Authentic Wealth is bigger than just financial accumulation – it recognizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. It is created when your resources (the 5 levers – Finances, Mindset, Relationships, Health and Time) are aligned with your values, your vision and are ultimately used to achieve the impact you want to have on yourself, your family, your community and the world.

RELATIONSHIPS
Harvard has conducted the longest in-depth longitudinal study on human life in history.

HEALTH

TIME
In his book Deep Work, Cal Newport offers time management tips to do “deep work”, which he defines as distraction-free concentration where your brain can work at its full potential. Specifically, he recommends setting boundaries around time set aside to do deep work and to create a ritual to support that time (i.e. a dedicated space). He also recommends limiting technology and using a schedule for both work and free-time.
