💡 Weekly Prompt: Start Applying the Law of Compounding (By Removing Your Assumptions Around Your Goals)

This week's prompt is inspired by Sam Altman and the law of compounding in:

• Your business

• Your skillset

• Your future opportunities

I live to find old interviews of entrepreneurs to see what they were thinking before they were mega, mega successful.

This one from Sam Altman is one of my favorites.

It’s from September 27th, 2016 and he gives business advice the entire time.

The timestamp will bring you directly to the part where he’s talking about the importance of compounding:

That’s what this week’s ThinkWithAI prompt will show you.

But we’re going to take an interesting angle.

I want you to take a moment to step into the shoes of yourself in 1 year from today.

What is that person screaming at you to do right now?

💡 In 1 year, you’ll look back and wonder why you thought you couldn’t do [insert idea, strategy, action you know you should take] because of [insert the psychology bias telling you that you can’t start that yet].

And you’ll have lost out on 365 days of compounding because of it.

This prompt is going to help you look past assumptions and realize what you can start working toward today, like:

• Start working on improving your team culture and leadership

• Figure out how to get better team cohesion

• Start getting feedback so you can use it in your upcoming marketing campaigns

• Schedule interviews with candidates for a role you’re going to need in the near future (instead of trying to hire when the house is on fire)

• Finally align your branding to your long-term vision

Here are some ways I’ve been thinking about this:

• What feedback loops can I put into place that help me optimize ThinkWithAI faster? (This is another tip from Sam Altman)

• What can I do today that leads to 10x more subscribers in 12 months?

• How can I start getting to know developers so that I have options when I’m ready to bring someone on to build out a ThinkWithAI platform?
