Find Hidden Opportunities through these Prompts

Map your existing assets 
Every skill, connection, and experience you have could unlock a new door. Most people forget what they've already got. They chase new things while overlooking their existing advantages. Figure out what you already have that could create opportunities. Play your ace cards.
 "Acting as a business strategist, help me identify underutilized but unique assets (ace cards) in my business that could create new opportunities. Ask me questions about my skills, network, and past successes, one at a time. Once we have a full picture, suggest 5 specific ways I could leverage these assets to unlock new business growth. Focus on quick wins I could achieve in the next 30 days." 

Find market gaps 
Your dream customers have problems no one is solving. Pain points that keep them up at night. Needs that aren't being met. If you copy what exists, you won’t make any money. Instead, find the gaps and fill them. Be the solution someone is searching for.
 “Guide me in spotting unmet needs in my market. First, ask me about my target customers' biggest frustrations and challenges. For each challenge they mention, dig deeper with follow-up questions about why existing solutions fall short. Then create a list of 3 potential opportunities to solve these problems in new ways. My target audience is [describe them] and they struggle with [describe problems]." 

Study success patterns 
Your past wins hold the blueprint for future victories. Success leaves clues if you know where to look. Most people stumble forward randomly but winners study what works and double down. Find your personal success system and repeat it with intention. 
 "Help me decode my success patterns to find new opportunities. Ask me about my 3 biggest wins in business, one at a time. For each win, help me break down exactly what led to success. After analyzing all three, identify common threads and suggest 5 ways to replicate these patterns in new areas. Create specific action steps I can take this week." 

 Follow the money 
Where money flows, opportunity follows. Watch where your industry spends cash. Notice which problems get funding and where investors are placing bets. Smart players spot emerging trends early. Position yourself where growth is heading. A rising tide raises all ships.

 "Acting as a market analyst, help me spot money flows that signal opportunities. Before doing this, ask me about spending patterns in my industry, including where customers spend most freely and what they hesitate to buy. Add your real-time knowledge and insights to guide our analysis. Once our analysis is completed (important - don’t do this before then), suggest 3 ways I could position my business to capture more value. Include specific steps to validate each opportunity before going all in." 

Transform your obstacles 
Stop avoiding problems and start using them. Complaints are feedback. That frustrating bottleneck could become your next product. That client complaint could spark an innovation. Turn your biggest challenges into wins. Make your obstacles work for you when you find the breakthroughs. 

"Help me turn my business challenges into opportunities. First, ask me about my current obstacles and pain points. For each one, guide me through reframing it as a potential advantage. Then create an action plan to transform my biggest challenge into a business win within 30 days. Focus on practical steps I can start today."
