The start of a new year is a great time to ask: What is your Rich Life? To view this email as a web page, [click here]() {NAME}, The start of a new year is a great time to ask: What is your Rich Life? Is a Rich Life only about money? No! A Rich Life is your ideal life — one where you look at your personal relationships, your finances, and your ordinary days and say, “Wow!” That could be: - Picking up your kids every day from school - Buying a $1,000 cashmere sweater - Buying anything you want from Whole Foods without ever worrying about cost - Taking your family on an incredible Disney World vacation that they’ll never forget Your Rich Life is yours. Not your parents’. Not your friends’. Not even mine. Yours. It’s a life that is full. A life lived intentionally, proactively, and abundantly. [My Rich Life] My Rich Life A Rich Life isn’t all about money. Money is a tool for designing, enhancing, and enjoying the life you’re meant to live. The start of a new year is the perfect time to create your Rich Life vision. (And if you already have a Rich Life vision, it’s a great time to reevaluate it.) Today, I want to share with you a quick exercise to help you define your Rich Life. How to get a clear vision of your ideal life When most people think of their ideal life, they pick one big, long-term goal. Maybe that’s a dream vacation to Paris, or a beautiful home with a large garden, or owning a business that lets them work where they want, when they want. But there is more to your Rich Life than just 1–2 big long-term goals. [8 ways to live a Richer Life]() [8 ways to live a Richer Life]() When you’re crafting your Rich Life vision, it’s helpful to look at ALL areas of a Rich Life … [8 areas of a Rich Life] 8 areas of a Rich Life Together, these 8 areas work as a Rich Life Map. As you map out your Rich Life, think about what your life could look like in each of these areas. [Rich Life Map questions] Rich Life Map questions The goal is to make your Rich Life vision as complete and compelling as possible. Some of these 8 areas may be very important to you. Others you may not care about at all. That’s fine! Remember, your Rich Life is uniquely yours. What matters most is that you’re excited about whatever a Rich Life is to you. To help get you thinking, here are some examples of what living a Rich Life could look like: - Friends and family: Planning drinks before you all see a comedy show - Work: Taking less pay to work part time from home and spend more time with your kids, or consulting on the side to add an extra $1k/month - Self-improvement: Taking a risk on new things outside of your normal comfort zone (e.g., I hired a posture coach who came to my house) - Giving: Setting a minimum amount you’ll tip every year — e.g., $2,000, or 30% for every meal How to create your Rich Life Map Here’s how to create your own Rich Life Map. Remember, your Rich Life is bigger than just a couple of life goals. It’s lived in the details. This exercise will help you get clear on those vivid details so you can start shaping your life the way you want it. 1. For each area in your Rich Life Map, write down your thoughts on what a Rich Life might look like. This could be specific activities you’d like to do, feelings you’d like to have, things to buy, events you’d like to attend, people you’d like to meet. The purpose is to take time to intentionally think about all areas of your Rich Life — including any that you might normally overlook. Don’t worry if you don’t have all of the answers right away. Or if your Rich Life Map feels uneven. The more time you spend thinking about your Rich Life Map, the more detail you’ll be able to add. Remember to write down your answers so that you can see them all and review them in the future. ([Here’s a downloadable version of this chart you can use]().) [Exercise: Your Rich Life Map]() Exercise: Your Rich Life Map 2. When you’re done, ask yourself if some areas are more important to you now than others. What parts of your Rich Life Map get you the most excited? 3. Advanced: Look for any trends in your responses. This is where your Rich Life Map can reveal some real magic. For example, many of the things that make up my Rich Life are about “convenience.” I love anything that simplifies my life, and part of my Rich Life is searching out convenient solutions in many different areas of my life. This insight only came to me when I stepped back and looked for trends in Rich Life interests. Today, knowing this, I can look for additional ways “convenience” can enrich different aspects of my life. After you complete this exercise, you should have a fairly detailed Rich Life vision.
