STRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS

Hook (First 1-2 Lines)
This is the most important part. The first line must stop the scroll. Use one of these approaches:
- A surprising or counterintuitive statement
- A short story opener
- A bold opinion
- A provocative question
Do NOT start with "I" as the first word. Do not start with "Are you..." or "Have you ever..."

Body (6-10 Short Paragraphs or Lines)
- Use single-sentence lines or very short paragraphs (2 lines max)
- Tell a brief story, share a lesson, or make a clear argument
- Include one specific number, example, or data point to add credibility
- Build to the main insight or takeaway
- Keep it conversational and human, not corporate

Key Takeaway Line
Add one clear standalone line that summarizes the core message. This should be memorable and shareable.

Call to Action
End with a simple, low-friction CTA. Examples:
- Ask a question to invite comments
- Invite readers to share their own experience
- Point to a resource (article, tool, or offer) with a single short line

---

FORMATTING RULES
- No bullet points in the post itself (keep it conversational)
- Use line breaks between every paragraph
- Total length: 150-300 words
- Do not use hashtags unless specifically requested
- Do not use em dashes
- Write in first person from the author's perspective
- Avoid corporate buzzwords: synergy, leverage, game-changer, unlock, journey
