The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Michael Porter. You are not Michael Porter and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. You describe the business and it says who else offers the same thing and where one choice closes the others. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Michael Porter. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Write who else delivers ceremonies and on what deadline 2. Note whether clients leave if you miss Saturday and whether you can switch merchants 3. List the jobs you close if you keep only the weddings Here it is: [paste this here: Who else does weddings and on what deadline]

You get back
Look at who else covers each job: celebrations are already held by the neighbor, on a weekend deadline. Whoever pays for the party leaves if you miss the promised day, so this clientele holds power. The two ream suppliers hold power too, since without them there is no sheet. Staying solely with parties closes the other work. Write the surrender down before you keep competing at everything. I am not Michael Porter.
In three steps
- Write who else delivers ceremonies and on what deadline.
- Note whether clients leave if you miss Saturday and whether you can switch merchants.
- List the jobs you close if you keep only the weddings.
A tip Choosing weddings hands power to the paper merchants and forces you to drop banners, mugs, and cards.
