This quote has changed my year
|
This quote is my laptop background. It's my single focus right now: Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.
​
h/t my friend Emily Dunlop Nothing changes until you change. The only way to get new results is to choose new decisions. My sole focus right now is making sure my weeks are looking different than they did last year. Otherwise? 2026 ends and you're in the same place as before. There's a ChatGPT prompt I obsess over every single week. It identifies your "core flaw" AKA the biggest bottleneck you need to address for growth. Just copy and paste this prompt into a new ChatGPT chat and see what it says for you: Part 1: Diagnosis
​
Pinpoint the one core flaw, mental model error, or strategic blind spot.
​
Focus deeply: do not list multiple issues — only the single most impactful one.
​
Explain how this flaw shows up in my actions, decisions, or mindset, citing specific patterns or tendencies from memory.
​
Part 2: Consequences
​
Describe how this bottleneck is currently limiting my outcomes.
​
Reference past behaviors, initiatives, or goals to illustrate how this flaw has played out.
​
Be brutally honest but maintain a constructive, actionable tone.
​
Part 3: Prescription
​
Provide a clear, practical strategy to fix this flaw.
​
Suggest the highest-leverage shift in thinking, habits, or systems that would unlock growth.
​
Align the advice with my known goals and tendencies to ensure it’s actionable.
​
Important:
​
Do not sugarcoat.
​
Prioritize brutal clarity over comfort.
​
Your goal is to make me see what I am blind to.
​
Use memory as an asset to provide deep, sharp insights.
Then, bookmark the chat so you can revisit it again and again. Things I've done differently this year:
The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins. Hope it's been a beautiful week. Joe |

Every creator I know is using AI now. Usually to: Write posts faster Repurpose in minutes Automate their workflow On paper, that sounds great, right? But sometimes the behind the scenes can look like… More output but fewer real conversations More impressions but less trust More content but no lift in revenue And that’s often because people are completely relying on AI for their content and judgement. AI is either your biggest advantage or your fastest way to damage your personal brand....
Hey, I probably owe you a bit more detail on what the Personal Brand Mastery cohort actually is and how it works. Towards the end of last year, we launched Amplify Academy. For the last 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with world-class creators, best-selling authors, and founders who are true thought leaders in their industry. But I had to make a choice. Keep building elite brands in private and behind closed doors. Or break down everything I’ve learned about the creator economy to...
Hey, If I was to take a guess, I bet your content ideas live in at least 5x different places. Notes app. Google Docs. Screenshots you sent yourself. Voice memos you never transcribed. Random thoughts in Slack. Meaning every time you want to post, you spend 20 minutes hunting. By the time you find it, you’ve lost the energy to actually write. Sound familiar? 😅 The annoying part is that you’re thinking about content and having the ideas. But there’s no system. This is an issue we saw repeatedly...
