Most people ask ChatGPT one vague question about business ideas and get generic advice back. When you chain the right prompts together, ChatGPT turns into a full co-founder - it picks the business, plans the first week, anticipates where you'll quit, and writes your opening sales message for you.
The plan · 4 steps
Run the 4 core prompts in order, in one continuous chat. Each one feeds the next. Once you finish the core four, use the bonus prompts wherever you're stuck.
Important: Before Prompt 1, spend 2 minutes telling ChatGPT about your skills, your time, your network, and what you've tried before. The more it knows, the sharper the plan.
The 4 Core Prompts
Prompt 1 - Find the Business You Can Actually Start
Most people quit before they start because they pick a business that needs money or skills they don't have. This forces ChatGPT to pick something you can do today.
Prompt 2 - Get the Exact First 7 Days
Ideas are cheap. Execution is where most people die. This turns the concept into a day-by-day playbook.
Prompt 3 - Predict How You Will Fail
Every business dies in the first 30 days for 2 or 3 predictable reasons. This surfaces yours before they happen.
Prompt 4 - Write the Exact First Message
The hardest thing is sending the first message. This writes it for you.
