The Academy of Life Planning: A New Paradigm for Wealth and Wellbeing

At the Academy of Life Planning (AoLP), we start with a powerful, people-first premise: 90% of people, 90% of the time, can manage their own wealth and wellbeing — if they have the right support. Our mission is to provide that support in an empowering, ethical, and accessible way. We believe that true wealth is holistic. It goes beyond money, encompassing emotional fulfilment, intellectual growth, spiritual abundance, and personal purpose.

When life is stable, people flourish with community-based support, tools, and education. But when faced with major change or stress — redundancy, bereavement, divorce, mid-life crisis, victimisation by financial crime, retirement, and more — they need one-to-one support from a trusted professional. That’s where we come in.

Our Approach: Empowerment Through the GAME Plan Framework

We guide individuals using a structured, transformative process known as the GAME Plan — a four-phase model rooted in ancient wisdom and practical action:

• Goals: Discover core values, unique talents, and life purpose. Identify a compelling vision for the future — a “favourite future” — typically three years ahead.
• Actions: Develop daily habits, behavioural shifts, and actionable steps to overcome obstacles and align with your vision.
• Means: Architect the financial and human capital required to support the life plan, not the other way around.
• Execution: Receive ongoing support from a mentor or coach who walks beside you until you arrive at your empowered future — after which you are self-sufficient once more.

Our Services: Designed Around the Needs of Real People

We structure our offerings around three levels of support:

1. Done-By-You (DBY) – Self-Directed Empowerment

For individuals in stable circumstances seeking growth, clarity, or structure:

• Subscription-based access to tools, resources, and community support.
• Designed for individuals who want to be their own life and wealth planner.
• Affordable and scalable, with guided templates and tutorials.

2. Done-With-You (DWY) – Guided Masterclasses

For those navigating change or stress in life:

• Group-based programmes in cohort-style masterclasses.
• Themes may include: escaping the rat race, life recovery after financial crime, transitioning from unemployment, rebuilding after bereavement, or starting a new chapter post-divorce.
• Facilitated by trained Holistic Wealth Planners (HWPs), providing structure, accountability, and peer connection.

3. Done-For-You (DFY) – One-to-One Mentorship

For individuals needing deep, personal, tailored support:

• Intensive one-to-one coaching with an accredited HWP.
• A bespoke intervention to overcome specific obstacles and reach a favourite future.
• Life-changing support for moments like:
  • Redundancy
  • Serious illness
  • Starting a new family
  • Graduation
  • Returning to civilian life after military service
  • Rehabilitation from disability or prison
  • Retirement with insufficient savings
  • Long-term unemployment
  • Becoming economically active again

We are constantly adding new areas of focus to meet unmet needs in society.

The Bigger Picture: A Global Movement – M-POWER

What we do at the Academy is not just a service — it’s a movement. The M-POWER movement is about creating a new world of financial planning that restores power to people, enabling freedom, autonomy, and dignity.

Our holistic model redefines wealth, rehumanises planning, and puts life first. This is more than a business. It is a mission to reduce poverty, restore wellbeing, and create thriving communities. And we are just getting started.

Final Word: A Call to Action

Whether you’re navigating a life event or looking to change the lives of others,…

… the Academy of Life Planning is here for you. We are on your side. Join us — as a client, a planner, or a partner — and be part of this new paradigm for holistic wealth and wellbeing.
