This AI prompt exposed my worst business habits

A few days ago, I stumbled across a powerful, introspective prompt for ChatGPT. Think of it as a way of turning AI into a psychologist/business coach.

I plugged this prompt into ChatGPT for kicks.

It identified some unsettling insights about my behaviors and my business.

The rather unsettling answer was something I'd expect to pay a psychologist a couple of $100 for.

The final output was several hundred words longer, but it’s too personal to share here (yikes!).

ChatGPT is great at identifying patterns, not just in data sets or content, but also about YOU.

It basically picked out some patterns I’d missed from the thousands of conversations I’ve had with it since 2023.

It’d take dozens of hours for a consultant to achieve this much awareness about you or your business. Perhaps that explains why this particular prompt is so powerful.

Of course, it's not much fun getting an output like this from ChatGPT, if I can't do anything with it. So, I used a lengthy follow up prompt which encourages ChatGPT to provide solutions via some 80/20 thinking.

ChatGPT gave me a personalized menu of things to try and also picked out some business projects I should kill.

If you want to get access to this multi-part prompt and how I use it, it’s not for the faint of heart.

But….

I've added it into Prompt Writing Studio.
