Long business plans end up in a drawer. A one-page, 90-day plan gets used, because it is short enough to remember and close enough to act on.
This prompt asks for where you are, where you want to be and what is in the way, then forces it down to three priorities.
How to use it
- Gather a few numbers: monthly revenue, leads, jobs, profit, team size.
- Run the prompt and challenge its suggestions; you know the business better.
- Print it, pin it up, and review it every two weeks with your team.
90-day-plan.txt
Help me write a one-page 90-day plan for my business. Business: [name], [what we do], [team size] Where we are now: [monthly revenue, leads, jobs, profit, any other key numbers] Where I want to be in 90 days: [goals] What is getting in the way: [problems, bottlenecks] Ideas I already have: [list] First, ask me up to 5 questions to fill gaps. Then write the plan: 1. The one goal for the quarter, in a sentence with a number. 2. Three priorities that move that goal, each with: why it matters, 3 to 5 actions with an owner and a deadline, and one number to track weekly. 3. What we will stop doing or say no to. 4. Risks and what we will do if they happen. 5. A fortnightly review checklist. Fit it on one page. Be specific and realistic.
Rules of a plan that works
- Three priorities, not ten.
- Each priority has a number that tells you whether it is working.
- Each action has an owner and a date.
- Review every two weeks, adjust, and write the next 90 days at the end.
