Since the mission of this newsletter is to help you define, \rcarve out, and live your own Ultimate Lifestyle, I figured I \rshould devote some space to laying a proper foundation for \rdoing that.

Before you can hit a target, you need to know where it is! \rSo, to begin, let's answer the question:

What is The Ultimate Lifestyle?

First of all, it's different for different people. There are \rno rules or formulas. For some people, it means a lot of \rmoney, lots of "stuff," a fast-paced and "jet-set" sort of \rlifestyle. For others, it means a very simple, slow-paced \rlife that focuses on service to others. And for others, it's \revery possible scenario in between these two "extremes."

There's no right or wrong lifestyle, or good or bad \rlifestyle.

There's just what works for you -- and it will likely change \rover time. I know it has for me.

No matter how you end up defining Ultimate Lifestyle for \ryourself, now and in the future, there are 8 components that \rmust be considered:

1) Income Streams

To live your Ultimate Lifestyle, you must have income \rstreams flowing that allow you to pay your bills and finance \rall the "extras" you prefer. To me, the ultimate target to \rshoot for in this arena is to have income streams flowing \rwhether you "show up" for "work" or not, so you can choose \rwhat you want to show up for (even if it continues to be \rwhat you call "work" or a "job.").

That's what I've been able to achieve by applying my \rInvisible Path/11th Element strategies combined with direct \rmarketing on and off the Internet.

Having income streams flowing whether you show up or now \rseems like "pie in the sky" to many people, but it's \ractually very attainable in today's world. You'll learn more \rabout how to do it in future issues.

2) Emotions and Beliefs

Many people fail to create their Ultimate Lifestyle because \rthey have emotional blocks, issues, or beliefs (what I call \r"p.s's." or "master biography files") that hold them back. \rOther people have produced extraordinary results and could \rlive their Ultimate Lifestyle, but their blocks, issues or \rbeliefs prevent them from doing it -- or fully enjoying it.

Therefore, living The Ultimate Lifestyle must include having \raccess to resources and inner skills that allow you to \runcover and remove, heal, or release any blocks, issues or \rbeliefs that hold you back. You'll learn more about how to \rdo that in future issues.

3) Fulfillment and Satisfaction

Whether you have a 9-5 job and career, you're a full-time \rmom, or whatever you do with your time, a big part of living \rThe Ultimate Lifestyle means getting as much fulfillment and \rsatisfaction from what you spend your time on as possible.

Many people don't ask for this, don't focus on this, and \rtherefore don't get it. You must make it part of your \rintention and focus!

4) Living Environment

How and where do you want to live? In the mountains? In the \rbig city? On the water? Multiple homes? Do you want to live \rin a big home or a small home? Is privacy or seeing \rbeautiful scenery out your windows important to you? Do you \rlike modern furnishings, antiques, or an eclectic mix? \rLiving the Ultimate Lifestyle means asking these questions \rand having a home base that nourishes you at a very deep \rlevel. My family recently moved to Charlottesville, Virginia \rin pursuit of the nourishing living environment we craved --\rand we got it, even better than we expected!

5) Relationships

What good is having income streams, a healthy emotional \rlife, empowering belief systems, a great living environment, \rand a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from how you \rspend you time if you're alone (and don't want to be) or \ryour relationships with significant others (parents, \rsiblings, kids, associates, etc.) are a mess? Believe me, I \rknow about this one from long personal experience (before \rmeeting my wife, Cecily).

Therefore, living The Ultimate Lifestyle must include having \raccess to resources and inner skills that allow you to \rattract, build, and maintain healthy relationships.

6) Health

Again, what good is having income streams, a healthy \remotional life, empowering belief systems, a great living \renvironment, fulfillment and satisfaction, and great \rrelationships if you have health problems that drag your \rquality of life into the gutter?

Dr. Robert Lindberg says, "We spend most of our life gaining \rwealth and we then spend most of our wealth on gaining back \rour health."

Living The Ultimate Lifestyle means having access to \rknowledge, resources, and skills that allow you to get \rhealthy, stay healthy, and quickly resolve difficulties if \rand when they arise. I discussed some of the resources I use \rfor this in previous issues, and will continue to share them \rin future issues,

7) Time

You can have income streams, a healthy emotional life, \rempowering belief systems, a great living environment, \rfulfillment and satisfaction, great relationships and health \rand if you don't have any time to do what you love, to \rfollow your non-work passions, or to truly enjoy anything, \rwhat's the point? I know many people who could absolutely be \rliving their Ultimate Lifestyle, but they choose to work too \rmuch, to the detriment of their quality of life. That's too \rbad -- to have the choice and ability and not do it.

8) Wealth Building, Management, and Responsibility

The final component to living The Ultimate Lifestyle is \rhaving systems in place that allow you to use your income \rstreams to create wealth (as you define it), manage it, grow \rit, protect it, structure your financial and business \raffairs for maximum efficiency and personal benefit, and \rfind ways of contributing and giving back (if that's \rimportant to you, which it is to me and my wife).

I'll be writing a follow up article, called "The fuel that drives the Ultimate Lifestyle" shortly.
