Ikigai · IN SHORT
Explore ability, enjoyment, need and payment through four successive question rounds. The skill looks for useful overlap and turns it into a direction, two alternatives and a thirty-day experiment.
Your brief
I design furniture and enjoy helping beginners. I have one free afternoon a week to try something.
Possible draft
A small workshop is one possible direction. Test the topic, interest and preparation needed within that afternoon, retaining existing commissions while investigating willingness to pay.
