You know there’s more to life than you realize. You know you want better for yourself...

- You have the hunger for a better future.
- You want to make the best use of this lifetime.
- You want to integrate your passions with your strength.
- You want to share this passion with the world.
But
- You feel lost, confused, and baseless.
What if I told you that you don’t have to feel this way? That YOU can change this.
First of all,
congratulations!
If you have landed on this page,
you are definitely on the right path.
The Ikiguide© ‘Discover You’ course integrates finding your passion and crafting your narrative to lead you to success in a way that works for you.
The only prerequisite to completing the course is an inclination to do better, be better as well as bear the will to grow and glow.

This course is suitable for:
- Those who want to develop a new approach to life.
- Those who want better for themselves.
- Those who are unsure about what to do with their future and how to get started.
- Those who don’t enjoy what they are doing and would like to do something more.
- Those who are at the tail-end of their career and require a more fulfilled way to spend time after they retire.
Before I go deeper into the course, let me introduce myself.
Hi, I am Nihal Ahmed.
I am deeply vested in helping people find their purpose and realize their true potential. In this journey, I’ve built board games, conferences, workshops, university courses, and entrepreneurship academies, all aimed at helping thousands of people find and do more meaningful work around the world.
I have also founded The Limitless Institute and launched one of the first fellowship programs on well-being for RoundGlass.
Over the decades, I have realized that there are many chapters that our mainstream education has skipped, like discovering our passion, and purpose, starting our own business, learning to solve creative problems, building meaningful relationships, making friends, and enhancing our wellbeing through habits and rituals, etc.


Over the past 12 years, I have actively worked on answering these questions in as many interactive ways and for as many diverse groups of people as possible.
After working with more than 15,000 people across every continent, I have developed a unique approach in the form of a proven course that helps people find answers to questions they have been asking for the longest time.
My ultimate goal is that this course helps individuals see possibilities in themselves that they were not able to see before and take relevant actions. I aim to touch the lives of 1 million people by the year 2025.
While creating Ikiguide©, I channeled the core philosophy of Ikigai into a simple deck of cards that can unlock personal epiphanies and pivotal realizations.
The #1 SECRET
Five elements in living a purposeful life.


The Heart:
Discovering what we love, what makes us come alive, what drains our energy, and what brings us into a state of flow.

The Mind:
What are we good at? How do we build new currencies that make people value us more and leverage them to get what we want?

Soul:
Knowing what our values and needs are, and our relationship with ourselves as well as our future.

Lungs:
How to identify what the world needs and know best how we show up in the world.

The Hands:
How to take action, build the right community around us, and meaningful habits and rituals to grow consistently.
The philosophy
is based on Ikigai – a Japanese concept and a way of life that encompasses purpose, joy, and well-being. As Professor Hasegawa (one of the world’s leading Ikigai experts) states- ”Ikigai is not something to find but patterns to discover and something to live by day to day. The sum of small joys in everyday life results in a more fulfilling life as a whole and something that can help them discover and embrace their true self.”
Finally, author Dan Buettner, the author of Blue Zones who looked into the happiest and healthiest communities on Earth, found Ikigai to be one of the core factors in making that happen.
Craft your unique narrative.
Most of us don’t know ourselves very well and if we don’t have that core understanding, we are taking a shot in the dark.
A majority of us don’t know what we’re passionate about.
According to Gallup, less than 20% of people are engaged at work and over 40% of the global workforce is ready to quit (according to the 2021 Microsoft Work Index). Over half of the workforce feels burnt out and around 40% don’t feel like they can be their authentic selves at work.
Why is this so? It is probably because of the missteps in our education system which fail to help us design our lives.
The journey of self-discovery is full of wonder, clarity, experiments, mistakes, and memories but one of the trickiest things about it is not knowing where to start. And you’re not alone in feeling this way.
Our lives are unique and there is no silver bullet that will work for all of us. We all have vastly different passions, competencies, values, needs, constraints, priorities, discipline, and structure. We need our unique blueprint. Something that works just for us. We can’t have a one-size-fits-all tool like most personality and career tests suggest because:
1. They’re not conclusive and do more damage than help us.
2. They segment us into categories with a few million people and might even mislead us.
And here’s where we make our next mistake, adopting a life that someone else planned for us (albeit with good intentions). This could be our friends, family, or loved ones. Just because they have been there throughout doesn’t mean their blueprint should apply to you.
Remember: nobody understands you better than you do.
We get that it must be overwhelming thinking about it. Not having that clarity makes us feel miserable, stressed, and anxious. The longer we wait to make that shift, the worse we feel to make that transition. This is a heavy price to pay for that. What we need is to discover patterns that fit our uniqueness and life’s path.
Fortunately, we’ve cracked this code in the most effective and engaging way we know.

Going through the Ikiguide© course together as a couple was no less than a revelation. Even after a whole decade of knowing each other, it had us discover quirks, motivations, insecurities and dreams we haven't spoken of before - almost like giving us building blocks to strengthen our relationship.

It’s so important to find your tribe - people you vibe with, who hold you accountable and inspire and support. My mind is truly blown. I came to explore and dive in and change and I have. Lots to do now! Who’s on your team? Who are you supporting? Find the friends you want to hang out with, grow with prospering, share common purposes and face challenges with.
