3 Prompts That Will Blow Your Mind

I remember sitting in a coffee shop one day, staring at my screen.

I had an “administrative” problem—something to do with taxes and my company’s activities.

The kind of issue where paperwork piles up, and the government website (in French, no less) seems designed to confuse you.

I had no idea where to start. I considered paying for legal advice.

Then I realized I had a tool right in front of me.

I opened ChatGPT.

What happened next was… surprising. Within minutes, I had clarity I didn’t expect. The AI broke the issue down like a seasoned expert, guiding me through the process in a way that made it all feel… simple.

Of course, you have to be careful with legal matters. But the initial clarity it provided helped me focus my research and solve the problem faster.

That’s when it hit me: this thing might actually be smarter than an expert.

Maybe I don’t need to hire one for everything anymore.

Here’s the truth.

The tools we have today are incredibly powerful, but most people don’t know how to use them.

(Imagine an average medieval person in front of ChatGPT!)

Let me show you how.

Here are 3 prompts that turn ChatGPT into a laser-focused expert, each one designed to take your thinking to the next level.

1. The Golden Circle: Go Deep, Fast

When you need to break down the why, how, and what of an idea, Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle is legendary. ChatGPT-o1 excelled in doing this for any topic.

Here’s the prompt:

This will turn a vague (or any) idea into something powerful that you can use for any task.

2. Build a Business Model

Building a business model is one of the toughest challenges for any entrepreneur. It is necessary but far from final. It will change a dozen times a year, especially at the start.

But having one brings clarity. Clarity cuts anxiety and noise, which sharpens your focus.

I use GPT-o1 to create multiple iterations and test business ideas in minutes.

Here’s how to prompt it:

Suddenly, you have a structured way to think through everything that makes a business successful. It will break down your vision into clear, actionable parts and challenge your ideas.

3. Make Smarter Decisions: Enter the Decision Tree

Decision-making can be a minefield. When you’re caught between multiple options, it’s hard to figure out what’s right. You weigh the pros and cons, but things still feel uncertain, and it's time-consuming...

Life is short. I use GPT-o1 to guide me through data-driven choices. I drag and drop data and prompt it.

Try this:

The decision tree simplifies your thinking. It shows you where each choice leads, which one holds the most potential, and why. It’s like having an expert right there, showing you the path.

The next time you face a problem, remember this: you have an advisor in your pocket that costs $20 per month. An average consultant with the same outputs used to cost $1400 a day!

These prompts are your toolkit.

All you need is a question, a little curiosity, and these three prompts to unlock the answers.

Use them.
