The Ikigai framework, a Japanese concept for finding life purpose, consists of four interconnected questions: (1) What do I love? (identifying passions and interests), (2) What am I good at? (recognizing natural strengths and skills), (3) What will people pay for? (identifying marketable value), and (4) What does the world need? (understanding problems to solve). When these four elements intersect, they create a meaningful business that generates peaceful profits while providing fulfillment and positive impact. The key insight is that most people look outward for answers rather than within themselves, but they already possess everything needed to build a successful business aligned with their purpose.

Ask ChatGPT These 4 Questions, It Will Change Your Bank AccountAdded:
If you ask chat GPT these four questions, not only will it change your bank account, [music] but you'll be making peaceful profits within your purpose and it's pretty cool. I mean, I know [music] what it feels like to wake up each and every single day to go to a job that you don't want to do, to be around people that you don't want to be around and have to do that for at least 40 hours a week each [music] and every single week just to make a little bit of money. But, these four questions here are the foundation that led to me firing my job April 1st, 2016 [music] to start an online business, to building a seven-figure online business, to >> [music] >> building a community that has content preneurs getting numbers just like all them that you see on the screen right now within their purpose. So, ask chat GPT [music] these four questions and take this exercise seriously because it works if you work it.
Most people look outside of themselves instead of within for the answers and I'm not trying to sound like some inspirational guru or anything like that, but you have everything within you right now to build a successful [music] business. You just don't realize it yet and it's only going to take me about five minutes to break [music] this down.
So, if you don't have five minutes to spare, I get it. Feel free to click off of this video and watch some video [music] about how to make money or the new trendy online business or something like that, but you'll miss out on the business that you are intended to build and walk within your purpose and actually [music] have a positive impact on people. So, look, when I say I hated my job, I literally used to wake up some mornings [music] and throw up. I would think myself sick just with the thought of going into a job [music] that I hated.
I became mentally unemployable April 1st, 2016. [music] That's the day that I fired my job before I ever made a dollar for myself as an entrepreneur. Well, I found [music] that I had put myself pretty much in the same situation as an entrepreneur because the business that I built, I hated it and I had absolutely nobody to blame but myself for that because I was my own boss. So, I was like, man, I got to figure this thing out, man, because I got started in entrepreneurship [music] for lifestyle. I wanted to go to bed whenever I wanted to go to bed and wake up whenever I wanted to wake up without an alarm clock and do what I want to do, when I want to do it, how I want to do it on my own time. And I wasn't able to find it. So, I was like, whoa, how can I find out what I need to do? And [music] I discovered this concept that the Japanese use.
And it's called the Ikigai.
Now, the Ikigai is this exercise that contains [music] four questions that the Japanese use in order to find their purpose. Well, this is what I did to not only help me find my purpose, but to attach [music] a business that I can work with in my purpose and make peaceful profits and actually look forward to what I'm doing each and every single day.
That's the key right there.
So many people are just thinking about how to make money, but I'm telling you and I'm telling you this from experience [music] and it sucks.
On your entrepreneurial journey, you're going to have some lows. [music] If you don't find or have any passion or love behind what you're doing, then you're going to have a hard time enjoying the process.
When you need to be able to enjoy the journey along the way, right? And that's something that my former self really lost. I used to say stupid stuff like, "Oh, forget our passion. We can get to our passion later. We got to get to this money now."
Well, with the Ikigai concept, everything starts off with something that [music] you actually do love, which is the first question, right?
Now, what do I love?
Now, you're going to ask yourself this first before we even get to the [music] AI. Why most people are struggling with using AI, whether it's ChatGPT or Claude or whatever it is that they're using, [music] is because they're going to artificial intelligence and they're asking it for answers for themselves instead of using their AI, their their [music] actual intelligence, and dumping their actual intelligence into the artificial intelligence [music] to help you actually think better, right? So, lucky for you, you have AI available. When I first [music] went through this exercise, I didn't have it.
I had to really go deep within myself, right? But, think about what do [music] you love? Think about what is it that lights you up? What are you passionate about?
What could you talk about for hours?
