BREAKING: Google released a professional headshot prompting guide.

1. Take a clear photo of yourself.
2. Upload it to Gemini, by Google.
3. Click “Tools” and then “create images.”
4. Make sure it's on "Thinking" (bottom left).
5. Use this prompt guide: https://lnkd.in/dqKd-qGM.

____

Prompt: "A professional, high-resolution, profile photo, maintaining the exact facial structure, identity, and key features of the person in the input image. The subject is framed from the chest up, with ample headroom and negative space above their head, ensuring the top of their head is not cropped. The person looks directly at the camera, and the subject's body is also directly facing the camera. They are styled for a professional photo studio shoot, wearing a smart casual blazer. The background is a solid '# 141414' neutral studio. Shot from a high angle with bright and airy soft, diffused studio lighting, gently illuminating the face and creating a subtle catchlight in the eyes, conveying a sense of clarity. Captured on an 85mm f/1.8 lens with a shallow depth of field, exquisite focus on the eyes, and beautiful, soft bokeh. Observe crisp detail on the fabric texture of the blazer, individual strands of hair, and natural, realistic skin texture. The atmosphere exudes confidence, professionalism, and approachability. Clean and bright cinematic color grading with subtle warmth and balanced tones, ensuring a polished and contemporary feel."

tl;dr:
✦ Get your angle right. 
✦ Lighting is everything. 
✦ Dress for the job you want. 
✦ Use a solid, neutral studio background.

Stop using ChatGPT for everything.

Here is a better AI, for each category:

1. ChatGPT + slides = gamma.app

☑ Create beautiful decks in seconds.
☑ Works like ChatGPT, with text prompts.

2. ChatGPT + writing = claude.ai

☑ It's much better to write with taste.
☑ It sounds better, more human than ChatGPT.
☑ Pro tip: teach it your "style", it's the best feature.

3. ChatGPT + voice-to-text = wispr.ai

This AI is the "ChatGPT to find people".

And I can't believe what just happened:

It's a public dataset from Bright Data.

1. It's free. You create an account in like 1 min.
2. You prompt it like ChatGPT, "Find all [x people]".
3. You wait 5-15 min, and you have a complete list. 
4. Export your entire list to an Excel, with URLs.

ChatGPT can't. Not even Linkedin?

I have every AI consultant in NYC, SF & London.

This should take weeks, and $$$$ of dollars.

How to get ChatGPT to never sound like an AI again:

(save it for later, to copy & paste)

Prompt: "Act as my Anti-AI-Voice Editor.

When I paste text after this, rewrite it so it reads like a clear, specific human. Not like ChatGPT, Claude, or a generic “AI thought leader”.

Rules:

1. Preserve content, change only the voice

* Keep my ideas, claims, POV, tense, and person (I/you/we).
* Keep roughly the same length and structure unless the structure is a banned pattern.
* Don’t invent stories, numbers, or promises.
* Output only the edited text. No notes.

2. Hard-ban words (remove/replace with short, concrete language)

3. Hard-ban expression patterns — with approved rewrites

For each pattern below, detect exact or loose matches and rewrite using one of the “Use instead” options.

A) The “IN A WORLD WHERE” DRAMA
Formula: “In a world where [scary/overwhelming change], [virtue/edge] becomes [currency/advantage].”
Use instead (pick one):

* Today, [specific change]. So [practical implication for the reader].
* Because [concrete change], do [specific action] to get [specific result].

B) The “MOST PEOPLE VS FEW WHO” SPLIT
Formula: “Most people [lazy thing]. The few who win [disciplined thing].”
Use instead:

* Among [group], [specific stat/observation]. What works: [one tactic].
* Personal stance: I do [specific practice] to avoid [specific downside].

C) The “STOP DOING X. START DOING Y.” SWITCH
Formula: “Stop [old habit]. Start [new habit].”
Use instead:

* If you’re doing [X], switch to [Y] when [condition], because [reason].
* Replace [X] with [Y]: [1–3 concrete steps the reader can take].

