Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to be back. Took a couple weeks off from the podcast. I missed you all. I've been thinking of you all and I am energized and geared up for 2025. Oh, yeah, there's gonna be so many changes and I don't think the general world is. Is prepared for it, or not even prepared, but like, I guess you can't get prepared. I don't think they realize what's happening. And I take it as my personal mission to guide you through this because there's going to be so much opportunity and honestly, blessings if you look at it correctly. So without further ado, let's get going. I am, I am definitely going to be shaking things up. Um, today I'm going to share with you how we're evolving this year. Not just in the mastermind, but in our business and in our lives and the way that we approach everything. And yes, we're also talking about AI. In fact, there's probably not going to be an episode moving forward that you're not going to hear me mention it. And I, I just want to be real frank about that because it's kind of like not talking that the sky is blue. It's right there. It's the elephant in the room. There's going to be a lot of people, you know, running from it in fear. And you know, that's not how I do things and that's not how I teach. We're definitely not going to be in fear. It's not going anywhere. And the way it's growing is absolutely mind boggling. Um, I listen to podcasts on almost on a daily basis on this stuff from leading experts around the world. Um, from some of them are probably boring to some. Cause I'm, I'm listening to developers and, and all this geek speak and stuff. But it's also that not only can I leverage it in my own business, but so that I can pass it on to you. If you're not already using it in your business. Don't worry, you're not behind. But. But by the end of the year, you're gonna feel like a total pro. If you trust me. Cause I got you. And I don't say that lightly. Here's the thing. Every single one of you listening is in a different stage. Some of you are in survival mode, holding it together day by day. Some of you are in growth mode, building something incredible. Some are you coasting, enjoying the fruits of your hard Work. And some of you are in a creative space dreaming up the best, best next idea, wherever you are. This episode and this year, it's for you. I want to start looking back at the last year in the Mastermind. We had three meetings a month. Coaching calls, HR sessions, speakers. It was a lot. Some of you loved it, some of you hit a little bit of meeting fatigue. And I get it, it was a lot of value. But I think we can make it even better this year. So here's what I'm thinking. How can I, as your coach, make this Mastermind even more valuable? How can I make sure that you're not just keeping up with times, but staying ahead of them? That's where AI comes in. AI isn't just tech companies or Silicone Valley. It's you, pet business owners, busy entrepreneurs. People who are juggling a million things and need a way to do them faster, smarter, and with less stress. Maybe even just someone to talk to to get the stuff out of your head and make it make sense. Yes, it can do that. I do that a couple times a week, believe it or not. Last year, you might have dabbled with AI, maybe ChatGPT or some other tool, and you're like, oh, yeah, Bell, I got it. Like, I know ChatGPT. I use it. But it doesn't really like, talk like me. It doesn't really know me really well. I don't know the full extent of what I'm doing with it. I've dabbled in it. But on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best and maybe like a 1 or 2, so maybe it worked for you, maybe it didn't. But here's the truth. If it didn't work, and some of you don't know that it didn't work, you think it worked, but it didn't work. Are you with me? It's not because AI doesn't work. It's because it wasn't used the right way. And that's where I come in. This year, we're simplifying, streamlining, and adding even more value with less time. Here's what you can expect. First, we're keeping the monthly roundup calls. These are the bread and butter of the Mastermind. It's a chance for you to submit your questions, get coached, and hear from your fellow jumpers. It's where, like, brainstorms can come up. Or sometimes other people ask questions that you're like, yeah, that's a good question. I kind of had that, too. I just didn't articulate it. Right. There's something magical about a group think, bouncing ideas off each other and realizing, wow, I'm not the only one that struggles with this. The next is our HR expert. She's totally sticking around Nikki with HR answers. Uh, she comes in quarterly, and let me tell you, she's an absolute gem. She's been working with pet sitters and dog walkers since 2018, and she knows our industry inside and out. Whether you're wondering how to fire someone or what to ask in an interview or how to handle tricky team situations, she's your go to. Plus, we have an insane library of HR questions and answers. Literally, like, every question that's ever been asked, organized by topic, it has a timestamp and it takes you straight to the video. You can just go in search and bam, you get your answer. There's nowhere else in the industry you can get that. But here's the really big shift for 2025, and honestly, I've been thinking about it, praying about it, manifesting it, whatever resonates the. Okay, I'm, I'm, I'm doing something this year. I'm really excited. Like, I'm, like, literally publicly announcing it right now. We're going to be doing what I'm going to call AI labs. No more passive learning. This is about hands on, roll up your sleeves. Let's get this done together. Jump on zoom, record it, play around in it. We can do it on my account if you don't have one, so you can see the true potential of what's there. Every month, we're going to dive into AI tools and techniques you can use to simplify your business and save time. And I'm not just talking about ChatGPT, although we'll start there because, let's face it, it's the easiest entry point. And if you're an iPhone user, and I think it's only on the iPhone 16s right now, but, like, Siri's teamed up with ChatGPT. So Siri and I were not friends up until recently. Like, Siri would never listen to me. I'd ask for apples, she'd give me oranges. I don't know if you guys have had that, that before, but holy cow, Siri is like my BFF now, because she just got a whole lot smarter. And it's amazing. And the things that you can do on the phone are amazing. And it just, it blows my mind thinking about how ChatGPT is coming to mainstream. Mainstream, Right. People aren't really talking about it yet, but it's Mainstream. Like, it's summarizing your emails, it's summarizing your text messages. It's able to rewrite your text messages or emails with the click of a button. Professional or friendly. Or if you load up your own chat GPT, it's. It's powerful. This is where.
