How to Make Your First $1000 (3 Claude Prompts)

0:00I sold my first business for over $10 million at age 30, made the Forbes 30 under 30 list. My current business makes millions of dollars per year as a solo founder. This video I'm going to show you three Claude prompts to make money [music] fast starting with the first prompt. Based on everything you know about me, list every skill I've built, problem I've [music] solved, and audience I can reach without paying for ads. Now, most people brainstorms from zero. They ask ChatGPT, "What business should I start?" But that's why everybody lands on the same three generic ideas: drop shipping, a course, and agency. [music] What this prompt does is it flips the

0:34direction. Instead of starting from random ideas, it starts [music] based on everything AI already knows about you. It's going to consider the skills you currently have, problems you've already solved, and people you already have access to. Now, what you're going to do is open Claude or ChatGPT. This actually works in any AI tool, and type this prompt in there. If you don't have as much context built in yet, [music] you can add one little sentence to this prompt: "Ask me 10 clarifying questions." And that will get a really good discussion going so that AI has context [music] on your background, your skills, problems you've solved before,

1:11and the people you have access to. So, now instead of generic ideas, you're going to get ideas tailored [music] to your strengths. Now, prompt number two is all about trying to kill the ideas that we've just brainstormed. [music] The result of prompt one will be a really long list of different potential business ideas. Prompt two, [music] for each idea, tell me the assumptions most likely to be wrong, what the first 90 days actually looks like, and what kind of person quits [music] and why. At the end of this prompt, you're going to paste the list of ideas from [music] running the first prompt,

1:46okay? By default, AI is a cheerleader. Every idea is amazing, but that is a [music] problem because at the end of the day, you have to choose only one idea and commit to it for a long period of time, much longer than you think in order to actually build momentum and be successful. So, prompt number two turns AI into a sparring partner. For each idea, Claude or ChatGPT is going to question the assumptions around why you'd be successful with this idea. What are you missing? What are you not thinking about? It's going to illustrate what the first 90 days really looks like, and newsflash, it's boring most of

2:23the time. And the last part, what kind of person quits this business and why? Maybe you see yourself in some of the answers. Maybe this idea isn't the right one for you. And what you want to do, make sure you paste [music] that list of ideas from the first prompt. Paste it here so that Claude can evaluate every single idea. The output of running that second prompt is going to be this amazing list of ideas. But now Claude is going to score each one. Maybe this is five out of 10. Maybe this is six out of 10. [music] Maybe this is nine out of 10. And it's going to illustrate again

2:57what that first 90 day looks like and who quits. [music] So that you can read each one of these and honestly evaluate whether this is the idea that's right [music] for you. What we're trying to do is systematize the process of brainstorming different ideas, leveraging your current strengths, leveraging the people that you have access to today, [music] listing out all of those ideas. So don't

3:18cross any off yet from the first list. [music] But now the second prompt will help illustrate the pros and cons of each of these ideas. And most importantly, paints a very vivid picture [music] of what it looks like every single day. If the work sounds really boring to you, like just you really don't want to do it, hey, maybe that's not the right idea for you. But the point of this second prompt is to really dive into each idea, give it a fair shot, illustrate the strengths and weaknesses so that you can make a good decision. So, here's our third prompt that will help us choose

3:47the winning idea that we should stick to for a really long time. Score each idea on whether I can get a paying customer in 30 days, whether I'd still want [music] to do it, whether it uses what I already have, and whether failure is recoverable. Then tell me, out of all of the ideas we brainstormed in the first

4:10step, which one wins? And now we've applied these four filters [music] because it's really important to have some kind of win in your first 30 days as fast as possible. Generally, the people who [music] make it versus the people who don't, often times the people who make it just had a small win in their first 30 days and that encouraged them to keep going [music] and stick with it. Another filter is whether you actually enjoy [music] the work. That's important because if you fundamentally don't enjoy the thing you're doing every day, you probably [music] won't stick to it for the time frame you need to stick to it to get

4:46your first win. It's very true that you can come to love something after [music] it's successful. I see that all the time, right? Like people are not into this, but then it starts making money and suddenly they're super into it. But the key thing there is to get to your first win, your first paying customer, as fast as possible, ideally within the first 30 days. The third filter is whether this idea leverages assets and skills you already have. If you don't have an audience today, there are going to be a lot of business ideas that just don't make sense. Like you're going to struggle with them a lot because you

5:20don't have access to an audience today. And the fourth filter is whether failure is recoverable. You don't want to pursue an idea that has a huge upfront cost [music] and investment, and if it goes sideways, like you are negative, like you are seriously financially in trouble, okay? You You There are many other ideas you can pursue that are less risky, okay? You don't have to bet the

5:44farm on this one yet. [music] Then tell me which one wins, okay? So, this is the key part because we don't want to walk away with three ideas again. One of the most common mistakes I see with entrepreneurs is they try to pursue multiple business ideas at the same time. Might have idea one, idea two, and idea three. The problem is your resources and time is finite. We have the same 24 hours in a day. If this is a side hustle and you have a full-time job, you have even fewer than 24 hours in a day, right? If you have other commitments, if you're taking care of

6:16her kids or grandparents or any other commitments, you have far less than 24 hours in a day. And so, you what you don't want to do, the last thing you want to do is split up this 24 hours three ways, [music] so that your attention is split, right, between three different ideas. It's already hard enough making one idea work really well, especially in the beginning. You have to both try hard and keep trying for a consistently long time. And so, don't do this and said you want to take that full 24 hours you have and invest it into one [music] single idea. Stick to it for a

6:52very long time. A lot of people don't know this, but when I first started making content, I committed to it for five years. That was my time horizon. If [music] at the end of five years, I got no traction posting content on social media, then I would consider quitting, but only after five years of doing it every single day. People ask for the secret to success. I can tell you the secret to failure is trying to do multiple businesses at the same time with none of them taking off yet. So, this is the key part where having AI choose going through this process. Here all three prompts you talked about and

7:27one caveat as you go into this exercise. Just know that AI's answer will never be perfect, but it doesn't have to be, okay? Anyone who promises that you're going to make money is usually selling you something. So, what I want you to do is treat this exercise as something valuable, like a very smart friend who's watched you work. They're familiar with [music] what you're good at, what you like doing, and they're familiar with what communities and people you enjoy hanging out with, the people you have

7:53access to. [music] And their opinion is valuable. It's worth hearing, but it doesn't mean it's the final word. At the end of the day, you have to choose that one thing and commit to it for a sufficiently long period of time. The real win here isn't picking AI's answer. [music] It's that you stop collecting make money with AI videos and start building one idea. [music] Commit to it for a long time. These prompts work with any AI tool. I recommend choosing the one where you've had the most interaction and conversation, so that it has more

8:25context when giving you its answer. That's how you're going to get the best results. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this video, hit like, hit subscribe, and hit the notification bell, so you don't miss my next training.
