Design Your Perfect Lifestyle
I'll be very upfront: I want to help you design your perfect lifestyle.
Naturally, this includes doing what you want to do for work (whilst making all the money you want to), spending your time doing whatever you want to do, becoming the sort of person you want to be, and having a whole lot of fun along the way. It's all about uncovering your passion and finding a way to make your living doing what you love. It's about being deliriously happy because your life is unfolding exactly as you choose it to.
If you design your perfect lifestyle, you'll be happier, more fulfilled, and will help many more people. It's the ultimate win / win.
So what qualifies me to talk about this? Well, at the tender age of 25 I have quit the rat race to work for myself, and I already earn enough money not to have to worry about it. I live in a dream bachelor pad in London, and am buying a one way ticket around the world in September 2010 with my best mate to tour the globe. I'm not sure if / when I'll come back! Additionally, I'm happy, work when I want to work, have all the toys and clothes I could ever need, and I haven't traded my soul for any of it. I'm training to be an NLP trainer in my free time too. This to me is my dream life – full of freedom, fun, passion and abundance. It may not be your cup of tea, but it's certainly mine, and I am gloriously happy for it!
Best of all, I've done nothing spectacular – I've just had the balls to take risks and give my dream life a go. This kind of lifestyle (or whatever you want instead) is totally within your reach too. All you need to do is believe in yourself and give it a go. Fortune favours the brave!

Let's get started with helping you to design your perfect lifestyle.
Work out what you want!
Right, the first thing you need to do before you design your perfect lifestyle is work out what you REALLY want from life – which is not that easy to do.
It took me years of searching before I realised that what I am passionate about is empowering people to rebel against authority and succeed on their own terms.
All I'd say is that whatever you love doing, whatever you do in your free time, whatever you read about most, whatever keeps you up at night... is probably a good place to start. These articles will help you to define what a dream life is to you, and then put a plan in place to get it. Designing your perfect lifestyle begins here.
Why is Goal Setting Important?
Work out your Personal Values.
How to Set Goals that GRIP you!
Quick Goal Setting Activity.
Once you've read these, get yourself a free copy of my
25 Page Goal Setting and Values Workbook.
This guide will help you to note down answers to some pretty deep questions about your purpose, and what you want to achieve in your life. Print it out, scribble in it, and refer to it regularly whilst you design your perfect lifestyle.
Decide how much money you want to earn.
Well, money makes the world go round, and whilst it's far from being my biggest motivator, it's important to at least have some of it!
Use this powerful auto-suggestion technique (borrowed from Think and Grow Rich) to install a financial target in your unconscious mind. You'd be surprised at just how powerful this can be whilst you design your dream life.
Get a Pay Rise.
If you work for somebody else, odds are they are underpaying you (they all do!) So, how do you get a payrise in a “recession”?
Well, follow this detailed guide and you'll have the best possible chance. I got 4 pay rises in my last two years of employment by using the same techniques. It takes a bit of work and preparation, but if more money is your aim, this is a great place to start. Additionally, you want to be earning as much money as possible whilst you design your dream life, so you can escape to paradise as soon as possible!
That's it for now. Hopefully these articles will give you the help you need to start designing your dream life. More articles on actually making the dreams a reality are coming soon, so in the meantime make sure that you have clear and vivid goals to reach for.
Lifestyle design really is the only way for Generation Y to feel happy and fulfilled. Commit to working out what you truly want, and then go and find a way to make it happen! If you believe in yourself, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
