The Two Most Powerful Prompts to Transform Your Future Raising the Barr Weekly Memo: Issue 631

What if you could design your ideal life and then create a clear, actionable path to make it a reality?

Too often, people drift through life, hoping success, fulfillment, and happiness will happen someday—but someday never comes unless you intentionally design it.

The key is to ask better questions—ones that shape your vision with clarity and force you to take real action.

This process works best when used with ChatGPT’s memory feature, available through the paid version of ChatGPT (GPT-4 Turbo or GPT-4o). This allows the AI to remember your goals, preferences, and past responses, helping you refine and track your progress over time.

The Two Prompts That Change Everything

Through my work with my clients, I’ve discovered that two powerful prompts can radically change how you think about your future. These prompts will:

• Clarify your biggest goals and dreams.
• Create an inspiring vision of what’s possible.
• Give you a structured roadmap to make it happen.

Let’s explore each one, and more importantly, how you can use them to design and build the life and business you truly want.

Prompt #1: Designing Your Ideal Day (3 Months Into the Future)

“Design a detailed, hour-by-hour itinerary for a day in my life three months from now that fully aligns with my biggest dreams, passions, and goals—covering business, creativity, web strategies, content creation, photography, music, family, spirituality, and health. Make it inspiring, realistic, and fulfilling.”

Why This Prompt Is So Powerful

Most people set vague goals like “I want to be successful” or “I want to be happier.” But without a clear picture of what success or happiness actually looks like, it remains an abstract concept.

This prompt forces you to visualize your future in rich detail—not just what you want but how you’ll experience it hour by hour.

How You Can Use It

1. Write out a full-day schedule of your perfect day, three months from now.
2. Include specifics: Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with? How do you feel?
3. Pay attention to patterns—what themes emerge? This reveals what truly matters to you.
4. Use this vision as a North Star, guiding your daily decisions.

Example: If your perfect day includes writing, speaking, or coaching, but you currently spend most of your time on admin work, you now know what needs to change.

Key Takeaway: Clarity is the first step toward achievement. The more vividly you design your future, the more inevitable it becomes.

Prompt #2: The Action Plan to Make It Happen

“Outline the exact daily and weekly habits, actions, and mindset shifts I need to implement to turn this ideal day into my consistent reality. Make the plan structured, actionable, and designed for long-term success.”

Why This Prompt Is Essential

A vision without action is just a fantasy. This second prompt ensures you don’t just dream—you execute.

When you ask this, you’re forcing yourself to break down big, ambitious goals into daily and weekly actions that make them inevitable.

How You Can Use It

1. Extract key elements from your ideal day—what daily and weekly activities make that future possible?
2. Create structured routines that incorporate these elements into your life NOW.
3. Prioritize the highest-impact actions that accelerate your progress.
4. Identify necessary mindset shifts—what beliefs or habits do you need to change?

Example: If your dream day involves high-level coaching but you aren’t actively building an audience, your weekly plan should include creating content, engaging with your network, and positioning yourself as an expert.

Key Takeaway: The right habits, practiced consistently, turn your future vision into your present reality.

The Real Magic: The Compounding Effect of These Prompts

When used together, these two prompts bridge the gap between dreams and reality.

• The first prompt creates vision.
• The second prompt creates momentum.

By leveraging this process, you aren’t just making incremental improvements—you’re designing your life in real-time.

Most people wait years for change. You’re going to make it happen in 90-days.

How This Applies to You (and Your Business)

Whether you’re a business leader, consultant, or creative professional, these prompts help you:

• Design your business around your ideal lifestyle (not the other way around).
• Identify high-impact actions that create long-term success.
• Build a personal brand that attracts ideal clients and opportunities.
• Ensure your daily actions align with your biggest goals.

If you’re serious about growth, fulfillment, and impact, I challenge you to use these prompts TODAY.

Your dream life isn’t built overnight. It’s built one decision at a time—and it starts now.

Important Disclaimer:

To effectively use these prompts, you must have a paid version of ChatGPT (ChatGPT Plus with GPT-4 Turbo or GPT-4o) and have been using it for several months. This ensures that the AI has developed memory of your past interactions, allowing it to provide deeper, more personalized insights. If you’re using the free version, the AI won’t remember previous prompts, making this method significantly less effective.
