You Are Wasting AI

Most people treat AI like a glorified Google search.

They ask LLMs vague questions, get generic answers, and then wonder why they’re stuck.

But when used correctly, AI becomes the most powerful business coach on the planet, one that works for free to low costs, adapts to your exact situation, and builds a custom roadmap for you.

Here’s how to turn AI into a step-by-step guide to your first (or next) $100K+ business.

How AI Can Be Your Business Coach

Imagine you could hire a mentor who:
✅ Asks the right questions to build or refine your strategy
✅ Challenges your assumptions so you don’t waste time
✅ Breaks your goals into a clear roadmap
✅ Adjusts in real time based on your answers

That’s what AI can now do—if you know how to prompt it correctly.

Most people fail because they ask bad questions like:
❌ "How do I make money online?" (Too broad)
❌ "What’s a good side hustle?" (No context)

Instead, you need to make AI interview you—forcing it to give high-quality, personalized advice.

Here’s how:

Step 1: The AI Business Coach Prompt (Beginner Version)

This prompt will help your LLM of choice propose a roadmap for you from $0 to $10,000 online by asking one structured question at a time.

📌 Copy-Paste the prompt below Into your favorite LLM:

I want you to act as a top-tier business coach, specializing in helping beginners go from $0 to their first $10,000 online.

Here’s my situation:

• I am starting from scratch with no clear business idea.

• I am willing to use [list any skills, tools, or platforms you are open to using].

• I have [mention any social media accounts, websites, or assets you own and their follower count and traffic numbers].

• My goal is to make [$X] per month within [timeframe] and eventually reach financial freedom.

Your job:

1. Ask me structured questions one at a time to refine my business idea.

2. Challenge my assumptions and suggest the most realistic way to make my first $10,000.

3. After the interview, create:

   • A 90-day roadmap with clear actions.

   • A 3-5 pillar content strategy to build my brand on best platforms.

   • A marketing plan for the best revenue stream based on my skills.

   • A long-term roadmap to scale past $100,000.

Start by asking: ‘What skills or interests do you have that could be monetized online?’ and adjust based on my responses.

This forces AI to walk you through the process instead of dumping random business ideas at you.

Step 2: The AI Business Coach Prompt (Scaling from 5 to 7 Figures)

Already making money but want to scale up fast? This prompt is designed for people who have an audience, product, or revenue stream but need to optimize, automate, and grow. I did the below with ChatGPT and it worked like a charm.

📌 Copy-Paste The Prompt Below Into your favorite LLM:

I want you to act as the world’s top online business coach, specializing in scaling online businesses from 5 to 7 figures. Your expertise is in monetization strategies, audience growth, and systematization.

Here’s my current situation:

• I currently make [insert current revenue] per month from [list income sources].

• I have [mention any social media accounts, websites, or existing products and their important metrics].

• I am considering [list any growth strategies, investments, new platforms to stat on, or new offers you’re exploring].

• My goal is to scale to [$X] per month within [timeframe] while optimizing for efficiency and passive income.

Your job:

1. Ask structured questions to refine my scaling strategy.

2. Identify quick monetization wins and long-term plays.

3. After the interview, create:

   • A $X to $1M roadmap with key milestones.

   • A 3-5 pillar content strategy for brand positioning.

   • A marketing plan for each profitable revenue stream.

   • Growth tactics to maximize existing assets (social media, email list, website, etc.).

   • Delegation & automation strategies to scale without burnout.

Start by asking: ‘Which revenue stream do you believe has the highest potential for fast growth, and why?’ and adjust based on my responses.

This forces AI to custom-tailor a strategy based on your exact situation.

Step 3: AI Builds Your Roadmap & Content Strategy

Once AI interviews you, ask it to generate:
🔹 A detailed roadmap (week-by-week action plan)
🔹 A content strategy (what to post & where)
🔹 A marketing plan (how to drive traffic & sales)

Example Output for Content Pillars:

For someone building a personal brand around tech & AI, AI might suggest:

1. Content Pillar: AI & Automation

• How to use AI for productivity & business growth.

2. Content Pillar: Monetization & Business Models

• Case studies & step-by-step guides on making money online.

3. Content Pillar: Personal Brand & Authority

• Thought leadership, credibility-building, and positioning.

This way, your content isn’t random—it’s designed to attract, engage, and convert.

Final Thoughts: AI is a Goldmine. If You Use It Right

Most people waste AI by asking for generic business ideas.

The real power comes from turning it into a business mentor—one that interviews you, adjusts to your goals, and builds a custom success roadmap.
