Has this ever happened to you? A brilliant idea sparks, you meticulously plan every detail, create beautiful spreadsheets, and envision the triumphant launch. Maybe you even practice a little Law of Attraction in your meditative practices each morning. But then… . The plan sits there, gathering dust, because life has gotten busy, you’ve been plagued by self-doubt, or you moved on to the next exciting concept. Sound familiar? Or maybe you’re the opposite. Maybe you’re all about action and no planning. You’re jetting off to the next hottest thing without seeing anything ripen and produce. Many business professionals fall into this trap, leaning too heavily on either the planning or the action phase. We either over-analyze and never launch, or we jump in headfirst without a strategy and quickly burn out. So, how do we bridge the gap and turn those well-laid plans (or exuberant energy) into tangible results? Ready, Set, Go Finding the balance between planning and action is crucial for success. Too much planning leads to paralysis, while too much action leads to a game of chaotic professional ping-pong, bouncing from one thing to the next. Here's how to navigate that middle ground and start experiencing real progress: 1. Define Your "Why" and Set Clear Goals: Before diving into the nitty-gritty details, revisit the core reason behind your plan. Why is this important? What do you hope to achieve? Does it fit into what you’re already doing or is it a new undertaking altogether? If it’s new, do you aim to replace or enhance what you’re currently doing? Clearly defined goals provide direction and motivation, making it easier to prioritize and stay focused. 2. Break It Down: Large, overwhelming plans are often the biggest culprits of inaction. Break your grand vision into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of "launch a new product line," think "research competitor pricing," "develop prototype," "create marketing materials." These bite-sized tasks feel less daunting and provide a sense of accomplishment as you tick them off. Building momentum is a large part of sticking with something long-term. 3. Embrace Imperfect Action: Perfection is the enemy of progress. Don't wait for everything to be flawless (or the timing to be perfect) before taking a step. Sometimes, "good enough" is better than "never done." Remember, even a small step is a step, if it aligns with your goals. That imperfect thank you note you send is better than the perfect note you never write. 4. Resist the Shiny Object Syndrome: In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get distracted by the next "big thing." Don't be a "shiny object entrepreneur." Constantly chasing fleeting trends and abandoning projects when they don't instantly go viral is a trip to Nowheresville. True success is built on consistency and perseverance. Focus on your core plan, refine it as needed, and stick with it. 5. Build Relationships, Not Transactions: Today's most successful businesses are built on strong relationships. You can't cultivate genuine connections if you're constantly flitting from one project to the next, across multiple disparate audiences, solely focused on quick wins. Invest time in building rapport with clients, partners, and even competitors. These relationships can be invaluable for support, collaboration, and long-term growth. Remember, people do business with people they know, like, and trust. 6. Review and Adjust: Your initial plan is just a starting point. Regularly review your progress, analyze what's working and what's not, and adjust your strategy accordingly. Be flexible and willing to adapt. The business landscape is constantly evolving, and your plan should too. But this is where a lot of people stumble. They confuse new projects with timely adjustments. When things get rough or boring, they think innovation means a completely new undertaking. It doesn’t have to. Sometimes innovation is making changes to how you’re currently doing something and serving your market in a new way. 7. Celebrate Small Wins: Recognizing and celebrating your accomplishments, no matter how small, is essential for maintaining momentum. It reinforces positive behavior and motivates you to keep moving forward. 8. Create Daily Habits: Following daily habits can keep you on track and accountable toward your progress. Bridging the gap between planning and action requires conscious effort and a shift in mindset. Not to mention, walking away from the idea of going viral. You still can, of course, but don’t make it your only goal. It’s too easy to get discouraged. Instead, transform your ideas into reality and achieve lasting success through these steps.

