"Most entrepreneurs share just enough to seem helpful but not enough to make an impact. They hold back their best insights, paralyzed by the fear someone might steal their ideas. Stop hovering in the middle. You can share generously while still protecting what matters. And it will grow your business. Decide what you'll share and what you'll sell. If you're the expert, be the expert."
"I want to protect my IP but I know I need to share actionable value to build trust and credibility. Create three categories: 1) Red zone content I should never share publicly, 2) Yellow zone content I can share partially or with modifications, 3) Green zone content I can share freely to build authority. For each category, give specific examples and explain the reasoning. Ask for more detail if required."
Many entrepreneurs avoid sharing their best insights due to fear of idea theft, which limits credibility and audience impact. Establish clear boundaries that separate what to share freely, what to modify, and what to never publish. Use a three-tier system—red, yellow, and green zones—to categorize proprietary methods, partially shareable material, and freely distributable content. Provide explicit examples and reasoning for each category. Create a content rulebook that defines audience, voice, and non-negotiables. Use ChatGPT prompts to generate and enforce these boundaries, and keep the same chat session to preserve context while adapting prompts to specific needs.
