SAMPLE EXAMPLE:
Problem

Opportunity

I look younger than
my age and geeky
enough that no one
takes me seriously.

Craft my image around fun, humor,
and a younger generation.

People don’t take me
seriously when they
first meet me.

Develop public speaking skills so they
have no choice but to sit and listen to
my ideas long enough to realize that if
they close their eyes, I’m worth taking
seriously.

I have way too much
writing to do every
week and it’s driving
me bonkers.

I retain rights to most of the writing,
so it can form the basis for another
book, or a series of white papers, or an
animated series starring Nicholas Cage
as the pile of stationery.

I haven’t yet recorded
my episode this week.

Get back on a wake-up-at-6:30-am
schedule and record before my
workout.
