Do the following task #1: Summarize it into an engaging and shareable tweet thread. The thread should cover all the key points discussed in content.

Repeat task #1, but designed for a single social media share (not a thread), such as that would go on LinkedIn, Facebook or a non-YouTube platform. The post should be as detailed as the tweet thread.

Accelerate your success

No one is here to go slow. For the outstanding success you dream of, shuffling forwards just won’t cut it. So speed up. Take what you’re doing and just go faster. But how? Identify the leapfrog moves that will grow your business in record time.

Spot the signs

I have a theory that I’m not tuning in to the signs that are around me, for how I can speed up the growth of my company. Help me figure this out. Ask me off-the-wall questions, one at a time, about my customers, my industry, the advice I get from other people and my skills. Focus on the clear and simple messages their words and actions hold. Act from the belief that my next leapfrog moves are already right around the corner, I just need to identify them.

Act from abundance

I believe that acting from a mindset of abundance instead of scarcity will lead to more success. An abundance mindset is grateful, optimistic and believes there is more to go around. A scarcity mindset operates from lack, and believes in protecting what you have, and playing zero sum games. Create a 10 question quiz where, in multiple choice questions (with 4 options for each answer, ensuring there isn’t an obviously scarce or abundant option), you test which mindset I have right now. After I provide my answers, give me the results. Next, make an assessment and suggest ways I can act from abundance more often, until it becomes an identity and a habit.

Let go of the past

One by one, ask probing questions about my routine, friends, family, customers, and industry, to uncover where I could be succumbing to limiting beliefs, playing small, or doing things I have outgrown. Act from the belief that I can move forward with more speed if I let go of what is stopping my growth.

Find new mentors

I believe there are people I’m hanging out with who could have nuggets of wisdom to share, but I’m not asking them the right questions. Start by requiring me to identify my most successful acquaintances, then ask questions, one by one, to understand which parts of their journey and experience I should ask them about, related to mine. The aim is to uncover a leapfrog move, whereby I can strategically skip several smaller steps in my journey to success. After this, give me a list of 3 questions to ask each person to hear their story and learn their wisdom.

Set new goals

I want to set new goals. Start by asking me about my current goals, then dismiss them. Tell me in a direct way that they are far too small, and press me with questions, delivered one by one, that require me to create new, bigger goals. Do not stop pressing me on these goals until they are significantly more aspirational than before.

Find profitable startup ideas

ChatGPT can come up with business ideas fast. Using it is an advantage for any entrepreneur looking to start up or go in a new direction. Don’t waste its wisdom.

Ask me to describe them, then move to asking me what pains they have that I know about. After seven questions, provide a description of this audience and list their top 20 problems. My job is to pick the top three, which will form the basis of the next steps, which will be generating startup ideas. Do not generate any startup ideas until I say so.

Set your parameters

Now we will define the parameters that the business ideas we generate should comply with. Acting as a business analyst, ask me questions about what kind of startup I want to begin, with questions about its potential, location, delivery and industry. After 7 questions, create a set of 7 parameters (also known as rules or boundaries) that the business ideas we create must adhere to. Don’t create the ideas until I say, only the rules.

Solve the problem

Your task is to combine (i) the target audience description and (ii) the top three problems identified with (iii) the parameters outlined, to create 6 [add adjectives, e.g. innovative and exciting] startup ideas that solve one or more of the problems within the parameters. For each idea, the title should be a value proposition aimed at the target audience, followed by a short description of the startup and what it does.

Filter bad ideas

Let’s try a thought experiment. Your task is to combine (i) the target audience description and (ii) the top three problems identified with (iii) the parameters outlined, to create 6 terrible startup ideas. They should be really bad, with no chance of working. Have some fun with coming up with awful ideas and present them as a value proposition aimed at the target audience, followed by a short description of the startup and what it does.

Link ideas to revenue

From the ideas you suggested, let’s explore these ones further: [specify which you want to expand]. For each one, suggest the offer. Your task is to create a description of what is for sale, the absolute perfect customer, the reason someone should buy, and how it’s delivered in terms of time or other resources.
