If you haven't figured this out yet, feel lost and confused, and are not sure of your next steps, then this book was written for you. Many suffer from career confusion. Some feel it is just too hard to figure out and don't know how to move forward.

However, there are those young people that have taken proven steps and have begun their meaningful career journey. They are using their strengths to make a difference, and they have financial security. This book shares their stories and guides you through proven steps, saving you valuable time and money.

The book is divided into three phases, Discover, Build and Launch. Our journey begins with an introduction to the ikigai framework.
