The biggest problem with potential?
YOU CAN NEVER ACTUALLY “ACHIEVE IT”
If you are like 99.9% of every other high achiever that has ever existed, at some point, you have been told you have “potential.”
Potential to succeed, to overcome, to conquer.
Potential to do more, go faster, make it farther.
And while others look at you from the outside and are blown away by all you have accomplished, you still feel like there is more you could do because of what you’ve already done.
But here’s the secret, and it’s a game-changer…
Potential is only the beginning, the spark, the starting point.
It’s the raw material, waiting for you to shape and mold into your own masterpiece. The truth is, potential alone won’t get you there; it’s the action you take, the strategies you employ, and the relentless pursuit of your goals that turn potential into reality.
So, let’s not dwell on the vastness of your potential. Instead, let’s channel that energy into concrete steps, actionable plans, and the unwavering commitment to transform your aspirations into achievements.
It’s time to harness that endless well of potential and turn it into a force to be reckoned with. Together, we’ll take your journey from “could be” to “definitely is,” and that’s a horizon worth chasing.

GET IN FRONT OF YOUR ICA SOONER
The Customer Journey comprises four distinct phases: Problem Unaware, Problem Awareness, Research, and Purchase.
While many businesses concentrate on compelling their customers to “pull the trigger” during the research phase, you can take a more proactive approach.
A “trigger event” is that moment when a buyer moves from being clueless about their problem to understanding they need a solution.
By identifying the trigger events specific to your ideal clients, you position yourself to engage them before your competitors do, priming them to your solution long before they are conscious they even need it.
(ie. creating a newsletter your client/customer needs and enjoys so you are top of mind when they have the exact problem you solve and already know you have the solution!)
PRO TIP: Interview past clients/customers and ask them about the specific events that led up to them choosing your solution for insider data!
