'Perfect Lifestyle' Program
This program can take 6 months
to 24 months to complete. Do Step 1, and if
you're enjoying yourself and it feels right, keep
going!
Using a Coach
For many
people, the picture they create using this process
is VERY different from their current lifestyle.
If you're serious about living your ideal lifestyle,
it is strongly recommended you use a coach during
this process, or at the very least a motivated
buddy to go through the process with you (working
on their own life). A coach can firstly help you
clarify the picture, make sure it's something
you really want, and that it lights you up. "Are
you dreaming big enough?" Secondly, a coach can
help you develop strategies and action steps to
make the picture a reality. Thirdly, your coach
will remind you that it is possible,
that you do deserve it, and provide
support during this journey.
Step 1
Create a picture of your ideal
lifestyle. Use the questions as a guide; add
your own questions. Assume money is not an issue
i.e. you have plenty. You can worry about HOW
to get your picture later. Now dream!
a) Self Care
How many massages per week? How
much drinking water per day? What kind of body?
Exercise program? Diet? How much energy would
I have? How many walks/fresh air would I have?
How much peaceful time? How much sleep do you
get? How do you dress?

b) Home Environment
Where would you live geographically?
Which suburb? Which country? House/unit? On
the water? In the country? Friendly community?
Climate? What would your bedroom look like?
What lighting, artwork, flowers, smells? Your
yard? How tidy is the house? Do you have a cleaner?
Someone who shops for you? Does the washing?
What car do you drive?

c) Relationship
From your partner, do you want a
commitment for life, or a commitment for now?
What kind of commitment do ~you~ want to make?
Do you want an exclusive relationship, or one
where you explore other relationships? To what
limits? Kids? What's your ideal sex life?

Friends and Family
How many friends do you want in
your life? Do they drop by spontaneously, or
set up weeks in advance? Do your friends know
your other friends? Are they rich? Interesting?
Creative? Warm and Open? Or busy and stressed?
Ideally, how would your relationship with your
mother look? Father? Siblings? (Don't let your
history block you here. Create the ~ideal~ relationships!

e) Career
For this exercise, remember you
don't ~need~ a career. You have plenty of money,
right? So in your perfect world, is there a job
you would enjoy? What would you create or make?
What service would you provide. What kinds of
things have you enjoyed in past careers, or do
you think you would be good at? What kind of
people would you work with? What hours would
you work? Work from home, or in a really funky
office building with a slide down the middle?

f) Enjoyment
What do you do in your ideal lifestyle?
Garden? Paint? Fish? Bushwalk? When you gather
with friends or family, what do you do? Do you
travel? Where; how often? What do you do when
traveling? What do you do for adventure?

Step 2
Read through your picture, asking:
"where have I not dreamed big enough? Where
have I not been honest? Am I holding back?"
Step 3
Read through it once more. This
time ask: "Which are the crucial elements here?"
Some things you've written are central to who
you are, and what you value. Other things might
be what OTHER people want, or sound nice e.g.
a $5 million yacht. Circle or highlight the
things that are really important to you.
Step 4
Do you believe it is possible
for you to have this lifestyle? Do you deserve
it? Are you willing to have this lifestyle
for yourself? Are you willing to make it happen
- to play the game? If YES, continue. If you
answered NO to one of these questions, jump
straight to STEP 6 to get past these blocks.
Step 5
Let's work out where to start
first. Write the numbers 1 through 7 next to
each area, starting with the area that is MOST
important to you right now. (Note - if your
number one area is also the hardest to achieve,
start with an area that is still important,
but easier to achieve in a 1-2 month time period;
you want to generate some early momentum.)
Step 6
For the area you've chosen to
start on first, write down below the Top 10
actions that need to be done to attain your
ideal lifestyle in that area. Make sure two
are going to be done this week.

Step 7
Get a coach to keep you on track
during this process. Or, enroll a buddy to do
it at the same time as you. Call at least one
person and let them know what you're doing,
and the first two actions that are being done
this week. Ask them if they'd be willing to
check in with you once a week (phone or email)
to see how you're doing.
Step 8
Don't take it too seriously! Remember
to enjoy the process. After all, you're now
playing the best game there is!
Enjoy!
