0:00If you ask an AI to write text or reply
0:03to a client and get a generic answer,
0:05you're using it wrong.
0:08AI models know every famous book on
0:10business and sales, but the problem is
0:12they don't actually use them, resulting
0:15in mediocre answers.
0:17I found a tool that turns any book into
0:19a skill. And after that, Claude or GPT
0:21starts working according to the rules of
0:23that book. In this video, I will turn
0:26five famous books into skills and show
0:28how they work on real tasks and how the
0:30result changes.
0:32And most importantly, I’ll tell you how
0:34to build the same skills even if you
0:36don't own the books.
0:37But before we start the video, I want to
0:39ask you to leave a like. It helps me a
0:41lot with promotion, and it just improves
0:44my mood. Thank you. To start, let’s
0:46understand why we should turn a book
0:47into a skill at all.
0:49After all, Claude, GPT, or any other AI
0:52model knows most books because they were
0:54trained on them, but that knowledge is
0:56barely used in practice.
0:59But if you take a book and turn it into
1:01a skill, the AI starts looking at things
1:04through the lens of that book.
1:07For example, it writes text like a
1:08professional editor, or negotiates with
1:10clients like an FBI agent.
1:14This way, you can pinpoint and upgrade
1:16any aspect of your work depending on
1:18which book you choose.
1:20And to me, this hides huge potential
1:23that is limited only by your imagination
1:25. By the way, write in the comments
1:27which book you want to turn into a skill
1:29and why. It will be very interesting for
1:31me to read. Maybe I'll take note of it
1:33too.
1:35By the way, you can find the tool for
1:37turning books into skills, as well as a
1:39guide on how to do it, at the first link
1:41in the description.
1:44I want to say right away that it doesn’t
1:46matter if you work in GPT or Claude; the
1:47skills will work in both.
1:49Well then, let’s move on to the first
1:50book. And we will start, in my opinion,
1:52with the simplest task. Writing text.
1:55The first book. "Write, Shorten." I'm
1:58sure you've encountered this problem.
1:59When you ask an AI to improve a text, it
2:02does something, but the result doesn't
2:04get any better.
2:06As an example, I took a text from a
2:08freelancer who sets up AI assistants for
2:10beauty salons.
2:11And this is the text.
2:14We are a team of AI freelancers offering
2:16innovative solutions for your business
2:18with an individual approach to every
2:20client.
2:21Blah-blah-blah. In general, below I
2:23provided real facts about the service.
2:25What the assistant can do, how much it
2:27costs? How long it takes to implement in
2:29a business, and so on. And to compare
2:31the texts not just by eye, because that
2:33would be quite subjective. I went to
2:35Glavred and provided the original text,
2:38which would be the worst one, and it
2:41scored 7.5 out of 10 points for clarity
2:44. There are 14 stop words here and these
2:46are the main issues. Now let's move on
2:49to the second version. I gave this text
2:51to Claude and asked it to improve it
2:53without any special skills. And here is
2:55the result. You can read this text and
2:58compare. And now let’s look at the score
3:00.
3:019.2 out of ten is already quite good.
3:04The previous version was 7.5.
3:06And here there are now nine stop words
3:09with these main issues. And there are
3:12certainly fewer of them.
3:13Now let’s move on to the third version,
3:16which I created using a skill from the
3:18book "Write, Shorten," and it gets 9.8
3:20out of ten.
3:22There are seven stop words left, but in
3:25my opinion, this text is a level higher
3:27, and after a few minor human edits, it
3:29can be put on a website landing page.
3:33By the way, this skill and all the
3:34others I’ll talk about in this video
3:36will be in my Telegram bot at the first
3:38link in the description.
3:39Go ahead and get it.
3:42Now let's move on to the book that
3:43really helps with negotiations, which is
3:45called "Never Split the Difference" by
3:47Chris Voss.
3:50If you didn't know, Chris Voss was an
3:52FBI negotiator for over 20 years, and
3:55then he wrote a book on how to negotiate
3:58correctly, not just in the FBI, but in
4:00business and other areas of life as well
4:03.
