This is how I retired at 34 using lifestyle design. In 2012, I realized 3 harsh truths. 1. Everyone is "busy" 2. Money doesn't go very far without a plan 3. Living like everyone else gets you a life like everyone else The punk-rock teen that still lived inside of me cringed at the direction of my life. But lucky for me, the up-and-coming adult version of me started to agree. Is this what I wanted? Work 9-5. Pray for Friday. Enjoy life on the weekends. Pay bills. Repeat indefinitely. Nope. So I did something crazy... I took a day off, unplugged from the Matrix and asked myself an important question... "What do I want?" I started to write down things that would bring fulfillment, adventure and purpose into my life. To be more specific, I ripped a page out of the corporate strategy playbook and focused on the next 3 years of my life. Then, I created a strategy to go get it. Fast forward 3 years and I had... - Got promoted at my 9-5 - Dated and married my wife, Lindsay - Started a coaching business on the side - Donated 4 weeks of my time and $15,000 to education - Attained a $100k net worth at 27 (despite $265k in student loans) Creating the strategy to accomplish this was simple. I adapted the 4 phases of strategy to my life with some basic behavioral psychology. Then, I set up systems and accountability to make sure I executed on my goals. Eventually, I made a 7-step process that anyone can follow to design the life they want. Here are three ways I can help you too: 1.
