About this process

👉 Group coaching curriculum and live facilitation system designed to guide cohorts from deep self-reflection to sustained behavioral change. By combining structured asynchronous workspace prompts with high-engagement 75-minute live sessions, this process eliminates passive lecturing and turns every call into an active peer-accountability lab. Multi-Session Coaching Arc & Guided Pre-Work: Ready-to-use asynchronous modules covering Values & Energy Audits, Boundaries & Delegation Inventories, and Two-Question Inquiry Circles (pairing one diagnostic prompt with one forward-looking shift) so participants arrive prepared for deeper conversations. 75-Minute Live Session Blueprint: A repeatable facilitation agenda featuring rapid pulse checks, coach pattern spotlights, structured Peer Triads (curiosity-only listening), and Peer Hot Seats where cohorts role-play real-world leadership bottlenecks together. 1-Year Vision & Milestone Roadmap: Guided future-state exercises that help participants translate long-term aspirations across work, health, and relationships into a concrete 1-year strategic vision and reverse-engineered 90-day focus areas. Habit & Experiment Accountability Tracker: Built-in commitment lock-ins at the close of every session where members log specific behavioral experiments, track weekly habit consistency, and receive async coach and peer check-ins between live calls.

1. Review coach preparation notes

Before opening this discovery session with the client, review their intake diagnostic data and recent reflections from the Life Wheel.

Keep these coaching anchors top of mind:

•Elicit, don't prescribe: Listen for recurring emotional resonance, energetic shifts, and peak stories rather than intellectualized ideals.
•Differentiate shoulds from core values: Watch out for inherited familial or social obligations masquerading as intrinsic values.
•Bridge to application: Keep every value tethered to behavioral evidence in daily routines and future vision.
Write a note
2. Select your core values

Scan the values below and choose the principles that feel most central to who you are at your best. Look beyond what you feel you ought to value and focus on what genuinely drives your fulfillment, vitality, and inner boundaries.

Select the 4 to 6 values that resonate most deeply, and add a comment to each chosen value with one word describing what it means to you.

Choose one or more
  • 🌿 Authenticity & Integrity
  • 🧭 Autonomy & Freedom
  • 🌱 Growth & Lifelong Learning
  • 🤝 Connection & Belonging
  • 💡 Creativity & Curiosity
  • ⚖️ Balance & Inner Peace
  • 🎯 Purpose & Impact
  • 🦁 Courage & Vulnerability
  • 🌻 Joy & Playfulness
  • 🛡️ Stability & Security
3. Unpack your peak moments

To discover where your chosen values show up organically, examine a specific peak life experience.

Recall a moment in your life when you felt completely fulfilled, aligned, and true to yourself. It could be a career milestone, a creative breakthrough, a quiet personal choice, or a relationship experience.

Reflect on that moment using this inquiry structure:

•The Scene: What was happening, and who was involved?
•The Feeling: What specific feelings of vitality or peace were present?
•The Value in Action: Which of your core values was fully honored in that moment?

Share your story below. React with 🌟 on your coach's comments or questions that spotlight hidden themes.

Write a note
4. Identify values friction and boundaries

Values become equally clear when they are compromised or suppressed. Recognizing values violations reveals non-negotiable boundaries.

Think of a recent time when you experienced intense frustration, burnout, resentment, or a sense of inner compromise.

Work through these reflective prompts:

1.The Friction: What expectation or circumstance triggered discomfort?
2.The Trampled Value: Which core value was silenced, compromised, or neglected?
3.The Boundary Gap: What boundary was missing, or what conversation was avoided?

Post your reflection below. We will use this to establish clear boundaries in your coaching roadmap.

Write a note
5. Draft your 3-year vision narrative

Now we project forward. Imagine stepping into your life 3 years from today, fully grounded in your core values.

Do not worry about the logistics or "how-to" mechanics yet; focus entirely on the qualitative picture of your life across these four dimensions:

•Work & Contribution: What are you creating, leading, or learning? How does it honor your need for impact or autonomy?
•Health & Energy: How do you feel in your body? What daily practices nourish your energy?
•Relationships & Community: Who surrounds you? What is the emotional depth of your connections?
•Lifestyle & Space: Where do you spend your days? How much room exists for joy, play, and stillness?

Write your narrative as if you are living it right now, using present tense ("I wake up...", "My days are centered around...").

