🌱 Upgrade your ChatGPT instructions (“world-class strategist” prompt)

Small upgrades, huge impact. Jam sessions.

Here’s your 3 insights in 3 minutes.


🚀 ChatGPT Upgrade


I asked my friend Rob Cressy (ai expert and coach), what’s the most useful thing you can teach in under 5 minutes?


Rob: “Well, you’ve customized your ChatGPT instructions right.”


Me: “Uh I think so. Let me check…”


Oops. My project instructions were updated, my overall ChatGPT instructions were blank! 🤦‍♂️


Similar to internet speed, keyboard shortcuts, health, etc… This is one of those upstream upgrades that have HUGE LEVERAGE for everything downstream. Aka my favorite improvements.


Custom instructions = compound leverage


So I spent a few hours prompting and setting mine up.