The One Prompt For ChatGPT-5.1 

(to copy & paste, save for later)

Full GPT-5.1 guide: https://lnkd.in/dvP8QD_i
___

Act like the {ROLE best suited to this task}.

Goal: {OUTCOME}

Inputs:
- Context (audience, use-case, channel):
- Preferences (tone, length, language, formatting):
- Constraints (time/budget/policy/risk):
- Data / links:

Missing info & assumptions:
- If something truly blocks a good answer, ask 3 focused questions in one batch.
- If details are fuzzy but not blocking, state your assumptions explicitly and continue without waiting.

Solution persistence:
- Act as a senior autonomous collaborator.
- Once the goal is clear, gather context, plan, and carry the work to a complete, usable result in this reply.
- Do not stop at analysis or generic advice; produce concrete outputs (drafts, plans, code, examples) where relevant.
- If the user asks “should we do X?” and “yes” is reasonable, also show or draft how to do X instead of leaving them to follow up.

Working style:
- Be direct, practical, and truth-seeking.
- Avoid filler, repeated acknowledgments, or process narration unless explicitly requested.
- Think carefully before answering; check for obvious gaps or contradictions, then respond once using the structure above.

RIP software.

This AI builds any software (in seconds):

And no. I don't talk about Lovable, but Blink.

It took me 10 minutes to 1) prompt 2) create 3) host on a domain 4) and make an entire software usable.

Here's the step-by-step (from the video):

1. Go to Blink .new
2. Upload pictures of the software you want to copy.
3. Or give it a prompt. Here's mine from the video:

Prompt: "Build a Typeform competitor."

4. Once you have generated the software, test it.
5. If there is an error, say it. It will correct it.
6. You can connect your Stripe to receive payments.
7. It's already hosted on a domain (with a URL).

The software industry is worth over $200 billion.

And AI is replacing it with screenshots & prompts.

The Anatomy of a GPT-5.1 Prompt:

1. Role
Assign a clear identity for the model. Define who it should “be” while solving the task.

(to read the full guide on GPT-5.1: https://lnkd.in/dmcdTuY6)
 
2. Primary Objective
State the core outcome you expect. Keep it direct and actionable so the model knows what success looks like.

3. Scope
Outline what the model should focus on — and what it should avoid. Give boundaries that keep answers relevant.

4. Tone and Style
Specify the voice, phrasing, and level of formality you want. This ensures responses feel consistent and on-brand.

5. Structure
Explain how the answer should be organized. Use short paragraphs by default, and rely on bullets only when needed for clarity.

6. Autonomy and Reasoning
Tell GPT-5.1 to think through the task. Ask for structured reasoning, and allow it to make sensible assumptions instead of bouncing decisions back.

7. Tool Usage (Optional)
If tools or external steps are available, define how and when they should be used to ground suggestions.

8. Verbosity and Limits
Set expectations for depth and length. Keep responses concise unless the task requires more detail.

9. Interaction & Closing
Guide how the model should wrap up: no repetition, no apologies, and always end with a clear next step.

Personally, I love "Efficient" and this prompt:

---- 

PROMPT: 

Write like a direct, skeptical expert helping a smart but busy founder.

Style:
* Be concise and practical first. Cut filler and small talk.
* Use clear, straightforward English at ~8th-grade level.
* Prefer short sentences and short paragraphs.
* Avoid emojis, exclamation marks, buzzwords, metaphors, and motivational fluff.
* Do not use em dashes (“—”) but replace them with starting a new sentence or using a comma instead.

Stance:
* Assume I’m ENTJ (the MBTI personality): I value straight answers, strong opinions, and clear trade-offs.
* Get to the point quickly; lead with the answer or recommendation.
* Take a forward-thinking, innovative view, but stay grounded in reality and constraints.
* Push back if my assumptions look wrong. Avoid simply agreeing.

Reasoning & accuracy:
* You are an expert who double-checks important claims and is openly skeptical.
* When facts may be outdated or uncertain, say what you know, what you don’t, and what you’re inferring.
* When appropriate, use the web to verify time-sensitive or niche information and cite key sources briefly.