What do Han Solo (Star Wars et al), Walter White (Breaking Bad), and Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) have in common? They’re terribly flawed and we love them for it. Imperfection can also be a powerful asset for businesses when approached with the right mindset. So stop trying your best to be perfect and embrace imperfection as a way to connect with your customers. Here’s how: How to be Perfectly Imperfect You’ve probably heard the adage “finished is better than perfect” or “you can’t edit a blank page.” There’s something to be said for embracing life’s imperfections, especially in business. After all, everyone can relate, and imperfections are bound to happen. So you might as well make the best of them. There’s a popular self-help book called “How to Keep House While Drowning.” It was written by a recovering overwhelmed housewife. It’s funny and terribly relatable, especially if you do most of the housework around your home. But it’s also a book about very boring things like dishes in a sink. You can use this same “common denominator” to relate with your ideal client. Relatability It's hard to identify with a perfect business or person. When someone is busy telling us how perfect they are or only showing us the perfect side of their lives, a distance between us will arise. After all, if your life is less than perfect how do you align with someone who is only showing you the sunny side? Whether it's a fictional character, your best friend, or a business, seeing flaws makes us feel like that person or entity is going through the same things we are. This relatability can be loyalty-building when it comes to business. Transparency You can also turn mistakes into opportunities by being openly honest about your shortcomings. When you acknowledge errors and demonstrate a commitment to improvement, you actually build stronger relationships with customers. In fact, 89% of people believe a business can regain their trust if it admits to a mistake and transparently outlines steps to prevent future issues. Authenticity Companies that show their human side can gain a competitive edge. For example: Domino's Pizza ran a campaign admitting their pizza had its issues , but they were addressing them. Guess what? It increased sales. Netflix publicly apologized for a pricing mistake, demonstrating accountability (and let’s not forget their Tyson debacle—again, they apologized instead of ignoring it). Coke went back to the original and admitted the change was a terrible idea. All of these companies received kudos for their honesty (and listening to customers). Fearlessness From an employee perspective, embracing imperfection can unlock creativity by removing the paralyzing fear of failure. When businesses create an environment that accepts mistakes as part of the learning process, employees feel more comfortable: - Experimenting with new ideas - Taking calculated risks - Thinking outside traditional boundaries Companies that remove the fear of failure can accomplish great innovation. Healthier Work Environment Transparency in leadership can also improve your business. When leaders acknowledge their own flaws it: - Reduces stress among employees - Increases job satisfaction - Boosts overall productivity If you’ve ever worked for a workaholic, you know their flawed views on work can be detrimental to your own. But we’re not telling you to hang all your dirty laundry out on the line for everyone to see. There is a strategy behind using imperfection to build a stronger relationship with your customers and employees. A Strategic Approach to Imperfection The key is not to aim for mediocrity, but to view imperfections as opportunities for growth. Your business is never going to be perfect; but you can be perfectly relatable. Be real, be resilient, and be ready to learn and grow. Our best relationships in life (and on the screen) are not between us and perfect people. Quite the opposite. We embrace flaws and appreciate when those around us do the same. Showing your less-than-perfect side will make you more endearing and solidify a long-term relationship between your business and your customers.

First it was pet insurance and foosball tables. Then it was Friday kegs in the office and goat yoga. While those benefits seemed like frivolous ways to bring fun to the office, the current benefit trend that everyone is talking about actually improves productivity and employee well-being (at least as reported by the employees). And it’s likely something you never thought about offering. But before we tell you what it is, let’s talk about some of the results that employees who have used this benefit experienced. According to a survey published by sidehustle.com : · 72% saw an improvement in overall well-being. · 69% experienced better focus. · 68% felt lower stress levels. · 62% saw increased productivity. · 49% reported greater job satisfaction. And… Nearly 50% of employees said they would consider switching jobs if another employer offered this benefit (when their company did not). This new benefit trend could give employers that offer it a leg up on hiring. So, what is this new benefit? The Rise of Unhappy Leave Okay, so leave is not a new benefit. Employees are granted parental leave, sick leave, Family and Medical Leave, and sabbaticals. But this new type of leave—unhappy leave—allows an employee to take time off for mental and emotional well-being. Industries leading this charge include tech, government, and education. Many managers see it as employee recruitment and retention tools because it can help employees deal with stress. It can also provide a cooling off period where co-workers can “take a break from one another.” However, there are apprehensions in offering this benefit as well. Surveyed managers cited concerns over: · misuse or overuse · workload coverage for employees on leave · challenges in distinguishing unhappy leave from regular sick leave · eligibility—what length of tenure would make employees eligible? The trend originated in China with grocery store Pang Dong Lai offering employees up to 10 days a year of unhappy leave. Unhappy