What it's for
You want to start something, but you don't have an idea yet. Or you have a few and don't know which one you can really try. Use it before you pick anything.
Pairs well with
- Safe Money and Time Planner (works out your money and time limits with formulas)
- What Kind of Business Fits You? (the next step)
What you'll leave with
- A one-page "What I Bring" profile: your strengths, reach, resources and limits, in plain words.
- A few strengths you probably take for granted, backed by things you've actually done.
- A clear picture of who you could really reach for a conversation.
- Safe boundaries for a first small step: how much money you'll risk, how many hours you'll give, and what's off limits.
Look inside
How to use it
Work through the steps in order. Each one has a worked example and space to write your own answer.
- What People Already Trust You WithList what people come to you for, then turn labels like "organized" into real proof.
- The World You Know From the InsideWrite what you know about a field or community, and mark whether you saw it, were told it, or are guessing.
- Who You Can Actually ReachName the people who'd take your call, the ones an introduction away, and the places you could show up.
- Money, Hours and EnergyWrite the money you could lose without anything at home changing, the hours you can count on, and when you have real energy.
- Your Hard LimitsWrite down what your life won't bend around.
- Read What You WroteStep back, look for patterns, and check the signs to slow down.
- Tools That Help HereSee the free tools that help, if you want them.
- Do It With AICopy the ready-made prompts into a free AI tool to find skills you buried in old job descriptions.
- Your "What I Bring" ProfileFill in the one-page summary and your boundaries for a first small step.
Tips
- Use the numbers from your worst normal week, not your best one. The workbook shows you why.
- Ask two people who know you well what they come to you for. It's free, and usually more honest than a quiz.
- Keep the profile. Update it when something real changes, like a new job or a new baby.
