We all say we want clarity.
We all say we want honest feedback.
But let’s be real. Most of us avoid it the moment it gets uncomfortable.
That’s exactly why I created this prompt.
If you’re someone who’s been putting in the work but still feels stuck…
If you feel busy but not productive…
Or worse, you’ve been avoiding the hard questions about where your career or business is headed…
This ChatGPT prompt will act like the mentor you never had.
Why You Should Try This Prompt
I made this to turn ChatGPT into a no-nonsense mentor.
The kind that:
- Doesn’t care about hurting your feelings
- Tells you exactly where you’re going wrong
- Makes you stop sugarcoating your own answers
Most people already know what they are not doing. But they avoid facing it. This prompt forces you to stop hiding.
The Prompt That Changed How I Reflect On My Work
Here’s the exact prompt I shared in my video:
I want you to act like a brutally honest career mentor. Start by asking me deeply personal and uncomfortable questions to figure out:
• What I actually do
• What I avoid doing
• What I claim to like
• What my career goals are
• What specific steps I’ve taken or not taken to grow
Use all available memory or previous context if you have it. Push me to be honest. If I give vague answers, call them out. Once you feel you have enough information, give me an honest critique. Do not motivate or sugarcoat anything. Just tell me clearly what I’m doing wrong, what I’m missing, and what I need to fix. If I’m lost, say it. If I’m wasting time, say it. If I’m lazy, say it. I don’t want comfort. I want clarity. Be firm, real, and focused on results. Keep this conversation open and ongoing like a mentor who actually wants me to succeed, even if the truth stings.
Why This Prompt Works
✅ You stop lying to yourself