leave means employees can take time off without needing approval or justification whenever they feel “emotionally unwell.” The policy is intended to promote a healthy work-life balance. The big difference between this type of leave and others is that it cannot be denied by management . Company culture has been a big concern for businesses over the past 15-20 years. Culture has been a big play in recruitment and trying to protect talent from being poached by the competition. Benefits are a big part of this. But companies want benefits that help with attracting and retaining employees, not just ones that look good on paper. Popular Employee Benefits Some of the most popular employee benefits with a proven return on investment include: · Flexibile schedules (offering this benefit shows a 12% reduction in turnover rate). · Remote work options. · Professional development opportunities including personalized learning plans and career growth. · Wellness programs such as on-demand therapy sessions, mindfulness and meditation programs, and designated mental health days (like unhappy leave). · Eldercare and childcare benefits. · Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs) allowing employees to allocate wellness funds according to their unique needs and preferences. · Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to support various personal and professional issues. · Recognition programs. And now it appears that unhappy leave may have an impressive impact on recruitment and retention as well. But is implementing “unhappy leave” as easy as writing it up through your HR department? Not exactly. If you create a leave program that does not have to be approved by management, you run the risk of your eligible employees taking it at the same time with little to no notice. Leaving the business in a lurch. But that’s not the only thing to think about before implementation. Unhappy leave should be a component of your benefits design, not a simple add-on. According to a 2024 Forbes article , there are other organizational pieces you should pay attention to. These include recruiting for values, tailoring development to the individual, monitoring management (after all, that’s one of the top reasons people leave), and providing clear communications on employee culture and company vision. Unhappy leave should not be used as a bandage for a broken employment environment. If you’re thinking about extending your leave program, make sure you also work on the other end, creating a better work environment so your employees will feel less need to use the perk.

The new year is an ideal time to get clear about your goals. Many people set incredibly inspiring resolutions and plot pathways to their best selves. If you’re one of those people—kudos to you. But if you don’t get straight on one thing, your intentions are going to fall flat. Here’s the one thing you need to know about goal attainment. Every yes is a no and every no is a yes. Did you read that more than once? Is it a little confusing? Like some riddle of the Sphinx or a quote in a fortune cookie? Not really. Let’s break it down. When you say yes to one thing, you’re saying no to another. When you say no to something, you have time to say yes to something else. What Are You Saying Yes To? For many, your holidays probably found you saying yes to a lot of things that didn’t align with your personal or professional goals. Maybe you exhausted yourself doing for others. Maybe you overspent because you wanted everyone in your life to feel special. Maybe you stayed up late at night worrying about the end-of-year in your business. Where did those things get you? Did everyone in your life have a joyful, wonderful holiday without complaint? Did that money you spent have a good return on investment? Did your worrying make things better or solve any of your business stressors? Probably not. If you are serious about meeting your goals—no matter what they are—you need to weigh your choices and institute boundaries. If you’re focused on growing your business in 2025, for instance, and you’ve plotted out the perfect road to get there, you’re going to have to protect that path like you are a medieval warlord. There will be distractions, plenty of them. Some of those distractions will come masked as “self-care.” You may tell yourself that you’re only watching one episode of your favorite show to “unwind.” Three episodes later and you’ve wasted one-fifth of your waking hours! Sometimes the distractions come in the form of other people—Sally who wants your help with the bake sale or Timmy who needs a ride to practice. And you will need to help some of those people because they rely on you. But you don’t need to help all of them. Know the difference. This year, as you’re planning your goals, give thought to safeguarding your time too. Goals are ineffectual if you don’t have any time to complete them. Some of that lack of time will be beyond your control like having to put things on hold while you take care of someone who is ill. But much of your time is likely spent doing things that are just “busy work.” They are activities that aren’t moving the needle, or they’re actions that are performed haphazardly. Haphazard, or unfocused work, is the worst kind because it takes up a lot of time and energy but doesn’t help you make progress on your goals. Imagine playing a carnival game where the aim was to hit a target with a bean bag while blindfolded. Your attempts would be splattered all around (some may even end up in the next stall). Because without your sight, you’re simply trying to get the bean bag in the general direction of where you think the target is. Now imagine, removing your blindfold and being given something like a hose with a powerful stream of water and being told to hit the target with it. It would be much easier because you not only know where the target is, you also have a constant, consistent stream focusing on that target. You need the same in your life as you pursue your goals. You want a constant, consistent pursuit. That only comes from protecting the sanctity of your work with every yes and no you utter.