4:04And the situation here is familiar to
4:06any freelancer.
4:08Suppose you are making an AI bot for
4:10dental appointments for $ 900, and a
4:13client writes to you: "Another
4:14freelancer has the same thing for $ 400
4:17.
4:18Do it for $ 500 and we’ll start tomorrow
4:21. If not, I’ll go to him." At the same
4:23time, you are not ready to work for less
4:25than $ 700 per order. But the client
4:27doesn't know that.
4:28I went into the AI, provided the
4:30necessary context, then wrote the
4:32client's message and asked it to write a
4:34response. And now it will write a
4:36response without the skill. Let’s see
4:38what it comes up with. And here is what
4:39Claude wrote without the skill. It
4:41suggested two options. That is either to
4:43hold the price. "Good afternoon, thank
4:45you for being direct."
4:47Then we decline to do the work for $ 500
4:50and list what is included in those $ 900
4:52.
4:53After that, it subtly hints that the
4:55work for $ 400 might not be as high
4:57quality, and at the end, it politely
4:59finishes the message. Overall, it’s not
5:01a bad response. Let’s look at its second
5:03option.
5:04The second option is to cut the scope of
5:06work and lower the price.
5:08I don't think there's much need to
5:09analyze this one. Now let’s see how it
5:12answers with this skill.
5:14And it wrote this text: "Good afternoon
5:16, thank you for being direct."
5:18It seems 900 dollars looks like an
5:19inflated price, especially next to 400.
5:22As if I’m asking double for the exact
5:23same thing. Nobody wants to overpay.
5:26This is labeling and an accusation audit
5:28. You are the first to voice the worst
5:29the client thinks about the price. They
5:31feel heard and have no reason to
5:33pressure you. Next. If the 400-dollar
5:35option covers everything you need, I
5:37won't try to talk you out of it. This is
5:39composure without needing the deal. The
5:41phrase "I won't talk you out of it"
5:42shows the ultimatum doesn't scare you.
5:44If the deal matters more to you than to
5:46them, the price will creep down. Next. I
5:48just don’t understand how to do
5:50everything included in the 900-dollar
5:52plan for 500 dollars.
5:53You could have gone to them right away,
5:55but you wrote to me about what matters
5:57most to you in this bot. And the phrase
5:59: "You could have gone to them right
6:00away." He wrote: "So, something is
6:02keeping you there." The question helps
6:04find out what exactly and forces them to
6:06name the reason themselves. And finally
6:08. Would it be a bad idea to hop on a 15
6:10-minute call tomorrow to compare what
6:12exactly is in both offers? Actually, as
6:14a rule, I would write "a good idea" here
6:16. And here is the essence of the last
6:19suggestion.
6:20It’s a question that’s easy to answer: "
6:22No, they'll use it tomorrow, but you set
6:24the deadline."
6:25Comparing will show if the competitor
6:27really has the same thing, without you
6:29speaking poorly of them.
6:32Overall, I think you’ve realized that
6:35this skill uses many tricks you can
6:37employ in negotiations to close them in
6:39your favor and, of course, earn money.
6:43In fact, I will use this skill myself
6:45because, in my opinion, it is very
6:47useful. Book three. The Mom Test.
6:51The title of this book is certainly very
6:53interesting, but the point is that if
6:55you ask your mom or even an AI, "What do
6:57you think of my business idea?"
7:00, both your mom and the AI will likely
7:02tell you they like it.
7:05But we ask primarily to get constructive
7:07criticism and understand what can be
7:08improved.
7:10And your potential clients lie to you
7:12out of politeness in exactly the same
7:14way. Therefore, the book has three
7:16simple rules. First. Talk about the
7:19person's life, not your idea. For
7:21example, instead of asking how they like
7:24your service, you ask: "How are you
7:26currently making covers?" Second. Ask
7:29about the past, not the future. To the
7:32question: "Would you pay for this?" They
7:34might tell you out of politeness: "Yes,
7:37I might pay for that."
