Most entrepreneurs build a business and hope it eventually gives them the life they want. It never does. The entrepreneurs who actually get there do it backwards. They decide what they want from life first, then build everything else around that.
In this video I walk through the life planning exercise that completely changed the trajectory of my own life, and the 80/20 of each major area (health, wealth, career, spirituality, family, marriage, and social) so you can apply it without the years of trial and error I went through to figure it out.
This has nothing to do with tactics or growth hacks. It's about engineering a life worth living. If you're obsessed with business and live a 1-dimensional life, this isn't for you. If your goal is to live a much more rich, full, happy, memorable life - this is for you.
In This Episode:
• Why "balance" is the wrong goal and 80/20 efficiency is the right one across every area of life
• Health: the four things that matter more than any supplement stack or specific diet
• Wealth: how to figure out your real number, why chasing past it becomes its own trap, and why active income almost always beats investing — and the expensive way I learned that lesson
• Career: why understanding your business math is now a survival skill, not a nice-to-have, and why self-awareness about where you actually spend your time changes everything
• Spirituality: Michael Singer's relax-and-release framework, and why questioning everything — including your own beliefs — is one of the most valuable things you can do
• Family: one hour fully present beats five hours distracted
• Marriage: the single mindset shift that transformed our marriage, and why trying to change your spouse is the fastest way to be miserable
• Social: why being strict about who you let into your life is a business skill as much as a personal one
