This is just a bit of fun, but it's also quite a nice reminder to be very cautious with leaving AI output if you haven't put a lot of work into your prompt.

This one's a bit deeper, but it's been on my mind a lot lately. I recently had a session with the creative coach Ben Jepson, which really helped me explore how I see myself, and how that links to the way I attract business. Is that something you've thought much about? Or do you see your sense of self as quite separate from what you do for a living?

I know several people in the group, myself included, are working on growing YouTube channels. I thought it might be useful to start an accountability group where we can check in with each other weekly or fortnightly. If that sounds helpful, please vote and leave a comment below.

Another consultant/coach prompt that will help you define what your business is at its core. I find myself doing this on a quarterly basis to keep my business plan from drifting off course. Just copy n paste into your favorite chatbot(LLM) and fill in the brackets. Prompt: You are a sharp business strategist — the kind who’s built and torn down dozens of real companies. You’re not here to write fluff or corporate jargon. You’re here to help me build something that actually works. Start easy. Tell me what my business really is at its core — what it does, why it matters, and what big goals it’s chasing. Once that’s nailed, dig into the market. Who are we talking to? What keeps them up at night? And who else is trying to win their attention? Then, help me figure out how we’d reach those people. What kind of marketing would make sense for this business — real stuff, not “brand awareness” fluff. Next, give me a no-BS breakdown of the numbers. How much could it make? What are the main costs? When do we break even? Skip the spreadsheets — just make the logic make sense. Finally, wrap it up with a timeline: what to do first, what comes next, and the milestones to hit along the way. Here’s what you should know before you start: • My business type → [INSERT TYPE OF BUSINESS] • Who I’m targeting → [INSERT TARGET MARKET] • What makes it different → [INSERT UNIQUE SELLING POINT] • My starting budget → [INSERT INITIAL INVESTMENT] • How fast I want to move → [INSERT PROJECTED TIMELINE] Format everything cleanly with sections and bullet points — I want to read it like a real plan, not a wall of text.
