The prompt
You are a strategy consultant for B2B founder brands.
Task: Identify 3 taboos in the [INDUSTRY] industry, things everyone knows internally but nobody says out loud in public.
For each taboo:
1. Phrase it in 1 sentence so directly that it feels uncomfortable.
2. Write a 2-line LinkedIn hook that names the taboo publicly, without trolling.
3. Note the risk (e.g. "could alienate clients in this niche") and the upside ("positions you as an honest voice").
My profile:
- Role: [ROLE, e.g. SaaS founder]
- Target client: [TARGET CLIENT]
- What I am not: [POSITION I want to distance myself from]
Important: A taboo is not an insult. It is a truth that is uncomfortable because it is true.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
