Unlock Claude’s World-Class Business Advice

Right now Claude is giving you generic advice, for an average business, because you have not placed your complete optimized business profile in the right spot.

I am going to walk you through step-by-step how to do this.

By the end of this post, Claude’s advice will change to that of a world-class consulting firm that knows your business inside and out.

Let’s get started.

Anthropic calls it Instructions for Claude.

1. Click your initials in the lower left corner. That opens your account menu.

2. Select Settings. The box labeled “Instructions for Claude” is on that screen.

Anthropic’s description of the “Instructions for Claude” box is the whole reason this post exists. “Any instructions you add here will be applied to all of your conversations with Claude.”

And that is why your complete business profile needs to be there.

Find out what 10X growth would actually require.

Ask a blank Claude and you get a lecture about scaling. Ask a loaded Claude and it works backward from your real numbers to tell you which ones would have to move, and by how much.

Here’s the prompt.

Assume my goal is 10X revenue in the next 12 months. Tell me exactly what would have to change in my business for that to be possible, what stays the same, and which of those changes I would refuse to make.

Get a business book’s frameworks applied to your actual numbers.

With your profile added, you can get a concise version of any business book that is tailored just for your business.

Here’s the prompt.

Give me every named framework from [book title]. For each one, show me what it looks like applied to my business specifically, using my real numbers. Flag any framework that does not fit my situation and say why.

Turn a long video into a private podcast episode about your business.

Find a video on something you want to learn, open the transcript, paste it in to Claude and have it rewrite the teaching with your business as the running example.

Then open that answer in the Claude mobile app and press the play button so it reads aloud. You get a custom podcast episode tailored to your own company for the drive home.

Here’s the prompt.

Here is the transcript of a 25 minute video on [topic]. [paste it] Rewrite it as a 10 minute solo podcast episode written for my business, using my numbers and my constraints instead of the generic examples. Write it to be spoken, not read because I am going to have you read it to me aloud on the mobile app when I am driving home.
