  • I’ve typed up a list of questions below. You don’t need to use this exact list. It’s just here to give you a rough idea of what I’m talking about: What kinds of things have I enjoyed working on in the past? What kinds of work have driven me insane in the past? What am I passionate about? When was the last time I was so excited I could barely contain myself? What about the last time I got really angry about something? Am I usually happier working alone or with other people? How much free time do I want to have in my life? What do I absolutely love telling other people about? What have I spent the most time in life learning about? What do I believe that most people don’t? How much money do I want to make? What kinds of people would I like to meet and interact with? What am I particularly good at? What am I bad at? What kinds of praise and accolades have I gotten in the past? What is it that people say about me that makes me feel the best? When am I good at motivating myself, and when do I need others to hold me accountable? What do I never get bored of doing, even when it gets hard? What gives me energy? What stresses me out? What kinds of errors and mistakes have I tended to make in the past? What do I want to learn about or get better at? Who do I respect? Whose life am I jealous of? What do I wish I was forced to do on a regular basis? What kinds of people, if any, would I want working alongside me? Any specific individuals? What aspects of my life do I want to keep intact no matter what? In an ideal world, what kind of life would I want to live, and what kind of person would I be? What would I like to change about the world around me? What parts of running a business scare or worry me? What parts excite me? (View Highlight)