The new year often brings a renewed focus on fresh starts and improved efficiency. Many of us are wondering how we might earn more, be more productive, and enjoy a better work/life balance. But as you’re committing to goals for the new year, consider that what your business may need is some decluttering. It’s time to channel your inner Marie Kondo and tackle not just physical spaces, but also digital files, outdated processes, and even stagnant strategies. Just like a cluttered home can lead to stress and lost productivity, a cluttered business environment can hinder growth and innovation. Here's how you can embrace decluttering for a more successful year: Tidy the Physical Workspace This is not a slam on people who enjoy visual chaos (like me), but if you can’t locate the basic things you need, it might be time for a new system. Consider how you might: Clear the clutter: Dispose of or donate old equipment, unused supplies, and stacks of paper. Optimize layouts: Reorganize workspaces to improve flow and encourage collaboration or easy access. Embrace minimalism: A clean, minimalist aesthetic can reduce distractions and boost focus. Digital Detox We’re not suggesting you give up your electronics, but isn’t it time your efficiency tools actually work for you? You can do this through: Organizing digital files: How many times have you not been able to find something in your email or files? Hey, it happens to the best of us. That’s why you need to implement and commit to a clear and consistent file-naming system (preferably something in the Cloud) and archive or delete outdated documents. Streamline your inbox: Unsubscribe from unnecessary emails (Gmail and Yahoo make that really easy), utilize filters, and adopt inbox zero practices. Update software and hardware: Ensure all technology is up-to-date and functioning optimally. Research new options. Pick your slowest day and do some quick YouTube research on efficiency tools or Google plug-ins. You can learn a lot in only a few minutes and there’s likely a way to use tools to streamline your current processes. But if you’re waiting for a golden ticket from these software or app companies, it’s unlikely you’ll get one. Just as you may need to perform continuing education or professional development activities each year, take it upon yourself to keep an eye on tech and the digital world. Speaking of… Streamline Processes You can’t make more hours in the day so maximize what you currently have by: Identifying bottlenecks: Analyze workflows to pinpoint areas of inefficiency. Automate tasks: Utilize technology (like AI or conditional software that helps you create “if, then” pathways) to automate repetitive tasks and free up employee time. Eliminate unnecessary meetings: Encourage shorter, more focused meetings with clear agendas. It doesn’t take long to develop a reputation of being a time waster and your employees, vendors, and stakeholders will do everything they can to get out of your meetings. If people opt out, just how effective are the meetings anyway? Revisit Your Strategy If you find yourself saying things like, “But it always worked before,” then it might just be time to: Reassess goals: Ensure your business goals are still relevant and aligned with your overall vision. Eliminate stagnant projects: Don't be afraid to cut your losses on projects that are no longer serving your business. Just because you’ve spent a lot of time, focus, or money on something does not mean you should continue to do so. Identify new opportunities: Create space for fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Go All In and Foster a Culture of Decluttering The new year is an ideal time for early spring cleaning. Out with the old, in with the new. After all, if you can’t make room for new opportunities, you’ll be left with the old ones. · Encouraging employee participation: Provide training and resources to help employees declutter their own workspaces and workflows. Encourage managers to find out what the greatest obstacles to their direct reports’ success are. · Celebrating successes: Recognize and reward efforts to improve efficiency and productivity. Making decluttering a continuous process: Schedule regular decluttering sessions to maintain a clean and organized work environment. Again, remember it’s not all about papers on a desk. There are many ways our work lives get cluttered but all of them eventually lead to breakdowns and inefficiencies. By embracing these decluttering strategies, you can create a more focused, efficient, and ultimately, more successful business. After all, every garden needs room to grow. Your business does too.

