Hey Full Potential Zoners,
The hardest fight isn’t with them— it’s with you.
The real conflict isn’t between people— it’s between emotions.
Most conversations go sideways before the truth ever gets said.
Choose what you’ll offer (digital product, coaching, or lead magnet)
Have you ready to go live and start earning/gathering leads
Whether you’re a content creator, coach/consultant, side hustler, solopreneur, or just tired of your job—this is your starting or scaling point.
If that’s you, this call is the fastest way to start.
Use my sheet to feel ready, not reactive.
Because the next hard conversation might be tomorrow.
And the way you show up will shape everything after.
Today we are going to help leaders master this by using:
‘Say It Right - Difficult Conversations Made Simple'.
Let’s dive in!

Real Moments, Real Words, Real Results
1. A teammate keeps missing deadlines — and it’s slowing the team
Scenario: You’ve reminded them before, but nothing’s changed. Now it’s hurting your work too.
Set the scene:
Don’t talk in front of others. Choose a short 1-on-1 during a calm part of the day.
Say this to open:
“Can we take 10 minutes? I’ve noticed a few deadlines have slipped, and I’d like to talk through it.”
Stick to patterns, not people.
“In the last 3 weeks, these two tasks missed the mark. What’s been the roadblock?”
Avoid guessing. Ask what’s happening — don’t assume.
Wrap with one step:
“What’s one task we can lock in this week and make sure it gets done?”
2. A coworker’s tone in meetings feels dismissive — and it’s wearing you down
Scenario: They cut you off, roll their eyes, or ignore your input.
Don’t let it build. Bring it up privately within a day or two.
Open with a clear reason:
“I wanted to check in about something small but important. It’s been bothering me.”
Use “I” language, not blame:
“I’ve felt shut down in a few meetings lately, especially when I’m speaking and the topic changes quickly.”
Pause and wait. Let it land.
Ask for a shift:
“Can we find a better way to exchange ideas? I want us both to feel heard.”
3. Your manager assigns you too much — and you're close to burnout
Scenario: You keep getting more tasks without support or time to do them right.
Schedule a short check-in. Don’t bring this up in a rush or over email.
Start here:
“I need help prioritizing — I want to do a great job, and right now I’m stretched thin.”
Be specific.
“Right now I have 3 high-priority items that each take deep work. What’s most urgent?”
Ask for clarity, not less work:
“Can we agree on what’s essential this week and what can shift to next?”
Don’t apologize for protecting your focus. That’s leadership.

When it comes to selling your ideas, pressure usually kills the sale.
What works better is showing value first, asking good questions, and keeping it simple.
This infographic lays out a clear path — and here are 3 real-life ways you can use it today.
1. The Designer with 800 Followers
Goal: Sell a $19 Notion template without feeling salesy.
Teach-first post (45–60 sec): Share one tiny fix people can copy today. Free value builds goodwill that makes people more open to offers.
One clear next step only: “Want the full template? Reply ‘template’ and I’ll send the link.” Single CTAs get more clicks and sales than multi-CTA posts.
Add quick proof: Include a screenshot of someone’s result or a one-line quote; people trust peer proof far more than ads.
2. The Fitness Coach with a Tiny List
Goal: Book five paid intro sessions this week.
Start with questions, not a pitch: Email or DM three short questions about the person’s goal, blockers, and timeline. Consultative questions raise sales results.
Send a simple plan-in-a-paragraph: Reflect what you heard, then outline one starter step and the price for a 30-minute intro.
Use honest timing: “I’m holding five intro slots this week; if they fill, I’ll open more next Tuesday.” Time-bound offers work when real and limited.
3. The First-Time Creator
Goal: Ship a small product in 48 hours.
Go to creatyl.com → Sign up free → Pick a product type → Load a simple version (checklist, mini guide, or starter pack).
Make one quick freebie: A 1-page sample people can use right now (reciprocity makes people more open to buy).
Share one link, one action: “Grab the full pack here.” Keep only one CTA in the post and email.
State a real deadline if you have one: “Founder price ends Sunday night.” Only use true limits.

Here's how you can make it real today:
Step 1: Pick your moment
Think back to a recent moment where things felt tense or unclear.
Now choose one conversation from today’s lessons that fits.
That’s the one you’ll work on today.
Step 2: Set your action cue
Pick one part of your day — before a meeting, during a break, or after a check-in — where you’ll take one step toward that conversation.
Write down or set a reminder:
“This is the moment I take one step forward.”
Step 3: Take one step forward
You don’t have to fix the whole thing today.
You just need one move:
Write your first sentence and read it out loud
Schedule the talk for later this week
Ask a calm, clear question instead of holding it in
Start with one line that names what happened
Example: “I’ve been thinking about our last meeting — can we talk for a few minutes?”
Example: “Something’s been on my mind, and I want to clear it up.”
Step 4: Notice what shifts
After your move, take a short pause.
Ask yourself:
Did things feel lighter, calmer, or clearer?
Did you feel more in control — or more connected?
Did anything unexpected go better than you thought?
You’re not judging the outcome. You’re noticing the change.
Step 5: End with one line
Before bed, write down one short reflection:
“Today, what helped most was: _____.”
or“Next time I’m stuck, I’ll start with: _____.”
AI Prompt: “Act as a communication coach. Create a clear step-by-step plan for having a difficult conversation today based on the following details:
Person’s Name: [Insert name]
Context for Conversation: [Insert context, e.g., “Teammate missing deadlines”]
Main Issue to Address: [Insert main issue, e.g., “Project delays caused by late submissions”]
Desired Outcome: [Insert goal, e.g., “Agree on one clear next step and timeline”]
Provide:
A simple outline of the conversation, including how to open it, key points to cover, and how to close it.
Suggested first sentences or conversation starters that sound calm and respectful.
Example questions to ask that invite understanding instead of defensiveness.
One tip for staying steady and clear during the talk (breathing, pausing, or writing a note before speaking).”

Keeping the peace and keeping quiet are not the same thing.
Most tension at work isn’t caused by what was said — it’s caused by what wasn’t.
You don’t need perfect timing. You need clear intent.
Even one honest sentence can change how people show up.
It’s not about being right — it’s about being real, and being heard.
Until next time and with lots of love,
Justin