Now, [music] once you spend that actual time with yourself and come up with some answers, then we're going to go [music] to ChatGPT.
And then you can ask ChatGPT to help you explore >> [music] >> what you love and what excites you. So, for an example, you can say what topics, activities, or themes >> [music] >> make me the most happy or fulfilled, right? Now, while you're going through this exercise with the AI also, go back and forth with it as if you were actually talking to a person, just like you [music] were talking to me. All right? While so many people can't get anything back from any of these AI language [music] models, it's because they're watching some creator say some stupid [music] stuff like, "You give it this prompt.
Act as if you are a Fortune 500 marketing executive that has had [music] 50 years experience at a billion-dollar company, and then give me information from that standpoint. [music] No.
Just talk to it as if you were literally talking to a person. Talk to it as if you were literally talking to me. All right? Now, from that what you love, the second question is [music] what am I good at, right?
Because in order to make some money, you're going to have to be good at something.
Well, think about those things that you're actually [music] good at.
Think about what are your natural strengths. Think about what comes easy to you that comes harder for others.
Think about what is that thing that people always come to ask for you for advice about, for help about, for toolings, for guidance, [music] all right?
A lot of times people they're not thinking that the things that they're currently [music] good at could help them make money.
But, most people have a job that pays them to be good at something.
That stuff could be used to make you some money yourself instead [music] of making somebody else some money, right?
I started thinking about this. My 9-5 jobs, I had worked 100% in sales. I used to get all these trophies all the time. Uh rental car company, they used to give me these trophies each and every single month in this little celebration was never giving me more money. Just giving me these little fake glass trophies and whatnot.
But, I I could sell.
Same thing at the bank.
With those sales too, my next job I worked at a a bank. I was just a banker.
But, at the car rental company and at the bank, outside of sales, I'm forward facing [music] because that's customer service also.
I'm talking to people all day each and every single day. That helped me in my business.
Not only when I was going through this exercise did I ask myself this thing and really spend time in deep thought with myself about this. I asked people around me. I asked my circle. Asked my parents, "What am I good at? What do you think I'm good at?"
Asked my friends, "What do you think I'm good at?"
>> [music] >> I asked associates, "What do you think that I'm good at?"
>> [snorts] >> I was finding similar answers from people once I started to survey people. They were telling me that I'm easy to talk to.
They were telling me that [music] they thought that I was funny. I could get them to laugh or giggle. If they were in a bad mood, I can help somebody happy.
Uh help somebody get out of that bad mood, right?
With that also, I was hearing from multiple people that they thought that I had a high emotional IQ.
They said that I had uh emotional intelligence. That's something that I never even realized about myself. [music] They thought that I was very creative.
Well, guess what? That stuff helped me all the way to what I'm doing right now.
So, something that you'll do once you [music] ask yourself these things or even survey the people around you, the people that you talk to all [music] the time, your friends, your family members, associates, right?
Then, ask ChatGPT to help you identify your skills, your strengths, [music] and your advantages. So, an example prompt that you could use right here for this is, "What are my natural strengths, skills, [music] and talents based on my experiences and story?"
Give ChatGPT [music] your experiences.
Give the AI your stories. So, you can have a brainstorming [music] session back and forth with it, right? Now, here's the thing about this. When you figure out what it is that you love and you figure out [music] what you're good at, now you have your passion, right? You enjoy it, but [music] is it sustainable?
How's it How would you know if it's sustainable? Well, you need to [music] make some money, right? If you just have passion, but you don't have anything to where as you can make [music] money from it, then you just have a hobby, right?
So, the next question that you can ask yourself [music] is this.
What will people pay for?
>> [snorts] >> So, what value can you provide [music] that people will gladly pay for? And how can you turn that value into [music] income?
All right? So, really think about what can you get paid for with >> [music] >> your current skill sets. I know one of my homegirls, she was sitting here, we were having this [music] conversation um a few years ago.
She was saying that she doesn't think that she could get [music] paid for because when she went she surveyed her friends, they told her similar things that I just shared with you [music] about her having very high emotional intelligence. They would come to her for help about everything, personal stuff, relationship [music] stuff. They would call her and ask her to not only pray over them, but to pray [music] with them, right?
