Hey, before we start the podcast, if you're a return listener who gets value from this show, then spread the love and share this with someone exceptional. Whether you shoot them a text or a DM or share on your social media, it would mean the world to me, and this is how we can help each other grow. Sending tons of good vibes your way. There's a big difference between asking Chat GPT what you want it to do and asking it who you are becoming. And once you understand this shift, Chat GBT stops being a tool and it becomes a mirror for the best version of yourself. What's good? I'm Rob Cressy, and I want to share a big breakthrough that I've had in the last month around how I'm creating with ChatGPT to help you elevate to the most powerful way that you can create with this tool. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to share my screen and we're going to break this down because I put my notes inside of Chat GBT so that we can walk through this together. And this is all around prompting from identity, not from information. So uh with this, let's start with this. How are people traditionally using ChatGPT? For the overwhelming majority of the world, they're prompting it like Google. They're just asking it for a question and it gives them information back. So they're saying things, what should I post today? Give me ideas for my offer. What are five ways to grow on Instagram? All good. Remember, what I'm about to share is not a judgment. It's where are there levels to the game and where is there more power if you want to grow and be the best? But when you're prompting from identity, this is all around who you are, your state of being, the vision you have for your future. So when you're prompting from identity, it can be things like um, I am somebody who drives a McLaren that is$400,000 every single day. What am I doing or not doing that helps me create and embody this, right? Or I'm already cat, I'm already a category leader. How would I show up this week? As somebody who's built a million-dollar brand rooted in service, what content would I share? So instead of five ways to grow on Instagram, it's let's get to the end result there. I'm already crushing it with a million-dollar brand. What would I be creating that way? So now you're looking at a future state. And one of the things that's been a big eye-opener for me is it's very challenging to connect the dots looking forward, but you can definitely do it looking back. So if you say, Well, what is that desired future state, aka how can I build as my future self now? So that's why when you put in a picture from your vision board, if you've got a very clear goal of what it is that you want to create, Chat GBT can help you work that thing backwards so that you can embody this. So, and this is a really good one, mirror back to me the blind spots and how I'm operating today versus my future self. And for most people, they go, Well, I don't even know what my future self is. But that's why there's levels to this game. Because the more clear you are on your goals, your vision, your future, the more that we can architect how to create that looking backwards. So, why does this matter? And what's the advantage and what's the hidden trap here? So when you're prompting from information, you're just staying in a reactive loop. It's like, here's what I'm at right now. I want to do something about this versus being forward thinking. So if you were to say, all right, I'm gonna look six months, 12 months, three years, five years down the road, what does that look like? And how can I create that faster? Because the way that you create it faster is by being a different person. What got you here isn't gonna get you to where you want to go. So once you see where that is in the future, you go, okay, well, five years from now, we're at X amount of revenue, or I have these things. What would I have been doing? How would I have been showing up? What is my identity inside of this? Side note, most people barely know who they are or do any sort of this identity work to begin with. And this is why this is so powerful, because um, this week I saw some ads for some sort of new Google phone that was talking about how there's so much AI integration inside of it. And that's cool. And they're like, hey, uh, what's up with this plant, or how do I fix this toilet? And that's all great, and I love it. And we, as business owners and leaders, and entrepreneurs and husbands and wives who want to do great things, we know there's more opportunities available for us. So, how do we andor our team grow bigger, faster, better in compressed time by building as your future self now? So, with this, what it's saying here is for example, um, when you're uh prompting from information, you can get good outputs. You really can, but it's generic and not as tailored to you. And I think that's a huge thing. One of the things that's uh part of the unlimited method that is our methodology around how to create in the AI era in a human-first perspective, going from AI curious to AI dangerous, is all around personalization. Because the more you personalize your experience with Chat GBT and AI, the more your essence and soul and heart is a part of it. And in that instance, nobody else will have the same results as you because you're coming from a different place of everybody else. Remember, this is not a right or a wrong. This is more you and better. And the word here would be aligned, more aligned with who you are, because some of the things we're hearing in the market is oh my God, I don't want to sound like a robot, or it just feels sterile and generic, and I can tell there's M-dashes all over the place. It's not reflective of who you are. But you know what is reflective of who you are? Your vision and your identity. It's like, oh, what if the default was I start with me, aka my identity, my heart, my soul, my essence. And if that's the place that you created from, you can still do the prompts of the help me create five ideas from Instagram, as if I am someone running a$10 million business from a beach