At the Academy of Life Planning, we’ve always believed that financial planning should transcend the mere mechanics of money management. It’s not just about ensuring you have enough to retire comfortably or save for a rainy day. It’s about crafting a life that’s rich in meaning, purpose, and joy—a life that resonates deeply with your personal values and aspirations. This belief is at the heart of our innovative Game Plan approach to lifetime cashflow planning.
Beyond Traditional Planning
Traditional lifetime cashflow planning, while essential, often focuses narrowly on the financial aspects of life. It involves forecasting future cash inflows and outflows to achieve financial goals, such as retirement savings or buying a home. However, this conventional approach can overlook the broader picture of an individual’s life and aspirations.
Introducing The Game Plan
The Game Plan is our visionary response to this limitation. It’s a holistic, values-led, and purpose-driven methodology that integrates financial forecasting with life planning. This approach doesn’t just manage your finances; it aligns them with your deepest values, leveraging your personal productive assets and entrepreneurial opportunities. It’s about identifying what you’re good at, what you love, what the world needs, and what it will pay for.
