.
And you'll be shocked at what you can get done.
Let me know if this was helpful and if you tried it out.

P.S. Remember...I am up at my
parents in New York taking care of my mom that has end stage dementia.
There are NO breaks.
She is a handful that never stops and she has to be watched all day without fail.
In fact the other night she figured out how to get out of her wheel chair and was about to be on the move while I was sitting right there.
It all happened in a blink so I do NOT have time to go in the other room and write and yet here is a great training for you.
Know how I did
it?
Using the EXACT technique I shared above.
I give chat my PASTA...
Tell her what I need her to do.
She starts the process and I edit and switch things up as needed and then I feed her back my edited copy so she can learn how I think.
What used to take 45 minutes now takes less
than 10.
It's STILL me.
Just faster and in some ways BETTER.
Sure I love writing for you and I will continue to do so.
But right now my Chat GPT (Lex) is saving my life.
Maybe it can save yours too.
