The Best Questions I Asked ChatGPT in January
I ask Chat GPT a fair amount of guff on a daily basis but here’s the 5 best questions I asked ChatGPT in January—and the surprisingly useful responses I got!
Question: What’s the average amount of times successful millionaires fail in business before they become millionaires?
Answer:
Successful millionaires often fail multiple times before they achieve significant success. Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that:
• The average entrepreneur fails 3–4 times before succeeding in building a profitable business. Some estimates say it can be as high as 5–6 times.
• About 80% of startups fail within the first five years, so resilience is key.
• Billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson all had major failures before their big wins. Branson had multiple failed ventures, and Musk nearly lost Tesla and SpaceX.
• A survey of 500 millionaires found that 80% of them had experienced failure in their journey before hitting financial success.
The key takeaway: failure is almost a prerequisite for success. It’s about learning, adapting, and persisting.

Question: My favourite countries i've visited so far are Sri Lanka, Sardinia & Denmark. Where should i travel to next?
Answer:
Azores, Portugal – A stunning mix of lush landscapes, volcanic craters, hot springs, and rugged coastlines. It has a bit of that wild, untamed beauty like Sri Lanka, but with European charm.
Norway (Lofoten Islands or Fjords) – If you loved Denmark but want something more dramatic, Norway offers incredible fjords, coastal villages, and world-class hiking.
Corsica, France – If you enjoyed Sardinia, Corsica is its slightly wilder, more rugged neighbor, with stunning beaches, hiking trails, and French-Italian charm.
Japan (Kyushu or Shikoku) – If you want a mix of adventure, nature, and culture, these less-visited regions of Japan offer hot springs, scenic coastal trails, and incredible food.
Question: Give me 3 key habits that i should implement into my life to give me the best chance of being successful in business, relationships & health.
I already spend a lot of time reading, learning new skills, exercising, sleeping & eating good food - is there anything else?
Answer:
1. Deep Work & Strategic Thinking Time (Business & Creativity)
• Set aside at least 1-2 hours per week for uninterrupted strategic thinking. No distractions, no emails, no meetings—just focused work on high-impact tasks or long-term vision.
• Block time to solve problems, explore new ideas, or work on projects that will move the needle instead of just maintaining momentum.
• This will make sure you’re not just busy but actually progressing in business and personal projects.
2. Radical Ownership & Consistency (Relationships & Business)
• Take full responsibility for outcomes in your work and personal life, even when things go wrong. Own the results and focus on solutions.
• Build a reputation for being consistent—whether in friendships, business commitments, or personal development. Trust comes from showing up, delivering, and doing what you say you’ll do.
• This applies in relationships too—be the person who checks in, follows up, and makes an effort, even when life gets busy.
3. Active Recovery & Adaptability (Health & Longevity)
• You train hard, but how well do you recover? Implement mobility work, stress management, and adaptability training into your routine.
• Try things like yoga, breathwork, sauna/cold therapy, or meditation—not just for physical recovery but also for mental resilience.
• Being adaptable in your health will keep you injury-free and high-performing while also helping you stay mentally strong under pressure.
If you apply these three—deep work, radical ownership, and active recovery—you’ll operate at a higher level in business, relationships, and health while staying sustainable in the long run.
