STEP 01
Mine your expertise
Notice what people already ask you for help with. Name what you’ve mastered, the challenges you’ve navigated, and the knowledge you could teach or provide.
What comes naturally to you that someone else finds difficult?

The MAP method
Mine it.
Align it.
Package it.
You don’t need to start from scratch. Use three focused lenses to see the commercial potential in the skills you’ve built over a lifetime.
For the woman people turn to for advice, the experienced professional ready for a pivot, and the teacher who has more to share.
STEP 02
Align it with a market need
Move from what you know to who needs it. Identify a specific person, a meaningful problem, and why solving it might be worth paying for.
Who would benefit most from what you know?
STEP 03
Package the possibility
Give your idea a shape: a workshop, consulting service, speaking offer, or digital product. Choose a concept you can take into real conversations and test.
What could you offer—and how could you validate demand?
