1    THE FOUNDATION OF YOU

Starting with a snapshot of you and where you’re at in your life sets up the foundation for
you to build and move forward with confidence. It’s a simple fact-finding mission about the
brand named ‘you’ and is the first step to self-management for success.

•    WHO ARE YOU
•    WHAT HAVE YOU ACHIEVED
•    WHAT ARE YOU GOLDEN MOMENTS
•    WHAT ARE YOU VALUES

2    SIMPLIFY

Simplicity is one of the most valuable and yet most underrated qualities you can strive
to embrace in your life. Simplicity represents clarity, presence and freedom from effort.
When you simplify your life, you effectively clear your mind so you can continue on your
journey with confidence and motivation.

•    GET RID OF THE DRAINERS AROUND HOME/OFFICE/FINANCE/FRIENDSHIPS
•    CREATE SOME BOUNDARIES FOR YOURSELF
•    CREATE YOUR OWN VISION FOR THE FUTURE AND SOME REALISTIC GOALS

3     STRUCTURE

This is because when you have the right structure in place, you have the freedom to be
spontaneous and to grab new opportunities without sacrificing any of your obligations.
It gives you balance and clarity and, just as importantly, the space to work towards
achieving your ambitions.

•    TAKE TIME TO PLAN YOUR DIARY
•    DO A MONTHLY AND YEARLY PLAN
•    TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INSTEAD OF BLAMING OTHERS
•    COMMIT RATHER THAN TRY
•    BE AWARE OF YOUR SELF SABOTAGING WAYS

4    SUCCEED

From here, it’s all about maintenance. The aim of the game is to enjoy and prepare the
next stages of your life so you can face each day with purpose, excitement and quiet
confidence, and therefore lead a successful, balanced life.

•    DEFINE WHAT SUCCESS MEANS TO YOU
•    BE CLEAR ON YOUR AFFIRMATIONS
•    DEVELOP HOBBIES
•    DEVELOP YOUR STRESS BUSTERS
•    REASSESS
