A different starting point deserves a different process.

Your experience, relationships and judgement can open doors that generic business lists miss. Whether you are considering a change or are post-career and not ready to stop, start with what matters to you now.

01 / Reflect

Start with the person

Describe your experience, interests, lifestyle and constraints in your own words. One question at a time, with room to go back and edit.

02 / Explore

Look beyond the obvious

Connect what you know with unfamiliar fields. Generic consulting, coaching, blogging and e-commerce suggestions are deliberately excluded.

03 / Consider

Find a small first test

Receive five potentially strongest matches, ten credible alternatives and five more experimental possibilities, each with a caution and a practical first test.

The questions

Eight questions. One coherent picture.

Write a concise answer to each question, up to 800 characters. Broad descriptions are enough. You can say “Not sure” or “Prefer not to say”.

Your report is generated using ChatGPT. Copy it or download it as text before leaving; answers and reports are not saved for a later visit.
