✍️ Open Loop Prompt
Prompt:
“Where do you still feel like growth is a gamble?”
Freewriting Response:

🔎 Sharpening Prompt
Prompt:
“Can you turn this into a rule, a rant, or a system?”
Expansion:
If you built a house without a blueprint, you'd be fucked. Yet that's exactly how 99% of restaurants approach growth.
