First steps

What now? How do I keep going alone?

The confusion after the workshop is a normal stage, not a failure. Five concrete anchors I give every graduate, to move today instead of solving everything at once.

This confusion is completely normal, and my answer to it is simple: you do not solve it all at once, you pick one anchor out of the five below and move with it today. I opened one door for you in the workshop, and behind it you found a whole rabbit hole, and that happens at the start of almost every new journey (in the alumni group it just stands out more, because there are people already building spaceships while you have barely opened a folder).

I have been walking graduates through their first days for a long time, and here is what I found: the sign you are on the right track is not a feeling of control, that comes later, it is the switch from an hour of reading to one small action with an agent. Sometimes the road with Claude will be windier than you expected, and that is actually fine, because that is how you discover things you did not even know you needed to ask about. Have a good journey.

A prompt, on the house

Your first task, agent:
1. Ask me five short questions about my business or project,
   one at a time.
2. From the answers, suggest one small, real task I can
   finish today, not tomorrow.
3. Do it with me one step at a time, and stop to ask before
   any decision you are not sure about.
4. At the end, write me three lines: what we did, and what
   the next step is.
