102: The 7-Step Life Planning Framework I Use Every Year (use this for 2026)

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.
