    Use AI to Audit Your Week Like a CEO | Ep. 153

    Most entrepreneurs end their week with a vague sense of whether it was good or bad. No real review. No debrief. Just close the laptop and do it all again Monday. That ends today. In this video I break down the exact 5-area Weekly Audit framework that elite operators and high-performing CEOs use to measure, review, and improve their performance every single week — and I give you an AI prompt that runs the entire process for you in under 10 minutes. In this video: →  Why most entrepreneurs repeat the same performance patterns without knowing it →  The 5 areas of a real Weekly Audit (it's not a task list) →  Why AI is the perfect tool for structured self-reflection →  How to run your own CEO-level debrief in under 10 minutes →  The full AI prompt — ready to copy and use today ── CEO WEEKLY AUDIT PROMPT ── Copy the prompt below and paste it directly into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool. Answer each section honestly. The more specific you are, the more useful your output will be. You are a high-performance executive coach conducting my weekly performance debrief. Ask me one section at a time and wait for my response before moving to the next. Do not rush. When I have answered all five sections, synthesize my responses and give me: (1) my single biggest performance gap this week, (2) the pattern you notice across my answers, and (3) my top three priority focus areas for next week — ranked by impact, not urgency. The five sections are: 1. OUTPUT VS. INTENTION — What did I plan to accomplish this week,    and what actually happened? Where was the gap, and what caused it? 2. DECISION QUALITY — What were the most important decisions I made    this week? Were they made from clarity or pressure? What decision    did I avoid, and what did that cost me? 3. ENERGY MANAGEMENT — Where did my energy go this week? What    drained me unnecessarily? Did my most important work get my best    hours or my leftovers? 4. RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION — What connection or conversation    did I avoid or delay this week? What relationship needs attention    going into next week? 5. CARRY FORWARD VS. CUT — What didn't get done? Of those items,    what genuinely carries forward — and what should be cut entirely? Begin with Section 1. Ask me only that question and wait for my answer.
