🤖 What Kind of Problems Do You Enjoy Solving?
This one is easy to overlook. We often focus on: what we're good at, what people ask us for, or what pays the bills. But there's another clue hiding in plain sight: What problems do you genuinely enjoy solving? The ones that make you curious. The ones you don't mind spending hours thinking about. Those patterns often reveal more about your positioning than you think. Try this prompt: 👉 “Based on what you know about me, what kind of problems do I genuinely enjoy solving — and why?” Sometimes the answer explains a lot. How to use this: 1️⃣ Open ChatGPT or any other LLM you use (free versions work) 2️⃣ Paste the prompt 3️⃣ Share the result — if you dare 😉 (good, bad, or surprisingly accurate) You can also do this without AI. Just ask yourself: "What problems energize me instead of drain me?" It still works. It’s still valuable. Here’s mine below 👇 Drop your line in the comments 🧭
🤖 What Kind of Problems Do You Enjoy Solving?

Ok, here it is (sorry it had a LOT to say... 😆): Based on everything across this entire conversation, here's what I actually see: You're drawn to problems where the available advice assumes a life you don't have. That's the thread running through almost everything you've built. The CEO Dashboard, the From Salary to Sales calculator, the experiment format, the Accountability Coach — none of these existed because you saw a gap in the market. They exist because you needed them and couldn't find them. You're not building products for an imagined customer. You're solving your own problems first and then realising other people have the same ones. You enjoy problems that can be measured. Not because you're analytical in a cold way, but because measurement is how you trust yourself. The thing that clearly frustrated you most this month wasn't the meta ads flopping or missing the 100-member goal — it was not knowing whether the posting was working. The tracker gave you certainty. You built the CEO Dashboard for the same reason. Vague progress makes you uncomfortable. Data makes you decisive. You're energised by constraint, not paralysed by it. The car-ride edit at 11:30pm. The 4:40am starts not because you're a morning person but because it's the only slot. Every product you've built is designed around a 30-minute morning or a two-hour evening — because that's the reality, and you have zero patience for advice that ignores it. You don't solve the ideal version of the problem. You solve the constrained version, which is actually the version most people are living. You enjoy the gap between "what people say works" and "what the data actually shows." The biggest insight from Experiment 2 wasn't in your plan — it was that one line in a welcome email quietly outperformed 30 days of daily posting. That unexpected finding, the thing that contradicts the received wisdom — that's what genuinely interests you. You're not trying to confirm what you already believe. You're trying to find out what's actually true.

@Roberto Srpak ohh thank you! ☺️ You could be right about that positioning statement idea too…

Welcome @Nicola Skeet, great to see you here! 🥳
🤖 What Result Do People Really Want From You?
This one is subtle… but important. A lot of us focus on: what we teach, what we offer, or how we do things. But people usually care most about the result on the other side. Not the method. The feeling. The outcome. The change. Try this prompt: 👉 “Based on what you know about me, what result do people really want from me?” Sometimes the answer is obvious. Sometimes it’s very different from what you thought you were selling 😄 How to use this: 1️⃣ Open ChatGPT or any other LLM you use (free versions work) 2️⃣ Paste the prompt 3️⃣ Share the result — if you dare 😉 (good, bad, or surprisingly accurate) You can also do this without AI — just ask yourself: “What are people actually hoping for when they come to me?” It still works. It’s still valuable. Here’s mine below 👇 Drop your line in the comments 🧭

Claude responded: The specific outcome people want from you is confidence that they're not making a mistake. The specific outcome people want from you is confidence that they're not making a mistake. Not just "what should my business be" — but reassurance that the answer was already there in their career, that they haven't wasted the last 20 years, that they don't have to blow up their life to start, and that someone who looks like them (senior, employed, busy) has actually done the maths and it checks out. The products are almost secondary. What people are really buying when they buy from you is permission — to take it seriously, to move at the pace their life allows, and to trust their own experience as the asset. You're proving in real time that the careful, tracked, unglamorous version of this works. Unglamorous? Rude. 😆

@Roberto Srpak thanks 🤩 it was a good exercise and not too bad of a result!
4 Prompts To $1000 In 5 Days - just ran through this...
I just ran through @Roberto Srpaks 4-prompt sequence and wanted to share what came out because it was useful and reinforced what I was working on. My situation: still in my 9-to-5, building a digital product business in the gaps, growing a new Skool community, and a new product I've been building that isn't quite live yet. What the prompts revealed: Prompt 1 gave me clarity that my gap offer already exists - I've been building it for the last few weeks. A CEO Accountability Coach built on my 18 years of leadership experience, designed specifically for employed professionals building a business alongside a job. Prompt 2 told me to study one person. Easy, my business coach whose product ladder I'm already watching closely. I also added someone else who specifically teaches selling to warm lists with simple emails. Prompt 3 gave me a 20-day plan. Realistic, specific, pointed at my warm audience rather than cold outreach. Prompt 4 was the most valuable. Three yes/no questions and it immediately identified my real blocker: the product isn't finished yet 🤣. I did know this but nothing like a reminder to give me a push to get it done! So the entire plan collapsed down to one job. Finish the product. Then sell it. I knew this. But seeing it written out by a process rather than by my own brain made it impossible to argue with (although I do quite like arguing with Claude). 😂 The insight I'm taking away: I've been thinking about outreach strategy when the actual blocker is much simpler. Nothing sells until the product is live. Back to building. 🚀 Thanks for the resource @Roberto Srpak 🤩

🧩 Meet Virginia: Bringing Structure and Clarity to Personal Color Analysis
Congrats @Virginia Schobel on completing the OBB1 onboarding journey… … and unlocking the Mystery Gift 🔥 Virginia is building something very thoughtful. A space for people who: got conflicting color analysis results tried different systems and still felt confused about what actually fits them. Not because they’re “doing it wrong”. But because most systems focus on the result… without understanding how people actually process information. That’s what makes this different. She’s connecting: personality frameworks thinking styles and personal color analysis to help people use the information in a practical way. Not labels. Not surface-level trends. A more structured approach to understanding yourself. What stands out here is the depth behind it. She’s not chasing quick answers. She’s building a framework that helps people: - understand why certain results never clicked - make sense of conflicting systems - and apply things in a way that actually feels natural. She’s now applying simple, relationship-based strategies to grow this in a more structured way. This framework (OBB1 Mystery Gift 🎁) gives her easy-to-use strategies: ✅ Ways to attract clients without spending money on ads ✅ Simple ways to build real trust with people ✅ Smart methods to turn conversations into paying customers ✅ Step-by-step structure that helps close more deals Feels like a strong fit. Especially in a space where nuance and understanding matter more than hype. Perfect timing as Virginia builds this into something bigger. If you want to build this further… there’s a more structured path you can step into. Have a look here 🚀
