Not sure what comes next? Start by collecting better information.

Before You Build the Plan is a free 12-page guided reflection workbook for anyone reconsidering where they're headed—whether that's a career pivot, creative project, life transition, self-employment, entrepreneurship, or simply realizing that your current direction isn't working anymore.

Instead of asking you to immediately answer “What should I do with my life?”, this workbook slows the process down and helps you look at the evidence first.

You'll work through 12 questions across four lenses:

- The Life — What are you actually trying to build your work and life around?

- The Friction — What keeps stopping, draining, or scaring you?

- The Assets — What knowledge, abilities, interests, and evidence do you already have?

- The Experiment — What is small enough to test without betting your whole life on it?

There are no “right” answers. You can write in fragments, bullet points, messy sentences, voice notes, or giant paragraphs. The goal is useful information—not a perfectly completed worksheet.

After the 12 questions, you'll look for patterns in what you want more of, what you want less of, what you already have, and what you may be assuming. Then you'll use what you found to design one useful next experiment—something small enough to help you gather real evidence before making a much bigger decision.

You don't have to choose the rest of your life. You just need enough information to choose what might be worth trying next.