Add notes
6. Synthesize all personal compass deliverable

Synthesize your work into your official Personal Compass and Vision Statement 1-page. Draw directly from your selected values, peak moments, boundary insights, and 3-year narrative to complete this exact format:

•My Top 3 Core Values & Behavioral Anchors:
◦Value 1: [Value name] — "I honor this daily by [specific behavior or practice]."
◦Value 2: [Value name] — "I honor this daily by [specific behavior or practice]."
◦Value 3: [Value name] — "I honor this daily by [specific behavior or practice]."
•My Non-Negotiable Boundary: One explicit line I draw to protect my energy and integrity.
•My 3-Year Vision Declaration: A 3 to 4 sentence North Star statement capturing the life I am actively creating.
•First Horizon Shift: One immediate mindset or habit shift I will make starting this week.

This document will serve as our benchmark for accountability throughout our coaching partnership.

1. Uncover Your Starting Point

Welcome. Before we jump into strategy or solutions, let's take a quick snapshot of where your focus is right now. To help us get grounded, what brings you to this session today?

Choose one or more
  • 🌫️ Overwhelm & Overthinking
  • ⏳ Procrastination & Hesitation
  • 🔋 Low Energy & Burnout
  • 🧭 Lack of Clarity or Direction
  • ⚡ High Stress & Crisis Reaction
2. Identify Your Emotional & Temporal Triggers

Now let's look at pattern recognition. High-stress or low-execution moments rarely happen completely at random—they usually attach themselves to specific times of day or internal states. When does this pattern tend to show up most strongly?

Choose one or more
  • 🌅 Every Morning
  • ☀️ Every Lunchtime
  • 🌇 Every Afternoon
  • 🌙 Every Night
3. What emotional state acts as the main trigger?
Choose one or more
  • 😰 Anxious
  • 🤯 Overwhelmed
  • ⏳ Rushed / Stressed
  • 🥱 Exhausted / Low Energy
  • 🤷 Unmotivated / Stuck
  • 😤 Frustrated / Angry
4. Separate Thoughts from Feelings

Now let's isolate the story your brain is telling you in those moments. Remember: an emotion is usually described in one word, while a thought is a sentence or narrative.

Tell me: when you feel that trigger hit, what is the exact sentence going through your head?

Add notes
5. Reframe through Time Horizons (The 10/10/10 Check)

Let's create some distance from that thought so it loses its grip on you. Take a deep breath in... and exhale slowly.

Looking at the situation connected to that thought, ask yourself:

Rate how significant this situation will feel across these timeframes

Choose one or more
  • 🔴 Critical
  • 🟡 Moderate
  • 🟢 Minor
6. Lock In the Single Constructive Action

Transformation isn't about massive leaps; it's about closing the gap between insight and action.

Ask yourself: 'What is the single most constructive next step I can take in the next 15 minutes?'

1. Welcome.

When we try to build habits, we often focus on what we want to achieve rather than who we wish to become. Real, sustainable transformation happens when your habits become a vote for your identity. Let's start by defining who you are building this system for.

Let's start here:

Complete this sentence:👉 'I am building a habit to become the kind of person who..."

Add notes
2. Map the Habit Trigger & Anchor

A habit needs an anchor—an existing cue in your day that tells your brain it's time to act. Without an anchor, a new habit relies purely on willpower, which runs out quickly.

Select and add comment with the following:

•Time-based (e.g., Every morning at 8:00 AM)
•Location-based (e.g., When I sit down at my desk)
•Preceding Action (e.g., Immediately after opening my laptop)
•Emotional state (e.g., When I feel overwhelmed by my inbox)
Choose one or more
  • 🌅 Every Morning
  • ☀️ Every Lunchtime
  • 🌇 Every Afternoon
  • 🌙 Every Night
3. Reduce Friction to Under 2 Minutes

The biggest mistake in habit building is making the initial step too large. We want to make the entry point so effortless that it's harder to skip than to do.

• Environment Setup (Preparing tools/space the night before)
•Rule of 2 Minutes (Scaling down the action to 2 minutes maximum)
•Eliminating Distractions (Blocking apps, clearing physical workspace)
•Accountability Hook (Sharing progress asynchronously)
Choose one
  • Option 1
  • Option 2
4. Commit to the Tracking Loop

You don't need a perfect streak; you need consistency in returning to the system. Never miss twice. Let's lock in your tracking routine right now.

1. List some goals.

Reflecting on your values can help you identify your goals. We use them to guide our decisions and actions.

When our behaviors are aligned with our values, we feel better. Our values might be about work, relationships, health, and personal growth. We are including the following categories: Relationships, Personal Growth, Rituals, and Wealth.

