We’ll be using it to explore how your ideas and interests might become the basis of a business.

Who you are and what you have

Your interests

Your Passions

Personal skills and competencies

Resources (networks, experience, reputation)

What you do

Roles played

‘Professional’ skills and competencies

Learned and practiced abilities

(Usually based on previous jobs and roles)

How you help

How do you add value to other’s lives and work?

Specific skills and competencies

Rare combinations of skills, knowledge and resources

Adding value by making others’ lives:

Easier

More satisfying

More rewarding

More efficient

More effective
