Have you ever felt like you want to get more out of life? That you\u2019re meant<\/em> to get more out of life, but can\u2019t quite figure out how to achieve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or maybe you\u2019ve spent your life up to now taking the \u201ctraditional\u201d path\u2014doing what you\u2019re supposed<\/em> to do, wanting what your friends and family tell you you\u2019re supposed<\/em> to want\u2014but despite being successful on paper, you can\u2019t shake this restlessness that the life you\u2019ve created isn\u2019t fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if you could change the trajectory of your life\u2014toward fulfillment where you make money doing work that feels meaningful to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if I told you fulfillment isn\u2019t out of reach and isn\u2019t as far away as you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You just need a system to make it a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intentional Life Design is that system.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t \u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intentional Life Design is about spending your most precious resource<\/a>\u2014time\u2014focusing on what resonates with you on a fundamental level and doing work that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Intentional Life is about being intentional<\/em>, aka taking purposeful deliberate action toward a specific outcome\u2014with how we live, work, and create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The alternative to building an Intentional Life? Joining the 76%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a Cornell University study<\/a> by Dr. Tom Gilovich, 76% of people on their deathbeds have the same regret\u2014they accepted a mediocre life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too many people go through life passively, aka unintentionally<\/em>\u2014coasting from one day to the next, bouncing between jobs, and spending their life distracted. They\u2019re too focused on rushing to the weekend, sacrificing family time for a bump in income to buy a new tchotchke that justifies their sacrifice, all the while their hopes and aspirations of a better life slowly decay until they wind up joining the 76% and die regretting not having done more with their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Intentional Life is the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Intentional Life looks different for each of us. It may mean designing your life and business around the freedom to spend more time with loved ones, exploring your curiosity, traveling the world as a Digital Nomad, helping a population you\u2019re deeply passionate about, being in complete control of your schedule and never having to do another meeting that could\u2019ve been an email, or spending every day making an impact on your terms by building your legacy one brick at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sounds great, huh? <\/p>\n\n\n\n But before you can start building an Intentional Life, you need to understand what an Intentional Life isn\u2019t.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Building an Intentional Life isn\u2019t about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sense? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Intentional Life Design isn\u2019t productivity porn or hustle culture 2.0. It\u2019s about doing meaningful, purpose-driven work that fulfills you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common reasons people don\u2019t build an Intentional Life are because we chase the wrong things, we let limiting beliefs stop us, or we don\u2019t even know an Intentional Life is possible for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s dig into each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do so many people die with regrets? They chased what they thought they were supposed <\/em>to want, instead of what they actually <\/em>wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is Intentional Life Design?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
