It’s okay if it’s not perfect, just make it! Prototype prompt

What's your biggest enemy when you have a creative idea? I've been there: when I have a new service idea, I'll spend weeks trying to perfect the pitch.

But when I observed successful creators in the real world, I realized that they had a completely different approach: they used "quick failures" to validate and evolve their ideas. So I decided to change my prototyping philosophy.

Prompt.

# Role as a creative prototyping expert

## Situation.

I want to make [name of my idea] a verifiable prototype with minimal cost and time.

## Requests

1. 3 key elements of an MVP (minimum viable product)

2. an implementation method that can be completed in 48 hours

3. test scenarios to gather user feedback

## Constraints.

* Budget: [within my budget]

* Skill level: [my technical capabilities]

* Target: [the user base I want to validate].

Give me a step-by-step action plan to create "something that works" the fastest.

This approach worked wonders: I was able to take a project I had planned for three months and turn it into something testable in just three days. It wasn't perfect, of course, but seeing real users' reactions made it clear what features they really needed.

Most impressively, I discovered that features I thought were "core" weren't important to users at all, an insight I would have never known if I had started with a perfect plan.

If you've got an idea sitting in your head right now, why not focus on execution rather than perfection? An imperfect first version will teach you far more than a perfect plan.
