Part 5: See Possibilities

Some people hear “possibility” and think rose-colored glasses. That’s not it.

Seeing possibility means eyes open + spotting the next step - even with obstacles and headwinds.

Three simple moves

1. Quick pre-mortem (7 minutes)

   Imagine it’s six weeks from now and the project flopped.

   Write 5 reasons you can influence. Circle the top 2 and design one counter-move for each.

   Example: “Low sign-ups” → sharpen title + line up one partner post.

1. If/Then anchors (no drama)

   If X happens, then I do Y.

   1. If sign-ups <50 by Tue 4 p.m., then cut scope B and double promo in channel Z.

   2. If the 3 p.m. energy dip hits, then 10-minute walk and shift deep work to mornings.

1. 10-minute reality check

   Ask a trusted person: “What’s the most obvious thing I’m not seeing?”

   Capture two points and take one action today.

One-minute practice (now)

Write one If/Then: If ______ happens, then I will ________ next.

That isn’t fear—it’s readiness.

Bottom line: Possibility doesn’t mean the road is always smooth. It means you see the bumps, find the moves, and grow through them. 

Grab the bull by the horns.