Working style:
* If crucial information is missing, ask up to 3 focused questions in one batch; otherwise state your assumptions explicitly and proceed.
* Prioritise decision-useful answers over theory. Always show what to do next.

GrowedIn

LinkedIn is ingrained in our DNA. It's an integral part of who we are.

I've successfully nurtured my own LinkedIn account, growing it from scratch to now amassing over 37,000 engaged followers.

This has led to three key outcomes: a consistent flow of connection requests from relevant individuals, a steady influx of inbound leads, and significant engagement when I share my thoughts through LinkedIn posts.

Recognizing the power of LinkedIn, I created GrowedIn to extend my expertise and support others in achieving similar success, primarily VPs and C-level executives.

Over the past two years, we have worked with more than 40 executives, helping them in building a strong and powerful LinkedIn presence.

We thrive when working with clients who are fully committed to growing their LinkedIn influence and impact. Most of them experience a growth of 10-25% in post impressions within the first 90 days.

If you'd like to work with us, check out our case studies or book a call using the links below.

Founder & CEO

GrowedIn Digital (Previously Savisha Marketing)

We specialize in writing blogs, handling SEO, and creating graphic visuals.

If you'd like us to take care of any of your content requirements, shoot me a DM or send an email at hello@growedin.digital.

Chief Executive Officer

I began by managing a large-scale Question Bank project for schools with nearly 200,000 questions. 

This experience taught me valuable lessons in leadership, management, and attention to detail.

After successfully completing the Question Bank project, I had the privilege of forming and leading a team of writers. Together, we handled numerous writing projects and helped clients gain visibility via Google Search.

As the company grew, I took on more responsibilities, including writing blogs and handling Quora marketing for well-known Indian brands.

Content Manager

This position marked my entry into the professional world - marketing, freelancing, SEO, and other cool stuff.

I spent close to 2 months working on a fairly simple Question Bank project writing about 100 MCQs a day.

Content Writer

GrowedIn Academy

Bringing quality education to learners and helping experts become top-notch teachers.

LinkedIn Leadership Playbook launching in February 2025. Join the waitlist: growedin.link/academy.

Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer

Keyur Kumbhare

On my personal website, I sometimes write essays on productivity, side hustles, and leadership.

I also regularly send out a weekly newsletter called Sunday Pills, where I explore five thought-provoking ideas. Each issue can be conveniently read within a concise 10-minute timeframe. (Link below)

Content Creator

Thrive Content

Thrive Content marked my very first business venture.

Our vision was to establish a platform that revolutionized the content creation process, enabling clients to effortlessly place an order within a mere 5 minutes and receive the final written piece in just 48 hours.

Think of it as Freelancer.com or Upwork, but with a curated team of highly skilled freelancers.

We aimed to solve the challenges commonly associated with content mills.

Our approach was simple: a talented team of writers could select projects based on their preference, eliminating the need for bidding and uncertain project allocation. For clients, it offered a hassle-free way to quickly order content while ensuring top-notch quality.

We had to shut this down as we couldn't crack the user acquisition strategy.

Co-Founder

Humanbot Pty Ltd

During my time at Humanbot, I gained valuable experience in content planning and strategy.

Working alongside a talented team of copywriters and SEO experts, our main focus was to create engaging messaging that captured the attention of our target audience and encouraged them to take action, such as booking a call.

I primarily worked on technical topics, delving into the details to provide valuable content.

Additionally, I was responsible for writing and publishing monthly blog posts to boost the company's online presence and connect with relevant audiences.

This role gave me fairly good exposure to how content marketing really works and made me realize its importance in the long term.

Content Marketing Manager

LinkedIn personal branding for VPs and C-level executives | CEO @ GrowedIn

Hi, I’m Keyur, Founder & CEO at GrowedIn.

We specialise in LinkedIn personal branding for VPs and C-level executives.

Let me share a quick story of how I got here.

Back when I was 16, I started writing on Quora. After 2 years, I landed my first writing gig.

Within a month, I was asked to build a team of writers for a project. While I enjoyed writing (and still do), there was something more exciting about building a team and managing the entire project.

In due course, I took charge of 90% of the content operations at the firm.

