From asking questions to running his business with AI

Case Study

Frank L.'s Private AI Implementation Intensive

Frank came to me using ChatGPT the way most people do: one question, one answer, start again. Five personalized sessions later, he had an organized AI system built around his real business, and the confidence to keep using it on his own.

"The training exceeded my expectations. I now feel comfortable using ChatGPT on my own, and when I do not know how to do something, I know how to ask ChatGPT for help."

Who Frank is

  • A business owner with a new operation to get off the ground
  • Research, suppliers, spreadsheets, reports and a steady stream of email, all landing on him at once
  • Already using ChatGPT, but mostly like a search engine

The challenge

Before we started, Frank's week looked like this:

  • Finding suppliers and materials, and chasing down information
  • Keeping spreadsheets current by hand
  • Pulling everything together into updates other people could actually read
  • Research that could eat days at a time

He knew AI could help. He did not have a system for it.

How the intensive worked

  • Before day one: Frank ran a discovery prompt I sent him inside his own ChatGPT. It interviewed him one question at a time about what he actually does all day, then produced two documents: a preparation brief and an AI opportunity map of his work. So session one started on his real tasks, not on setup.
  • The sessions: In person, on the water in Isla Mujeres. I taught it, showed him once, then he did it on his own work while I sat beside him. Homework between sessions.
  • The schedule: We planned five days in a row. Frank asked for a day between sessions to absorb it, so we moved to every second day. In his words: "We adjusted the schedule to every second day, and that worked much better for me."
  • After: A follow-up meeting the following week to fix whatever had not stuck and lock in what had.

What we built together

All of it lives in Frank's own ChatGPT account, not mine.

  • An organized ChatGPT workspace: separate Projects for each area of his work, each with its own instructions, so nothing gets tangled together
  • A voice blueprint: so his AI writes the way he actually writes
  • Plugins and connectors: his tools connected to his AI where it made sense
  • The Boardroom: a panel of AI advisors he can run a decision past before he makes the final call
  • Fast marketing creation: a quick way to turn an idea into marketing content
  • A prompt and instruction library built around his business
  • A method for catching AI when it is wrong, before he relies on the answer
  • A printed personal playbook he wrote in all week and kept

"The most valuable part of the training for me was learning how to use Projects properly, including prompts, project instructions, and the different supporting areas within a Project. I can already see that using ChatGPT this way in my business will save me a tremendous number of hours."

The results

  • Confident on his own: "I now feel quite comfortable using ChatGPT on my own, both for my business and for many other situations."
  • He knows how to get unstuck: "Perhaps just as importantly, when I do not know how to accomplish something in ChatGPT, I now know how to ask ChatGPT itself for help."
  • Real time savings: "Learning how to properly use Projects, prompts, and instructions has already made a significant difference in how I work and will save me a tremendous amount of time."
  • One timed email, before and after: On day one, Frank wrote a typical email in 3 minutes 57 seconds. After the intensive, an equivalent email with his new setup took under 20 seconds.

What it was worth to him

When I asked Frank what these results were worth, he told me he would easily have paid $2,500 USD for them.

In Frank's words

"Chantal is an excellent ChatGPT instructor. She has a deep knowledge of ChatGPT, but more importantly, she knows how to explain it in a way that a novice can understand.

She was patient, well prepared, and tailored the training directly to my business and how I wanted to use ChatGPT. Learning how to properly use Projects, prompts, and instructions has already made a significant difference in how I work and will save me a tremendous amount of time.

The training exceeded my expectations. I now feel comfortable using ChatGPT on my own, and when I do not know how to do something, I know how to ask ChatGPT for help.

I would certainly recommend Chantal to anyone who wants practical, customized ChatGPT training."
