Glossary

Every key term from this course, in plain English. If a lesson ever uses a word that makes you pause, it'll be here.

Mirror Conversation

The honest self-examination in Module 1: what you're actually good at, what actually gives you energy, what you've been avoiding. No performance, just truth.

Three Buckets

Your raw material, sorted: skills (what you can do), experience (what you've lived), assets (what you own or have access to).

Fuel-Drain Ledger

Your energy audit: which activities, people, and work fill you up vs. drain you. Direction should point toward fuel, not just money.

Direction Sentence

Your ONE thing in a single sentence: who you serve, what you do for them, and how. If it takes a paragraph, you haven't found it yet.

Focus Test

The Module 4 filter: does this direction use your best skills, give you energy, and serve a real market? Three yeses or it's not the one.

Playbook Pull

Extracting the operating principles from people you admire — the how behind their results — without copying their destination.

Borrow the Map, Not the Destination

Study your models' strategies and systems, but choose your own goal. Their map, your destination.

Leverage Zone

Where your existing skills, experience, and assets overlap with market demand. Starting here beats starting from zero.

Saying No

The skill of killing good options to protect the right one. Every yes to a distraction is a no to your direction.

Three Goals

Not thirty — three. Measurable, dated, and reviewed weekly. Three goals you actually track beat thirty you forget.

90-Day Map

Your first quarter of action: weekly blocks, milestones, and the one metric that tells you if it's working.

Weekly Review

The 30-minute habit that keeps goals alive: score the week, adjust the plan, recommit. Goals without review are wishes.

Measurable and Dated

A goal isn't real until it has a number and a deadline. 'Grow the business' is a wish; '10 paying clients by June 1' is a goal.

Staying the Course

The Module 6 discipline: keep executing the 90-day map when novelty wears off and results are slow. Most people quit in week five.
