Module 2 Worksheet

Finding Your People

Be like the fox. Who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Wendell Berry

Circle 1

People who are where you want to be

Your mentors, your inspiration, your "how did you do that?" conversations.

Ask yourself

Who is doing the kind of work you want to be doing in 3 years? 5 years? 10 years?
Who would you email if you were delusionally confident?
Whose career path makes you think "I want that, but my version of it"?

Who comes to mind?

Name

Circle 2

People who are building alongside you

Your collaborators, accountability partners, the people who get it because they're in the mud too.

Ask yourself

Who in your world is at the same stage as you right now, figuring it out in real time?
Who have you been meaning to check in on but keep putting off?
Who is working on something that overlaps with or complements what you're building?

Who comes to mind?

Name

Circle 3

People who light you up

Not strategic. They just make you feel more like yourself. The wildcard connections that lead to the best surprises.

Ask yourself

Who makes you feel really great?
Who is someone who has changed your life?
What books or podcasts do you love? Who makes them?
Who do you lose track of time talking to?
Who makes you feel more like yourself, not less?
Who are the people you follow on social media who are genuinely interesting to you?
What are your favorite apps? Who makes them?

Who comes to mind?

Name

Circle 4

People who can help you

They have something specific to offer. An intro, a skill, a resource, an opportunity.

Ask yourself

What are 1-3 problems you're trying to solve? Who could help you solve them?
Who are the people that can offer you insights?
Who has access to a room, a conversation, or a community you want to be in?

Who comes to mind?

Worth reaching out to, no goal needed

Some people are just worth connecting with. No strategy required. These names didn't land under a goal above, and that's a feature, not a bug.
