Are you a Creator of Possibilities or a Problem Solver?
This may not be what you think it is.
Traditional marketing is about finding someone’s pain or problem and solving it.
“What problem does your ideal client have? Find that then sell them something to solve it.”
That has been advice I’ve received for over a decade now and while there’s some truth in this, I wonder what would show up in your bank account if you went beyond this obvious and overdone formula?
There is a difference between “solving a problem” and “CREATING possibilities.”
I have a philosophy about this that has been radically been changing my business, joy, and profits for the past couple of years.
This principle of “solving a problem” vs “creating a possibility” shows up everywhere and I see this being the difference between ultimately empowering your client vs enabling them.
Solving a problem puts out fires. Being a creator of possibilities generates far beyond the immediate problem to solve.
Have you noticed that solving a problem begets yet another problem and a continuous cycle of putting out fires can be the norm?

One creates something bigger.
