#4 — What are the worst things that could happen? Could I get back here?

#5 — If I could only work 2 hours per week on my business, what would I do?

#7 — What’s the least crowded channel?

#8 — What if I couldn’t pitch my product directly?

#9 — What if I created my own real-world MBA?

#10 — Do I need to make it back the way I lost it?

#11 — What if I could only subtract to solve problems?

#12 — What might I put in place to allow me to go off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks, with no phone or email?

#13 — Am I hunting antelope or field mice?

#14 — Could it be that everything is fine and complete as is?

#15 — What would this look like if it were easy?
