Welcome to the March 2023 update! This post is coming out a bit late, as I’ve been travelling around for meetings with my various business partners and team members, such as Steve, Sean (head coach of Kibo and 123 Profit), as well as Mark, CEO of Cartzy. I always find in-person meetings to be incredibly valuable. There’s just something about having a physical presence with like-minded members that you can’t get over a Zoom call.
Watch the video below where I talk about this, as well as Chat GPT, what I’ve been reading, The Growth Booth updates and more…
Here’s what else I’ve been doing lately:
Chat GPT and A.I. Technologies
I’ve been spending a lot of time with this new A.I. tool, and I truely believe this is one of those “disruptive technologies” that will shake up the entire Internet and how we live our lives. Just think about the emergence of social media with Facebook, the rise of Google, etc.
It’s not just for marketing, but for anything in your life! For instance, I used it recently to write a simple short story to read to my kids and to help them read. My son is currently big into Ninjago, a Lego animated series, so I also had Chat GPT write a 500-word story that he could read and learn himself.
It’s not just content creation, but also art (ie Midjourney and Dall-E), and many other new tools coming out. I believe we’re just touching the surface of what this technology can do, and it will be very interesting to see where it is headed.
Recent Reads
Here are some books I’ve been reading lately and that I mention in the video above:
Rework
This is a book written by the founders of Basecamp, a popular project management tool. Having software companies myself, it’s interesting to read about their journey and pick up some of the things that they have shared.
Traction
I’m about to start this book, as well as it’s sister book, Rocket Fuel.
I Will Teach You To Be Rich
I read this years ago, but love to revisit it every once in a while. As well, it gets regularly updated, and every time I re-visit a book like this, I get something new out of it. For instance, I do have a wealth manager I regularly communicate with, but books like these gives me extra perspectives and different points of views on investing strategies.
A Re-Focus on Health
I’m back in Argentina from New Zealand, arriving back about a month ago, and hit the reset button after six weeks of festivities. I got back into eating more healthy, getting back to a more regular schedule, and just getting back to being fit.
It’s not rocket science, it’s just common-sense strategies of eating well (good fuel), regular excerise and getting enough rest. I’m feeling a lot more energetic and focused now.
Niche Websites
This is how I got started online, way back in the day. For instance, I had a site on dog training, another site on World of Warcraft, and dozens of others. I still have most of them today, chugging along making a couple thousand dollars a month, and this is still one of the best ways to achieve pure, passive income. They rank on Google and make money without me touching them.
I’ve recently had some of my team go back to some of these sites and expand them, simply because it’s such easy money, and it’s fun. I plan on focusing more on this in the next couple weeks and months, and I think it’s a great plan to add a few thousand dollars to their income without investing a ton of money on, because it is free search engine traffic.
More on this in the future.
The Growth Booth
Here are some of the latest episodes from my podcast, TheGrowthBooth.com. You’ll notice that I changed the graphics up, making them more eye-catching and fun. I never try to sell you anything on these episodes, they are all informational and they are always touching on growing and building an online business.

I hope you found this update useful, and let me know what you think!
I’ve been dabbling with Chat GTP and MJ, and what’s neat is that you can use Chat GTP to create MJ images! So A.I. creating A.I. Wild times we’re in.
I heard there’s going to be a newer, 100X better version of Chat GPT to be released soon, like this week or the next soon! Exciting times!
I’ve been following your growth booth podcast for a couple weeks, lots of great stuff there! I tend to sabotage myself when trying to do things, thanks for that one with Brett on mindset.
I’ve been trying Chat GTP a bit, and I see the potential, but I definitely have to put my own creative spin on it afterwards. I have a young kid, never thought of having it write a book, I’ll try that, thanks!
Aidan another very timely piece when the ChatGPT V4 comes out… Also you may like to play and compare / contrast the Notion note taker app has its own AI built in and it was just released to public. They are utilising another AI tool on the background so it might be interesting to observe the results.
