The Ladder is Broken.
Make Your Ascent.
The era of the linear career is over. We are navigating an exponentially changing world with a map from the Industrial Revolution. It’s time to trade the path of prestige for the path of divergence.
For generations, we signed a social contract: Pick a lane, climb the ladder and society will keep you safe. That contract is void.
In the age of AI, rapid disruption and longevity, staying in your lane is no longer safe. In fact, it’s the most dangerous thing you can do. The ladder has become fragile. It can no longer hold the weight of change.
We don’t need to climb it faster.
We need to look elsewhere.
The Safety Trap.
Three Frameworks.
One Ascent.
The undefinable Ascent is my methodology for helping you to integrate who you are with how you work. It relies on three frameworks that together enable you to arrive at your own personal summit.
The Purpose Acropolis: Your ideal life and destination.
The Energy Toolkit: Your capacity for the climb.
The Income Pathway: Your practical route to making it a reality.
The Purpose Acropolis.
The antidote to fragility.
The blueprint begins by gathering the raw Materials of your interests. We use them to lay a Foundation of semi-professional categories that offer you focus and room to grow.
We tie the vision together by placing the Keystone of your Golden Thread, then raise the Roof with the intellectual property of your Signature Expression.
Finally, we support the structure with the Pillars of Value Streams that enable you to keep showing up year after year.
The Energy Toolkit
The antidote to burnout.
You cannot conquer the mountain if you are exhausted at Basecamp. Most undefinables try to manage their time, but the secret to longevity is managing your energy.
The ascent requires specific equipment. You must lace up your Boots to maintain your physical baseline and fill your Flask to fuel your motivation with purpose, profit and play.
You’ll need a Stopwatch to pace your progress so you know when to sprint and when to rest and an Ice Axe to shape your environment and cut through distractions. Finally, you must keep a Field Guide to accelerate your ascent by learning from those who climbed before you.
The Income Pathway.
The antidote to limitation.
Passion is a hobby, but profit is a system. You must design a business model that sustains your life, rather than a life that sustains your business.
Your route begins at Basecamp where you secure the financial runway to climb with intention. You then plant a Flag to make your work visible and find a secure Foothold through paid experiments.
To scale trust, you light a Beacon of credibility and construct a Signpost to price your value effectively. Finally, you build a Stairway to productise your knowledge and decouple your income from your time.
The Golden Thread
A building is static, but a life is dynamic.
What connects your Acropolis, your Toolkit and your Pathway? Your Golden Thread.
It's the recurring theme that has appeared in every chapter of your life. It connects who you are, who you help and how you help them. When you identify this thread, the noise stops. You realize that your diverse interests are not distractions, but different expressions of the same core purpose.
