Free prompt
What would you offer if you went out on your own?
A guided Ikigai exercise you run in your favorite AI. It walks you through what you love, what you're good at, what people need, and what they'll pay for - then shows you where those overlap.
How it works
Step 1
Copy the prompt into your favorite AI
Setup takes about two minutes.
Step 2
Answer one question at a time
It pushes back when an answer is vague, so you end up with specifics, not "strategy" and "leadership."
Step 3
Leave with your overlaps
Your four lists, where they overlap, and a one-sentence statement in your own words.
What you'll need
Make a date with yourself: 30-45 minutes of quiet time to reflect, with your phone in another room. Messy answers are fine. Your resume or LinkedIn profile helps.
Who it's for
Experienced folks in product, engineering, operations, or technical leadership who are wondering what's next - a new role, or something on their own.
