"Lessons learned" founder post

What you need: The specific incident — what actually happened, with concrete details: when, who, the action, and the immediate consequence (not a vague timeframe or feeling). What you THOUGHT was true going in (the prior model you were operating on). What turned out to be true (the new model, named just as specifically as the old one). The actual lesson — calibrated to your situation, NOT something that would fit on a poster. The specific new behavior you adopted since (or stopped doing). A recent post of yours so the AI can match your voice.

How to use: If you've already built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will use your profile context and skip questions it already knows. Otherwise paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you across 6 questions, then produces a single LinkedIn / X post — 130-220 words — that hits the six load-bearing beats of a real lessons-learned post (specific incident → prior model → new model → calibrated lesson → new behavior → landing observation). It explicitly refuses to produce the genre's failure modes: the "I almost gave up" trauma-lite shape, the humble-brag-disguised-as-failure, the narratively-tidy struggle-pivot-resolution loop, and the generic-wisdom landing.