Public relations (PR) is just for big companies with tons of connections and celebrity endorsements, right? It can feel like a luxury for those of us with small businesses. Hiring a dedicated PR firm is often financially out of reach. But who has the time to learn the ropes of good PR while juggling everything else? It takes years or deep wallets to make those kinds of connections, doesn’t it? Not exactly. You don't need a fancy PR background or a hefty budget to generate buzz. With a little creativity and the internet, you can score big media wins. Mastering PR Fundamentals Before diving into tactics, let's make sure you’re not wasting your time. There are a couple of fundamentals you’ll want to have down first. Define Your Story: What makes your business unique—I mean really unique? (And no, good customer service is not a unique value proposition.) What problem do you solve better (or differently) than anyone else? Identify your key messages and craft a compelling narrative that resonates with your target audience. (And, oh, you have to define your target audience too—and it’s not everybody. See below.) Know Your Audience: Who are you trying to reach? What media outlets do they consume? Understanding your audience is crucial for targeting your PR efforts effectively. If you are trying to target women under 25, they’re not reading the paper version of the Wall Street Journal, for instance. Don’t waste your time pitching them. Set Realistic Goals: What do you hope to achieve with PR? Increased brand awareness or likability? Website traffic? Leads? Defining your goals will help you measure success. Generating Buzz on a Budget Now, let's explore some cost-effective PR strategies that don’t require a public relations degree: Harness the Power of Social Media Build a strong presence on platforms relevant to your audience. Share engaging content, interact with followers, and participate in industry conversations. Remember, PR firms are successful because they know it’s a long game of building relationships. Use social media to connect and build relations with your ideal audience and people who work with them (like influencers, media, etc.) Craft Killer Press Releases Learn the art of writing concise, informative press releases that highlight newsworthy events, product launches, or company milestones. Don’t assume every press release has to be about a big event like an opening. There is a lot of need for feel-good stories these days. You can pitch these community connection pieces as long as you do your research to understand who is interested in them. Build Relationships with Local Media Connect with journalists and editors at local newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and blogs. Offer them exclusive stories or expert commentary related to your industry. Leverage Online PR Platforms Explore free or affordable online platforms like Help a Reporter Out (HARO) to connect with journalists seeking sources for their stories. This time of year, many news sources are doing stories on local business owners and the shop small movement. Getting featured can have a big impact on top-of-mind attention. Become a Guest Blogger Offer to write informative and engaging articles for relevant blogs and websites to reach a wider audience and establish yourself as an industry expert. Check with the chamber. They may have content needs. Host Events and Workshops Organize free events or workshops related to your business. This can attract local media attention and position you as a valuable resource in the community. If you do this, make sure your chamber knows as well so it can help you get the word out. Partner with Other Businesses Collaborate with complementary businesses on joint promotions or events to expand your reach and tap into new customer bases. Don't Underestimate the Power of Referrals Encourage satisfied customers to spread the word by offering incentives or running referral programs. Building Media Relationships Making media contacts doesn't have to be daunting. Here are some tips: Start Local: Focus on building relationships with local media outlets first. They are often more accessible and eager to cover local businesses. Do Your Research: Identify journalists and editors who cover your industry or area of expertise. Follow them on social media and familiarize yourself with their work. Personalize Your Pitch: Tailor your pitch to each journalist, highlighting why your story is relevant to their audience. Keep it concise and to the point. Be Persistent (But Not Annoying): Follow up on your pitches, but don't bombard journalists with emails. Respect their time and be mindful of deadlines. Build Relationships, Not Just Contacts: Engage with journalists on social media, offer helpful information, and be a valuable resource. Building genuine relationships will pay off in the long run. Effective PR doesn't require a big budget or a PR degree. Social media has made connecting easier than ever. You just have to be clear on your story and who it’s speaking to. By doing so, you can generate significant media attention and elevate your business to new heights.