Then, in 2020, COVID hit. Most companies cut down on their marketing budget to almost nil. I had to now figure out whether to continue working with the firm or focus on academics and get a decent-paying job.

I did not want to work a 9-5, doing something that I didn’t enjoy. I wanted time freedom. I wanted to build something valuable.

Everyone was into building software, so I figured that was a quick way to make money. We built something that no one needed. The project was dropped a few months later.

As soon as we outsourced the production, we had to start making noise. LinkedIn was the best place. Within a month of posting consistently on LinkedIn, 2 things happened:

1. I ran out of ideas to write about our product.
2. I was starting to enjoy being active on LinkedIn.

I switched to writing about productivity and side-hustles instead. Around a month later, my LinkedIn account blew up. I went from 1000 followers to 7000+ followers in just a few weeks. 

It felt amazing.

Justin Welsh invited me to conduct a LinkedIn workshop for his community. I had to speak in front of 100+ entrepreneurs.

Everyone loved it and one of them reached out asking if I could write LinkedIn posts for him.

This was when I built GrowedIn.

Having worked with 40+ LinkedIn profiles over the past 2 years, we’re now experts in LinkedIn ghostwriting for C-level executives, which is our primary service. We also help with the following:

- LinkedIn Account Management
- LinkedIn Social Selling
- LinkedIn Consulting
- LinkedIn Training 

While many marketing agencies may lure with affordable prices, they often sacrifice quality. At GrowedIn, we prioritize delivering relevant and impactful messaging through your LinkedIn posts, ensuring that your profile authentically represents your true self.

If you’d like to level up your LinkedIn game, build a strong, credible, and authentic LinkedIn brand, feel free to:

1. Shoot me a DM
2. Send me an email at keyur@growedin.com

A few months back, I had the chance to speak at the Growth Amplified series hosted by DSP Mutual Fund.

When Chirag first reached out, I remember feeling unsure. I was unsure if I could bring enough value to a completely new audience. It is one thing to speak to people who already know your work. It is very different when you walk into a room where you have to earn attention from the first minute.

But I am glad I agreed to do it.
 
The session turned out to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of my year. The questions were thoughtful, the conversations were honest, and the room had a level of curiosity that made the whole experience memorable.

Last week, DSP sent over a small token of appreciation. It was a simple gesture, but it meant a lot. More than the gift itself, it was the feeling that the work landed well and the partnership mattered.

Thank you, Chirag, and the entire DSP team. I am looking forward to everything we can build together in the coming year and beyond.

Managing Partner @ GrowedIn Group | LinkedIn Marketing | Digital Growth

Something I keep noticing in my own life, and in people around me, is this:

A lot of our “problems” are actually insecurities we do not want to look at.

We blame the job, the manager, the market, the city, the relationship.

But underneath, there is often something else:

- Fear of not being good enough
- Fear of being rejected
- Fear of being seen trying and failing

So we package these fears as “practical reasons” and keep moving.

Wrong role. Wrong boss. Wrong timing. Wrong industry. 

Sometimes that is true. Often, it is not.

Most of the time, the real issue is an insecurity we have not been honest about with ourselves.

It sits in the background and quietly shapes our choices, our reactions, and the limits we place on our own life.

The hard part is not fixing everything.
The hard part is naming it.

Saying to yourself, very plainly:
“I am not taking this risk because I am scared of looking stupid.”
“I am staying in this place because I am scared I will not find better.”
“I am avoiding this conversation because I am scared of conflict.”

Once you name it, the problem stops being this big, vague cloud. It becomes something you can work with.

You may still choose the safer option. You may still hold back.

But at least now you know why. And from that place, change is possible.

Most of our life opens up the moment we are willing to be honest about what we are insecure about.

A lot of people feel unhappy because they expect to have time, money, and energy all at once. It sounds ideal, but in reality, these three rarely show up in the same season of life.

In the early years, most of your progress comes from trading time for money. You put in long hours, learn fast, take on more than your job description, and slowly build leverage. This stage feels tiring, but it is necessary.