•Relationships: In terms of your personal or professional life, who would you like to keep a strong relationship with? And who would you rather not have around you? Are you interested in making new connections? What kind of community do you want to build?
•Wealth: When you distribute wealth, how do you do it? It's not just about how much money you would like to have in the bank, but also what you would do with that money. How would you spend it?
•Rituals: What rituals would you like to create or maintain? Imagine having a fun night with your wife/husband once a week without kids, and going out for pizza with your friends every Friday.

So let's list some goals. 👈

Remember to revisit and edit these as often as you like.

GOALS:

1.Goals should be bigger and long-term
2.Goals should reflect how you would like to improve your life

🙏 Mark this step as complete once you are done👇Thank you!

2. SMART Goals

Once you've identified a goal, divide it into SMART Goals.

We suggest working on one to three goals at a time.

3. Next 90 days

Choose 2 or 3 goals and define the actions you will take in the next following 90 days.

What actions do you need to start, and which actions do you need to stop?

The Energy Leak Map

7 steps

In this interactive group coaching workshop, you will audit where your energy expands versus where it leaks, uncover friction points where your core values feel compromised, and work in peer triads to uncover systemic patterns. You will walk away with an enforceable boundary blueprint and conversational script to protect your vital focus.

  2. 2

    Plot energizers

  3. 3

    Plot 🪫 drainers

  7. 7

    Draft your boundary blueprint

Read the full text
1. Prepare triad breakout prompts

Review the group roster and organize participants into triads for today's dynamic coaching rounds.

Prepare the room or breakout spaces with clear timing parameters:

•3 minutes of personal reflection time per stage
•5 minutes per person during triad sharing (15 minutes total per breakout)
•2 minutes for immediate peer pattern reflection

Ensure all cohort members have access to their previously identified operating values from earlier coaching modules to accelerate friction spotting.

Write a note
2. Plot energizers

Conduct an unvarnished audit of your day-to-day leadership cadence over the past 30 to 60 days.

Sort your recurring meetings, responsibilities, relational dynamics, and operational tasks and find engagements that leave you feeling sharp, generative, aligned, and resilient. Add one per sticky note.

•Peak Energy Zones (+): Engagements that leave you feeling sharp, generative, aligned, and resilient.

Add your top 3 peak energizers below, tagging each entry with 🔥

Add sticky notes
3. Plot 🪫 drainers

Conduct an unvarnished audit of your day-to-day leadership cadence over the past 30 to 60 days.

Sort your recurring meetings, responsibilities, relational dynamics, and operational interactions, hidden obligations, or tasks that consistently trigger dread, exhaustion, resentment, or mental drag. Add one per sticky note.

•Depletion Zones (-): Interactions, hidden obligations, or tasks that consistently trigger dread, exhaustion, resentment, or mental drag.

Look closely at subtle micro-drains: delayed decisions, emotional hand-holding, ambiguous handoffs, or meetings with no agenda.

Add your top 3 depletion zones below, tagging each entry with 🔥

Add sticky notes
4. Name your trampled value

Values friction happens when everyday behavior or organizational demands actively violate or suppress a core personal value. Resentment is almost always the smoke signaling this friction.

Reflect on your worst depletion zone from the previous step and pinpoint the exact value under siege using this diagnostic framework:

•Autonomy: Constrained by micromanagement, endless consensus checks, or lack of agency.
•Excellence / Craft: Compromised by rushed deadlines, sloppy delivery, or cutting critical corners.
•Candor / Truth: Choked by political posturing, unspoken elephants, or avoiding tough truths.
•Respect / Space: Erode by boundary creep, late-night pings, or constant firefighting.
•Impact / Contribution: Drowned in administrative trivia or misaligned busywork.

Write down the specific incident, the core value that was trampled, and the physical or emotional sensation it caused (such as a tight chest, clenched jaw, or mental fog). React with 🔥 to confirm your commitment to addressing this friction directly.

Add notes
5. Diagnose hidden behavioral patterns

Meet in your assigned triads. Each person presents their trampled value for 3 minutes while the other two listen for blind spots and behavioral dynamics rather than jumping into problem-solving.

Use peer inquiry to expose the defensive coping mechanism keeping the leak alive:

•Over-functioning: Stepping in to rescue others, micromanaging outcomes, or doing other people's thinking because it feels faster.
•Conflict Avoidance: Staying silent in high-friction meetings, softening feedback, or giving indefinite passes to preserve artificial harmony.
•Approval Seeking: Saying yes to peripheral projects out of guilt or an underlying need to be seen as indispensable.
•Hero Syndrome: Silently taking the emotional hit or workload burden while waiting for others to notice your martyrdom.

