Homework - Day 5!
1. Curiosity-driven Your Numbers Already Know What You're Afraid to Ask Why book it: it's an irresistible line for an agenda — people can't help wondering what their own numbers are trying to tell them, and that curiosity fills seats. 2. Bold/contrarian Confidence Isn't a Mindset Problem. It's a Math Problem. Why book it: it picks a fight with the "just believe in yourself" advice that dominates most business stages, so it stands out hard on a lineup full of mindset talks. 3. Transformation-focused From Bracing for What's Next to Building It on Purpose Why book it: it promises a visible before/after arc the audience can feel happening during the talk itself — exactly what a planning committee wants from a headline or closing session. 4. Problem-focused Why Smart Business Owners Make Their Biggest Decision With Their Worst Information Why book it: it names a problem every growth-stage or exit-stage owner in the room will recognize instantly, which makes the topic an easy yes for anyone scanning for audience relevance. 5. Signature-concept The Messy Middle: How to Make Your Next Big Move With the Numbers, Not Just Your Nerve Why book it: it hands the organizer a memorable, ownable phrase to market the session with, and positions you as the person with a named framework — not just another finance talk. I love the 'messy middle' concept, since I work with entrepreneurs in transition (either a growth strategy or an exit strategy), and I also talk about adding the actual data to your 'gut instinct' decisions, so I really like #5... I also like #3 for the 'before / after' transformation, and #2 for the 'data vs. / alongside gut' aspect. Decisions decisions, LOL!

Day 5 Homework - Talk Titles
ChatGPT prompt response Person I help + transformation: I help high-achieving women with ADHD in perimenopause go from feeling like they’re losing their edge and questioning their competence to regaining clarity, confidence, and a sense of who they are again through my signature ASH Method: Assess Deeply, Stabilize, and Harmonize. The specific problem, tension, or conversation this talk should own: These women already know their hormones are changing. What they often do not understand is why the strategies and systems that worked for years suddenly stop working well enough in perimenopause, and what they need to do differently now. After hearing the talk, I want the audience to: Stop assuming they need to work harder or collect more ADHD hacks. I want them to understand why their old playbook may no longer fit, what needs to change in their strategy, and how to begin getting back to feeling sharp, capable, and like themselves again. 1. Curiosity-driven You Know It’s Your Hormones. So Why Aren’t Your Old ADHD Strategies Working? Why a stage owner might book it: It starts with something the audience already knows, then opens the real curiosity gap: why knowing hormones are involved still does not explain why their usual tools suddenly feel less effective. 2. Bold + contrarian More ADHD Strategies Won’t Fix a Perimenopause Problem Why a stage owner might book it: It challenges the assumption that the answer is another planner, productivity hack, app, or coping tool and introduces a more strategic way to think about what needs to happen first. 3. Transformation-focused How to Get Your Edge Back When Perimenopause Changes Your ADHD Brain Why a stage owner might book it: It focuses on the transformation the audience actually wants: feeling sharp, capable, confident, and like themselves again. 4. Problem-focused Why the ADHD Playbook That Worked for Years Stops Working in Perimenopause Why a stage owner might book it: It names a highly specific frustration for women who already have coping skills and cannot understand why the strategies they relied on for years suddenly are not enough.

Homework - Day 4!
The core diagnostic work (This is already available as a stand-alone. I call it an 'Alignment Session' (my business is called the Aligned CFO.) A "Full Circle" financial deep-dive — pulling apart their actual numbers, not just reviewing a P&L. A custom Profit First account structure built around their real percentages, not the generic template. A 12-month cash flow forecast with two branches: what growth actually costs, and what an exit actually requires. Pricing and margin analysis by service or product line. A KPI dashboard built specifically for their business, not a stock template with their logo slapped on. For the succession-track client: a plain-language "what is this business worth today" snapshot, and a buyer- or successor-readiness checklist. Access and coaching Weekly or biweekly 1:1 strategy calls where they bring real decisions and you model the numbers live. Voxer or text access between sessions for the "can I afford to hire this person" moments that can't wait for the next scheduled call. A monthly numbers-review working session. A quarterly deep-dive — basically a board meeting, except the board is you and them. A VIP intensive A single anchor day (virtual or in-person) where you map their next 12 months in one sitting — they walk out with an actual plan instead of a folder of homework. This could be the kickoff for the whole engagement: build the full financial picture first, then spend the rest of the engagement executing against it. Tools they keep The dashboard template, the Profit First account structure, a pricing calculator built for their industry, the cash flow forecast model — all theirs to keep and update themselves after the engagement ends. A simple "decision filter" worksheet for evaluating big spends or hires against actual cash position, so they're not calling you for every $3,000 decision two years from now. Accountability structure 90-day milestones with real check-ins, not just a calendar reminder. A recurring "money date" ritual you help them build into their business rhythm. Between-session action items that actually get tracked instead of politely forgotten.

Day 5 Homework -
Hi Ladies, recap: Fertility Coach, guiding women trying to conceive through the Fertility Confidence Program. Target audience is 35+ trying over 6 months, but of course my message is good for all women TTC (and in some cases below, some even more broad). 1. Curiosity-driven Your Body Is Not a Calendar: What Trying to Conceive Can Teach You About Self-Trust A stage owner may book this because it offers a fresh, memorable point of view on TTC that connects a practical fertility topic to the universal experience of learning to trust yourself in uncertainty. 2. Bold / contrarian Stop Outsourcing Your Fertility Confidence A stage owner may book this because it is a strong, conversation-starting title that challenges the pressure to rely entirely on apps, predictions, and outside advice while inviting women into a more empowered relationship with their own experience. 3. Transformation-focused From Fertility Overwhelm to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Your Role in TTC A stage owner may book this because it names the emotional reality of TTC and offers a compassionate, empowering shift that is relevant to women navigating pressure, uncertainty, and self-doubt. 4. Problem-focused The Pressure to Get TTC “Right”: Why More Information Is Not Always More Empowering A stage owner may book this because it addresses a common modern tension: women have access to more tracking tools, advice, and online information than ever, but can still feel more anxious, confused, and disconnected from themselves. 5. Signature-concept focused The BEGIN Framework: Building Cycle Confidence When the Outcome Is Uncertain A stage owner may book this because it introduces your distinctive methodology while making a thoughtful promise that respects the emotional complexity of TTC: more clarity, confidence, and agency without false guarantees. For this podcast, I would submit: Your Body Is Not a Calendar: What Trying to Conceive Can Teach You About Self-Trust It is the best bridge between your specific expertise and the podcast’s empowerment-focused audience. It does not require every listener to be actively trying to conceive to understand the deeper message, but it will make the right women feel immediately seen. It also creates room for both your practical teaching, such as why generic predictions do not always reflect individual cycles, and your broader message about agency, worth, and staying connected to yourself during uncertainty.
