Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Most solopreneurs skip the business plan.
Not because they're lazy.
Because every template they find was built for companies with departments and investors.
One person with a laptop and an idea doesn't fit that template.
So they wing it.
Six months later, they're busy but not making progress.
Here's why that matters: direction compounds.
Every week without a clear goal is a week where effort scatters.
The solopreneurs who double their income in year one don't work harder.
They just know what to build — and what to ignore.
There's a way to get that clarity in 30 minutes.
🧩You provide:
Your current situation — what you're doing now and roughly what you're earning
Your background — skills and experience you're bringing to the business
Your rough goal — what you want to be making in 90 days
🍿 What you get:
First — one clear 90-day goal: a revenue target, a client number, and a lead offer
Then — a one-page plan with exactly how to reach those clients every week
Finally — Monday's to-do list, so you can start immediately, not "soon"
⛳️ Here's the scenario
Meet Ryan.
Nine years as a UX designer at a healthcare software company.
He went solo four months ago and picked up a few clients.
He was taking on whatever came his way — a logo here, a wireframe there, a consulting call for $200.
Every week felt full.
Every month felt flat.
He went to a bookshop one afternoon, settled into an armchair, and opened his notebook to figure it out.
An hour later — still blank page.
The woman in the next chair glanced over.
Quiet. Reading a dog-eared paperback.
"Still working on the plan?" she said.
Turned out she'd spent 14 years coaching solo consultants through their first critical year.
Her clients doubled their income within 90 days of working with her.
Not by working more.
By getting clear on exactly what they were building.
She glanced at his blank notebook and wrote something on her bookmark.
❌ What Ryan had: "Take whatever comes. Figure out the niche later. Stay busy."
✅ What it became: "90-day goal: 2 UX audit clients per month at $4,500 each. One offer. One audience. Three content pieces per week. $9,000/month by day 90."
Scattered. Then clear.
"How do you get a whole plan from that?"
She leaned back.
"A one-person business plan has three parts," she said. "Everything else is decoration."
"Most people try to do ten things at once. Nothing moves. Pick one goal."
"Then three layers: what you're selling, who's buying it, and how you're reaching them."
"And the plan only works if it tells you what to do on Monday morning."
She handed him the bookmark.
"One prompt. Run it. You'll have a real plan in 30 minutes."
Ryan opened his AI sidekick and got to work.
🎯 Step 1: Build your 90-day business plan
⏱️ 30 minutes
This prompt takes your current situation and builds a complete one-page plan — a clear goal, a one-page strategy, and Monday's to-do list. All in one run.
Here's what it produces:
❌ Before: "Goal: get more clients. Also maybe launch a course. And fix the website. And get on more podcasts."
✅ After: "90-DAY GOAL: $9,000/month from UX consulting by day 90. Revenue target: $9,000/month. Clients needed: 2 per month at $4,500 each.
LEAD OFFER: UX Audit — a 2-week review of one product's user experience, delivered as a written report with prioritised fixes. Fixed fee: $4,500. Easy to scope. Solves a real pain for health tech startups.
ONE THING NOT TO DO: Don't launch a course. You need clients now, not course students later. Revisit in month four.
OFFER: UX Audit for health tech startups with a live product that's losing users. AUDIENCE: Health tech founders and product leads on LinkedIn and in Slack communities. OUTREACH: 5 personalised LinkedIn DMs per week. 'I noticed [specific thing about your product]. I help health tech startups fix the UX problems costing them users. Happy to share what I usually find.'
WEEKLY ACTIONS:
Send 5 personalised LinkedIn DMs to health tech product leads
Post 3 pieces of content — 1 UX insight, 1 case study, 1 opinion
Follow up with anyone who replied last week
Join 1 new relevant Slack community
Schedule 2 discovery calls
MONDAY TO-DO LIST (Week 1): Most important first: Write your DM script — everything else depends on having something to send.
Write and finalise LinkedIn DM script — 30 min, Monday morning
Find 5 health tech companies with a live app on LinkedIn — 45 min, Monday morning
Send 5 personalised DMs using the script — 30 min, Monday afternoon
Write 1 LinkedIn post about a UX insight from your healthcare experience — 45 min, Tuesday morning
Follow up with anyone from last week who didn't reply — 20 min, Thursday
Avoid this week: Do not touch the website. It will take 4 hours and get you zero clients."
[Ryan's AI sidekick filled in the month-by-month breakdown for days 30, 60, and 90...]
Here's the prompt that did that:
My current situation:
{e.g. Solo UX designer, 4 months in, a few random clients,
making about $3,000-$4,000/month, no consistent offer or niche}
My background:
{e.g. 9 years in UX — healthcare software, user research,
design systems, team training}
My rough goal:
{e.g. Replace my old salary of $9,000/month within 90 days}
Run this in three steps. Complete all three in one reply — do not stop between steps.
Step 1 — Set the 90-day goal:
1. What is one realistic 90-day goal I should focus on?
2. What is the revenue target (monthly) I should hit by day 90?
3. How many clients do I need per month to hit that number?
4. What is the one offer I should lead with — based on my background and what the market will pay?
5. What is the one thing I should NOT do in the next 90 days?
Be direct. One answer each — not a menu of options.
Step 2 — Build the 90-day plan:
Using the goal from Step 1, build a one-page plan with four sections:
OFFER — what I'm selling and to whom (2-3 sentences)
AUDIENCE — where my target clients spend time and exactly how to reach them
OUTREACH — how I'll reach 5 potential clients per week: what I send, where, and what I say
WEEKLY ACTIONS — 5 specific things to do every week to hit the goal
Keep it simple. Nothing that isn't directly connected to getting clients.
Step 3 — Write Monday's to-do list:
Using the plan from Step 2, write a Monday morning to-do list:
1. The 5 most important actions for THIS WEEK
2. For each action: how long it takes and when to do it (morning/afternoon/evening)
3. The single most important action that has to happen before everything else
4. One thing to avoid this week that would feel productive but waste time
Make it specific enough that I can start within 10 minutes of reading this.
Ryan read the whole thing twice.
One page.
Three sections.
Five things to do every week — and exactly what to do Monday morning.
He was writing the DM script before he finished his coffee.
(The course idea? Completely gone. The AI killed it in Step 1.)
🏆 Ryan's results
Before:
No plan — taking whatever clients came in, whatever they paid
Making $3,000–$4,000/month with no clear direction or target
Six months of being busy with nothing building toward anything
After:
A one-page 90-day plan — one offer, one audience, one outreach method
A weekly action list that told him exactly what to do every Monday
First discovery call booked within 4 days of starting the plan
Total time: 30 minutes. Not another blank notebook.
His AI sidekick set the goal, built the plan, and wrote Monday's to-do list.
Ryan made the call. BAM.
One goal.
One offer.
One page.
That's a plan you can actually run.
That's it, my fellow outliers!
