- What's the challenge that my voice or passion can help you solve?
- Who's the cause and requires an answer?
- What are the individuals that you are obligated to serve?
- Where can you find them?
- Will they be able to
- How much money are they capable of spending?
- What's the main reason someone would choose you over than the other options that are out there?
