🎅 Five Prompts Santa Would Use If He Ran an Online Business

🔥

If Santa can run global logistics with one night of annual output and a workforce of highly unionised elves, the least we can do is borrow some of his strategic thinking.

These five prompts are the kind he’d slip into his sleigh-side notebook.

Smart. Efficient. Mildly judgmental.

Zero tinsel-based nonsense.

Pop them into your favourite LLM, personalise the brackets, and watch them behave like a cosy little shortcut to transparency.

🎄 1️⃣ The Nice-List Income Review

Create a clear annual breakdown of my business performance using these inputs: niche = [your niche], offer = [your offer], audience = [your audience], price point = [your price], core problem solved = [problem], and main bottleneck = [bottleneck]. Analyse what actually produced results, what delivered the highest return on effort and what should receive more of my attention next year. Present everything as a simple summary I can act on confidently.

Santa’s spin: Because even he checks his numbers twice.

🎁 2️⃣ The Elf-Efficiency Audit

Map how my time, energy, and decision-making have been used this year, using: main tasks = [tasks], recurring responsibilities = [responsibilities], growth priorities = [priorities], and the areas that feel overcomplicated = [your list]. Categorise these by efficiency, impact and effort. Recommend what to streamline, what to simplify, and what to stop doing so my workload feels lighter but produces stronger results.

Santa’s spin: Elves don’t multitask. Neither should you.

🦌 3️⃣ The Rudolph Visibility Boost

Analyse my current visibility system using: platforms = [platforms], frequency = [frequency], core topic pillars = [pillars], audience pain points = [pain points], and goal for the next quarter = [goal]. Identify the strongest angles for content that actually converts, highlight gaps in message clarity, and outline a simple weekly rhythm that builds audience trust without draining my energy.

Santa’s spin: There’s a reason he uses a glowing-nose brand ambassador.

🍪 4️⃣ The Milk-and-Cookies Momentum Plan

Using my current habits, preferred working style = [your style], energy levels = [energy], and the outcomes I want next year = [your outcomes], design a momentum plan that keeps progress steady without relying on motivation. Include practical rules for execution, decision filters that remove friction, and one small daily action that compounds significantly over time.

Santa’s spin: Consistency beats chaos. Also, snacks help.

🎀 5️⃣ The Christmas-Eve Clarity Vision

Write a first-person vision of my business next year using the following: ideal income structure = [income], ideal work pattern = [pattern], ideal customer experience = [experience], and the long-term direction I want = [direction]. Describe what it feels like, what systems support it, and what becomes simpler. Then translate that into the three priorities I should start with in January.

Santa’s spin: The man plans 364 days ahead for one single deadline. Respect.

Your turn.

Run the prompts. Save the outputs.

Then drop one thing that surprised you in the comments so everyone else gets a little holiday magic from your insights.

🥳Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, Happy Hanukkah, Eid Mubarak, Happy Diwali, Happy Winter Solstice and wishing you peace and joy this season!