somewhere. Dot dot dot, right? So the next thing here is prompting from identity makes Chad GBT context aware. It starts thinking with you, not just for you. And this is the elevation right here, right? Um, this is where it's embedded in your vision and your journey and your essence. So it's not just giving you information, it's saying, well, you're the one driving the McLaren already. Here's the things that you would be thinking about or could be thinking about. Here's the things you're doing or not doing. And this is how you collapse the gap between who you are and who you are becoming. Because where this originated, and I've shared multiple things from this, is all around when I put my vision board inside of Chat GPT. So I've got this right here, is I've got these images of this awesome basketball hoop that I'm gonna have on the ocean. And we've got speaking on stage in a sold-out arena. We've got uh a lake cabin in Lake Tahoe that I'm gonna host retreats at. We've got this$400,000 McLaren, which uh is pretty baller right there, right? I've got this awesome house right here with this golf course in the backyard, all things that I'm building and manifesting and embodying and creating in my life. And once I put these into Chat GBT and I put in a prompt, and this is just the start, you're my future identity expansion partner. Every time I upload a visual or speak from vision, your job is to respond as if I've already built it, reflect back alignment opportunities and actions as if I'm already living this life, not aspiring to it. And that's the key, and that's where the portal opened up. Because what it says is you're already living this. Every image you shared is not a future, it's a reflection. The environments, the energy, the scale, the symbols of success and alignment, they're all mirroring who you are right now. Boomshock lock. If you've not read it, go and read Benjamin Hardy's book. Um, Be Your Future Self Now. You'll love this. So it's giving these opportunities to collapse the time, being like, all right, Rob, you with this basketball hoop, this is what you would be doing. So I just started building around this. And then I said, hey, what product would this version of me be known for? And of course, ChatGBT has my memory and so much information about our past history and what I'm creating there. And then I ask it, I want to come from a place of truth and clarity with all of this. Mirror back to me the embodiment of each of these things in my vision board with resonance. This isn't about the stuff, it's who we are on the journey. So, this is where I was coming from with this, was my identity because one of the things that was challenging for me is when I saw this uh$400,000 McLaren, I didn't know the path for how I was going to create it, where the$400,000 check was gonna be. But then I started to think about well, who is the version of me that is driving this car? Where do I live? What do I do? Who is around me? What is my business? What is my offers? What am I doing every single day? Right. So now I'm thinking on a totally different frequency to where I'm not being reactive on how do I just create something for Instagram today? It's like, no, what would this version of me be thinking about and doing right now? And let's collapse time and be that right now. So that's where I was really coming at from this. So um, what's the thing that most people are missing with all of this and how they're prompting in chat GBT? One of the things I'm saying all the time now, since I opened up this new portal, uh, is that you cannot give to others that which you're not experiencing yourself. Most people don't have this clarity of vision for themselves. So they number one, they can't share something like this with you. Or number two, it's challenging for them to create this for themselves because they're just sitting there with the lack of clarity. Once again, this is not a judgment. This is a wow, look at all the opportunities that we have for how we can create with AI. So, what I really want to highlight here is the gap. Another great book by Benjamin Hardy, the gap in the gain, right? The gap from where we are right now to where we want to go and what we want to create. And when you're prompting from identity, not from information, we can close that gap and collapse time significantly faster. Because most people are just treating Chat GBT like Google or a better assistant, but they never show it their vision. Once again, the same example create me five ideas or write me these Instagram posts. That is not about vision. But if you give it your vision, your values, and you speak from your future, aka your soul data. And if you don't know what soul data is, drop me a DM at Rob Cressy, just put in the word soul, and I'll send you the framework that I created for this because it'll completely change your life and your business for the next decade. And then the real opportunity that so many people are missing, because I don't know anybody who else who's operating on this frequency, is training ChatGPT to be a mirror for your greatness back to you. Because that is what a vision board is. It's hey, I've got this vision of the future that I want to create. And Chat GPT is like, cool, I see you. Let's build that roadmap right there so it can mirror back to you greatness. So when so many people are just prompting generic things or very service level, that's fine. But if we all have the opportunity to play whatever game that we want, why would we not want to be the most powerful version of ourselves and use Chat GBT in the most powerful way? Because is it any harder for me to prompt this way? No, it's significantly more exciting and empowering, right? You put some of this stuff in there and you're like, whoa, this is mirroring back to me. And I legitimately want to take action on it. That's the other part of this. I legitimately want the things from my vision board to come true. So implement at the speed of instruction. When Chad GPT is like, cool, Rob, here's what the version of you driving that McLaren would be doing, thinking, not