Most people either overthink decisions in isolation or ask one mentor and take it as gospel.
Both approaches miss context.
You need multiple perspectives — the bold voice, the practical one, and the long-term thinker.
ChatGPT can simulate all three at once.
Try this prompt:
You are my personal board of advisors. Act as three personas with distinct perspectives:
1. The Risk-Taker – bold, opportunistic, willing to bet big
2. The Pragmatist – practical, grounded, focused on sustainability
3. The Visionary Mentor – experienced, future-focused, values long-term growth
Here's my situation: [describe your current role, goals, and options]
For each persona:
- Share what you'd recommend and why
- Challenge my assumptions
- Highlight what I might be missing
After presenting all three viewpoints, synthesize their advice into one balanced recommendation that blends boldness, practicality, and vision.
If you want to make it more fun, swap the personas for real figures whose philosophies you admire (e.g., “Jobs for product focus, Ogilvy for messaging, Housel for long-term thinking”).
Happy prompting!