7:39But the question of when you last paid
7:41for a YouTube video thumbnail will show
7:43how things really stand.
7:46And third, talk less and listen more,
7:48because the more you tell someone about
7:50your idea, the more they start to just
7:52agree with you.
7:54And here is my task.
7:56Let’s say I want to launch a service
7:59that generates YouTube video thumbnails
8:01based on a description for $ 15 a month
8:04.
8:05And before launching, I want to talk to
8:08potential clients. And here is a prompt
8:10I’ve put together, which I’ll send now
8:11without the skill. I want to launch a
8:13service that makes thumbnails for
8:14YouTube videos based on their
8:16descriptions. Subscription is $ 15 per
8:18month. The target audience is beginner
8:20YouTube creators. Draft 10 questions for
8:22an interview with potential clients. And
8:24I’m sending it. And here are the
8:26questions it formulated. You can pause
8:28and read them.
8:30They aren't terrible, of course, but
8:31let’s see what comes out with the skill
8:32.
8:33And with the skill, it’s a completely
8:34different story.
8:36It said not to mention the service or
8:37the $ 15 price until the end, otherwise
8:39people will just politely praise the
8:41idea instead of talking about themselves
8:43.
8:44So, first we ask about their channel
8:46without mentioning thumbnails. Then we
8:48gradually approach the topic of
8:50thumbnails by asking these questions.
8:52Next, we move on to money and ask what
8:55the person has paid for and how much
8:57they’ve earned. And here is how to
8:59correctly interpret the answers.
9:01If thumbnails didn’t come up on their
9:03own within the first four questions,
9:04that’s a signal that they aren't the
9:05person's main problem.
9:07In that case, you should move on to the
9:09fifth question.
9:10Further, the skill suggests that the
9:12best interviewee is someone who has
9:14already paid for thumbnails, tried
9:15several tools, remade thumbnails after
9:17publishing, and generally spends money
9:19on their channel.
9:21It also notes: if you hear "usually" or
9:23"I would" during the conversation, bring
9:25them back to the facts by asking when it
9:27last happened. Do not record praise as
9:29data.
9:31In short, with this skill, you can
9:33analyze the market much more accurately
9:36, understand people's pain points, and
9:39pivot your idea in the right direction
9:41to actually solve those customer
9:44problems.
9:46The fourth book is "The Goal".
9:48It’s a great book, but I saved the best
9:50for last, so make sure to watch this
9:52video to the end.
9:55Essentially, it’s a business novel about
9:57a factory manager who is given just
9:59three months to save the plant from
10:01closure.
10:02And the whole book is about how to find
10:05the one bottleneck that is holding back
10:07the entire business. And here is my task
10:10.
10:11An owner of an online English school
10:13writes that he gets 40 leads a day, but
10:15only two payments.
10:17Because of this, he wants to increase
10:20his ad budget from 1,500 to 3,000 and
10:22provides many other details.
10:25Site conversion is low, Instagram reach
10:26has dropped, and teachers are
10:28complaining about the schedule.
10:30I wrote this prompt on behalf of the
10:33school owner and asked what I should do
10:35about all this.
10:38By the way, you can read this prompt and
10:40write in the comments what you think the
10:42problem with his business is.
10:44Done that. Good. Now let's see what
10:47Claude answers without the skill. So,
10:49Claude without the skill found the
10:52bottleneck, and it was Anna. And he saw
10:54this from the numbers. He calculated
10:56everything correctly. I won't argue with
10:58that, he handled it even without the
11:00skill. Let's read what he wrote next. I
11:03read it and here is what I found. In the
11:05third point, he suggests hiring a second
11:08manager immediately, meaning spending
11:10money.
11:11And in my opinion, this is his
11:13shortcoming, because I already have a
11:15version with the skill, and now I will
11:17show you everything. And with the skill
11:20, he suggests following the five steps
11:21from the book.
11:23First, find the constraint—which is
11:25Anna's calls. You need to squeeze the
11:28maximum out of her working time. And so
11:31that she doesn't drown in all this work
11:32, you need to unload her a bit, take
11:34correspondence and CRM away from her.