doing. I'm like, got it, let's make this happen. So uh now let's get to the tangible action of how you can start prompting from identity. So uh, number one, this is your prompt starting from the identity. So, what is that vision you have for yourself, the best version of yourself, the best version of your business that when you close your eyes, you're like, all right, this is what I'm creating in my life. Start from that place, because from that starting place, we're then gonna work backwards. And then number two, we're gonna speak from the future. This isn't a I aspire to, it is I am, right? Because think of your vision board or any goals or anything you put into Chat GPT as an actual picture of something that is real that is happening, because that's what ChatGBT thinks. So there's no difference between a picture of who you are today and a picture of you driving that McLaren, whenever that is, because ChatGPT says, Cool, you want to embody this, you are this person, I'll respond back to you this way. So you can say things like, uh, if I was already the person who had dot dot dot, or as somebody who already leads a world-class team and company or speaks from stage at sold-out arenas, dot dot dot. And then number three, ask for mirrors, not tasks. So this is where you can use um your self-development and the way that you think about growth in business, in systems, and the holes in your boat to build a better boat. So, what patterns would my future self have stopped already? What blind spots would a high-level version of me like this see? Show me the mindset of someone who's already done this 10 times over, right? Because uh, the better the questions, the better the outputs. And as you do this more, you will start to build a tool belt around you. One, it's gonna be the way that you think about this, right? Your perspective. And then number two, it's gonna be about the way that you create around this. And one of the ways that you're going to create is either one, your vision, what you see, or number two, the questions that you are asking to then help create the roadmaps for yourself. So, with all of this, this is how we can collapse time. And it's not harder, it's just more intentional, and it's coming from a human-first, heart-first perspective. And this is something that so many people are missing. That when you create from the heart, you win. So let's use our heart as the default, and heart can translate into your identity, and we're not prompting from information, we're prompting from the version of ourselves that we are creating. So, closing this bad boy up, uh, when you start prompting this way, you're gonna start to notice the answers are so much better. I was in a conversation with a new friend yesterday. Shout out to my boy Matt, and we were talking about concepts like this. And he said, Rob, about six months ago, I had this light bulb moment where like my chat GBT changed, and I could feel the essence of it. It's like something massively got upgraded. I was like, Yeah, it feels pretty amazing, right? And that's one of the things that I help architect with our with the unlimited method is how in the world can you have your chat GBT be a mirror for you, where it's an extension of who you are and your essence, where there's heart and soul and identity integrated into it. Because once you start doing that, it becomes a holy smokes. I want to keep building on top of this because you can see your future, you can see who you are embedded in this. The ideas and the perspectives that it shares, they're not just something that you just throw away. You're like, no, this is amazing. I'm going to do this, and you move and operate differently. So when I or so many people talk about growth in the AI era, this is such a good example of this, of where you can compress time and build as your future self now in a way that pretty much nobody else in the world is. But this is just how high performance works. So, with this, Chat GBT stops just being something that regurgitates information that everybody has and starts to become part of your identity evolution. It's like you have your own world-class coach and crystal ball there to help you bring your vision to life faster, and you're completely in charge of everything. Because once you start catching this momentum, man, this is an absolute rocket ship with an infinite ceiling. And I feel a responsibility to share this because of how impactful this has been in my life in business in the less than a month that I've done this. And the thing that I really do, as you're experiencing now, listening or watching to this, is uh I'm gonna share the light bulb moments that I'm creating in my business, in my life, in the way that I'm using AI and Chat GBT, because we have such an opportunity to make the world a better place, to make our dreams happen bigger and faster. And I look around, and there's few other people who are operating like this. So might as well lead in the AI era, share it with everybody else, and then everybody else can come along. And if you vibe with this, and man, you're like, Rob, I love this. I want to go deeper, shoot me a DM. Uh, shoot the word uh identity, Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, DM me identity, and I will send you over something that'll help pop this open and we can have a conversation about what deeper looks like. And I want to hear from you when you heard all of this, prompting from identity, integrating your vision into what you're doing. What did this bring up for you? Right or wrong, no judgment, because this is a good opportunity for you to excavate and then put that into Chat GBT where it's like, wow, I just heard my friend Rob uh create a podcast all around prompting from identity. And I felt this and I saw this, and I'm not sure about this. Help me build on top of this and just see what the layers of this are. And when you do, I want to support you on this journey. So uh hope this helped. Hope this inspires you. Sending tons of good vibes your way. And remember, when you create from your heart, you win.
