Self-discovery

Questions to find
yourself.

Don’t answer for LinkedIn. Answer for the you who still has a quiet preference. Journal, voice-note, or bring them to your first call.

  1. Q1 If money weren’t the first constraint for two years, what would you actually spend your days on?
  2. Q2 Whose path do you envy — and what specifically about it (freedom, craft, people, pace)?
  3. Q3 What do people already ask you for help with, even when you’re “off duty”?
  4. Q4 Where does the default life feel tightest right now — schedule, identity, money, or belonging?
  5. Q5 What are you unwilling to trade away, even if the niche pays less at first?

Niche & money

Earn from what
only you can do.

A unique life still needs rent. The point isn’t to become a content machine — it’s to turn a real edge into an honest offer.
