Step 1: Start where you are today. Identify a result you have already achieved.

What is a result you have today?

• You’ve “built” something
• You’ve “mastered” something
• You’ve “overcome” something.

A “result” is an accomplishment—it’s the end of your story.

And to find the end of your story, look for the “verb” in your journey.

• Have your “run” a 5K?
• Did you “build” a daily writing habit?
• Did you “earn” a partner position in your law firm?

This is the topic of your transformation story.

Topic = {What’s a result you’ve achieved? "e.g. Run a 5K, Made partner, Built a daily writing habit"}

Target Audience = {Who do you want to help? "e.g. Remote Workers, Beginners, Founders"}

Once you are clear on your topic and your target audience, ask ChatGPT to brainstorm different types of transformations. There are 7 of them. Each one will offer a different perspective on your story.

Run the prompt and choose a transformation.

I am going to give you a topic and a target audience.

Your tasks is to list 7 different transformations the target audience is looking to make (10 words or less) using the 7 different types of transformations.

Use the format: "From {Current} to {Desire}"

Just give me the transformations without the labels.

Here are the 7 Transformation Types:

1. Material/Financial Transformation
2. Emotional Transformation
3  Physical Transformation
4. Behavioral Transformation
5. Knowledge/Skill Transformation
6. Relational Transformation
7. Belief Transformation

Understood?

Step 2: Fill in the “abbreviated” version of your backstory.

Remember, you are the storyteller!

The quality of the story ChatGPT tells depends on the guidance you provide. You have to do the work of unpacking the key elements in Justin’s framework for yourself. Otherwise, ChatGPT will fill in the gaps for you.
