Missed Opportunities And AI Prompt Libraries for Starting a Business After 50

Raise your hand if you ever felt like you’ve missed yet another gold rush…

Or the dot-com boom.
Or social media before it got loud.
Or being able to rock a pair of Guirbaud jeans in the halls of your high school in 1989 because your dad wasn’t Daddy Warbucks…

Yeah. Same.

It sucks for a minute.

Then something kicks in once you’ve been around long enough.

You didn’t miss it, you’re just early again.

There’s always another one.

After about 30 years of watching the “next big thing” come and go, you start to see a pattern. Opportunity doesn’t show up once. It shows up in waves.

People don’t usually miss opportunities because they’re lazy or dumb. They miss them because the thing literally did not exist yet.

This is especially true when it comes to starting a business after 50. The tools simply weren't here three years ago.

I thought of this this week when I stumbled across a site called God of Prompt ($).

They sell AI prompts and prompt libraries.

It’s a great idea, and they are executing it perfectly.

I wish I’d thought of it.

Not out of envy.
Out of respect.

This kind of digital side hustle could not have existed four or five years ago. There was no audience for it. Only the hardcore early adopters even know what ChatGPT or a prompt even was.

Now it feels obvious.

Which is how most good ideas look in hindsight.

Here’s the part that made me a believer.

I’ve been collecting prompts since the first week I started using ChatGPT. Docs. Notes. Screenshots. Half-baked ideas everywhere.

Besides ahving them scattered everywhere, the problem is that prompts can age fast.

Models change.
Capabilities change.
Stuff that worked six months ago can spit out junk today.

So I’ve been hesitant to share my own stash. I don’t want to hand someone something that gives them weak output and makes them think AI is overrated.

The other thing is this.

I mostly write prompts on the fly now. I know how to ask better questions. I know how to steer the conversation.

But not everyone wants to become a prompt nerd.

Some people just want a solid starting point.
Something they can drop in, tweak, and move on with their day.

That’s where having a tightly organized, well-built library of business prompts actually makes even more sense.

Especially for:

A good AI prompt library is like a good template library. You still have to think, but you don’t have to start from nothing.

Speaking of prompt libraries (or should I say cheat codes)...

I liked God of Prompt enough that I put my money where my mouth is.

I joined their affiliate program, and I’ll be recommending them going forward.

Why?

Because I like helping smart business owners and fellow entrepreneurs get seen.

And because these are tools that actually save time, we can all find or work on our opportunities faster.

So if you want to check them out, here are the two packs I’d point most people to:

Business Mega Prompts

Solopreneur Mega Prompts

And while you’re there, use this…

Redefining Retirement readers get 10% off with code PROMPT10

10% isn’t a ton, but hey, a penny saved is a penny earned, as they say (or should I be saying nickel now since the penny is going extinct?!)

Tom Petty – “Runnin’ Down a Dream”

This song has aged better than most business advice.

It’s not about winning the race, it’s about staying in it.

No master plan.
No perfect timing.
Just motion.

That’s what this stage of our lives feels like for a lot of us. Trying things. Following curiosity. Saying yes to ideas that didn’t exist the last time we checked.

If you’ve ever felt late to the party or unsure if the next thing is “the one.”

This song is your reminder to put the pedal down and keep moving anyway.

Opportunities don’t reward the smartest people.

They reward the ones who keep running.

Again, you didn’t miss it; you’re just early again.

There’s always another one.

The bigger takeaway here isn’t prompts.

It’s this.

If you keep showing up, you don’t miss everything.
You just arrived early for the next thing.

That’s been true my whole career.
Still is.

Have a good one,

Corey
