Your Prompt
Copy and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude. You can edit it here first if you want to add anything.
Claude (recommended) or ChatGPT both work. Claude's free version handles this well. Paste the prompt exactly as generated for the best results. ChatGPT allows 13 and up with a parent or guardian's permission, and Claude requires 18 or older, so if you're under 18 grab a parent for this part.
Keep this tab open. Everything below is here when you get back.

The Teen Business Blueprint. $19.97. The idea is the easy part. This is the method that turns it into something that gets paid: setting a price you can defend, what the first seven days look like, how to finish a job and collect the money before you leave, how to track what you're actually making, and how to turn one customer into a repeat one. It comes with ten worked examples, and the method runs on whatever idea you just validated, including one that isn't on the list.
Teen Business Conversation Scripts. $17. Twenty word-for-word scripts for the moments a plan doesn't cover: walking up to a first customer, saying the price without apologizing for it, what to say when someone hesitates, and how to ask for repeat work. Same scripts no matter what you're selling.
