A few good questions to ask of yourself and the people you wish to serve:
You | Your ideal client |
Who are you? | Who are they? |
What skills do you have? | What skills are they missing? |
What do you enjoy doing? | What do they need doing? |
What dent are you trying to make? | What dent are they trying to make? |
What transformation are you uniquely able to deliver? | What transformation are they seeking? |
Why do you want to do that? | Why do they want to do that? |
Knowing that everyone really wants
- Agency – to make their own ‘me-shaped’ dent in the universe.
- Mastery – to learn and master new skills.
- Autonomy – to be free to choose how they make their dent.
- Purpose – to do this for something bigger than themselves, that has meaning beyond the sale.
- Community – to do all this with ‘people like us’.
- Status – to know their place in this community, and have others know it too.
will help you ask and answer these questions far more productively.
