Nowadays, the attitude towards AI is negative, ranging from concerns about data centres to worries about job displacement. These concerns are valid, but at the same time I feel we undermine the possibilities that AI has afforded us. I believe that as times change, the excuses are also changing. If you have a device with internet access, I am talking to you. Not knowing how to code is not an excuse. Not knowing how to do research is not an excuse. Not knowing how to do calculations is not an excuse. And the list could go on. The point is the playing field has changed, and AI is only going to get better. I believe we are entering a new era of creation. If we learn to effectively use AI, it can allow us to pursue our ambitions and create impact. With the rapid automation of tasks, it can free us to create our own path in life that not only benefits others but that we enjoy.

All I Ask for is 30 Days Challenge

The ability to turn an idea into a mission is powerful, and if you execute that mission, you have found your unique formula for great impact. That’s what this challenge is about. Steve Ferrante once said, “Success is like a snowball… You have to get it going and the more you roll in the right direction, the greater it gets.” You see, the goal of this challenge is to create something meaningful; it does not have to be massive. Day 1 is the equivalent of you rolling a snowball at the top of the hill. After 30 days, I don’t expect the ball to have reached the bottom, but I expect it to be bigger and heading in the right direction. You may hit rocks along the way, but you must pick yourself up, get back on track and keep going! You’ll reach the bottom one day, only if you start. So here are the rules.

1. UPLOAD THE MASTER PROMPT TO AN AI CHATBOT (e.g Gemini/Chat GPT/Claude), YOU WILL USE ONE MAIN CHAT, IDEALLY.
2. SHARE WITH AI ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY. ANONYMIZE PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS, SUMMARIZE SENSITIVE FEEDBACK, AND NEVER UPLOAD PRIVATE INFORMATION BELONGING TO SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT PERMISSION.
3. ONE IDEA – you will work on turning an idea into a mission and start acting on it. If you don’t have an idea you want to pursue, you’ll be helped in thinking of one based on your interests and skills. Even if your idea is broad, it’s a starting point.
4. DEADLINE – You have 30 consecutive days to commit to the challenge; it starts the moment you upload the prompt.
5. MINIMAL SPEND – You may use tools and access you already have. Ideally, you don’t want to be spending money; if you must try, limit it to $30 MAX.
6. AI IS A CAPABILITY, NOT AUTHORITY – Use it to research, teach, calculate, design, build and challenge. You remain responsible for decisions and consequences.
7. NO PRODUCTIVE AVOIDANCE – More planning, branding, or feature generation does not count when the next uncertainty requires external action.
8. PROGRESS – Do something every day, even if you spend as little as 30 minutes a day
9. ACCOUNTABILITY – Have someone you share your daily progress with
10. REFLECTION – At the end of the challenge, you are to write a short piece/short video on what you’ve learnt through the challenge. Pass on your wisdom; it could help someone.

I am testing out this challenge before, I make it widespread, you can follow my test run for the next 30 days. If all goes well I will expand the audience of this challenge by taking it to Instagram.
