If you're struggling to figure out what to do with your life, try the Odyssey Plan. It's an exercise that Stanford Business School uses to help people figure out their path. You ask yourself three questions: 1️⃣ Your current path: If you continued down your current path, what would your life look like 5 years from now? 2️⃣ Your alternative path: If you had to take a completely different path, what would your life look like 5 years from now? 3️⃣ Your radical path: If you took a completely different path but didn't care what anyone thought and weren't worried about money, what would your life look like? The idea isn't that you pick any one of these. By spending 20 minutes on this exercise, you'll learn something about yourself that I guarantee you haven't realised before. And if by chance, that something is realising you want to start a YouTube channel, you’re in luck because my flagship Part-Time YouTuber Academy is having a limited-time offer of 25% off.

If you are struggling to figure out what to do with your life, then you should totally try out this experiment. It is called the Odyssey Plan, and it's an exercise that apparently Stanford Business School uses to help people basically figure out what to do with their life. Now here's how it works. You basically ask yourself three questions. Question number one is your current path. If you continue to down your current path, what would your life look like five years from now? Question number two is about your alternative path. If you had to take a completely different path, what would your life look like five years from now? And then question number three is what I like to think of as the radical path, which is that if you had to take a completely different path, but you didn't care what anyone thought about you and you weren't worried about money, what would your life look like five years from now? This is an amazing exercise for us to think divergently about the different paths that our life can go. And the idea isn't that we pick any one of these, but the idea is that by just spending 20 minutes to just do the exercise, it will teach you something about yourself that like guarantee you have not realized before.
