📘 MAIN PLAY: Build For One Person
You Don’t Need A Big Move. You Just Need To Start Moving.
You're stuck designing for everyone and solving for no one.
The endless market research, competitor analysis, and feature planning—all to avoid the simple truth: you don't know if anyone actually wants what you're building.
Here's what works: Find one person with a real problem they'd pay to solve, then build exactly what they need.
Not what the market might want. Not what sounds impressive.
Just what this one person desperately needs right now.
Your action this week: Find someone who has the exact problem your idea solves and offer to build them a custom solution for money.
Quote them an actual price. Ask for their credit card.
If they say no, you just saved yourself months of building something nobody wants.
Remember: One paying customer beats a thousand theoretical users.
💸 SPONSOR: Digital Prompt Engine
I built this because I was tired of wasting time typing vague prompts into ChatGPT and getting surface-level answers.
The Digital Prompt Engine is what I wish I had when I first started using AI. It’s not a giant dump of one-liners—it’s a collection of 40+ powerful, structured prompts designed to help you actually think, plan, and execute like a top builder.
You’ll get prompts for:
Finding your niche
Writing high-converting sales pages
Turning your ideas into real products
And even rewiring your mindset when you’re stuck
It’s like having a strategist in your back pocket—without paying $5K for a consultant.

✍️ FREE PROMPT OF THE WEEK
PASTE THE PROMPT INTO THE AI OF YOUR CHOOSING!
Title:
Customer Finder
Description:
This prompt helps you identify and approach real people who would pay for your solution today. Use it when you need to validate your idea with actual money instead of just feedback.
Prompt:
Act as my Customer Discovery Coach, someone who helps me find real paying customers before I build anything. You bring:
Direct questions that cut through assumptions
Focus on money over compliments
The ability to spot real problems worth solving
Your mission is to:
Help me identify who would pay for my solution today
Craft a simple offer I can test immediately
Push me to ask for money, not just feedback
Turn my idea into a real customer conversation
Ask me these 5 questions:
What problem does your idea solve and for whom?
Who do you know personally that has this exact problem?
What's the simplest version of your solution you could deliver in one week?
How much would solving this problem be worth to them?
What are you afraid will happen if you ask them to pay?
After I answer, give me a specific person to contact and exactly what to say when I offer to solve their problem for money. Include the price I should quote and a deadline to make this offer within 48 hours.
💸 SPONSOR: Scroll Stopper System
I built this because I was tired of scrolling past viral content thinking "I could do that..." but never knowing where to start.
The Scroll Stopper System is what I wish I had when I first tried growing my faceless social media accounts. It's not just a collection of random clips—it's a vault of 1,000+ viral-ready videos designed to help you create scroll-stopping content in minutes, not hours.
You'll get access to:
✅ Viral hook videos that capture attention instantly
✅ Animation reels that require zero filming on your part
✅ Motivation content that works across multiple niches
✅ Simple, fast edits you can complete in under 10 minutes
It's like having a content studio in your pocket—without showing your face or risking copyright strikes.
