Letter to the Reader

“You’re going to see your parents fifteen more times before they die.”

Those simple words changed my entire life—but only because I acted on them.

They were spoken by an old friend who had asked me how I was doing. At the time, I was marching down an all-too-familiar path, chasing money, status, and material things, thinking that they would create a good life. While things were going well on the surface, the deeper realities were showing cracks.

I replied to my friend that it had started to get difficult living so far away from my aging parents, who were on the East Coast, three thousand miles away. I had noticed them slowing down and had grown aware of their mortality for the first time in my life.

He asked how old they were. I said mid-sixties. He asked how often I saw them. I admitted it was down to about once per year. He paused and then spoke those words:

“Okay, so you’re going to see your parents fifteen more times before they die.”

It was a gut punch. The realization that you have limited time left with the people you care about most can stir emotion in even the most stoic individual.

And in that moment, I was struck by a stark awareness of one fact: My entire definition of success—of what it meant to build a wealthy life—had been incomplete. I was prioritizing one thing—financial success—at the expense of everything else. I was going to win the battle but lose the war.

But awareness is nothing without action.

The next day, my wife and I had a candid conversation about the values we wanted to build our life around. That conversation led to a bold action. Within forty-five days, I had left my job, we had sold our house in California, and we had moved three thousand miles across the country to live closer to both of our sets of parents.

In that dramatic action was a powerful truth: We were in control. Of everything. Nobody was coming to save us. We had reassumed agency over our lives.

And if there’s one thing I can promise, it’s this: You are entirely capable of doing the same. You are entirely capable of squeezing everything you want out of this life. Of doing hard things. Of figuring it out. Of meeting your responsibilities with energy and enthusiasm.

It does not take talent or intelligence, just courage.

Throughout your life, you will encounter certain “truths” that are only truths in the sense that they’ve been repeated so many times that people accept them to be true. It takes courage to question these defaults in a world that profits from your acceptance of them.

The truth is that talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not. There’s someone out there living the life you want simply because they had the courage to ask the hard questions.

The life you want is on the other side of the questions you dare to ask.

This Life Planner will help you ask those questions and set your life’s course. It is designed to be dynamic, iterative, and all-encompassing in its capacity to transform every area of your life. You can and should come back to it regularly for reflection, adjustment, and course correction. The pages that follow will guide you on a journey—a new way to design your life, make better decisions, and take the right actions. The journey is just getting started.

Let’s start walking&#8200;.&#8200;.&#8200;.

The 5 Types of Wealth

Pyrrhic victory is a phrase that refers to the victory won at such a steep cost to the victor that it feels like a defeat. The victory damages the victor beyond repair. The battle won, but the war lost.

This is important: A Pyrrhic victory is what you need to avoid in your own life. And unfortunately, a Pyrrhic victory could be where you’re headed if you don’t change direction.
