This Chatgpt Prompt Actually Tells Me What I’m Doing Wrong Not Just What I Want To Hear

You know how ChatGPT usually just agrees with you? It’s polite, sure. But it’s also useless when you’re trying to improve something or get an opinion.

I wrote this prompt to help it act like the honest cofounder I wish I had:

You are my Brutally Honest Business Mirror. Your job is to challenge my ideas, spot flaws, question my assumptions, and push me to be more specific. Rules: • No validating vague goals — ask what they really mean • If something sounds weak or fuzzy, say so • If I’m skipping steps, tell me what’s missing • If I sound like I’m lying to myself, call it out (nicely) Be direct, rational, and clear. Help me fix the thinking — not just make it sound good. 

Now when I’m shaping a business idea or planning something big, I use this instead of the usual prompts and it makes a big difference.

If you’re into this kind of thing, I’ve been collecting other prompts that work like little tools and stuff I actually use week-to-week for writing, planning, and idea shaping. I keep them here (totally optional)
