A Pick Your Path Guide to INTENTIONAL Work
Wondering what to do with your life? Trying to figure out how and when to build passion into your work? You've found the right place. My book is about just that. The book isn’t telling you to follow your passion. And it’s not telling you to find what you’re good at. Those answers are too simplistic. The answer is both … and more. The Pick Your Path Tool below will take 4 minutes and get you started with real action steps.
Ikigai
The book is a toolkit for intentionally choosing the relationship between your passion and your career. It begins with the Japanese framework called Ikigai which holds that your reason for being sits at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for. It is powerful … but not enough.

"Don’t Settle" walks readers through a set of exercises which enables each reader to plot themselves on a 4x3 matrix. Each of the 12 cells in the matrix calls for 1 or 2 of the Meta Paths.
Meta Paths are: Independent, Money, Passion, Experiment, and Balanced.
The real power is in the choosing. If YOU choose your path, you are far more likely to be joyful, productive, and content.
