Transcripts

Speaker:

You are now tuned in to the mom CEO suite podcast.

Speaker:

I'm your host, Felicia, wife, mom, and

Speaker:

entrepreneur. In this podcast, I'll be sharing my mompreneur

Speaker:

journey along with strategies that will help you build your online

Speaker:

business operations in a sustainable way. The goal is

Speaker:

to help you build a business that fits into your lifestyle as a mom who

Speaker:

values putting family first. We will also hear the

Speaker:

experiences and expertise of other moms with service

Speaker:

based businesses. You'll get a peek into our journeys, so you'll

Speaker:

know that you aren't alone. Motherhood gets hard.

Speaker:

Entrepreneurship gets hard. But together, we can

Speaker:

do hard things. Welcome to the suite.

Speaker:

Hey friend, welcome to another episode. Thank you for being here. So

Speaker:

today, This is part two of how I use

Speaker:

AI tools to support me. A few episodes back was

Speaker:

part one. If you missed it, I'm going to link it in the show description.

Speaker:

So you can go ahead and go back. And listen to part one,

Speaker:

and I'm just continuing this conversation in part two, I thought I was

Speaker:

only going to be doing two parts, but. AI artificial

Speaker:

intelligence. There have just been so many things, so many new

Speaker:

developments that this just might. Continue one

Speaker:

until, you know, they stop coming out with new things.

Speaker:

Um, but I'm just going to constantly be testing out new things

Speaker:

and whatever I implement or just things that I

Speaker:

have learned or insights that I've gained. I'll come on here and share it.

Speaker:

On the podcast. So today I just have a few things that I wanted to

Speaker:

share. And again, this is related to both home and business.

Speaker:

So the first thing, which is going to be home-related. My

Speaker:

daughter, she just turned three in

Speaker:

August and I am pretty sure we're going to go the

Speaker:

homeschooling route. And so kind of in preparation for that.

Speaker:

While she's home with me. I want to start. Trying to

Speaker:

implement some type of. Lesson plans or

Speaker:

activities, just getting into the groove of homeschooling a

Speaker:

little bit. And so I use Chad GPT to help me.

Speaker:

Create a homeschool curriculum. And so the prompt that

Speaker:

I put in to Chet GPT is this. I said, you

Speaker:

have a three-year-old daughter that you want to homeschool. Please create a monthly

Speaker:

curriculum broken down into weekly and daily lesson plans. That

Speaker:

are age appropriate and cover skills such as reading, writing, math, science,

Speaker:

social, emotional learning, and anything else she should be learning

Speaker:

during this phase. it gave me something.

Speaker:

And then another prompt that I added was please incorporate arts and

Speaker:

crafts and musical activities as well. And it gave me something else.

Speaker:

And then I added another prompt that said for each lesson plan, can you give

Speaker:

step-by-step instructions on how to execute the activity and

Speaker:

materials needed? And so this gave me a very.

Speaker:

Comprehensive lesson plan. And I just kept going

Speaker:

on and on with the prompts, just to kind of see what it would give

Speaker:

me. And the themes were really good. I even added some

Speaker:

things like adding biblical studies in there. The themes were

Speaker:

really good and it was broken down really well. And I'm going to

Speaker:

go back, take some information from it, modify it. It

Speaker:

definitely gave me a starting point because I was just in a space where it

Speaker:

was like, I have no idea where to start. And so,

Speaker:

um, this helped me tremendously with ideas for activities, and

Speaker:

even just giving me a structure. Of things that I can follow as

Speaker:

I am starting this homeschool journey with my,

Speaker:

my daughter. Okay. So that's the first thing. The other.

Speaker:

Okay, I'll do this one. The other thing that was kind of related to home

Speaker:

was this budget piece. So what I

Speaker:

did. I took a a

Speaker:

CSV file of the transactions from a monthly statement.

Speaker:

And I uploaded that into chat GPT. And

Speaker:

I asked it to, analyze the budget. And

Speaker:

give recommendations, based on the information that it

Speaker:

gathered from the, from the transactions.

Speaker:

And so I put that in there and then what it gave to me,

Speaker:

it broke down the spending by category. it broke it

Speaker:

down in dollar amount and then also in a percentage so it

Speaker:

said on food, you spend this amount and that's X percent of

Speaker:

your total budget on housing. You spent this

Speaker:

much and it was x percent of your total

Speaker:

budget. Now that I'm thinking about it. I think I uploaded transactions for an

Speaker:

entire quarter, not just for one month. But any row

Speaker:

I uploaded these transactions and it gave me this information, like how

Speaker:

much I was spending and, um, what percentage of my budget that

Speaker:

was. And then it gave recommendations for, you know, trying to

Speaker:

either reduce some areas or where I had some room where I

Speaker:

could. You know, Spend more if I desire to.

Speaker:

And, and I guess this is kind of based on like financial models and

Speaker:

food, for example, you know, you spend the average amount on

Speaker:

food and it kind of compare housing costs and all these things.

Speaker:

So that was a really informational if you're trying to kind of hone in

Speaker:

on your budget. and just kind of be in

Speaker:

alignment with like those financial models that say, you know, your housing

Speaker:

should be X percent of your budget and, I don't even know the other categories,

Speaker:

but they, they kind of give these categories in percentages.

Speaker:

That's like ideal for your budget. So if you're one of those people and you're

Speaker:

looking to kind of get better with your budget, that might be helpful. I

Speaker:

thought it was just a little bit insightful. So those were the two

Speaker:

things. That I used AI for

Speaker:

related to home. And then the final two things are going to be related

Speaker:

to the business. So again, keeping with this idea of data

Speaker:

analysis. I first started the data analysis with the

Speaker:

business. And so what I did. I was looking through my email.

