The Biggest AI Mistake Everyone’s Making

And how you can avoid it starting today.

August 16, 2025

Hey —

Most people are using AI completely wrong.
They treat it like Google with better grammar.

Ask a quick question, grab an answer, move on.
But here’s the problem: that’s not how you get results.

If you’re serious about building a business, saving hours every week, and making better decisions, you have to flip how you use AI.

Your Memory: Now instantly searchable

Limitless is the wearable AI that instantly captures, transcribes, and remembers every meeting, conversation, and brilliant thought you have - securely, seamlessly, and privately. Transform how you work, live and never miss a beat again.

The Shift That Changes Everything

Instead of:
“What’s the best way to grow my business?”

Try:
“Here’s my business model, my current bottleneck, and the resources I have. Give me three growth strategies. Then let’s refine them together step by step.”

See the difference?
You’re not just asking. You’re collaborating.

AI becomes a thinking partner, not a vending machine.

3 Rules to Make AI Work for You

  1. Give it context — AI is only as good as the details you share. Treat it like a new teammate you’re onboarding.

  2. Challenge the output — Don’t accept the first draft. Ask for counterarguments, weaknesses, and alternatives.

  3. Iterate — Every follow-up question sharpens the result. By the 5th round, you’ll be holding something 10x more valuable than round one.

A Quick Story

One of my readers wanted to create an online course.
She asked AI for an outline — and got a boring, generic list.

Then she tried my iterative method:

  • Shared her niche, audience pain points, and teaching style

  • Asked AI for 3 unique course structures

  • Pushed back on weaknesses

  • Refined until it matched her exact voice

The final course outline?
She sold 42 seats in the first week.

That’s the power of using AI the right way.

Before You Go

Think of AI like a conversation.
The better you train it, the more valuable it becomes.

So next time you open ChatGPT, don’t just ask. Collaborate.
That’s how you start building leverage that compounds.
