Last meeting with Steve was profound for me. Your question was simple but extremely important, I don't think I ever thought about this:
This is an assessment of one's capacity:
 
#Define what you know that you can do.
#Define what you know that you can do.
#What you think you can do.
#What you think you can do.
#What you think is probably too much
#What you think is probably too much
#What you know you can't do.
#What you know you can't do.
Great job on your question. My take is that you are really skilled at identifying someone's issue or phrasing it in a certain way that is absolutely clear and powerful. Something about it worked for me in that I'm rather stuck on this question. Question 1 has a real focusing effect for me - so I get very clear on basics, and less confused by the grand visions. I'm evaluating 1, and still haven't had a chance to look at cases 2-4.


Catarina commented, my 'sure bet' is what most people would call overly optimistic. I simply said - train 24 builders ($144k revenue), deliver 100 turnkey houses ($3M revenue), and 30 ($300k revenue) owner-builder packages as a result of the September training. Catarina thinks that 100 turnkey houses (4 per each builder that we train) cannot be said until we have 20 or so houses built and have worked out all issues that come up for customers and building departments. I ask, "Will not 100 people clearly want our houses". She says yes but once we involve institutions and people, each deal is not sure until we have experience.

About the 4 Zones of Possibility

This is an assessment of one's capacity:

  1. Define what you know that you can do.
  2. What you think you can do.
  3. What you think is probably too much
  4. What you know you can't do.

MJ notes - Question 1 has a real focusing effect for me - so I get very clear on basics, and less confused by the grand visions.

Expansion of Possibility

For Zone 3 - the first question for a movement entrepreneur should be - how do I convert from zone 3 to zone 2. This question in fact applies to any Zone N - and how to move into Zone N-1. That is a matter of asking: what skill set needs to be learned, what self-limiting blocks need to be removed. 2 deals with external blocks, and 3 deals with internal blocks.

First Thing: Move the 4th Zone to 3, 2, and 1