Speaker:

Analytics. And, I downloaded some of the

Speaker:

information from my email analytics. I

Speaker:

uploaded that into Chad GPT and I exited it to analyze the

Speaker:

data and it gave me. Let me see if I can find

Speaker:

it really quick. Okay. So what I exited, I just

Speaker:

uploaded this CSV file. Or this

Speaker:

spreadsheet. And I asked him, can you analyze the data in this

Speaker:

file? And give me a summary of the best performing emails sent in

Speaker:

2024. So the information included data

Speaker:

from. Before 20, 24, but I only wanted to know

Speaker:

about the information for 2024. And so

Speaker:

then it kind of gave me a summary and it told me the data

Speaker:

contained email performance metrics, including like the email name,

Speaker:

the sin time unique opens unique clicks, open rate,

Speaker:

click rate, unsubscribe rate. Okay, then it filtered out the information

Speaker:

for 2024. And it gave me,

Speaker:

um, a list of the top five open

Speaker:

rate emails. It gave me a list of the top five click

Speaker:

rate emails. And then it gave me a list of

Speaker:

the top five unique clicks email.

Speaker:

So having this information, it allowed me to see

Speaker:

what the best performing emails were. And I was able to

Speaker:

go back into my email marketing tool and see what the

Speaker:

specific. Um, emails were about And so that

Speaker:

was really helpful. And I didn't notice a trend that there

Speaker:

was a. Um, Increase in

Speaker:

clicks when tutorials. We're included. So

Speaker:

that information I can take. And make decisions

Speaker:

for the future things that I'm going to put into my email.

Speaker:

So that was the first data analysis thing. Actually, I did this

Speaker:

one first and then. I did B budget analysis.

Speaker:

So that was there. This is really interesting is so if you have any type

Speaker:

of data, And your business. You can

Speaker:

actually just upload it here and X chat GBT to

Speaker:

summarize it for you. And you can make informed decisions based

Speaker:

on this summary. Some email marketing tools. I'm using

Speaker:

flow desk, some email marketing tools. Might've had this embedded.

Speaker:

In there. Um, software natively, but the way

Speaker:

flow desks analytics are it just didn't. it didn't give me

Speaker:

the information. As simple and straightforward as Chad

Speaker:

GPT did. All right. Then the final thing that I

Speaker:

used an AI tool for, again, this was Chad GBT. So for all of these,

Speaker:

it was Chad GPT. It was creating a.

Speaker:

Content calendar. And so what I exited

Speaker:

to do, I was very specific. In

Speaker:

what I exited to do. And the reason why I did this is

Speaker:

because I'm what I really wanted to. Get a better workflow for

Speaker:

creating my content. This is like one area of the business

Speaker:

that is not systemized where I don't have a real workflow

Speaker:

for outside of the podcast. A lot of my content I

Speaker:

just do on the fly or in real time. And so I was looking for

Speaker:

a way to be able to create content ahead of time and

Speaker:

schedule it. And it really just makes sense. So I exited to create me

Speaker:

a social media content calendar, and it was very

Speaker:

specific. And the prompt that I put in. So I

Speaker:

exit it to create a monthly social media content calendar in

Speaker:

table form. And then I gave it all of the

Speaker:

different, um, Like parameters. And

Speaker:

platforms how often I wanted to post on each platform

Speaker:

and the different types of posts that I wanted to, uh, be

Speaker:

included. Um, sales polls for the different

Speaker:

offers. Told them, my audience told them my content

Speaker:

pillars and it spit out. A content calendar for

Speaker:

me. And it was broken down by social media.

Speaker:

Platform. And then for each day there was pretty

Speaker:

much. You know, like a type of post. For

Speaker:

that particular platform. And so it was really good. And then I asked

Speaker:

them my follow-up prompt was

Speaker:

related to my podcast episodes, and I asked them to

Speaker:

redo the calendar specifically for. October

Speaker:

20, 24 and it mapped it out better.

Speaker:

With my podcast episodes. And then I put another prompt in

Speaker:

here that gave them because I really wanted my content to be based

Speaker:

off of the podcast episodes every week. And so then

Speaker:

I put in what the actual topics for each week. for the podcast

Speaker:

would be, and then, ask them to redo it based on that

Speaker:

information. And so it gave me. The

Speaker:

information that I needed in a good starting point. Now I'm not going to use

Speaker:

every single one of their, um, you know, every single one

Speaker:

of their prompts or. whatever they gave me, but again, it's a

Speaker:

good starting point. I'm not starting from zero. So it was super

Speaker:

helpful in helping me to be able to create a system and a workflow for

Speaker:

my content creation outside of the podcast. And I'm going to do a

Speaker:

separate episode that kind of walks through exactly what this

Speaker:

workflow looks like. Um, so definitely stay tuned for

Speaker:

that. But. those were just four other ways that I'm using

Speaker:

AI. Most specifically this time around Chad

Speaker:

GPT to support me. So one, it helped me to create

Speaker:

a homeschool curriculum. Um, to help me to

Speaker:

analyze data from my spending habits

Speaker:

three helped me to analyze data from my

Speaker:

emails that I sent. And then for helped me to

Speaker:

create a content calendar. All

Speaker:

right. So again, this was part two. If you miss part one, I'll

Speaker:

link it in the show description and shoot me a message over on Instagram. Let

Speaker:

me know how you are using AI to support

Speaker:

you in life in a business. Thanks for listening. And I'll
