Stop hiding from AI (yes, you)

With so much uncertainty, I wanted to find a way to add value to you, non-profit leaders, with no intent to sell you anything here. I figured I'd create these Weekly Emails I call Monday Motivational Minute because Mondays are historically the roughest days, and a minute . . . well because you're very busy people. In these, I'll add creative, quick, actionable takeaways for you to try (All in a minute read). No pressure, no need to respond, read at your leisure or unsubscribe if it doesn't add value.

---------------------

Happy Monday Brian! (Stop looking around... yes you, Brian) 

I'm excluding everyone else and this is just to you Brian. You've BEEN READING THESE EMAILS for months but still haven't tried AI? You're not alone!
Every week I get responses like "This sounds amazing but I'm worried about privacy" or " I don't know where to start" or "I keep forgetting."

Meanwhile, Fred Flintstone, you're still manually doing tasks that the great Executive Director George Jetson(Aging myself here), could automate in minutes. ENOUGH EXCUSES BRIAN! I see you.... no more hiding behind "one day" 🫣😉 

Let's get a little real, Brian: You've been hearing other EDs transform their efficiency while you're still hesitant, telling yourself "I'll try it next week" for the past six months. But now, you can't avoid the letters A-I, no more than you can avoid the numbers six-sevennnnn (You'll get this joke if you have kids in school 😖)You follow and read because the tips all make sense conceptually.

Familiar at all Brian? 

Look, I say this because I love you and I'm awed by the work you do. Your hesitation isn't protecting you, it's costing you highly important hours weekly that could be spent growing your amazing life changing mission. Those guests out there need you now and the learning curve is literally two minutes, not two months. 

Today we're removing EVERY excuse. I don't care how old you are; No risk, just 2 minutes to do, no personal info required, easy detailed instructions, short enough to not impact the environment at all; just pure high value you can use immediately, Brian. 

Actionable Task: Your completely anonymous AI test drive For RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW Brian:

Step 1: Download ChatGPT app (100% free) or go to chat.openai.com 
Step 2: Use any alias name and junk email if privacy concerns you
Step 3: Easily Copy-paste this exact prompt, fill in YOUR details:
"I'm an Executive Director of [YOUR ORGANIZATION TYPE] serving [YOUR COMMUNITY/DEMOGRAPHIC] in [YOUR CITY/STATE]. Our biggest operational challenge right now is [YOUR CURRENT STRUGGLE - like staff burnout, donor retention, volunteer coordination, etc.].
Generate 5 specific, actionable strategies I can implement this week to address this challenge. Include exact steps and realistic timelines for a busy nonprofit leader."
Step 4: Use the response immediately to solve your actual problem 

You'll get a customized action plan in 30 seconds. 

Remember Brian: As the great theologian Ferris Bueller said once while avoiding school "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around for a while, you could miss it" 

🤫 This is also to you Omar, Becky and Pat, and all those that haven't tried it yet......Listen, just try it once.......everybody is doing it.😖
P.S. Brians, after you try this, reply with just 'Done' so I know you actually did it.
