Business Model You

The nine boxes turned on a person: your skills as key resources, your career as the business model.

What it is

The personal version of the Business Model Canvas: you are the key resource, the people you help are the customer segments, and what you get back (salary, satisfaction, growth) sits where revenue used to. It turns a career conversation into a design session.

Reach for it when

• A coaching or career-development workshop needs structure that isn't a personality quiz
• Someone senior is renegotiating their role and can't see their own value clearly
• A team wants to map who provides what before a reorganization

Running it

1. Draw the canvas and fill "key resources" first: what you know, can do, and own.
2. Name who you help and what they get. Most people discover they serve more segments than their job title admits.
3. Fill costs honestly: time, energy, stress, what you give up.
4. Redesign one box. Not the whole model; one deliberate change to test in the next month.
