A Letter From The Future (That Made Me Ugly Cry)

Ever ask AI to write you a letter from your future self… and end up sobbing into your Dutch Bros Brownie Batter Mocha?

No? Just me, then? 🙃 

A couple of weeks ago, I attended an AI Vision Board workshop. It was inspiring, but honestly, I felt stuck.

I’m not naturally a “visualizer.” I’m practical. Analytical. I’m way better at looking backward, fixing what didn’t work, and optimizing for next time than dreaming big, abstract dreams about the future.

So, I turned to my digital BFF, ChatGPT, enabled the voice mode inside the My Secret High Performance custom GPT I created for my Bootcamp students and just started talking.

I asked ChatGPT to organize my rambling thoughts and help me visualize where I’m headed. What came out wasn’t just pretty words or Pinterest goals. It was so me, so real, so much like a divine slap in the face (the loving kind) that I just sat there and cried…like UGLY cried.

Not because I was sad. But because it made everything click.

So let me rewind real quick…

I’m a Business Manager, AI Strategist, and Enneagram 8 with a mild obsession for timelines, To Do lists, and color-coded Trello boards. I like a good plan, okay?

But what I needed this week was different, and if you read my newsletter from last week (Curious or Committed), you already know why.

So I used AI to help me see my future. Not a meticulously detailed five-year business plan, not a vision board full of vague vibes, but a feeling I want to embody. And ChatGPT nailed it!

Values-based
Strategy-aligned
Hyper-personal

And y’all… it wrecked me in the best way. It was like future-me pulled up in a minivan full of dreams and said: “Girl. Quit playing small. You know what to do. Let’s build it.”

Here’s the truth: You’re Not Using AI to Its Full Potential.

Most solopreneurs think AI is for blogs, captions, or spitting out hashtags.

Cute. But nah.

AI can be your:

• Strategic thought partner
• Digital assistant
• Launch planner
• Workflow optimizer
• Accountability partner
• Mirror for mindset & growth (be ready to ugly cry, though)

It’s why I teach solopreneurs how to use AI like a boss. 

Because it isn’t just about tools. It’s about transformation. Systems. Clarity. Breathing room.

Because when AI knows you and your business? That’s when magic (and margin) shows up.

Why the Vision Board + Future Letter Exercise Works

Before you can scale, you need clarity.
Before you can grow, you need belief.
Before you can act, you need direction.

AI isn’t just spitting back words.
It’s co-creating with you — faster than journaling, deeper than Pinterest, and way more specific than “visualize your best life” quotes on Instagram.

This is strategic manifestation with receipts.

Your Weekly Challenge:

Turn on voicemode and pour your heart out. Then ask ChatGPT to write you a letter from your future self, the you who’s hit that next-level goal. Then actually read it back to yourself (and maybe grab tissues).

Want to see a real example? I shared my AI Vision Board and future-self letter right here on LinkedIn. (Prepare your heart, it’s a ride!)

Let’s Wrap This Up With Some Honest Reflection

Overwhelm really is optional. 

Your business shouldn’t be built on chaos and caffeine alone. And AI? That’s your solopreneur cheat code.

So…What would your future self thank you for doing today? Better question, want me to show you how to ask? Book an AI for Business Curiosity Call and we’ll map out how AI can save you 10+ hours a week without adding chaos.

Let’s build the version of your business that’s already written in your heart.

And share this with a founder friend who needs a hug and a strategy (in that order).
