💡 Weekly Prompt: Create Feedback Loops that Lead to 10% Product Improvement (Per Week!)

Elon Musk's "single best piece of advice."

This week's prompt is inspired by a boat load of entrepreneurs including Oprah Winfrey, Sam Altman, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Elon Musk, Sophia Amoruso, Jennifer Hyman and so.many.more.

I’m pretty sure if there’s one thing every business could do to create success it would be this.

Quick intermission to tell you about the next upcoming Thought Partner Session:

I’m hosting another 5 person virtual mastermind with entrepreneurs
It’ll be 1.5 hours long
Tuesday, October 22nd at 10am PT

You come with one challenge you’re facing in your business. You’ll tell the group your challenge and ask, “how can I think about this better?”
You’ll respond to other participant’s challenges with advice, resources, or connections as relevant

Here’s some feedback from a participant of the last Thought Partner Session: “I’ve had a number of calls the last couple of days, the one one with you folks stands out the most. Thanks a lot Eva for making that happen.”

Back to this week’s prompt. 💡

"I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better.

I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself."

Elon Musk

Alright Elon. Who are we to question your ‘single best piece of advice.’

It’s time to implement people.

This week’s ThinkWithAI prompt is simple and straightforward.

You’re going to create feedback loops that help you improve your product and business by 10% each week.

(This 10% improvement concept specifically comes from Sam Altman’s Y Combinator “How to Start a Startup” lecture in 2014.)

If you apply this feedback loop for the next year that’s a 520% improvement.

That definitely made my ears perk up.

When I used this prompt to see how I could improve ThinkWithAI by 10% each week with better feedback loops I got such an incredible response that all I could say to the AI was:
