By Jane Chew — AI Strategy Coach & Business Model Innovation Specialist
I use AI to help SMEs and experts rethink their business models. Recently, I turned that same lens on myself — not to showcase the “how” (that’s reserved for my training), but to model what a rigorous, AI-informed self-diagnosis can uncover about niche, blind spots, focus, and future self. Below are candid excerpts from my own reports and what I’m doing about them.
Executive Summary (What I Learned About Me)
- Core Strength: I turn complex AI + strategy into simple, actionable frameworks (CORF, Business Compass™, Profit Layer) for non-technical SME owners and mid-career experts.
- Perceived Value: Clients come to me for clarity, future-proofing, and a rare blend of credibility + humanity.
- Blind Spots: Too many offers dilute the flagship identity. I sometimes oscillate between “expert” and “platform builder,” which blurs my external brand.
- Identity Shift: Lead as a category creator (AI-Powered Business Compass™ / 10xAI Experts) instead of selling disjointed services.
- Future Self: The “AI Strategy Queen of SMEs in SEA,” known for certifying AI-powered consultants and building an expert ecosystem.
Thesis: Clients don’t buy tools. They buy a future identity — founder to strategic leader; coach to niche authority.
In the rest of this article, I’ll share the specific insights the reports surfaced (and what I’m changing), while keeping the proprietary method for my AI-Powered Success Expert™ Masterclass.

My Diagnostic Insights (Excerpts)
1) Core Expertise & Repeatable Strengths
- Business Model Strategy: I help SMEs reframe, reposition, and re-engineer models with urgency and clarity.
- AI Integration: I translate complex AI into practical, non-technical plays that produce profit and momentum.
- Coaching & Transformation: Strategy + mindset shifts; clients leave believing they can play bigger and lead differently.
2) Value Clients Already Perceive
- Clarity: Cutting through noise with a structured roadmap.
- Future-Proofing: A bridge to the future that feels doable and profitable.
- Credibility + Humanity: 30 years across corporate and entrepreneurship; safe, inspiring hands.
3) Blind Spots I Had to Own
- Offer Proliferation: Too many frameworks dilute the hero product in the market’s mind.
- Expert vs. Ecosystem: I alternated between “coach/consultant” and “platform builder.” I must decide which leads outwardly.
- Depth vs. Breadth: Broad positioning (AI, strategy, midlife, health) confuses; the spear tip must be AI Strategy for SMEs.
4) Deeper Patterns
- I decode complexity into elegant, teachable frameworks.
- I anticipate disruption and prepare others to lead it.
- I build ecosystems and categories, not just products.
5) Unique Transformations I Enable
- SMEs: Reactive operators → AI-powered, future-ready strategists.
- Experts/Coaches: Scattered service providers → positioned niche authorities with scalable programs.
- Individuals: Feeling disrupted → becoming disruptors.
Positioning Shift I’m Making Now:
- Category, not services: Lead with AI Future Ready Business Compass™ and 10xAI Experts.
- Flagship over fragments: One hero product; everything else becomes satellites.
- Identity over tools: Sell the future self (strategic leader / niche authority), not the mechanics.
Future Self (The Standard I’m Owning)
- The AI Strategy Queen of SMEs in Southeast Asia.
- Builder of a thought-leader platform certifying the next wave of AI-powered consultants.
- Category creator associated with AI Future Ready Business Compass™ and 10xAI Experts (like DISC or Lean Startup with their fields).
