✅ The three "coaching superpowers" you've already developed: pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and organizational fluency
✅ The 90-day validation framework broken into three phases: clarity/positioning (weeks 1-2), free test sessions (weeks 3-6), and soft launch with paying clients (weeks 7-12)
✅ Realistic income expectations for a sustainable 10-15 hour weekly practice ($2,400-$6,000/month starting range)
