You walk away with 3 valuable things at the end of the 5-day challenge.

A commercially-viable solo business direction in a niche where you have clear advantage in

A business direction that says who you help, with what problem, and what transformation your customers will experience.

A compelling offer that solves a real pain point for a specific group of people

A product or service offering that says who it is for, what problem it solves, the results they get, what is included, and how long it takes to get results.

Well-positioned pricing that attracts the right customers and beats competitors

A price set against what your buyers already pay for the same problem at competitors. It needs to be what your target customers can afford to and willing to pay.

■A finished offer
