Welcome to Day 2!

Now that you’ve listed a few things you’re great at, it’s time to put your wisdom into words.

Complete this sentence:

👉 “I help [type of person] [solve a problem] so they can [get a result].”

Examples:

  • I help overwhelmed parents reduce homework stress.
  • I help new retirees get their money organized.
  • I help solopreneurs simplify their week.

📝 Action: Draft 1–2 versions.

  • Say them out loud.
  • If they make sense at a dinner party, you’re on track.

See you tomorrow for Step 3: How to Validate That Idea.
