Over the last 48 hours, I had the most profound positive brainstorming experience of my life.

Over the last 48 hours, I had the most profound positive brainstorming experience of my life.

I woke up Tuesday morning motivated to find the best solution for a very complex real estate opportunity that needs to be addressed sooner than later. Every month it goes unsolved, costs me a small fortune, so I am highly motivated to solve it to my advantage!

So, I decided to add a good old fashioned brainstorm to my morning rituals of a 20-minute cold plunge followed by an hour walk on the streets of Brickell, Miami. This afforded gave me the perfect opportunity to brainstorm with my favorite brainstorming partner - yours truly! 🤣

However, after an hour and a half of racking my brain for creative solutions, I had absolutely……….NADA!!!!!

When clarity does not emerge on my own, my go to maneuver is to reach out to people smarter or more experienced than me area I am engaging.

So, I made myself an espresso, grabbed a seat on my balcony, took in the beautiful water view and began making calls. Usually, this goes well for me. I have a deep bench of pals I can tap for complex problem solving who are experts in their fields. But, alas, not today! Something was definitely in the air and it was not good! 

The first three calls I made turned into inspirational therapy sessions. Not for me, but for them! My experts were dealing with some serious shit and they needed council much more than I did.

Each call I made, it became obvious that it would have been selfish to even contemplate asking for help while they were clearly in the depths of trying to solve their own more serious problems.

Three hours later, I neded a Plan B. My go to maneuver when Plan A fails miserably, is to pivot and try new ways to win. I thought, maybe I can ask ChatGPT to brainstorm with me. It doesn’t have any personal problems!🙈

Holy shit! I met the greatest brainstorm partner of all time. So much so, I might need to rethink this whole “retire from being an entrepreneur” sentiment that I have been contemplating. 🤣 It’s incredible ability to offer up a half dozen expert solutions to every problem or opportunity I threw at it, was mind-boggling. And, it even managed to compliment me on every question I asked, as if I was a fucking genius for even thinking if the question! I thought this was very empathetic of it and avoided it make me feel good! 😎

ChatGPT - where have you been all my life?

Armed with my new brainstorming buddy on steroids, watch out! This might get savage! 

Key lesson: Over the last 48 hours, I had the most profound positive brainstorming experience of my life.

Summary: Woke up Tuesday with the most profound positive brainstorming experience of his life.
