Sabrina Ramonov: Three Claude prompts that flip 'what business should I start?' on its head
A Forbes 30 Under 30 solo founder shares the exact three-prompt sequence she uses to help people go from 'no idea' to 'first paying customer' in 30 days.
Sabrina Ramonov — who sold her first business for $10M+ and now runs a solo founder practice doing millions a year — dropped a video with a deceptively simple premise: three Claude prompts that get you to your first $1,000 without the usual "start a course / start dropshipping / start an agency" trap.
Prompt 1 flips the direction of ideation. Instead of asking Claude "what business should I start?" (which lands everyone on the same three generic ideas), you ask it to list every skill you've built, every problem you've solved, and every audience you can reach without paying for ads. You start from you, not from a template.
Prompt 2 takes that skill inventory and asks Claude to generate business ideas grounded in what you actually have — then score each on a 1-10 scale with a vivid day-in-the-life picture. That last part is the filter: if the daily work sounds boring on paper, it will be boring in practice.
Prompt 3 is the deciding prompt. Score each remaining idea on four dimensions: can I get a paying customer in 30 days, would I still want to do it, does it use what I already have, and is failure recoverable? What comes out the other side isn't a pipe dream — it's the shortest path from your actual situation to your first dollar.
