Built on the UnLOCKed Framework

Unlock the Target

Define exactly what you’re working toward — not the steps, the destination.

Notice the Barriers

Surface everything in the way — including the parts that involve you.

Locate the Origin

Trace each barrier back to its root so you know what actually needs to change.

Overhaul the System

The root cause map becomes your action list — eliminate the causes, clear the path.

The Diagnostic

Answer honestly. That’s the only requirement.

“I don’t know” is a valid answer — and often the most useful one.

Your diagnostic is in motion.

Your Root Cause Map is being generated and will arrive in your inbox within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.

This works like a real strategy session. The more specific and honest you are, the sharper the read you’ll get. Vague answers produce vague output. This isn’t a quiz, it’s a diagnosis that will give you real next steps.

Step 1 of 5

A little about you first.

This gives the diagnostic the context it needs to make your root cause map accurate and specific.

Your first name

Email address Your diagnostic will be delivered here.

How do you describe yourself?

Where is your revenue right now?

U — Unlock the Target

What are you actually working toward?

Not the tasks. Not the activities. The destination. What does it look like when you’ve gotten there?

Q1 In your own words, what are you working toward right now?

Q2 What does success look like 12 months from now — specifically? What would be different?

Q3 What would have to be true for you to feel like you’re finally on track?

N — Notice the Barriers

What’s in the way?

This is where honesty matters most. The barriers that are hardest to name are usually the most important ones.

Q4 What’s currently in the way of reaching the target you described?

Q5 When you make real progress, what tends to pull you back?

Q6 How much of what’s in the way involves you — your decisions, your habits, what you’re avoiding?

Mostly external — the circumstances, the market, other people Mixed — both me and outside factors Mostly me, if I’m being honest I don’t know — that’s part of why I’m here

L — Locate the Origin

Where did this come from?

Symptoms repeat until you address the source. These questions trace each barrier back to its root.

Q7 How long has this been the pattern?

Q8 What have you already tried to change it? What happened when you tried?

Q9 Is there something you already know needs to change that you haven’t changed yet?

O — Overhaul the System

The one thing.

This is the final question. Your answer here — combined with everything above — is what the diagnostic uses to generate your root cause map.

Q10 If you could eliminate one thing from your situation tomorrow — a habit, a cost, a relationship, a process, a belief — what would it be?

Anything else you want the diagnostic to know? Optional — but sometimes the most important thing doesn’t fit neatly into a question.
