What Is “Unique Genius”?
Your life purpose translated into fulfilling work that generates money
Why Unique Genius Matters
• As you get clear on it, you will inspire people and they will want to help you
• They will bring you uniquely fulfilling opportunities and clients
• Thus it attracts your dream business and a flow of money
• You will have clarity on how to work through inspiration rather than motivation!
The Value Of Clarity
• More clarity on your Unique Genius = the easier it is to attract your dream business
• Would you listen to a radio station saying ”we play Jazz, HipHop, Rock n Roll, Country, & Classics at 106.5, 89.1, 99.3 and 104.5...we can play anything anywhere!”
