How it works

From booking to your notes

  1. Book and pay. $197 CAD, one time. You pay on Stripe, a secure payment page.
  2. Send us a few times. Your session page asks which days and times suit you.
  3. We confirm one time by email. Within one business day. The Zoom link is in that email.
  4. You meet Jonathan on Zoom for 50 minutes. Just the two of you, on your task, at your pace.
  5. You get your notes. The next day, we email you notes with your next steps.

What to bring

  • One task from your business. Pick the job you keep putting off, like a reply to a tricky review or the words for a flyer.
  • A rough idea is enough. It doesn’t need to be ready. Not sure which task? Tell us what’s on your list, and we’ll pick one together.
  • Your Business Snapshot, if you made one. It’s the short summary of your business you can make with our free guide. It helps, but you don’t need it.

We focus on one main task. If we finish early, we’ll look at another.

Who it’s for

  • You’ve never used AI.

    Welcome. No tech skills needed, and no question is too basic. We go one step at a time.

  • You’ve tried ChatGPT, or made a Business Snapshot with our free guide.

    Welcome too. Now we work on one real task, so ChatGPT writes about your business, in your words.

  • You’re still planning your business.

    That’s fine. Bring the idea.

What it isn’t

  • It’s a learning session, not done-for-you work. We do your task together, so you can do the next one yourself.
  • It isn’t legal, tax or accounting advice.

Questions before you book

I’ve never used ChatGPT. Is this for me?

Yes. No tech skills needed, and no question is too basic. Jonathan, our guide, shows you each step, and you go at your pace. No ChatGPT account? You don’t need one for the session. If you’d like your own afterwards, he’ll show you how.

What happens in the session?

You start with your task. Jonathan shares his screen, and you work on it in ChatGPT together. You tell him about your business, and he shows you each step as you go. Stop him any time. Your camera can be on or off, whatever feels comfortable. Near the end, you look at what you can do next on your own.

What do I need?

A computer, tablet or phone with internet. A computer is easier, because you can see more at once. And bring one task. A rough idea is enough.

We’ll email you a Zoom link. Never used Zoom? That’s fine. You don’t need a Zoom account. On a phone or tablet, the link asks you to get the free Zoom app, so tap it the day before to set it up.

How do we pick a time?

After you pay, your session page asks for a few days and times that suit you. We confirm one by email within one business day. Sessions run Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time, and some evenings. Most sessions happen within a week or two of booking.

What if none of my times work?

We’ll offer you other times. If we still can’t find one, you get a full refund.

Can I move or cancel?

Yes. Tell us at least 24 hours before the session. Just reply to any email from us. Our email address is also on your session page. To move it, we’ll pick a new time with you. To cancel, you get a full refund. If we ever have to move it, you choose: a new time, or a full refund.

Something comes up on the day? Tell us as soon as you can. If you miss a session, we’ll offer you one new time, once.

Will it be recorded?

Only if you want it. If you say yes, we’ll send you the recording. It’s kept for 28 days, then deleted. You get your notes either way.

Does what I share stay private?

It’s a private call, just you and Jonathan. We use what you share only to help with your task and write your notes. Anything typed into ChatGPT goes to ChatGPT, the same as when you use it yourself. So we keep private details out of it. Please leave out passwords, card numbers, and private details about your customers or staff.

Will you do the work for me?

No. It’s a learning session, not done-for-you work. We do your task together, so you can do the next one yourself.

What if it doesn’t help?

Tell us. You can ask for a refund from your session page. A person reads every request, and we email you our decision within one business day.

I have a question that isn’t here.

Already have an email from us, like the one with our free guide? Just reply to it. If not, you can get our free guide, then reply to its email. We read every reply.
