Mike Andes argues that vague prompts like "grow my business by double" produce generic advice. Instead, feed AI a detailed master prompt with your role, financial metrics, close ratio, and personal motivations. Specific inputs get tailored outputs. Without enough context, you risk false confidence in bad decisions.
I think that's really good at refining. But if you just blanketly say, I want to grow my business this year by double, what should I do? You're going to get the most average output ever. And if you don't have organized inputs in terms of like, what's my close ratio? What's my P&L look like? To give it, it's also just going to be even more generic. And so I think in general, I like it as more of a honing tool and a thought partner. I think putting into the prompt, I think everyone should have a master prompt. So it has full context of your role, what your objectives are with the business, the financials of the business, your personal why. So it can optimize optimize its response around those things instead of looking at the internet. I think most people just don't give it enough context to actually make it a useful tool, and therefore they end up just gaining more confidence in their bad decisions. Yeah.
