ChatGPT has fundamentally changed the way businesses operate, offering unprecedented opportunities to get ahead of the competition. However, many entrepreneurs still rely on outdated prompts, missing out on the full potential of AI. Drawing from five years of experience launching companies, building internal tools, and mastering AI prompts, here are six essential ChatGPT hacks that can help you blow up your business, even if you are just starting out.
The first step to leveraging ChatGPT effectively is to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus. This upgrade costs just a few dollars a month—less than a typical lunch meeting with your team—and offers significant benefits:
If your goal is to buy back your time and increase efficiency, investing in ChatGPT Plus is a no-brainer. It provides the foundation for all the advanced hacks discussed here.
To get personalized and highly relevant responses, you need to create a master prompt tailored to every role in your business. For example, as a CEO, you should document everything about your company:
This master prompt acts as a baseline, enabling ChatGPT to draft playbooks, analyze financials, stress test product ideas, propose hires, score candidates, and generate strategies aligned with your goals. The key to success is sequencing—ensuring ChatGPT understands your context to provide actionable, personalized answers.
System prompts are detailed, structured instructions that guide ChatGPT to perform specific tasks reliably. They are the future of intellectual property and can automate significant parts of your business.
Using these keywords will dramatically improve the quality and relevance of ChatGPT's responses.
Managing your business through projects in ChatGPT helps maintain context and improves output quality.
This compounding context approach ensures that every chat within a project builds on previous information, enhancing accuracy and relevance.
Custom instructions allow you to set default behaviors and preferences for ChatGPT at the account level, effectively making it your company’s brain.
For example, you can instruct ChatGPT to always respond with short, concise bullet points, use eighth-grade language for clarity, or format responses for easy copy-pasting.
Setting these instructions ensures consistent communication style and saves time.
Custom GPTs are specialized AI tools built from your system prompts that can be shared with your team or clients, automating repetitive tasks and saving hours of work.
The author created a custom GPT that generates 2,000-word book outlines based on a person’s name and topic. This tool was shared with friends and colleagues, demonstrating how powerful and versatile custom GPTs can be.
Note: Creating custom GPTs is currently only possible via a web browser, not the mobile app.
Pilot the custom GPT with a small group to ensure it works as intended before rolling it out company-wide via communication tools like Slack.
ChatGPT is more than a chatbot; it is your creative operating system and mission control for problem-solving. As AI handles more of the creation work, your role shifts to directing and deciding which problems to tackle.
