My service to solve the problem of 'not knowing what I really want to do'

"I read 30 books on self-analysis, but in the end, the fog didn't clear."

I believe many of you who continue to read this note have felt that way. You've tried StrengthsFinder. You've taken aptitude tests. You've been asked, "What do you want to do?" in an interview with a recruitment agent and found yourself at a loss for words. Don't you have any experience or inkling of that?

I myself have faced countless people struggling with their careers through my work in corporate sales and human resources, and I am one of those who, for a long time, was lost because I couldn't put my own "what I really want to do" into words.

Today, I would like to honestly share the true nature of that "not knowing," how I have faced it, and my service that was born from that experience.

Why can't we find "what we really want to do"?

To conclude, many self-analysis tools and aptitude tests can capture a "cross-section of who you are now," but they cannot tell you "how you should move forward."

StrengthsFinder tells you your "strengths." Aptitude tests tell you "job types that might suit you." Both are useful information, but they are points (data), not lines (the axis of your decision-making).

No matter how many points you increase, if there is no line connecting them, you cannot answer the question, "What do I value, and what should I choose?" I believe this is the reason why many people get tired of diagnostics but never reach an answer.

What's even more troublesome is that the more people struggle with their careers, the more serious they are, and they spend time and energy collecting information. Reading books, attending seminars, taking tests. None of these are a waste, but "information gathering" and "self-understanding" are different, even if they seem similar. No matter how much information you increase, if there is no process to integrate it and reach your own conclusion, the fog will not clear.

What I have intentionally not touched upon in my articles so far

In my previous articles, I have talked several times about viewing yourself from the four perspectives of "Will, Can, Must, and Avoid." However, to be honest, I have deliberately not written in detail about how to use them specifically or how to combine the four to create a "personal axis."

The reason is simple: I believe that this part is meaningless unless you actually move your own hands and put it into words, rather than ending it with "thinking you understand." Unfortunately, just reading and being convinced will not change your actual decision-making.

In particular, how to handle "Can" is a point that many people misunderstand. The "Can" here is not "skills acquired later" such as qualifications or experience. It is what you can do naturally without being conscious of it, what you don't feel tired doing, in other words, your "unconscious strengths." Finding this yourself is actually quite a difficult task. This is because things that are too natural to you are too natural for you to notice yourself.

I created the "Ultimate 'Personal Axis' Discovery Method" that I am introducing today to face this structural difficulty.

What is the Ultimate "Personal Axis" Discovery Method?

This is a series of processes that leads the four perspectives of Will, Can, Must, and Avoid not just as a self-analysis framework, but to a state where "you can actually make decisions."

Specifically, it proceeds in the following steps:

- Take stock of past experiences and pick up clues to your "unconscious strengths (Can)" from the movement of your emotions
- Conversely, clarify the situations you want to avoid or are not good at (Avoid) to create criteria for narrowing down your options
- Dig down into the values you really want to cherish (Will) to the level of your true feelings, not just superficial ones
- Organize the compromises with what is required by society and the environment (Must) in a realistic way
- Finally, integrate these four and put them into words as your "personal axis"

Each perspective itself may not be new. However, while many self-analysis contents end with "Let's think from four perspectives," my method spends time on the design itself of "in what order and what kind of questions should be repeated to actually reach an integrated conclusion." This is my biggest commitment.

I feel that for those who have an HSP temperament or are the type to think things through carefully, this kind of structured process is often more suitable than the type who can decide on impulse. Because I was like that myself, I designed it as a process that takes steps carefully.

About the 3 forms of provision

This method is provided in three forms depending on the depth of involvement. Since the people who are suitable for each are different, I will introduce them honestly.

**① Self-work sheet (5,500 yen including tax)**

This is a work sheet that you work on in order from step 1 to 6 at your own pace. Feedback is not included, but because I spent a considerable amount of time on the design of the questions themselves, it is structured so that it is difficult to get lost even if you proceed alone. It is suitable for those who "want to try it themselves first" or "want to keep the financial burden low but want to work on it seriously."

② Work sheet + 3 feedback sessions (90,000 yen including tax)

I will send you feedback in writing three times regarding the content you worked on in the work sheet. It is for those who want help with an objective eye to identify gaps in perspective that they cannot notice on their own, or to put their unconscious strengths into words. It is chosen by those who are anxious about proceeding alone but cannot take the time to talk every time.

③ 8 coaching sessions (240,000 yen including tax)

This is a course where you carefully put your personal axis into words through dialogue. It is suitable for those who want to value true feelings that only come out while talking, which cannot be picked up by text alone, and re-questioning on the spot. It is a form that is often applied for by those who are at the timing of life decisions such as changing jobs or career changes.

There is no such thing as which one is the correct answer. I would like you to choose according to your current situation and how far you want me to walk with you.

It might not be suitable for people like this

I will write honestly. I don't think this method is suitable for those who "just want to take a test and get an answer immediately." As I wrote earlier, this is designed to take time for the integration process, so it is not a magic diagnostic with immediate effect.

Also, it might not fit well for those who have a stance of "I want someone else to decide the answer." This is because what I can provide is the questions and structure for you to reach a conclusion yourself, not to provide an answer instead.

Conversely, for those who "have tried various things so far but haven't met an answer that fits," or "don't mind if it takes time, but want to have their own axis in a way that they can truly accept," I definitely believe I can be of help.

Finally

When you are lost in your career, I think the most painful thing is not the "not getting an answer" itself, but blaming yourself, thinking "am I not thinking enough?"

But in reality, in many cases, it is not that the amount of thinking is insufficient, but that you have not encountered a "model" for thinking. The method I introduced today provides that model.

If you are interested, I think the lowest hurdle is to try the self-work sheet in ① first. Please feel free to contact me from the comment section or inquiries.

Finally, please let me hear from you as usual.

① Did you feel that this story of "points and lines" also applies to you?
② What self-analysis tools or diagnostics have you tried so far?
③ Which of the three forms of provision did you feel would suit you now?

I would be very happy if you could let me know in the comments.
