Let’s get real.

Most people don’t need more ideas.
They need a way to turn the chaos in their head into a plan they can actually follow.

Here’s what most people don’t realise:

1️⃣ Your Strategy Is Already in Your Head

You don’t need to “create” a strategic plan from scratch.

You need to extract what’s already there:
-goals
-fears
-frustrations
-desires
-revenue targets
-what you want more of
-what you want to stop doing

It’s all already in you.

2️⃣ The Best Strategic Plans Start as a Waffle

This is why I tell people to talk it out.

Go for a walk.
Turn on Otter.
Waffle.

No eloquence.
No structure.
No perfection.

Just honest answers.

Your job is not to write beautifully.
Your job is to get it out.

3️⃣ AI Turns the Waffle Into Structure

This is the whole prompt:

“Go through this transcript of me waffling and turn it into a strategic plan.”

One line.

Copy it.
Paste it into ChatGPT or Gemini.
Paste your transcript.
Done.

4️⃣ Use Deep Thinking Mode If You Have It

If you’re on a paid plan:

-ChatGPT: use deep research / thinking mode
-Gemini: use thinking mode

Why?

Because these modes have higher capacity and stronger analysis.
They don’t just summarise.
They structure, prioritise, and interpret.

5️⃣ If You’re on a Free Plan, Attach the Transcript
If your transcript is long, free plans may not let you paste it all.

Easy fix:
-save the transcript as a Word doc
-attach it
-run the same prompt

Same outcome.

6️⃣ Short Answers Are Enough

People get stuck thinking they need to answer everything in paragraphs.

You don’t.
“How much money do you want to make?”
Answer: “$500k.”

Next.
The power isn’t in the length.
It’s in the honesty.

7️⃣ A Strategic Plan Must Become a Working System

We’re not creating a plan to stick in a cupboard.

We’re creating a plan to execute.

That means:
-turning it into tasks
-turning it into timelines
-turning it into actions that happen in real life

8️⃣ Gemini Can Turn Your Plan Into an Interactive Dashboard

This is where it gets exciting.
Gemini can take your plan and turn it into:
-a visual dashboard
-clickable checklists
-milestones
-timelines
-interactive roadmaps

Instead of “text in, text out”, it becomes a system you can actually use.

9️⃣ Canvas Mode Is the Key

To get the visual dashboard in Gemini:
-start a new chat
-choose Tools
-select Canvas mode
-paste your prompt + strategic plan
-submit

It will generate the dashboard and tasks automatically.

🔟 This Is How You Make Your Next 12 Months Inevitable

Once you have:
-a structured plan
-tasks in priority order
-a dashboard you can see
-systems that remind you what matters

You stop spinning.
You start building.
