AI PROMPT OF THE WEEK

Daily Business Clarity Prompt

Add this to ChatGPT (or your favorite AI tool)

“Act as my business growth advisor. Based on my current offers, audience, and goals, give me one high-leverage move I can take today to grow my business — something that’s fast, free (or low cost), and aligned with my strengths. Include exactly how to do it step-by-step. Ask me any questions about my business you need to craft an extremely actionable plan.”

This prompt works every day because:

• It pulls in tactical ideas, not theory

• It adjusts to whatever the business owner is focused on

• It reduces decision fatigue and sparks consistent action

MARKETING MINDSET

The Free Visibility Play 99% Skip

Here’s something wild: most of your best future customers are already in someone else's comment section.

This week, try this:

• Find 3 influencers or brands your audience already follows

• Drop 2–3 high-value comments on their posts — not “nice post” fluff, but something insightful, funny, or genuinely helpful

• Do it consistently for 5–7 days

Why it works:
👉 You instantly get seen by hundreds (or thousands) of exactly the people you’re trying to reach — without paying for ads or chasing the algorithm.

This is how we warm up cold audiences, build awareness, and get profile clicks that turn into email signups or sales — all without spending a dime. 

💎 Power Drop: Visibility is free. You just have to show up where the attention already is.

CLIENT ACQUISITION TACTIC

The “Low-Key Case Study” DM Strategy 🎯

Here’s how to turn your past wins into new clients — without sounding salesy or spending a dime.

Do this today:

1. Pick 1 small win you helped someone achieve (client, customer, or even yourself)

2. Write it up as a quick “Just tested this and here’s what happened” post or DM — keep it casual

3. End it with: “If you’re working on something similar, happy to share how we approached it 👇🏾”

Where to post it:

• Facebook groups

• Instagram Stories

• Twitter/X

• LinkedIn

• Or straight-up DM it to someone you know is working on that problem

Why it works:
✅ It positions you as a doer, not just a talker
✅ It sparks convos without pitching
✅ It creates social proof, even if you’re just starting out you don’t need a full website to give a reason for people to say, “Wait, how’d you do that?”

MOTIVATION MINDSET

You Don’t Need More Confidence — You Need More Reps

Here’s the truth: Most of us are waiting to “feel ready” before we show up.

But confidence doesn't come before action — it comes from action. It’s built in the doing, in the messy tries, in the moments where you feel unsure but you move anyway.

Especially for Black and Brown entrepreneurs, we often feel like we need to overprepare just to be taken seriously. But perfection isn’t the requirement — consistency is.

🛠️ _{Try This Today:}

Pick one thing you’ve been hesitating on — and take one small step toward it:

• Draft the offer

• Send the pitch

• Launch the first post

• Reach out to that contact

• Hit publish

Then say to yourself: “This rep counts.” Because it does. Every single one adds up — and that’s how confidence is born.

💎 Reps > readiness. Always. 💪🏾

Every week, we share media picks that feed your mind, move your spirit, and give you a moment to breathe — or build — with purpose. Whether it’s a podcast to level up your strategy, a song to keep you pushing, or a film that shifts your perspective, these gems are handpicked for our community.

🎙️ Our Podcast Pick: Brown Ambition

Hosted by two powerhouse women — Mandi Woodruff and Tiffany “The Budgetnista” Aliche — Brown Ambition is where money, mindset, and unapologetic success collide.

This show keeps it real, relatable, and rooted in our reality — covering everything from wealth building and side hustles to career pivots and generational change. It’s especially for Black and Brown folks who want to grow their bag and protect their peace.

Whether you're trying to get out of debt, land that raise, or build something of your own, these biweekly convos will keep you informed, empowered, and fired up.

🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts

🎶 Music: "Goapele – Closer"

A timeless anthem for dreamers who are building brick by brick. Play it while working, meditating, or manifesting that next big win.
🎵 Key lyric: “Closer to my dreams... I'm getting higher and higher.”

🎬 Movie: Origin (2023) by Ava DuVernay

A powerful story based on Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste, this film digs deep into the hidden hierarchy that shapes so much of our world — and what it means to rise above it.

SPEAKING OUR MIND

When the World Feels Heavy, We Hold Each Other Up

Let’s be honest — the world feels heavy right now.

From headlines that hit too close to home, to systems still stacked against us, to the quiet stress of trying to build something in a world that often seems determined to distract or divide — it’s a lot.

We see the inflation. The burnout. The tension. The noise.

And still — we build.

We create, we show up for our families, we hold down our communities, and we bet on ourselves even when it would be easier not to.

That’s why The Power Drop exists.

We’re not here just to talk business. We’re here to remind you that:

• You’re not alone.

• Your vision matters.

• And your progress — no matter how small — is powerful.

This is a space where we grow together. Learn together. Win together.
And when the weight of the world feels like too much?
We carry a little of it for each other.

Stay grounded. Stay building. We’ve got you. 💛