Document the recurring pattern your triad partners helped you illuminate, along with the short-term payoff that has historically made you tolerate this cost.

Add notes
6. Select your boundary arena

A boundary is not a demand placed on someone else; it is a clear decision about what you will personally tolerate, engage with, or remove yourself from.

Select the single operational domain where implementing an immediate boundary will reclaim the most cognitive and emotional bandwidth over the next week.

Choose one
  • 🛑 Calendar & Time Deficits (declining non-essential meetings or blocking recovery focus time)
  • 💬 Difficult Conversational Candor (delivering delayed feedback or pushing back on unrealistic deadlines)
  • 🔀 Delegation & Stepping Back (stopping operational over-functioning and returning problem ownership to the team)
  • 📴 Digital Availability & Communication (shutting down out-of-hours messaging and establishing response latency rules)
7. Draft your boundary blueprint

Translate your insights into a concrete, executable boundary contract and verbatim script using the formula below:

1.The Boundary Rule: When [trigger situation occurs], I will [concrete action or refusal].
2.The Direct Script: The exact 1–2 statement you will say out loud or write to stakeholders without over-explaining or apologizing.
•Example formula: "To ensure we deliver [critical priority] with excellence, I will not be able to attend [meeting/project]. [Owner] is empowered to make the call, and I will review the summary."
1.The Clean Edge: What you will explicitly avoid doing when the discomfort of holding the boundary kicks in (e.g., no softening apologies, no backtracking over Slack).

Draft your complete boundary contract and verbatim script below. React with 🤝 on your peers' entries to hold them accountable.

Peer Hot Seat: The Handoff

5 steps

In this live group coaching workshop, you will audit the operational and strategic tasks you are clinging to out of habit, perfectionism, or fear of irrelevance. Working together and supporting peer hot seats, you will stress-test your delegation barriers and draft an exact conversational script to hand off work or reset an upward boundary.

    ✍️ Your Handoff & Boundary Script

Read the full text
1. 🗂️ Audit Clung-To Tasks

Leaders often bottleneck their teams by hoarding tasks under the belief that "only I can do this right."

Review your current weekly calendar, recurring deliverables, and decision gates. Identify 2–3 specific responsibilities you continue to own directly even though your leadership role has outgrown them.

Use these three diagnostic filters to locate your clinging zones:

•The Perfectionism Trap: Tasks you keep because explaining the nuances or tolerating an 80% outcome feels too risky.
•The Comfort Zone Habit: Low-friction operational tasks you used to excel at that give you a quick dopamine hit of competence.
•The Identity & Irrelevance Fear: Decisions or high-visibility duties you hold because letting them go makes you question what your core value to the organization actually is.

Indicate the number or percentage of each so you have to evaluate which one carries more weight.

Write a note
2. 🧭 Diagnose Your Clinging Driver

Before handing over ownership or establishing a firm boundary, you must pinpoint the primary internal driver keeping you anchored to operational execution. 💫💥Review your audited items and identify the core psychological obstacle preventing an outright handoff or upward pushback.

Select the dominant driver that most commonly holds you back from letting go, and add a brief comment explaining how this pattern shows up in your workweek.

Choose one
  • 👑 Hero Syndrome: Believing execution quality collapses without my direct involvement
  • 🛡️ Fear of Irrelevance: Worrying that stepping back from details diminishes my visibility and authority
  • ⏳ The Speed Illusion: Concluding that doing it myself is faster than onboarding someone else
  • ⚖️ Conflict Avoidance: Hesitating to push back on upward executive demands or hold direct reports accountable
3. 🎤 Bring Cases to Peer Hot Seat

Two volunteers will take the hot seat to work through a real-world delegation breakdown or a high-stakes upward boundary (such as negotiating an impossible executive deadline or refusing scope creep from an executive).

If you are stepping into the hot seat, formulate your case below using this three-part structure:

1.The Scenario & Counterparty: Who needs to receive this conversation (e.g., direct report, peer lead, CEO)?
2.The Bottleneck or Boundary: What specific responsibility or deadline must shift?
3.The Counterparty's Anticipated Pushback: What objection, defensive reaction, or anxiety do you expect them to express?

Peers in the circle should read the submissions and vote on the two cases the group should actively role-play.

