But for some of us, it feels like a brick wall of pressure disguised as encouragement. I wanted to start. I had the ideas. I had the passion.

Use your voice, your goals, and a simple prompt to unlock real results. I used to think you had to be tech-savvy or know the right words to talk to AI. Now I know the truth: You just have to know yourself —and be willing to share that with ChatGPT. Once I learned how to talk to Chat like a friend—one that really wants to help me meet my goals—I went from overthinking everything to finally sharing my work with the world .
