“Just wait for the right opportunity—it’ll come.”

I’m sure you’ve all heard it. People say, “Be patient; your next career move will reveal itself.” But here’s the problem with that advice: waiting around for clarity is a recipe for stagnation. We’re not the kind of people to wait around for things to happen to us - are we? You’re the kind of person who makes shit happen.

I know people who are ‘waiters’. They go to work every day and wonder how much longer they’ll be stuck in their role with no clue what the next step could look like. Feeling like the days are just floating by with nothing to work toward. And let me tell you, that lack of direction? It can drain your motivation faster than anything else.

That’s why waiting for your next career move doesn’t work. You end up feeling stuck because you’re relying on external events to give you direction rather than actively discovering what you want.

It’s Hump Day Hype Up and I’m here to do exactly that. Get you hyped for work.
If you’re feeling unsure on what you want to do next, or what your future career looks like, today we’re taking control of the process.

It starts by understanding what drives you, what you’re passionate about, and what skills make you feel alive. Yeah cool Jade, that sounds great - but how do I actually do that?

Ta-da. Enter: The Ikigai framework—a tool that helps you identify the sweet spot where your passions, skills, and what the world needs overlap.

Today’s Hump Day Hype Up is about action. I’ve created a worksheet for you that walks you through the Ikigai framework so you can get familiar with what you want to do with your life. Yes, you. We’re taking action here. Making things happen. No more waiting around for ideas to present themselves.

You can download the Ikigai framework worksheet here. Spend 10 minutes with it today. You’ll be surprised at how much clarity you’ll gain just by reflecting on a few simple questions.

This is a worksheet from my brand new program (which I haven’t even announced yet), but I’m so excited that I want to share this with you early. Stay tuned for more information on that one, or email me if you want to sneaky pre-launch information.

Because the best career decisions don’t come from waiting—they come from knowing yourself.

Let’s make it happen.
