You've got insights that don't fit any framework. Every expert tells you to "niche down" or "solve proven problems".

But your most innovative thinking doesn't work that way—it's pre-verbal, contradictory, impossible to box in.

So you hide it. And keep dumbing it down using frameworks you've privately outgrown.

I know because that was me.

That stops now.

Those insights that sound "weird" but resonate deeply? I call them Rare Dots.

They're the pre-verbal glimpses you've been suppressing because they don't fit existing boxes.

That's where it gets interesting...

Those glimpses reveal emerging possibilities others are sensing too, but can't yet name.

When you translate your Rare Dots into offers, you attract people who recognise it instantly—because they're living the EXACT SAME TENSION.

It took me years to reverse engineer this.

Now I've built a process to help you do exactly that in 4 weeks. Turn one Rare Dot into paying customers.
