What you’ll learn:
Week 1: Rethinking what it means to be wealthy
True wealth is about more than money – it’s about what brings happiness, security and fulfillment. Yet, how often do we ask ourselves: What kind of wealth do I really want in my life? This week, we set the stage by sharing stories of people who redefined their own wealth – whether by changing careers, pursuing long-held dreams or reshaping their priorities. A worksheet helps you reflect on your own path.
Week 2: How to create a budget you’ll actually follow
For many people, sitting down and creating a budget can be an emotional and stressful task, feeling more like work than reward. This week, learn how different approaches to budgeting can help you take charge of your money and use our worksheet to put together a budget you will actually follow.
Week 3: The wealth of time: Free up more hours to do what you love
Is it possible to buy more time? Perhaps not in the literal sense, but there are ways to use your days more productively, freeing up time for health and wellness, family or personal pursuits. This week, learn how to enrich your life by gaining more time. Try new strategies and tools to boost productivity so you can spend more time doing what you enjoy.
Week 4: Build resilience to weather life’s ups and downs
Serious illness, major home repairs or loss of a job can impact your day-to-day life and future plans. To get through these unexpected life events, you need resilience. A strong financial plan includes risk management strategies and products that activate when challenges arise. This week, we examine what you need to stay resilient, including a worksheet to determine if you are well prepared.
Week 5: Giving strategies: How to create a legacy that reflects your values
Writing cheques to charity is a perfectly fine way to support projects in need. But by giving more strategically, you can make a real impact, express your values and feel more connected to where your money goes. This week, we explore ways to contribute to the causes you value. Plus, a roadmap for giving that can help you be more strategic as you make a difference.
Week 6: Design a life of purpose and fulfillment
When you are fortunate enough to be comfortable financially, you never want to find yourself wondering, “Is that all there is?” This week, we explore how to design a life of personal fulfillment with a big-picture, strategic approach that changes as you do. From changing careers to reconnecting with an old passion, it’s about finding that joy and purpose in life.