11:37And he also suggests allocating another
11:391,500 dollars for advertising to see the
11:41effect of these changes.
11:43And only then, if it doesn't work, hire
11:45a second manager. And this is what the
11:48essence of this skill is.
11:51It's that it provides a more
11:52strategically correct answer than Claude
11:55without this skill.
11:56And moving on to my last favorite book.
12:00Atomic Habits. Look, we are all human.
12:03Sometimes we get lazy.
12:05And sometimes, what we started with
12:07great enthusiasm, we just quit after a
12:09week.
12:10And I've had that happen too.
12:12But then many years ago I read the book
12:15Atomic Habits, and thanks to it, I
12:17adopted several good habits that I still
12:20follow today.
12:21But before the main task, I want to
12:24answer one question that you might have
12:27. How do I create a skill from a book
12:29that I most likely don't have?
12:32And actually, I have good news because
12:35it can be created even from open sources
12:37.
12:39These could be YouTube videos with a
12:41summary of this book, or various
12:42summaries in text form.
12:45You take all of this and combine it into
12:48one place, and that becomes a skill. And
12:51moving on to the task I want to instill
12:54in myself as a habit. Here is this
12:56prompt. I want to write a post for my
12:58Telegram channel every day, but I always
13:00quit after a week. I work from 10:00 to
13:0319:00, and I'm tired in the evening.
13:05Help me set this up. And I send this
13:08prompt. And here is what Claude wrote
13:10without skill. First, do not write in
13:13the evening. Next, separate ideas from
13:16the writing process. It’s harder to come
13:18up with an idea than to write the text.
13:20Next, record by voice and don't type. A
13:231–2 minute voice memo. Transcribe it
13:25using Whisper. 5 minutes of editing.
13:27That’s actually not a bad idea. Fourth.
13:30Lower the bar. A minimal post. Three to
13:32five sentences with a photo or one
13:34thought. Fifth. Batch on the weekend.
13:36Spend 1 hour on Saturday or Sunday
13:38writing two or three posts and schedule
13:40them. Sixth. The rule of not missing two
13:43days in a row instead of a perfect
13:45streak. By the way, this rule is from
13:47Atomic Habits. I remember it like it was
13:48yesterday. Seventh. Day-specific
13:50categories. For example, Monday:
13:52observation, Wednesday: AI, Friday:
13:54weekly reflection. Overall, I understood
13:56the points, and the advice is actually
13:58quite good. Now let’s see what it wrote
14:01with skill. And here is what it wrote
14:03with skill. People quit after a week not
14:05because of weak willpower. Motivation
14:07carries the first week, then it fades,
14:09but the post still requires coming up
14:11with a topic. First: move the post from
14:13the evening to the morning. You won't
14:15have energy in the evening, so take it
14:17off your schedule. Second. Create a
14:18minimal version of the post. On a bad
14:21day, a post is 2–3 sentences in 2
14:22minutes, and it counts as a full one.
14:25Third. Keep two backup posts. Write them
14:28over the first weekend and put them in
14:30Telegram scheduled messages. Fourth.
14:33Make progress visible. Oh, this is
14:35straight from Atomic Habits, I remember
14:37. Hang a calendar in sight and put an X
14:40right after publishing. Fifth. Create a
14:43reward right after the post.
14:45Reactions come with a delay, so open
14:47social media and news only right after
14:50publishing. Sixth. Do not miss twice in
14:53a row. And this repeats from the
14:55previous version. And it says: "Where to
14:58start?
14:59Choose a time and place, write down the
15:01phrase from the first point, jot down 10
15:02topics, and tomorrow morning publish
15:03your first post, even if it's just three
15:05sentences."
15:07Overall, this is very good advice, and
15:09it is actually from the book Atomic
15:10Habits.
15:12Be sure to watch my last video, where I
15:14talked about all the latest Claude
15:15updates and why you're missing out if
15:17you don't use them.
15:20And also subscribe to my YouTube channel
15:21if you haven't already.
15:23Bye.
