Day 0: Starting the 100-Day Prompt Vault Challenge

Today I’m starting an experiment that will either prove the power of building in public or expose me as completely delusional.

The challenge: Build 7,000 AI prompts in 100 days. In complete transparency. Every single day.

No fake results. No inflated claims. Just real prompts for real work, built with full accountability.

After 10+ years managing $5M+ enterprise software products, I’ve collected thousands of prompts that actually work in high-stakes environments. Now I’m systematically building 7,000 more—and you can watch every step.

Why 7,000 Prompts? (The Market Gap I Discovered)

Last month I analyzed the prompt marketplace and found something fascinating:

The problem: 90% of AI prompts online are either too generic (“write better emails”) or too complex (500-word prompt engineering nightmares).

The gap: Nobody’s building systematic, categorized prompts that progress from simple tasks to complex frameworks.

The opportunity: Create the definitive prompt library that covers every business need at every complexity level.

That’s exactly what I’m building.

The 5-Level Complexity System

Most prompt collections treat everything as equal. That’s backwards. Different problems need different complexity levels:

Level 1: Basic Tasks (30-60 seconds)

Quick, actionable prompts for immediate results:

“Create a meeting agenda for [meeting type] with time allocations…”
“Rewrite this email to be more professional while maintaining…”

Level 2: Framework Prompts (5-15 minutes)

Structured approaches and systematic thinking:

“Apply LEAN methodology to optimize [process] with waste identification…”
“Create comprehensive stakeholder strategy for [project] including power mapping…”

Level 3: Advanced Strategy (30-60 minutes)

Complex problem-solving and strategic thinking:

“Design omnichannel customer experience across all touchpoints…”
“Build systematic innovation capability with governance framework…”

Level 4: Expert Systems (2-4 hours)

Multi-step chain prompts for expert-level analysis:

“Comprehensive enterprise resource optimization (3-step process)…”
“Complete competitive intelligence and response system…”

Level 5: Master Frameworks (Full day projects)

Meta-systems and transformation-level thinking:

“Enterprise evolution orchestrating multiple transformation initiatives…”
“Future-proofing innovation with scenario planning and adaptation systems…”

Each level builds on the previous one, creating a logical progression from basic productivity to strategic mastery.

The 7 Category Vault System

Rather than random prompts, I’m building systematic coverage across the areas that matter most:

1. Business Operations (1,000 prompts)

Process optimization, team productivity, project management, quality systems, resource planning

2. Marketing & Sales (1,000 prompts)

Content marketing, sales enablement, digital marketing, brand strategy, analytics optimization

3. Content & Writing (1,000 prompts)

Business writing, creative content, technical documentation, social media, educational content

4. Online Business Building (1,000 prompts)

Business validation, lead generation, product launches, sales conversion, growth scaling

5. Leadership & Strategy (1,000 prompts)

Strategic planning, decision making, team leadership, change management, executive communication

6. Personal & Professional Development (1,000 prompts)

Productivity systems, skill development, career planning, health optimization, financial planning

7. AI Agents & Automation (1,000 prompts)

Workflow automation, AI agent scripts, integration templates, chain prompts, advanced techniques

Day 0 Results: Foundation Complete

Today I built the foundation: 74 prompts across all 5 complexity levels.

Level breakdown:

Level 1: 30 basic task prompts (#1-30)
Level 2: 17 framework prompts (#31-47)
Level 3: 12 advanced strategy prompts (#48-59)
Level 4: 11 expert system prompts (#60-70)
Level 5: 4 master framework prompts (#71-74)

Category distribution:

Business Operations: 15 prompts
Marketing & Sales: 15 prompts
Content & Writing: 15 prompts
Leadership & Strategy: 15 prompts
Personal Development: 14 prompts

Every prompt is tested for real applications, categorized by use case, and ready to copy-paste.

The Build-in-Public Experiment

This isn’t just about creating prompts. It’s about testing whether consistent, transparent building creates genuine value.

Daily commitments:

70 new prompts created every day
Progress shared across all platforms
Weekly deep-dive blog posts
Complete transparency on successes and failures
Real metrics, no vanity numbers

What you get by following:

Select daily prompts shared on X/Twitter
Weekly exclusive content for supporters
Behind-the-scenes insights on building in public
Complete access to the methodology

How to Follow the Journey

Daily Updates:

The Complete Vault:

The finished vault launches on Day 100 with all 7,000 prompts, organized by category and complexity. Starting price: $10 for the first hour, then rising hourly until it reaches final price.

What Makes This Different

Most prompt collections: Random assortment of generic prompts
The Prompt Vault: Systematic progression from basic to mastery level

Most building-in-public: Vague updates and vanity metrics
This challenge: Daily transparency with real numbers

Most “expert” advice: Recycled internet wisdom
My approach: 10+ years of enterprise experience in high-stakes environments

Most free content: Gives away best work hoping for likes
This strategy: Demonstrates value consistently, then monetizes appropriately

The Reality Check

This is a massive undertaking. 70 prompts per day for 100 days while maintaining quality standards and building an audience.

I might burn out by Day 30. The prompts might become repetitive by Day 50. The audience might lose interest by Day 70.

But if it works, it proves that consistent value creation in public can build real business value. It shows that expertise + transparency + persistence = sustainable revenue.

And if it doesn’t work, at least you’ll have watched an entertaining failure unfold in real time.

Day 1 Preview

Tomorrow starts the real work. Day 1 focus: Business Operations Level 1 prompts.

Target: 70 new prompts (#75-144) covering:

Meeting optimization
Email management
Process documentation
Team coordination
Performance tracking

Plus the daily content across all platforms and the first exclusive content for community members.

Join the Experiment

This only works if people actually follow along. I need:

Feedback on which prompts are most valuable
Suggestions for gaps and improvement opportunities
Accountability to keep going when motivation drops
Community of people who value systematic, quality work

Join the inner circle for exclusive content

100 days. 7,000 prompts. Complete transparency.

Let’s see what’s possible when you build consistently in public.

Day 1 starts tomorrow.
