I developed an app (with Glide + Airtable + AI) to support a program for entrepreneurs called "Entrepreneurship Unleashed". In this program, participants learn to identify and confront their limiting beliefs. The app includes a questionnaire covering 10 domains crucial for entrepreneurs. However, my aim was not just to have participants fill out this questionnaire, but also to provide them with a score and insights into their individual challenges. This facilitates connections among participants who face similar challenges or those who have overcome these challenges and can offer advice. The questionnaire, accessible through an app created with Glide, allows participants to easily answer questions and view others' results. It also enables them to revisit their own responses later to track changes over time.
A key challenge was ensuring participants actively engage with identifying their beliefs in their daily professional and personal lives. To address this, I added a section in the app where participants can add new beliefs and associate them with one of the 10 mindset domains. All added beliefs are visible to participants, who can personally indicate whether they have internalized these beliefs using learned methods. All new beliefs are stored in Airtable and linked to the corresponding mindset category and the individual who added them. This provides me with insights into the challenges my participants face and who is actively engaging with the process, enabling me to encourage others to participate. For the participants, the app offers a convenient way to keep track of the beliefs they want to work on, accessible on their mobile phones.
Another challenge for the students is learning to identify the beliefs necessary to change their behavior and feelings in certain situations. Previously, they would sketch out a situation and ask for belief suggestions via email or WhatsApp. Now, I've added an "ask AI" section to the app where they can record a situation. The recording is converted to text by AI, which they can edit or add to. Then, they can request the creation of 10 empowering beliefs using a specific prompt, receiving beliefs that help them think and act differently. Additionally, they can request three motivational quotes with explanations for extra support during challenging times.
My students are incredibly enthusiastic about this feature. It offers them extra support between sessions, teaches them how to create beliefs, and provides continuous inspiration. For me, it adds new cases to my database in Airtable and provides insights into their challenges, allowing me to tailor my training more effectively. Initially, I used this approach with a small group of entrepreneurs, but now that it's proven effective, it will be further commercialized as a complement to a book I am writing on the power of beliefs.