If you’re the typical small business owner, you began your business with an exciting idea, a passion. No one goes into business thinking, “I can’t wait to work on cash flow challenges.” And yet, cash flow is one of the top reasons businesses close their doors. It’s not that they aren’t making money. It’s that managing it is not everyone’s skill set. Money management challenges are one of the most critical areas you need to master to be successful. This article is here to provide general information. Consult a financial planner or tax professional for more long-term solutions. 5 Money Management Tips for Better Business Here are some of the key issues and ways to address them: Cash Flow Management Many small businesses struggle with maintaining consistent cash flow. This can lead to difficulty paying bills, making payroll, or investing in growth opportunities. You might have the money promised to you on paper, but not knowing when it will come in can be a challenge. Businesses at every level can be impacted by this so it takes consistent monitoring. To improve cash flow: · Create detailed cash flow forecasts and monitor them regularly. · Encourage timely customer payments by offering incentives or implementing stricter payment terms. Enforce those terms and send out reminder invoices. · Negotiate favorable payment terms with suppliers. · Maintain a cash reserve for unexpected expenses or slow periods. According to a JPMorgan study of 597,000 small businesses, 25% held a reserve covering fewer than 13 days of expenses if other revenue dried up. Budgeting and Expense Tracking Small businesses often lack robust budgeting practices and struggle to track expenses effectively. If this feels like you, consider: · Creating a detailed, realistic budget and review it regularly. · Using accounting software (or an app) to automate expense tracking and generate accurate reports. · Separating personal and business finances to avoid confusion. Your accountant will appreciate it. · Assessing finances and adjusting budgets regularly as needed. Debt Management Taking on too much debt or mismanaging existing debt can be detrimental to small businesses. COVID brought on unparalleled times. One thing we learned from it is that you must be prepared for the known challenges and the unknown ones. To manage debt more effectively: · Be cautious about taking on unnecessary debt · Prioritize paying off high-interest debts first · Consider consolidating multiple loans to simplify repayments · Build and maintain a good business credit score Tax Compliance Many small businesses underestimate the importance of tax planning and compliance. To improve in this area: · Work with a tax professional to stay on top of obligations and deadlines. If you don’t know a reputable one, check with the chamber. · Regularly set aside money for taxes. · Stay informed about tax laws and possible deductions. Financial Planning and Analysis Small businesses often lack the time or expertise for thorough financial analysis and planning. It’s likely something that’s best outsourced to a pro. Again, if you don’t know one, check with the chamber. To enhance financial management: · Understand and regularly review key financial statements including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. It’s boring, but beneficial. · Use financial management software to automate repetitive tasks and generate insights. · Establish financial protocols and plans, no matter how small your business is. Doing so early will put you on the path to success. · Regularly assess your business's financial performance and adjust strategies accordingly. If you don’t have the money to work with professionals right now, talk to your chamber, SCORE chapter, and SBA. There are many low-cost options to help you get on the right track for long-term success.

AI is one of the most efficient tools we’ve seen since the advent of the computer. But if you’re using it to generate content and then just copying and pasting, you’re missing out. And that kind of “laziness” could be costing you customers. Here’s how a couple of quick edits can bring your AI-generated content from meh to aaaamazing. First, we’re going to assume you can write a good solid prompt. Telling AI what role you want it to have (you are a brilliant small business owner, for example), who your audience is, what kind of content you’re looking for, and what tone you want, is essential to getting a solid first draft. Here’s what you do from there to create non-robot-like narratives and articles. Add Stats Stats generated from AI can be questionable (unless you select a tool like Perplexity that cites its sources). That’s why it’s best to research your own. It’s even more effective if you source stats that are taken directly from your community. That gives your content a unique and local flavor. Link It with Your Narrative What’s your business story? Add parts of that into the article you just generated. You can include personal recollections, stories, and/or business examples. This livens things up but there’s another reason you want to add your own flavor. AI-generated content is not copyrighted. If you use AI to create an ebook with no edits from you, there is nothing legally stopping your competitor from taking that content and replicating it word for word. However, if you make it yours with your personality and examples, it’s arguably no longer up for grabs. Add Art I know I’ll catch a little flack for this, but when you add your own artistic flair, you are again distinguishing yourself in the market. You are helping your audience get to know you, not AI. Add a Theme This is something the AI can do for you, if requested. Doing so helps differentiate the content generation it’s doing for you from that of your competition. If you are a plumber, for instance, and you identify an audience and tone that you share with your plumbing competition, then you ask AI to write a blog post about what to do with a leaky faucet, you could both end up with very similar pieces. But if you add another step to the article and give it a theme, your post will be more unique. For instance, you might say write a post about how fixing a leaky faucet will make you feel better about your contributions to the environment. That little direction makes your article slightly different from everyone else. It will help give context and drive action on the importance of prompt repairs. AI is one of the best productivity tools you can implement in your business. But you want to do it in a way that does not jeopardize the quality of your content. Adding emotion and placing your personality into the piece will make it your own. Finally, while there are a lot of AI tools out there, be consistent in the ones you use for your business content creation. Speak to it the way you would a friend or a long-time employee. Show your personality. Upload pieces of content you’ve produced that you like. AI will respond to you in much the same way a beloved friend will learn your preferences and personality over time. If you do this, eventually the narrative and adding personality suggestions in this article will happen naturally with AI. Now if only I could get it to fold my laundry. That would be a real win.
