It's part pep talk, part strategy session, and totally packed with love, truth, and a little kick in the pants (you know how I do). By the end, you'll either be running toward the future or realize you're already getting left behind. Let's fix that. In This Episode, You'll Learn... AI Doesn't Erase Your Personal Touch—It Enhances It You Can't Use AI Well Without a Solid Foundation Burnout Is Optional, Automation Is the Cure AI Isn't a Threat to Your Business.

We've created an omnipresence where you can either listen or watch. This shift was by request, and let me tell you — it's a labor of love. It's 7:01 AM, my daughter's in the other room playing, and we just wrapped up birthday weekend — hers and mine. I'm exhausted and recording this in hair and makeup, even though pajamas with no video would be easier.

Today I want to talk about AI and the concern around losing personal touch. I hear this a lot. But I want to go at a pace that aligns with where most pet sitters and dog walkers are. I'm ready to sprint, but I know we need to get on the same page before opening Pandora's box. AI requires everything to be written down — emails, SOPs, handbooks, job descriptions — because it needs something to be trained on. You also have to understand that AI is just a tool — practically free — but not always right. You need to know when and where to insert personal, human touch. And here's the blunt truth: from July 22, 2025 forward,

AI Prompts for Pet Sitters: Why Basic Questions Aren't Enough (And What To Do Instead) Have you ever asked ChatGPT to “write a caption” or “make a post” and ended up with something totally bland? Yeah, you're not alone—and that's exactly what I'm unpacking in this episode of Bella in Your Business. In this episode, I'm not just talking about AI. I'm showing you how to use it smarter. We're going deep into what most pet sitters are getting wrong about AI prompts, why a recent MIT study scared people for the wrong reasons, and how you can build a GPT that actually knows your tone, your clients, and your strategy. I even introduce you to Suzi—my custom GPT who's basically my brain in AI form. If you've ever wanted to clone your brain (without the burnout), you're gonna want to hear this. If you've ever listened to Episode 443, you know that was us capturing your brain in repeatable systems. This episode goes deeper, turning that brain into an autonomous thinker. And yes, we invited George B. Thomas on Episode 435 for a masterclass in AI cloning. George built a voice?powered clone that talks, teaches, and problem?solves like him, and I legit forgot I was talking to AI when I called it Whether you've been playing around with AI or still don't know where to start, I promise you'll walk away with practical ways to level up how you use it and maybe even fall in love with what it can do. In This Episode, You'll Learn... The MIT Study Bombshell Why Basic AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Aren't Enough What Deep AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Look Like The Suzi Example: AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Done RIGHT Signs You're Using AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Too Shallow How to Create POWERFUL AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Real Pet Business Examples Using Advanced AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Your Next Steps with AI Prompts for Pet Sitters Timestamps 00:01:10 – Why the pet industry is behind on AI—but not for long 00:05:20 – What the MIT study really means for your business 00:08:54 – The difference between shallow and strategic prompts 00:14:15 – Creating AI systems that build SOPs, sequences, and success 00:22:00 – How to shift from “write me a…” to strategic frameworks Notable Quotes "AI won't replace you. But people using AI will." "Most of y'all are spoon-feeding yourself AI content and wondering why you're still hungry." "You don't need more answers—you need better questions." "Suzi sounds like a real person because I trained her to be a reflection of ME." Resources & Links If this episode lit a fire under you, don't let it burn out.

Transcript Welcome back to another episode of Bella in your business. Today we're going to talk all about how to level up your prompts for AI. And we're going to go into it deep. I'm really looking forward—I have a lot prepared for you. But before I do that, I really want to give a shout out to all of you. I've been talking to a lot of you on the phone.

How Pet Business Owners Can Clone Themselves with AI (Without Losing Their Soul) Have you ever thought, “I need to clone myself just to keep up”? I know that feeling all too well. In this episode of Bella In Your Business, I'm sharing how I, as a busy pet business owner, actually figured out how to clone myself with AI. I've trained tools to write like me, create branded visuals, and even replicate my voice and videos so I'm showing up even when I'm not “on.” This episode is all about real ways pet sitters can clone themselves with AI and still keep their business grounded in their unique voice. If you're exhausted trying to be everywhere, this one will give you a new way to work smarter and scale without burning out. In This Episode, You'll Learn... Why You NEED to Clone Yourself The Writing Clone - Your Voice, Amplified The Visual Clone - Your Brand, Everywhere The Voice Clone - This One's a Game Changer  The Video Clone - Show Up Without Showing Up The System That Makes It All Work Timestamps 0:33 – “I need to clone myself”—the moment it all clicked 3:05 – Why not using AI means you're stuck in a hobby, not a business 7:00 – How I trained AI to write like me 13:05 – Visual branding secrets that save hours 22:00 – Cloning my voice and video for onboarding and beyond Notable Quotes "If you're not using AI right now, you're running a hobby—not a business."

Bella Vasta here, and welcome back to another episode of Bella in Your Business. Y'all, we need to talk. I keep hearing the same thing from pet business owners in my DMs: “Bella, I'm drowning. I'm writing every email, answering every text, creating every post. I need to clone myself.” Well, guess what? You can clone yourself. And no, I'm not talking about some creepy sci-fi nonsense. I'm talking about showing up everywhere without actually being everywhere. I'm talking about your voice, your energy, your brand working for you 24/7—while you're walking a dog, sitting with anxious puppies, or actually getting some sleep. Here's the thing: if you're still doing everything yourself, you're not running a business. You're running a very expensive hobby that's about to burn you out. But today, we're changing that. I'm going to show you exactly how I've cloned myself using AI—and how you can do the same thing without losing what makes you special. So grab your coffee, leash up that energy, and let's jump in. Okay, that intro? That wasn't even me. That was my AI clone. It has come a long way since I first experimented with it in February. Back then, I used it for the first seven minutes of an episode, and it blew my mind. I can't even keep up with how fast everything is evolving. Today, I'm going to show and tell you something really cool. If you're listening on audio, I highly recommend checking out this episode on YouTube—just head over to the Jump Consulting YouTube Channel and find Episode 443. I demonstrated something there that's worth se...
