Are you crushing business goals but quietly feeling like life is passing you by? What if the reason success feels heavy isn’t lack of discipline but lack of intentional life planning? And what if planning your life the same way you plan your business could actually give you more peace, clarity, and joy?

Every year, high achievers sit down to plan revenue targets, growth goals, OKRs, and business strategy but almost never stop to intentionally plan their life. 🤯 In this episode, Joey shares the 7-step annual life planning framework he personally uses to make sure success doesn’t cost his health, relationships, or inner peace.

This is not another hustle mindset or productivity hack.

It’s a practical, reflective, and deeply intentional process that blends life planning, mindset work, spirituality, and structure so your life doesn’t get left behind while you build impact 🤓✨.

You’ll learn how to plan your life like a business without burning out, why reflection must come before goal setting, and how to align your daily actions with the person you actually want to become. Joey breaks down why most high performers are great at planning outcomes but terrible at planning experiences and how that disconnect leads to regret, exhaustion, and autopilot living.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

00:00 Why many high achievers plan their business but forget to plan their life

01:30 How to begin life planning with reflection instead of pressure

03:39 Why having a clear life vision matters more than setting goals

05:53 The mindset shift that helps release resistance and limiting beliefs

07:30 A powerful handwriting exercise that reveals what truly matters

12:20 How to use OKRs and quarterly planning for your personal life

15:14 Daily questions that help you stay focused, present, and aligned

18:22 Why putting your life on the calendar changes everything 

This episode is especially for high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and growth-minded individuals who want success and presence. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll enjoy life later, once I hit the goal,” this conversation is your wake-up call 😄.

Planning your life doesn’t limit you, it frees you.

You’re not behind. You’re being invited to live with intention.
