AI Ikigai · A free guided exercise

What do you want
your work to become?

You’ve collected skills, interests, and more than a few ideas. Give yourself some space to see how they fit together.

Explore what you love, what you do well, and the problems you care about solving. Your AI guide will help you turn those threads into business directions you can test.

Four circles. Your own connections.

A clearer picture of where you could go.

Starting something new, refining an offer, or rethinking the work you’ve done for years? Start with the experience you already have.

01

What you love

The work and ideas you keep coming back to.

02

What you do well

The abilities you’ve built and the proof behind them.

03

What people need

The people and problems you care about helping.

04

What people pay for

The value people already buy, and what needs testing.

You’ll gather what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for, sort it by what lights you up, and find the threads with your AI guide. You’ll leave with a personal map, three directions from closest to what you do now to boldest, and a small first experiment. Save your results, then book a call if you’d like help with the next step.

Inspired by the popular four-circle Ikigai exercise. Ikigai also includes meaning beyond paid work; this tool focuses on business possibilities. Read about Ikigai.
