One prompt. Ten minutes. Surfaces your highest-leverage growth action for the week and generates the outreach, copy, or email you've been putting off.
Most solo founders know what they should be doing to grow revenue. The problem isn't knowledge — it's that growth work gets pushed to "later" because operational work feels more urgent. Answering emails feels productive. Reaching out to a potential partner feels risky and uncertain. So the emails win, and the growth stalls.
I built this prompt to force a weekly confrontation with the question every founder avoids: what is the single thing I could do this week that would actually move revenue, and am I going to do it or not?
If the prompt makes you uncomfortable, it's working. The discomfort is the gap between knowing and doing.
The prompt forces four things that most founders skip in their weekly planning. First, honesty about what actually happened last week — not what was planned, but what was executed. Writing "nothing" in the growth field when that's the truth is the kind of confrontation that creates change.
Second, it generates the output alongside the decision. The biggest friction in growth work isn't deciding what to do — it's producing the thing. The email that needs writing, the DM that needs sending, the proposal that needs drafting. By the time you finish the prompt, the hard part is already done. Your job is to review it and hit send.
Third, it pre-empts the excuses. My brain is excellent at manufacturing reasons to avoid uncomfortable growth actions after the fact. When the prompt surfaces those excuses in advance, they lose their power. You can't pretend "I didn't have time" when you told the AI that's exactly what you'd say.
Fourth, the measurable result. "More revenue" is not a goal, it's a wish. A specific, checkable outcome — "sent 5 outreach emails and got 2 responses" — gives you something to actually evaluate at the end of the week.
I run this prompt every Monday morning during my deep work block. It takes about 10 minutes — 3 to fill in the context, 2 to read the output, 5 to refine the draft and schedule the action. By 6am I've committed to the week's growth action and the first draft of whatever it requires is already sitting in my outbox.
For EDGE, this has surfaced actions like reaching out to specific affiliates, writing launch emails I'd been procrastinating on, and creating partnership proposals I'd been thinking about for weeks without acting on. For becomingscott, it's pushed me to start conversations with founders I'd been meaning to connect with and to ship resources I'd been sitting on.
The compound effect over months is significant. One growth action per week, every week, for a year is 52 concrete moves you wouldn't have made otherwise. Most solo founders do maybe 10 real growth actions in a year. The prompt is the difference.