Choose one or more
  • The Scenario & Counterparty: Pushing back on our CEO regarding an unvetted Q1 regional expansion launch date.
  • The Bottleneck or Boundary: We cannot hit the Q1 launch without burning out Ops; either the timeline moves to Q2, or we pause two current infrastructure upgrades.
  • The Counterparty's Anticipated Pushback: She/He’ll say the board already expects Q1 momentum and accuse operations of being too risk-averse or slowing down growth.
4. 🎭 Role-Play the Exact Conversation Script

As a group, stress-test and role-play the two selected hot-seat cases in real time.

Use this proven four-part conversational architecture to establish clean authority without creating defensiveness:

1.Objective Frame: State the shift neutrally without apologizing (e.g., "To ensure our team delivers on [Priority A], I am transferring end-to-end ownership of [Deliverable] to you." or "Given the revised deadline on [Project], we need to choose which existing deliverable we are deselecting.")
2.Clear Intent & Definition of Done: Clarify boundaries, decision rights, and what a successful outcome looks like without micromanaging the process.
3.Anticipated Obstacle Support: Acknowledge their capacity or skill gaps proactively (e.g., "What support or air cover do you need from me to lead this autonomously?").
4.Firm Cadence Lock: Set a structured check-in rhythm rather than an open-door policy (e.g., "Let's review draft progress this Thursday at 2 PM, and then shift this into our bi-weekly 1:1.").

Share suggested phrasing, counter-moves to tough pushbacks, and coaching feedback for the hot-seat cases as comments below.

5. ✍️ Your Handoff & Boundary Script

Translate the peer role-play techniques into your personal operational deliverable. Choose one critical task you audited in Step 1 or a firm upward boundary you must set this week.

Draft your complete, ready-to-deliver script directly in a note using the exact structure below:

•Recipient & Context: [Name/Role, context of the conversation, and scheduled setting]
•The Opening Line: [Direct, non-apologetic statement naming the transfer of ownership or boundary reset]
•The Guardrails & Decision Rights: [Clear definition of what they own, what requires check-ins, and what done looks like]
•The Pushback Rebuttal: [Your planned, grounded response to their primary anticipated hesitation]
•The Check-In Commitment: [Exact date, time, and format for the transition milestone review]

Ensure your script is written in your natural leadership voice and ready to use in your next meeting.

Future-Self Press Release

3 steps

In this live group coaching workshop, you will step three years into the future to craft an unapologetic, present-tense vision across your leadership, health, and relational boundaries. You will read selected excerpts aloud as a Future-Self Press Release to collect peer resonance and reveal blind spots, then reverse-engineer one foundational 90-day anchor habit that locks that future state into your daily operating reality starting today.

  1. 1

    ✍️ Draft 3-Year Vision Narrative

1. ✍️ Draft 3-Year Vision Narrative

Step exactly 36 months into the future. Write this narrative entirely in the present tense, as if you are currently living this exact reality today. Do not write about how you hope things will turn out or the struggle of getting there; capture the tangible textures, daily rhythms, and operating standards of your future self.

Structure your draft across three non-negotiable arenas:

•Work & Executive Impact: What high-leverage problems are you solving? What have you completely stopped doing or delegated away? What does your calendar look like on a typical Tuesday?
•Somatic Vitality & Health: How do you feel when you wake up? What physical routines, sleep baselines, and energy management boundaries protect your baseline cognitive capacity?
•Relational Depth & Boundaries: Who has access to your time? How are your personal and familial connections flourishing without being shortchanged by professional ambitions?

Use this anchor formula: "It is [Month, Year + 3]. My primary leadership focus is now [core outcome], having fully transitioned out of [old habit/task]. My body feels [physical state] because my non-negotiable routine is [daily baseline], and my evenings are reserved for [core relationship/boundary]."

Draft your narrative below (notes are private in this step). When finished, bold a 2-3 sentence excerpt that acts as your headline press release to read aloud to the group.

Write a note
2. 🎙️ Mirror Resonant Future Themes

Take turns reading your bolded press release headline and core paragraph aloud to the room. Read slowly, with full ownership and emotional conviction—do not apologize, qualify, or diminish what you have written.

While each peer reads, listen not just to their words, but to where their vocal energy peaks, where hesitation surfaces, and what core patterns emerge.

