Problem

Many business owners are fixated on what’s broken.

They pour time and energy into fixing weaknesses or launching something new, believing that progress lies on the other side of solving a problem.

But in that focus, they often miss what’s right in front of them: existing strengths that are underleveraged, taken for granted, or quietly driving results in the background.

ONE Principle Insight

You don’t always need to fix - sometimes you need to notice.

When you stop long enough to see what’s already working - the product customers love, the process that runs smoothly, the team member who overdelivers - you uncover hidden leverage.

Strengths become invisible when they feel easy or familiar. But those strengths are often the source of your competitive edge. Progress doesn’t always require something new. It often requires recognising the value of what you already have.

Quick Fix

Spot the strength in your successes: Review your recent wins. What patterns do you see? Which product, service, or action consistently delivers results with ease?

Ask your customers what they love: Look through testimonials or send a simple feedback question. Their praise often points to strengths you’re overlooking.

Get your team’s perspective: Ask your staff what they think works best in the business. Their answers might highlight strengths you’ve normalised or ignored.
