Ikigai, which means reason for being, is a concept believed to be why Japanese people live longer and happier lives. This lesson explains how to use ikigai when creating your course business.

Here are some potential problems if you don’t consider Ikigai when planning your course business:

• You could have a hobby that you can teach as a skill, but you won’t be able to use it to solve problems and help people.

• You may have a skill that you’re good at and can teach, but it’s cover expenses and you’re not growing

• You may have a profession that keeps you comfortable but leaves you feeling empty

• Without Ikigai, you may have what people want and get them to even pay for it, but you’ll be left with a feeling of uncertainty

• You may not be able to find a nexus between your passion and your purpose

These important tips will help you when planning a course business with Ikigai:

• Think of what you love and something you’re always excited about doing

• Find the skill that comes to you easily, and you perform greatly without hassles

• Research how many people are looking for and interested in a topic

• Look at how much people are willing to pay to solve a problem or transformation

• Don’t get overwhelmed, just keep improving with small steps forward

• If you ever achieve Ikigai, set a reminder to re-evaluate every year or new venture
