I'm sure you have noticed by now that we are living in a world where we are being sold a bill of goods called "more and faster equals better."

We are being told that we can use AI to do things faster and more efficiently… but at what expense?

We are even being told that we can use it to replace our own voice and to clone ourselves on the internet.

This is a slippery slope, if you ask me.

What drives me crazy more than anything is every single time I hear somebody say,

"If you don't get up to speed with all of these new AI tools, you will be left behind."

First of all, nobody has the ability to predict the future.

So if somebody is telling you that you are going to be left behind, run for the hills. Nobody knows what the future holds. And using fear tactics like this to sell people stuff is not cool anyway.

And if sabotaging my authenticity means 'getting left behind', then leave me behind, please.

My take on who's going to be left behind is much different.

I believe, in a world where there's so much artificial content being generated, that the people who are willing to be real are going to be the last ones standing. Not to mention, they are the ones that are going to leave a real legacy.

In this episode, I go into more detail about my thoughts on this topic.

I realize it's very controversial, and I'm okay with that.

I feel like some of this stuff just needs to be said so that people aren't misled into thinking that they have to use artificial intelligence instead of doing the thinking on their own, with their own real intelligence and using their own minds, their own hearts, and their own creativity to put their work out into the world.

Just because you can use AI to write your content for you, doesn't mean you have to or that you should. You're not fooling anybody and content without any heart and soul doesn't land the same way, doesn't serve your audience the same way, and it all sounds the same- like a Wikipedia article.

If anyone was to ask me what my biggest 'secret' to success is, I would say it's that I am willing to take my time. I'm not in a rush.

I like to use my mind to create from my heart (without anything artificial thrown into the mix), because my audience is worth it and so is my voice.

Enjoy the episode and feel free to leave me your thoughts about this conversation, whether you agree with me or not.

I love you, and please remember that I'm here to help, always.

If any questions come up for you as you listen, feel free to ask them. I'm happy to answer.

Enjoy the episode!

With love and gratitude,

Amy

I hit a big milestone in my business a couple of weeks ago. Exactly 2 weeks ago actually.

It's crazy because it was a goal I've had for a while, and it's a big deal to me, and a huge honor…. and yet I couldn't find the emotional bandwidth to really celebrate it when it happened.

The day before it happened, I woke up to find out that one of my closest friends had been killed in a motorcycle accident.

He was my go-to, and he probably would have been the first person to celebrate this milestone with me.

So, when it happened and he wasn't there, it caused a big pit in my stomach, an enormous wave of grief, and I also had the happy feelings associated with the milestone all at the same time. I felt like my heart was going to explode because I wasn't sure what to feel.

The other day, my friend Robin reached out to me to congratulate me on this accomplishment. She had heard the company owners mention it on one of our masterminds.

She said,

"Have you been celebrating it? I haven't seen you talking about it anywhere."

That's when I realized I hadn't been able to give it the celebration that it deserves.

I am a huge believer in taking the time to celebrate all of our wins, big and small, along the way on our journeys… and I was not doing that. Robin's message was a wake up call for me.

My friend Gio had also reached out to me right after it happened, to congratulate me and to also ask a few questions about my journey in getting here.

Our conversation contained a lot of really good insights about the way I build my business, and a lot of the differences between the way I do it and the things I believe in that are much different than the way some others build their businesses and work toward their goals.

So, I thought I'd share some of those thoughts with you in today's episode, in case they may help someone else.

(** Warning: my approach might be a little too woo-woo for some people… so just take what you want and leave the rest.)

I love you, and please remember that I'm here to help, always.

If any questions come up for you as you listen, feel free to ask them. I'm happy to answer.

Enjoy the episode!

With love and gratitude,

Amy
