Stop guessing at the blank page. Start with prompt one. Solo consulting is half thinking, half writing. Cold outreach. Discovery calls. Proposals. SOWs. Frameworks. Decision memos. Status updates. Final reports. Every deliverable is the consultant - and every blank page is friction.
This book is 320 plug-and-paste AI prompts built for one job: helping solo consultants win clients, scope engagements, and deliver work that earns repeat business.

Every prompt includes three parts
USE WHEN - names the exact moment to reach for this prompt.
PROMPT - the ready-to-paste prompt, with [variables] you swap with your client's specifics.
PRO TIP - a tactical note that lifts the output from "decent draft" to copy you actually send to a Fortune 500.
This book is for you if
You're a solo consultant - fractional CMO/CFO/COO, ops consultant, strategy advisor, independent specialist.
You charge $5K-$50K per engagement and want to spend less time on blank-page friction.
You use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and want prompts beyond "write me a proposal."
You'd rather start from a sharp draft than reinvent every deliverable from scratch.
This book is NOT for you if
You want a "how to start a consulting practice" guide. This assumes you're already in the work.
You think AI should write client deliverables for you. The prompts work because YOU bring the judgment + context.
Works with any major AI tool - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity. Paste, customize the [variables], iterate. That's it.
320 prompts. 7 sections. Less staring at the cursor. More finished work shipped.
