The Human Element

What things do you do to hack your life together so you can be emotionally wealthy? I had a great conversation with someone today about how they bring in other services into their life so that they can grow their emotional wealth and financial wealth concurrently. They have become self aware to know what really matters in their life. So as a CEO & mother of 3 with a very supportive and also working husband, they spend their money in different ways than other families. They hired an au pair for the baby. They have a night sitter on a regular basis. They have pre-made meals delivered home, if she is out of town. She also leaves time for herself and the kids on a regular basis and may even not take on extra clients if it will take away from the home life. They also spend money to travel together and spend time as a family. They don't spend money on the latest things (cars, houses etc). It is about experiences and a lifestyle that works for them. When I was in corporate I used to live in a Penthouse in Downtown Dallas (that cost less than my 1 bedroom apartment previously in San Francisco). Every one would think I had it made and I did. It was my biggest cost but it gave me so much joy to wake up and be in a very open apartment with large windows over the city. I also didn't spend money on a car and used public transportation and eventually Uber when it came out to Dallas. I spent my money on experiences with friends (life family), travel for interesting conferences and investing in development growth for myself. I hacked my spending the way I wanted to based on my inner core. What things do you do to hack your life together so you can be emotionally wealthy?

What are the hurdles you are facing in hiring a life guide in your life? The most successful people (financially and emotionally wealthy) in this world have a support system. This can be made up in different ways. For some it is have a "life board of directors", "life family", "friends and family" etc. We all need a support system to flourish in this world - no matter how we define it. I have 32 "units" in my life family that play different roles as I move through my life journey that includes supporting me emotionally, mentally, spiritually, professionally, personally, physically & financially (rarely). They are my family and I am driven to earn money to be with them and have experiences and memories in my life journey. They are in many ways different types of life guides for me. I have been lucky to build this group of folks so that I no longer need to go and hire a coach. However, not everyone has a group of people in their life that is non-judgmental and a safe environment to talk about your deepest thoughts. A life guide is a sounding board that is empathetic to you but looks at the rational, logical side of making decisions in your life taking into consideration your true core and emotions. They are able to have discussions that you would not have with others in your life in fear of messing up relationships. A good life guide will start the process through getting to know your core and then working on each item in your life one by one. Their long term goal is to give you the ability to work through the challenges in your life in the future without needing to lean on an outside person.
