No email, no account, nothing to download. These prompts are plain text, so they work in whatever AI app you already have — copy one, paste it, use it today. If this is useful, the full course is the paid version.
The expensive mistakes are the ones nobody thought to mention.
Paste this:
Here is my plan. Do not tell me it is good. Tell me what I have not thought of, what usually goes wrong with plans like this, what it will cost that I have not budgeted, and the one thing that would make the whole thing fall apart.
Give it the plan in whatever shape it is in — notes, a voice memo, half a page. Asking for holes gets you holes; asking for feedback gets you flattery.
A plan often carries numbers you would not share — what you pay people, what you owe, who your clients are. Take those out and the answer is just as useful.
Here is how I explain my service right now. Rewrite it for someone who has been burned by somebody in my trade before and does not trust anybody. Same facts, no jargon, nothing oversold. Then tell me which sentence in my original was costing me the sale.
That last question is the lesson. There is usually one sentence doing the damage.
This is sent to a company's servers. Take other people's details out first: names, account numbers, ID numbers, medical details, pay figures.
Nobody remembers what they agreed to. The recording does.
Paste this:
Here is the transcript of a meeting. Give me only two things: every commitment somebody made, with their name and the date it is due, and every decision that was reached. Leave out discussion, opinions, and anything that was not settled.
Record with your phone's voice memo app and most AI tools take the file directly. Get everyone's OK on the recording first — in some states telling them is not enough, you need them to agree.
Names have to stay in — that is the point of the list. So only do this with a meeting you would be comfortable forwarding, and strip out pay figures, account numbers and anything medical.
You already know what to post. A customer asked you this morning.
Paste this:
A customer asked me this question today. Give me five short social posts that each answer one piece of it, in plain language, for people who are not in my industry. No hashtags. No emoji. Each one under 60 words and each one has to be useful on its own.
The question people actually ask beats anything you invent at your desk. Keep a note on your phone of what they ask.
The answer is going to be public. Never quote the customer who asked, name them, or include anything that would let someone recognise them.
A good ad gets you fewer applicants. That is the point.
Paste this:
Write a job ad for this role. Be specific about the hard parts, the hours, and what would make somebody hate this job. Do not use the words rockstar, ninja, family, or fast-paced. The goal is fewer applicants who are a better fit, not more applicants.
Describe the role in your own words first, including the parts you would rather not admit. Those are the parts that filter.
Describe the job, never a person. Do not mention anyone's age, family situation, health, religion or country of origin — in a job ad that is not just rude, it is unlawful.
I have signed things I did not understand. More than once.
Paste this:
Here is an agreement someone sent me. In plain English: what am I agreeing to, what could cost me money that is not obvious, what happens if I want out, and what are the five questions I should ask before I sign? Do not tell me whether to sign it.
This is not a lawyer and it does not replace one. What it does is hand you the questions, so the call with the lawyer takes ten minutes instead of an hour.
A contract usually has another party's details in it. Black those out first. And this is not legal advice — it hands you the questions, it does not answer them.
One rule, always: take other people's information out before you paste — names, client and customer details, Social Security or account numbers, anything medical. Plenty of files you own still have other people in them; each lesson says what to remove.
One email every Friday with that week’s lessons, straight to your inbox. I write them. When one works for you, hit reply and tell me which — I read every one.
