0. The Ordinary World: Define Your Present
In the first stage of our journey, it's essential to understand where we currently stand. What are our resources? What skills do we possess? What is our vision for ourselves and our families?
1. Call to Adventure: Dream of the Future
Dare to dream, and dream big! What do you want to achieve in the next 11 years? It could be about personal growth, family aspirations, or even community contributions. It's your adventure!
2. Refusal of The Call: Address Your Fears
Every adventure meets with resistance, mostly from within. What might prevent you from achieving your 11-year goals? How can you overcome these barriers?
3. Meeting The Mentor: Seek Wisdom
Find mentors in the form of books, courses, and wise individuals who can guide you in your journey. Learn from them and be open to new insights.
4. Crossing The Threshold: Make Your Plan
Now that you've set a direction, outline the steps to get there. Make sure your plan is actionable, measurable, and flexible. This is your roadmap for the first 11 years.
5. Tests, Allies, Enemies: Expect Challenges
Life will test your resolve. There will be obstacles, allies, and antagonists. Learn to recognize them and be ready to adapt your plan.
6. Approaching The Inner Cave: Expanding Vision
Around the end of the 11-year journey, start to imagine what the next 90 years could look like.
7. The Ordeal: Embrace Adaptation
As you move into the extended plan, there will be significant challenges. Embrace them and adapt.
8. Seize The Reward: Celebrate Milestones
Always celebrate your victories, no matter how small. They provide the momentum needed for the long journey ahead.
9. The Road Back Home: Pass On The Legacy
As your 101-year plan unfolds, remember to pass on the legacy. Teach the next generation about the plan, the journey, and the wisdom acquired along the way.
10. Resurrection, Atonement: Learn and Adjust
With every phase, there will be lessons learned. Use these insights to adjust and enhance your plan.
11. Return with The Elixir: The 1000-Year Vision
