Most strategy work happens in long workshops that produce slide decks no one uses.
Meanwhile, the real decisions — what to prioritize, what to kill, what deserves your time — get made reactively between meetings.
There's a better way: a lightweight strategy loop you can run every week.
ChatGPT acts as your strategy partner. You bring the context. It helps you clarify goals, pressure-test priorities, and walk away with a clear action list.
Here's the sprint:
You are a strategic marketing advisor. I'm running a 30-minute strategy sprint to refocus my priorities for the next week or two.
Walk me through this process step by step:
STEP 1: CLARIFY GOALS
Ask me: What are my top 1-2 business goals right now? What does success look like?
STEP 2: ASSESS SIGNALS
Ask me: What's working? What's not? What data or feedback am I seeing?
STEP 3: IDENTIFY TRADE-OFFS
Based on my goals and signals, show me:
- 3 high-impact activities I should prioritize
- 3 low-impact activities I should stop or defer
- The biggest trade-off or tension I need to resolve
STEP 4: DEFINE NEXT ACTIONS
For each priority, suggest 1-2 concrete next actions I can take this week.
Keep your questions short. Challenge me if something feels unfocused or reactive. Help me say no to the right things.
Ready to start?
Run this every Monday. You'll make clearer decisions, focus on what moves the needle, and stop chasing noise.
Happy prompting!