If you do that stage well, you eventually earn the ability to use money to buy back your time. You can delegate more, automate more, and choose better opportunities. Life becomes less reactive and more intentional.

When you make that transition early enough, something important happens. You still have the energy to use your time well. You are not burnt out, cynical, or drained. You’re able to think clearly, create, take risks, and build with purpose.

Having time, money, and energy at the same time is rare. Most people never experience all three together, and when they do, it often lasts only for a short window.

If you’re in that window today, even briefly, acknowledge it. It means you’ve played the early stages well, and you’ve earned a place most people never reach.

If you’re not, keep going. The sequence takes time, but it works.

We are moving into a world where soft skills are becoming the real differentiators.

Not because technical work is going away, but because more of it is slowly being handled by AI. The tools keep improving, and what once needed deep technical muscle is now becoming far more accessible.

What cannot be automated is how you think, how you communicate, and how you work with people. Customer experience, communication, and original thinking are becoming the core skills for almost every role. In the future, most jobs will feel client facing in one way or another.

I speak with a lot of candidates, and something I notice again and again is this. Many are good at their craft. But the ones who truly stand out are the ones who can explain ideas clearly, think creatively, ask better questions, and collaborate without ego.

These are the people who will thrive. They make teams better. They make customers feel understood. They help ideas move from draft to reality.

The opposite is also true. If someone relies only on technical skill and ignores communication, presentation, or independent thinking, it becomes harder for them to grow. Being great at the work is not enough if others cannot understand it or work with it.

The future belongs to people who can do the work and also articulate the work. 

People who can think clearly, speak clearly, and create great customer experiences while doing it. People who can build and collaborate.

The combination is where real leverage comes from.

There is always a quiet expectation people carry about you. They may not say it, but they have a sense of how you work and what you will deliver. Everyone sets a baseline in their mind.

Most people simply meet that baseline. They do what is expected and stop. It is safe and familiar.

But the real impact comes from the small space above that line. The extra clarity in your work, the thoughtfulness you add, the follow-through that makes someone else’s job easier. These small things shift how people experience you.

In business, that gap builds trust. When you consistently deliver slightly more than expected, clients remember. Partners rely on you without hesitation. Trust grows in the margins.

In leadership, that gap builds respect. Preparation, steady judgment, and taking responsibility before you are asked change how people see you. Respect is formed in the details.

In relationships, that same gap builds goodwill. Showing up a little more fully, listening a little longer, being present when it matters. These moments stay with people.

The extra does not have to be dramatic. It just needs to be consistent. That small gap between expected and delivered becomes your advantage. It shapes your reputation more than almost anything else.

The baseline is what people assume you will do. The extra is what they never forget.

A few weeks back, I picked up Built to Sell by John Warrillow after Abhijeet Mukherjee mentioned it in one of his comments on someone’s post.

Finished it last week, and it turned out to be one of the most refreshing reads I’ve had in a long time. 

Simple ideas, sharp thinking, and very real lessons on how to build a business that can actually scale.

A few things that stayed with me:

- A business becomes valuable only when it can run without you.
- Focus is a strength. Specialisation creates clarity and demand.
- Offering everything to everyone quietly destroys your positioning.
- Repeatable systems beat hero-driven execution every single time.
- Say no more often so you can say yes to the right work.
- You are not building a job. You are building an asset.

And honestly, the biggest lesson here might be this:

Pay attention to book recommendations from people you trust. They often know exactly what you should read before you do. :)

One of the most useful traits you can build over time is the ability to think and act logically instead of emotionally.

So many of the mistakes we make in life come from the two extremes we do not notice in the moment: being too excited or being too anxious.

When you are excited, everything looks like an opportunity.
You overcommit, you say yes too fast, you underestimate the cost.

When you are anxious, everything looks like a threat.
You hesitate, you avoid, you talk yourself out of things that could have helped you grow.

Neither state is a good place to make decisions from.

Learning to pause, slow down, and look at the situation without the emotional noise is a skill that pays you for the rest of your life.

Your clarity improves.
Your decisions get better.
Your outcomes get better.

Logic does not remove emotion. It just stops emotion from running the whole show.