Provide direct feedback for each presenter using these three reflection prompts:

•Resonance: Where did their voice and energy convey absolute certainty and magnetic clarity?
•Core Theme: What single archetypal identity or leadership pattern best describes their future self (e.g., The Strategic Architect, The Grounded Operator, The Sovereign Creator)?
•Friction Check: What unspoken current habit or operational trap might threaten this vision if left unaddressed?

Post your feedback for each presenter below. Once you have received feedback from your peers, react with 🎯 on the observation that highlights your most vital leverage point.

3. ⚓ Anchor One 90-Day Habit

A distant vision without an immediate behavioral anchor remains an intellectual fantasy. Identify the single keystone habit that, if practiced consistently over the next 90 days, makes the attainment of your three-year vision disproportionately more likely.

Do not attempt a total lifestyle overhaul. Select one small, repeatable action that directly bridges your present behavior to your future identity.

Define your 90-day anchor habit using this precise behavioral architecture:

•Keystone Habit: What is the micro-action (under 10 minutes to start) that embodies your future self?
•Implementation Trigger: State the exact time and context cue: "When [specific daily anchor event happens], I will immediately [keystone habit]."
•Environment Design: What environmental friction must you eliminate to make failure difficult (e.g., phone in another room, calendar block locked at 8:00 AM)?
•Leading Metric: How will you track execution consistency across the next 90 days (e.g., 5 days per week checkmark)?

Write your completed 90-day habit blueprint below as your personal operational contract. React with 🤝 to your peers' commitments to serve as peer accountability partners.

2. 💡 Coach Theme Spotlight

As your coach introduces today's focal concept and frames the systemic patterns observed across the cohort, identify what resonates most with your current leadership landscape.

Consider:

•Where are you noticing collective tension or shared friction?
•What underlying assumption needs to be challenged today?

Select the pattern that speaks loudest to your reality right now, and add a quick comment explaining why.

Choose one
  • ⏳ Over-functioning & capacity friction
  • 🛡️ Boundary slippage & saying yes too fast
  • 🎭 Perfectionism & fear of letting go
  • 🎯 Strategic ambiguity & competing priorities
  • 🌪️ Emotional contagion & team firefighting
3. 🎯 Choose Breakout Format: We are moving into our 35-minute peer deep-dive block.

Decide together how we will spend our breakout time today:

•Hot Seat: 1–2 courageous volunteers take the floor with a live, messy leadership challenge while the coach facilitates and peers ask inquiry-driven questions.
•Peer Triads: Break into 3-person rooms for 10 minutes per person using clean listening rules (pure curiosity questions, zero unsolicited advice).

Select your preferred format for today's session.

Choose one
  • 🔥 Main Room Hot Seat (1-2 leaders in the spotlight)
  • 👥 Peer Triads (3-person structured breakout rooms)
4. 🔍 Log Peer Breakthroughs

Capture the live insights, powerful questions, and perspective shifts uncovered during your hot seat or triad breakout.

Remember the cardinal rule of deep coaching: No unsolicited advice or quick fixes.

Focus on what shifted the frame:

•Catalytic Question: What question cracked open a new perspective?
•Root Pattern: What fear, habit, or blind spot was operating beneath the surface?
•Aha! Moment: What felt like the turning point for the leader?

Log 1–2 breakthrough observations or powerful questions below. React with ❤️or👍 to the reflections that resonate across the room.

1. List some goals.

Reflecting on your values can help you identify your goals. We use them to guide our decisions and actions.

When our behaviors are aligned with our values, we feel better. Our values might be about work, relationships, health, and personal growth. We are including the following categories: Relationships, Personal Growth, Rituals, and Wealth.

•Relationships: In terms of your personal or professional life, who would you like to keep a strong relationship with? And who would you rather not have around you? Are you interested in making new connections? What kind of community do you want to build?
•Wealth: When you distribute wealth, how do you do it? It's not just about how much money you would like to have in the bank, but also what you would do with that money. How would you spend it?
•Rituals: What rituals would you like to create or maintain? Imagine having a fun night with your wife/husband once a week without kids, and going out for pizza with your friends every Friday.

So let's list some goals. 👈

Remember to revisit and edit these as often as you like.

GOALS:

1.Goals should be bigger and long-term
2.Goals should reflect how you would like to improve your life

🙏 Mark this step as complete once you are done👇Thank you!

2. SMART Goals

Once you've identified a goal, divide it into SMART Goals.

We suggest working on one to three goals at a time.

3. Next 90 days

Choose 2 or 3 goals and define the actions you will take in the next following 90 days.

What actions do you need to start, and which actions do you need to stop?
