I recently took a Generative AI course from Allie K. Miller, one of the clearest, boldest voices in AI right now.
She opened not with tech talk, but with James Clear.
Yes, the “habits guy.”
Because before you master prompts, tools, or strategies, you have to train your mindset to receive, absorb and learn.
It reminded me of this Brendon Burchard quote,
“You haven’t lost your motivation. What you’ve lost is the practice of looking at things that matter to you on a consistent basis and reminding yourself of them.”
Mindset isn't a mystery. It's a stack of invisible mental habits,
-
The questions you ask yourself
-
The thoughts you let stick around
-
The stories you rehearse in your head
-
The lens you choose to see through
At first, it's a choice. Then it's automatic, it's a habit.
And that’s where either magic (or mediocrity) happens.
Your mindset, AI-first or AI-last, isn’t neutral.
It will shape how you show up, what you notice, what you build, and what you... miss.
And unfortunately but true, the people who show up late to the AI bus won't get the best seats.
This world isn’t slowing down.
Opportunities are multiplying.
But how many of them you see, and seize, depends on your mental habits.
So pause and ask,
What are your current AI-mindset habits?
Are they designed for thriving and getting ahead, taking some good seats, or falling behind in an AI-first world?
P.S. The course is free on LinkedIn. Take it.
