The seed of Inner Compass was planted when I (Jan, the founder) was going through a particularly stormy period of my life. I was working full-time as a management consultant, building a business on the side, and trying to navigate a move to a new country.

My life felt chaotic, and I struggled to prioritize my time. I frequently questioned my choices and direction, and my stress levels began to take a toll on my health. I developed cavities in half of my teeth due to the constant stress, and I often found myself lying awake at night, overwhelmed by anxiety.

It was during this challenging time that I created the Life Compass. This Notion-based system, initially designed to help me organize my chaotic mind, quickly evolved and grew. As I refined it, I realised that I could teach others how to organise their minds and structure their goals. I gradually came to understand that meaningful change was not about working harder, but about living smarter and focusing on the things that matter most.

I began to search my soul to figure out what I really wanted from life. I knew I wanted to make a positive impact on the world, but I had no idea what that looked like in practice. My journey was full of false starts, disappointments, and moments of doubt. However, I was fortunate to have inspiring mentors, wise teachers, and supportive friends who helped guide me along the way.

Now, my goal is to create a community where people can come together to support one another on their journeys of self-growth and self-discovery. I want to share everything I've learned from my own journey and empower others to create lives aligned with their highest values. Inner Compass exists to provide resources, knowledge, and inspiration to those seeking a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
