Your 3-step Questions to Your Unfair Advantage

Howdy ,

I hope you took the extra day yesterday to catch up on Tuesday’s email or go deeper into it.

I talked about operating from your unfair advantage. Today, let me start you on your merry way to finding yours.

Most professionals can't name their unfair advantage. They know they're "good at stuff," but they can't pinpoint what makes them exceptional.

Here's a simple 3-question diagnostic:

Question 1: What do people consistently ask you for help with?

Not what you want to be good at—what do colleagues, clients, or friends actually request?

Question 2: What creates outsized results with normal effort?

Where do you get 10x results while others struggle for 2x with the same input?

Question 3: What energizes you that drains most people?

Your unfair advantage rarely feels like "work" to you—but it's exhausting for others.

The pattern across all three answers? That's your unfair advantage.

Once you see it clearly, the next question becomes: Where am I using it? And more importantly: Where am I NOT using it but should be?

Most high performers are under-deploying their edge. Don't be one of them.

Keep winning at work and in life.