And I was like, "Have you never heard of a life coach?
You've never seen [music] Tony Robbins?
Like so many people make money being a life Guess what she's doing right now?
She's currently a life coach. She didn't think that people would pay for [music] this stuff."
Told somebody else, they told me that they were basically just a Suzy homemaker. Why would anybody pay for that? I was like, "You ever heard of Martha Stewart?
Martha Stewart would have been like the the first basically creator billionaire.
She didn't get [music] get him the up, all right?
So, a prompt that you can ask ChatGPT [music] with this. So, ask ChatGPT to help you identify what people will pay you for. So, an example [music] prompt could be this.
What skills, solutions, or transformations can I offer that people will pay for from what you've already dumped from your brain into the AI, right? Now, with this, when you find what you're good at, with something that you could get paid for, this is where you can find a profession.
You're good in it and it pays well, right?
But, we don't just want to have a profession, right? We want to make money from something that we enjoy doing that actually has [music] a positive impact on people.
So, this is where we ask people, ask our selves first, what does the world need?
So, what problems can you solve? And what does the world need [music] more of? What do people actually need?
So, question that you can ask ChatGPT, [music] ask ChatGPT to help you discover problems worth solving. So, an example prompt, what problems in the world do I care about and feel called to help people [music] solve?
Now, when you mix in what you love, what what people need, you have your actual mission or your purpose. Now, you feel fulfilled.
And that's so [music] many people's problems. Most people aren't living the life that they would desire and truly aren't happy in life, not because of the money. They think that they're not making enough money, therefore they're not happy.
For one, they're chasing [music] happiness.
Everybody has the pursuit of happiness.
You ask most people what do they want to be in life or [music] at the end of their life, they'll just tell you some generic answer. They're like, "Uh, I just want to be happy."
No, they don't. They think that they want to be happy.
But, if somebody was happy, like if I was happy 100% of the time each and every single day, >> [music] >> that would be a boring That would be a very boring life. I want to feel some different emotions. Sometimes I want to feel sad.
>> [music] >> I'll listen to some sad music sometimes.
The older that I get, I'm realizing that when I get emotional, when I hear certain stories and [music] get sad and whatnot, I I can cry.
I I cried watching the movie uh last week. I cried during the Michael Jackson movie.
All right, but most people are in the pursuit of happiness when actually, if they just realize that they just need fulfillment, then they would have that happiness that they [music] think that they're shooting for. Most people aren't living the lives that they want to because [music] they're not fulfilled each and every single day, right?
So, once you have these four >> [music] >> right here, when you can mix in what you love with what you're good at with [music] something that people can will pay for with something that the world actually needs, that's when [music] you have your ikigai. That's when you have your actual business. That's when you have that meaningful work where you feel fulfilled, [music] where you're doing something that you actually have some love for, that you're good at, and actually [music] having a positive impact on the world because you're giving people what they actually need, and you're getting paid for that, right?
So, this is the ikigai, and this is a exercise that Japa- the [music] Japanese do, and this is the foundation to everything that I'm doing right now.
And >> [music] >> this isn't just about purpose, this is about building a business around your purpose. And if you're ready to step within your purpose and do what you were intended to do and have a positive impact on people, and turn your YouTube [music] channel into a digital product sales engine [music] all around what you were meant to do, then go ahead and click the link down in the description and join this [music] Crafted at the Top community, and I'll see you on the inside. I'm truly on a mission to make it Crafted at the Top.
And it's a It's a pretty swell time that I have helping to >> [music] >> to guide people to walk within their path, but a lot of times it's just a a mental block that they're having.
And once [music] you break that down and actually go within first instead of looking [music] outward for all the answers, you'll start to see that a lot of things start to get in alignment, [music] and you'll start to vibrate on the same frequency as everything that you desire. You'll be vibrating and operating on a higher consciousness, [music] and then you'll be able to architect and design any life that you want to for yourself.
And it's pretty cool.
But uh go ahead and check out this video right here for an entire [music] step-by-step free course that breaks down how to take what you're meant to do and turn it into a business.
It's Crafted at the Top.
