The Four Ms Diagnostic, question one of twelve

Which M is restricting your impact, influence and income?

Twelve questions. Three minutes. Free. Your restricting M, your score across all four, and what to do about it this week.

Can you say what you do in one sentence, without the word “help”? Do new people find you without you chasing them? Can you say your price out loud without flinching? Can somebody pay you without a conversation first? One of those is carrying the weight. Stop scattering your energy hoping this is the season it lands.

PROPEL founding places close 20 September. Kick off Tuesday 22 September.

The September view

September is not a fresh start. It is a decision.

A new reel here. A new offer there. A price you have still not said out loud. A website you keep meaning to finish. That is not building a business. That is scattering. And scattering feels like effort, which is why it is so easy to mistake for progress.

Every practitioner I have ever worked with has one M carrying the weight. Not four. One. Find it, strengthen it, and the other three start moving on their own. That is the whole Four Ms idea, and it is why chasing income directly never works.

Strengthen one. Then another. It compounds outward.

Answer honestly. Nobody scores 15 on all four.

The Four Ms™ Diagnostic · 1 of 12

Your result · Message, be understood

You are brilliant and nobody can repeat what you do.

Every conversation about your work starts from zero. Referrals dry up, not because people do not rate you, but because they cannot describe you. You are paying for that in every “let me explain” you have ever given.

What to do about it

1.Write the one sentence. What you do, for whom, without the word “help”. Say it out loud to three people this week and notice which words they repeat back. Those are your message.

2.Decide who you are not for. A message with no edge has no pull. Name the client you would turn away and your right client hears you for the first time.

3.Tap on the fear underneath being clear. Being understood means being findable, and being findable means being judged. That is the IMP® holding the vague version in place.

The fork

Two ways from here. Work through this on your own, one piece at a time, and hope September is the season it lands. Or bring it into PROPEL, the twelve month business room where I move Level 2 Practitioners through all four Ms, live, every Tuesday, with my in-house team between sessions. Founding places are limited and the founding rate is held for as long as you stay.

Not Level 2 yet? PROPEL opens to Level 2 Practitioners, and anyone who enrols in Level 2 before the founding places close keeps the founding rate. The door is the training.

Your result · Media, be seen

You are the best kept secret in your postcode.

Good work, no witnesses. The practitioners getting booked this autumn are not better than you. They are visible on the day somebody finally decides to get help. If you are not in the feed that day, you do not exist.

What to do about it

1.Choose one channel and one format for six weeks. Not four. One. Consistency in one place beats brilliance scattered across five.

2.Borrow a stage before October. A podcast, a workshop, somebody else’s community. At your stage a borrowed audience beats a built one every time.

3.Tap on the exposure. Being seen every week feels like being watched. That is the pattern that has you post once and disappear for a fortnight.

Your result · Magnetism, be chosen

You are waiting to be picked when you should be chosen.

You undercharge, over deliver and call it kindness. Clients feel the wobble when you name a price and they mirror it straight back as “let me think about it”. Being chosen is an energetic position long before it is a marketing one.

What to do about it

1.Say your price out loud ten times today, until your voice stops changing on the number. Then say it to a real person.

2.Decide the one outcome you are the obvious choice for. Then act like the person who delivers it, before anyone has paid you to.

3.Tap on receiving. Most practitioners can give all day and cannot receive for five minutes. This is the M Rapid Tapping® was built for.

Your result · Model, be paid

You are fully booked and still not paid what you are worth.

Every client is a custom quote and a new invoice. Enquiries arrive in DMs and get lost there. You have a practice, not a business, and the difference is the model underneath it.

What to do about it

1.One main offer. Name it, price it, and put it on a page somebody can pay on without a conversation with you first.

2.Map the journey in five steps: how they find you, how they enquire, how they pay, how they are delivered, how they come back. Fix the weakest step first, not the most interesting one.

3.Tap on the belief that systems make it cold. They make it repeatable. Repeatable is what pays you while you are asleep.

Why a diagnostic

I built the Four Ms because I watched brilliant practitioners scatter.

Every September I watch talented people start five things and finish none. New reel. New offer. New price they never quite say out loud. The Four Ms is the architecture I use with private clients who pay multiple five figures for my eye on their expansion blocks and contraction traps. It works for one reason. It makes you fix one thing. The one carrying the weight.

Take the three minutes. Then decide whether you do this piecemeal, or in the room with me.
