The 7-Step AI Prompting Framework That Actually Works [Delegate Like An Entrepreneur]
Hey! This is Ep#131 of Amplify Ai - Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Identity presented by Ronsley Vaz.Hey, AI geeks! It's Ronsley!Ever written what you thought was a decent prompt only to get a useless response? You're not alone. Most business founders are asking AI for help the wrong way - like trying to delegate without actually explaining what you want.Today I'm sharing the exact 7-step framework I use to get AI to work like your best team member. This isn't about fancy prompts or technical tricks. It's about thinking like an entrepreneur who knows how to delegate properly.What you'll discover:🔥 The 7 essential elements every AI prompt needs (most people miss 4 of them)⚡ Why Claude outperforms ChatGPT for marketing content (and when to use each)🎯 How I write show notes in 30 seconds that sound better than I could write myself💡 The biggest mistake solopreneurs make when jumping to entrepreneur mode🚀 Real examples of prompts that work vs ones that waste your timeThe reality? The jump from solopreneur to entrepreneur isn't just about hiring people - it's about learning to delegate properly. And if you can't delegate to humans effectively, you'll struggle with AI too.This framework changes that. It's how you go from "AI doesn't work for me" to "I can't imagine running my business without it."Ready to stop fighting with AI and start getting the results you actually want?Resources mentioned:- Claude AI project setup- Gary Vee's Day Trading Attention framework- Amplify AI cohort builder- Sora video generation examplesGot questions about implementing AI in your business?
