The Avatar Problem

Here's what I've learned from a thousand conversations with entrepreneurs: most of them don't know who they're talking to.

They say things like “my product is for everyone” or “anyone who wants to improve their life.”

That's not an avatar. That's a cope.

When you don't know exactly who you're serving, everything gets harder.

• ■Your copy sounds generic because it's written for nobody in particular.
• ■Your ads target too broad. You spend money reaching people who will never buy.
• ■Your sales calls feel like shots in the dark. You don't know their pain, so you pitch features instead.

The fix isn't complicated. It just requires honesty.

Who is the ONE person you can help the most?

Not the biggest market. The best fit.

When you get specific about that one person, your copy writes itself. Your targeting sharpens. Your sales calls stop feeling like guesswork because you actually understand the problem you're solving.
