As we navigate the challenging business environment, and continue to hunker down financially, and trying to make smarter money decisions, we wait for the tide to turn and the economy to lift.

In the meantime, this is an excellent time for learning new things.

For me, this has been a time to embrace and “chat” to ChatGPT. Late at night, I find myself down deep rabbit holes, “chatting” to a sophisticated search engine.

What occured to me though, is that although these “conversations” are thrillingly informative, and quenches a thirst for knowledge, it’s also stagnant and one dimensional, lacking in real engagement and relationship which we are all designed for.

It is relationships that I am most interested in and make it the centre-piece to my business; that one-to-one engagement, that conversation over coffee, that space where we can talk about the day-to-day experiences of running a business and my being in the “weeds” with you in your business.

During my “chats” with ChatGPT, I asked what the top 5 questions being asked about Bookkeeping. Over the next several weeks I will bring those questions and answers in my Newsletters and Posts on socials. Yes, the bones of my posts are from ChatGPT, but the flesh and the heart of the text is all mine.
