I just wrapped a live workshop called ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐, and the whole point of it was to stop people from doing what most of us do first: jumping straight into a tool before we know what we actually need it to do.

Before any tool gets touched, you get clear on the recurring job you want handled, what goes in, what should come out, and what success actually looks like. Skip that step, and you get generic results and a loop of re-prompting that never quite lands.
To make that concrete, I built an ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ inside the session. Eight questions, answered live, and it produces a role brief you can hand straight to any AI. Then I walk through an ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ค๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐, pasting that brief into a fresh chat, asking for a first task, and showing how to redirect it when the first attempt isn't quite right, instead of starting over.

If you're 40 or over, running your own thing, and tired of AI feeling like one more moving target instead of something that actually works for you, this is a good place to start. AI Pathways Hub
