Why you can't see your own value: the curse of knowledge

Stanford, 1990. People tapped out well-known songs, then predicted how many listeners would name them.

Who this is for

Built for professionals building something on the side, not full-time founders with runway to spare.

For the underestimating

Most people can't see their own skills as valuable. This matrix does the reframing for you, with worked examples.

For the career-deep

The more years you've put into your career, the more raw material this matrix has to work with.

For the idea-less

No idea yet? Start here instead of a blank page. Your first offer is usually already inside your job title.

How to turn your skills into a business, starting from what you already know

Most people trying to turn their skills into a business start with a blank page and a search for a completely new idea. This worksheet starts from the opposite place: an audit of the three corporate assets you've already built over 15+ years — your skills, your domain knowledge, and your professional network — scored against 4 tests that separate what's genuinely valuable from what just feels familiar.

The curse of knowledge: why your “obvious” skill isn't obvious to anyone else

In a classic Stanford study, people tapping out well-known songs predicted that 50% of listeners would name the tune. Listeners actually guessed correctly only 2.5% of the time. Once you know something, you can't easily imagine not knowing it — which is exactly why the things you find obvious after 15 years in your field are precisely what a smaller company can't work out alone, and would pay to skip.

From audit to a real first offer

The worksheet runs in four steps: audit your skills, domain, and network; score each against the 4 tests; map the strongest ones to one of three service models that can sell before you build anything; then pick a single offer to test next week. One client used it to turn a notes-app list of software ideas she'd sat on for two years into a £1,500 onboarding audit built on 15 years of product management — paid by week 8.
