Dear Creatives,
Have you ever felt like there just aren’t enough hours in the day?
Whether it’s researching new galleries, planning what to post on one of many platforms, or managing client deadlines, the list of to-dos seems never-ending. That’s where ChatGPT has stepped in for me.
Think of it as the personal assistant you’ve always wanted—but without the cost. It works 24/7, helps me organize my day, brainstorm ideas, and even handle challenging emails.
In 2025, AI tools like ChatGPT are going to become essential for businesses. Here’s why:
They save time. Automate repetitive tasks and focus on what you do best.
They fill gaps. Whether it’s skills you’re developing or just a lack of time, AI can bridge the gap.
They amplify creativity. Use tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm new ideas, refine your content, and make your business run smarter.
So why should YOU use it? I️ hear you thinking, “well I️ am a creative and isn’t going to take away my creative touch or brand message?” Not if you treat it like an assistant instead of a crutch.
Hear me out, odds are you work alone or have a small team. I️ bet you want more help. Why not use a free tool that can act as that help? It can step in and do the things that an assistant would otherwise handle.
From automating tasks like transcription or video editing to creating stunning visuals or filling gaps in your skills, AI lets you work smarter, not harder. Think of it as your secret weapon to stay ahead of the curve while everyone else is still catching up.
Now, how do I use it to run my 3 businesses? Here’s where it gets juicy…
