What is a lifestyle designer?

What do you mean by “lifestyle designer”? – D’An

I got the term from Tim Ferriss’, author of The Four Hour Workweek. You should definitely buy this book immediately. It WILL change your life.

A lifestyle designer is someone who decides to reject the notion of the deferred life-plan that so many subscribe to. Most people think they should go to school, get a job, work at that job until they retire, and then do whatever they want.

A lifestyle designer chooses to do what they want to do NOW. That’s right, right now. There is no reason to defer your life until you can no longer enjoy it. Why spend your healthiest years working (read: slaving) for someone else? It’s time to take control of your life and do what makes you happy now.

A lifestyle designer is time-wealthy. They may not be “rich” but they have automated some cash flow so that they can have lots of time at their disposal.

A lifestyle designer chooses to live NOW. To be more productive, have more fun, automate more income, and LIVE more.

That’s why I consider myself a lifestyle designer and I strive to be a part of this movement.

If you want to be a lifestyle designer then the first time is think about what you really want. What would you do, daily, if you have $100 million in the bank? Chances are that it’s a lot more doable than you realize. Write down exactly what you want and strive to make that happen in the next 3, 6, or 12 months. Always have a goal, set it HIGH, and stick to it.

I hope that helps you to understand more about lifestyle design. Pick up Tim’s book for more info.
