Here are some of the ideas covered in this episode...

Taking Inventory of Personal Life Assets

• We all need a plan and an assessment of our available resources
• Define "assets" beyond just financial assets
• The full life portfolio reflects our stories, skills, experience (good or bad) and more; not just financial prosperity
• Manage personal life assets carefully like financial assets

The Five Types of Personal Life Assets

Origin Stories and Your Starting Capital

• Childhood and family experiences that shaped who you are
• Powerful reference points to better understand yourself and relate to others

Skills, Education and Continuous Learning

• Practical knowledge and areas of expertise
• Formal education, degrees, certifications
• Continuous learning mindset and potential knowledge

Work, Career and Business Experience

• All jobs and roles throughout life, not just recent
• Primary career accomplishments
• Business ownership experience, even failures

Personal Experience, Milestones and Activities

• Family life experiences
• Health, security, mental wellness
• Hobbies, interests, extracurricular activities
• Major life events

Community and Legacy

• Volunteer work, charitable efforts
• Impact on family, community, world
• Reflecting on how choices shape your legacy

That's a Wrap

• Full life portfolio is the sum of all personal life assets
• Taking inventory allows valuing and managing assets fully
• Growing assets can translate into greater overall wealth
