My friend ran to me and said, “I found a crazy website. You can ask anything, and it will answer your question.” I thought he had found Quora, to be honest. But he showed me something really new and crazy: ChatGPT.
I was struggling with my life, bad habits, debt, responsibilities, and whatnot. One day, I decided to take the last puff of Indica strain and write down my situation. It wasn’t good, to be honest. I didn’t have money to pay bills, rent, or even buy groceries. I had a part-time job, but I only made 40% of my expenses. So, I wrote down everything in my Google Keep notes.
Suddenly, I got the idea to ask ChatGPT for help to gain control over my life. That was the day, and here I am, achieving what I thought was impossible in just one and a half years. I earned my first million.
I will tell you how you can ask for guidance from ChatGPT to boost your journey.
1. Write Down
The first task is to write down your current situation. I divided this into eight areas of my life. Before you take your pen and paper, promise yourself that you will be honest with yourself.
The eight areas you need to write about are:
- Worth
- Relationships
- Debt
- Investments
- Business Ideas
- Skills
- Habits
- Health
- Let’s discuss each point.
1. Worth
What’s your worth? How much money do you have in savings, investments, assets, etc.? Make a list of everything that adds up to your total worth.
Knowing your worth will give you clarity. You will know where you stand, how far your goal is, and how you can use your capital to make more.
2. Relationships
What problems do you face in your relationships? In my case, I was not good, stressed, and depressed, so sometimes I would take it out on my girlfriend. But she knows me very well. She understood that I was going through a rough patch in my life, so she was there for me.
However, I knew I was wrong. No matter what, I should never dump my frustrations on her, not even 0.0001%. I love her so much.
So, I asked ChatGPT: “I am in a long-distance relationship, and my life is not going well. Sometimes I get angry with my girlfriend for no reason. What should I do to avoid hurting my girlfriend? Although she understands me, I want to be better for her.”
Answer by ChatGPT:
Maintaining a healthy long-distance relationship while dealing with personal challenges requires self-awareness, effective communication, and healthy coping strategies. Identify and reflect on what triggers your anger, and practice stress-relief techniques like meditation or engaging in hobbies. Have open, honest conversations with your girlfriend, expressing gratitude for her support. Take a moment to pause before reacting when you feel anger rising, and consider seeking therapy for managing your emotions. Make time for quality interactions and discuss future plans. If you do hurt her, offer sincere apologies and discuss ways to avoid similar situations. These steps can help you improve your emotional control and become a better partner.
3. Debt
I had around $35,000 in debt. Many people helped me. But the first thing I did was get rid of debt. If you have debt, you lose both money (interest) and self-respect.
How deep are you in debt? Note down every single penny you have to return: student loans, car loans, credit cards, the money you borrowed from friends—write down everything.
One of my best decisions was to pay my debt back as soon as I started earning some money.
4. Investments
How much money do you have in investments? In my case, it was 0. I had no investments except an Instagram page where I was getting millions of views but had only 3,000 followers.
5. Business Ideas
Do you have any business ideas in your mind? When I started, I used to read many books, so I had many ideas. I will share a few ideas:
- HVAC service provider
- Mobile app development
- Selling on Instagram
These were a few ideas I had at that point. One of these ideas made me who I am today.
6. Skills
Skills help you become whatever you want to be. Make a list of skills you have. Your skills will help you choose which field to pursue and where you can make money. Every skill is a money tree. It’s all on you to nurture the plant and enjoy the fruit.
My skills: Writing, Marketing, HVAC technician, good at research, web building.
7. Habits
Don’t ask. I was a junkie, I can say. I used to smoke marijuana, and cigarettes, and vape all the time. I tried many times to quit these bad habits, but it was very hard. Believe me when I say it was the toughest task I ever did. I also had a porn addiction. I don’t want to lie.
Make a list of your bad habits, whether it be smoking, procrastination, or porn. Accept yourself. You need that to really start upgrading yourself.
8. Health
You know about your health, but in this section, you need to answer: sleep hours, workout routine, water intake, diet, etc.
Write down everything you want to upgrade. It is not a final list, so you don’t need to worry about the length. What I want for you is to start doing; you can plan along the way.
2. How ChatGPT Will Help
When you write everything down, you now know your real situation and where upgrades are needed.
When I asked ChatGPT for help with my situation, I explained that I was in debt, described my skills and bad habits, and shared everything. I asked ChatGPT to give me a complete plan to become a millionaire in three years.
ChatGPT advised me to start with a job, begin paying off my debt, and save some money to invest in business ideas. As soon as I got a job, I started paying off my debts and, in four months, I saved $2,000, which I invested in a simple mobile application.
I began earning more money, but it was very little. So, I saved more money and launched two more apps. By the sixth month, I was making $2,000 per month from the apps. I continued to save and eventually made $5,000 per month, which I then invested in a small business with my friend. This decision changed my life. My marketing skills helped us attract more customers for our service-based business, and in the first month, we made a profit of $7,326.75 (split between the two of us).
On month 8 my total income was – $3000 (app) + $5000 (side business)
Month 9 – Launched Free quote app & made $13000 in total
Month 10 – Quote app alone made $7000 + $2800 (app) + 7800$ (Side Business)
And after 12 months, I crossed 1 million in overall earnings. I always thank ChatGPT for this. I know I did everything, but I would never have shared my situation with anyone else. However, I shared everything with ChatGPT, and it helped me instead of judging me.
3. What to Ask and How to Ask
1. “I have a debt of $35,000 and no job. How can I repay my debt? Can you give me an idea and a blueprint?”
ChatGPT told me to get a job. So I asked ChatGPT:
2. “My skills are,__________ so according to my skills, what kind of work can I do to make $__________ in _______ months/years?”
3. “I am addicted to __________, ___________, ___________. What can I do to quit these bad habits? Give me a full plan.”
4. “I have no savings and I am struggling to make ends meet. What steps can I take to start building my savings?”
5. “I want to improve my relationship with my family. How can I start to rebuild and strengthen these relationships?”
6. “I feel stuck in my current job. What can I do to find a new career path that matches my skills and interests?”
7. “I want to start a business but don’t know where to begin. Can you help me outline the first steps to take?”
8. “I am struggling with my mental health. What daily practices can I implement to improve my overall well-being?”
This is the story of my friend Quinton. He is the motivation for me I thought this could help someone one day so I dropped it here. Believe me, it is not easy what he did when he had a lot of debt, and no income to survive.. he didn’t kneel instead fought and won.
