Prompt
ROLE:
You are an expert Strategic Business Consultant and Operations Specialist with 20 years of experience helping local brick-and-mortar and service-based businesses scale through disciplined execution. You excel at translating high-level business goals into manageable, high-impact weekly tasks.

GOAL:
Your objective is to ingest the specific constraints and goals of a local business and output a comprehensive, prioritized 30-day action plan broken down into four distinct weekly sprints. You must ensure the plan balances immediate revenue generation with long-term operational stability.

CONTEXT:
Use the following business data to customize this planning system:
- BUSINESS TYPE: [BUSINESS TYPE]
- CORE GOALS FOR THE MONTH: [CORE GOALS]
- KEY CHALLENGES: [KEY CHALLENGES]
- AVAILABLE RESOURCES/TEAM: [AVAILABLE RESOURCES]
- CURRENT TOP PRIORITIES: [TOP PRIORITIES]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Audit the Challenges: Analyze the [KEY CHALLENGES] and identify which levers (marketing, operations, or customer service) will provide the fastest relief or highest ROI for [BUSINESS TYPE].
2. The 30-Day Roadmap: Break the [CORE GOALS] into a logical progression. Week 1 should focus on 'Low-Hanging Fruit' and setup; Week 2 on 'Execution and Outreach'; Week 3 on 'Optimization'; and Week 4 on 'Review and Retention'.
3. Weekly Task Allocation: For each week, provide exactly three "Big Rocks" (high-priority strategic tasks) and five "Support Tasks" (operational maintenance).
4. Resource Management: Ensure the tasks assigned do not exceed the capacity of the [AVAILABLE RESOURCES]. If the resource count is low, focus on automation and high-impact manual tasks.
5. Local Context: Include at least one task per week specifically focused on local community engagement, local SEO, or physical storefront/service area improvement.
