"If you can think for yourself, while being open-minded in a clearheaded way to find out what is best for you to do, and if you can summon up the courage to do it, you will make the most of your life."
Ray Dalio, Principles: Life and Work
1. Do you ever think that if you could just get out of your own way that you have the capability of being wildly successful?
2. Do you think that it is possible to be a good family man (woman) and a good businesswoman (man)?
3. Do you go into each business day with good intentions on what you want to get done, only to reach the end of a very long day knowing that all you did was put out fires, while neglecting those important items on your to-do list?
4. Have you achieved the financial resources necessary to pursue things that interest you outside of your business. Do you have the freedom of time?
The four key elements of
Personal Prosperity
First, you need to know what you want out of life. It sounds simple, but many of us are so busy living life we can't find the time to plan for what would make it better.
Second, you need a system. If you don't have a system for what you are trying to accomplish, then any success you achieve is not going to be repeatable. Some are able to achieve Big Success in a short period of time, however it is much more likely that Big Success will be the result of numerous small successes, compounded over time.
Third, you need tenacity. Over time there will be ups and downs. Us humans like to think as progress as linear. The real world doesn't work that way. Stubborn attention to your goals is a key ingredient in achieving your goals.
Finally, you need to measure your progress. Improvement occurs when you measure what matters. This will also help you maintain a consistent focus on what your current reality is so the you can effectively plan for progress.
I'm sure a lot of this feels new and uncomfortable for you.
Any decision to change the course of you life carries a certain amount of anxiety.
Some would tell you to calm down and face your fears.
This is a normal human reaction towards taking a journey towards the unknown.
I have some different advice courtesy of world renowned Organizational Psychologist Adam Grant in his book on Audible, Power Moves (Available only to Audible Members.)
He talked about reframing anxiety or fear as excitement. This takes an emotion that is holding you back in the present and redirects it to the future.
If you are having anxiety over choosing this journey. Take his advice, be excited about what you can achieve by shifting your Mindset towards creating a more prosperous future.
You see, if you follow the process of Strategic Prosperity Planning, it is highly likely that it could go well.
If it goes well, it can change your life for the better.
I find this very exciting. Reaching forward towards your potential rather than be paralyzed by your fears in the present.
My name is Rich Gulling, I am a committed life long learner, I like to add action to knowledge to achieve results, and then teach others so they get the same or better results. I have collected many mental models of how businesses and people work. My passion is to translate these models into real life solutions to the challenges that my client's need to overcome to achieve their potential.

"I know that to achieve your full potential, you need to step our of your comfort zone. I know what it is like to venture outside of my comfort zone. Sure, it is uncomfortable, but there is nothing like the feeling you get when you conquer your fears and achieve something special. My goal is to improve the outcome of your journey through life, so that you can achieve the potential that you are meant to have."
The Pareto Principle & Life
Let me introduce you to a mental model that I have applied for many years. I have found it to be useful in many situations.
The model is Pareto's Law, some call it the 80/20 Rule.
A brief description, straight from Wikipedia is as follows:
"The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. ... Pareto developed both concepts in the context of the distribution of income and wealth among the population."
Pareto's Law can also be applied in other contexts. For example:
The key takeaway here is that if you can find the activities that provide you with the most opportunity to build the value of your business, then you should focus on those activities.
If someone else is better positioned to provide the same value that you can at a cost less that what your time is worth, then you should delegate that task to someone else so that you can focus your time on where you provide the most value.
Business owners that can that have the discipline to apply this idea to how they manage their time will be much more likely to build businesses that are more valuable than than most.
How Does It Work?
It All Starts With YOU!
"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."
Lewis Carroll
Most people really haven't taken the time to really get in touch with what they want out of life.
We are programmed by our families, are teachers, and the media that surrounds us to have a societal definition of what success means.
You can fall into a trap.
One that is hard to escape.
The lucky one's among us see the trap early in life and avoid wasting the most precious resource that we have been given.
TIME.
At a fundamental level, everything ties back to time.
How do you want to spend your time?
Now, I am not naive enough to think that you can spend all your time doing whatever you want to do without the need for money.
But, you if you know how you truly desire to spend your time, then the answer to how much money you need to live how you want to live becomes easier.
The circumstances are different for each of us.
If you want to live a simple life in your cabin by the lake it will take a different amount of financial resources than the person who wants to travel around the world and find the finest culinary experiences they can find.
So it all starts with getting in touch with your reality.
What you want to do with the time that you have on this earth.
What current resources do you have to support your dreams.
And, what resources you need to create to achieve the level of prosperity that you desire.
Once you have figured out what you want to do, now you must figure out how much it is going to cost, how much you have, and what it the gap you need to close to get where you want to be.
The High Achiever Package contains many tools to help guide you on your journey.

For $197 per Month, The High Performance Package Includes:
Assessments
The beginning of any improvement plan is a frank assessment of what I like to call Current State. Current State is an objective view of the start of your journey.
Once you have defined where you are the next step is to define where you want to be. I call this Future State. This is what you are working towards.
Next, you need a plan to get there. Our system provides you with an effective project management system so that you can identify the tasks that need to be completed to get from Current State to Future State.
During the process of transforming your business from Current State to Future State, you need a Measurement System to help you determine if progress is being made.
Finally, once you have achieved the higher level of performance that you targeted, you need to make sure that you maintain your progress. We will show you how to use a system of scorecards to keep your efforts on target and give you the ability to describe the incredible progress your business has made.
Then, once you have achieved a higher level of performance, you will recognize that there is more to be accomplished. We will teach you how to lead these efforts and develop leaders within your organization to create a business that is capable of thriving with minimal effort on your part.
