The 3 Modes · Your Action Plan
One task to do faster. One decision to pressure-test. One thing to create. Fill it in on your phone - you keep it.
Almost everything on your plate is one of two things. List a few real tasks and tap how each one leans - manual power (repeatable, low-judgment) or brain power (thinking, deciding, weighing). This sort becomes your action plan.
For each mode: the task, the first step, the day this week. You don't need all three - start where it's obvious.
A task it can take off your plate.
Three files that tell AI who you are, where you work, and how you sound. Set it up once and every prompt after works on the first try.
Fastest way in: open Claude or ChatGPT, paste the prompt below, and let it interview you one question at a time.
Help me build my about-me file. It is a short operating manual that tells any AI how I work, so it stops giving me generic answers. Ask me one question at a time, wait for my answer, then ask the next. Cover my role, my business, who I serve, what is on my plate, what good work looks like to me, and how I want things written. When we are done, write the file back to me as clean markdown I can save.
If you opened one page each morning, what would it show you? Write down 3 to 5 things — don't worry about how yet.
A real call it can pressure-test.
One prompt. The seven people you cannot afford to hire, on the same decision, then one recommendation. You stay the decision-maker the whole time.
You are my board of advisors for [my business + what I sell]. For every question or number I give you, respond with exactly seven perspectives, one from each role: CFO (cash, margin, cost to run) · Head of Marketing (who hears about it, how we sell it) · Operations Lead (what breaks when we get busy) · My Best Customer (would she actually want this) · Skeptical Banker (where the numbers do not hold) · People & Culture (who does the work, what it costs them) · Legal & Risk (contracts, liability, what we are promising) Then synthesize: the core issue, why it matters most right now, the next actions and priorities, and a clear recommendation…what to do, how, and why.
Tip: paste your real numbers right after the prompt and let all seven weigh in. This is your mastermind, on demand.
An output it drafts so you skip the blank page.
One talk, one win, one update — and you write it five times: the LinkedIn post, the captions, the newsletter intro, the website blurb. Give AI the input once, with your vault loaded, and ask for all of them.
Here is one piece of content I already made: [paste a talk, a post, a case study, whatever you have]. Using my role and my writing style, turn it into four things: a LinkedIn post, three short social captions, a newsletter intro, and a one-line website blurb. Keep it tight and in my voice.
Turn inspiration into one concrete pilot: one mode, one outcome, one first step.
Not what you could build — what you will. This is what we cover at the Lunch & Learn.
