Project your life subtitle: 7 skills to succeed in life by improving together your self, family and business

Project Your Life adapts project management knowledge into a model for self-development that, once followed, drives a person to success by accomplishing his life goals in the 3 main areas of his / her life. It also defines the journey required for the person to become a Project Lifer. Project Your Life adapts professional Project Management tools and techniques into the specific structure that life goals require, I named it “defining life projects”, and management skills that the person require for managing those life projects successfully, becoming what I named “project lifer”.

With Project Your Life, you can achieve your most important goal by only using up 1 hour a day. I called it “My happy hour routine”. But the magical transformation happens when you use more of those “happy hours”, then you can achieve the desired “triple win”: getting self-fulfillment, improving family time and progressing in your business career.

 “If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” – Jim Rohn

The statistics shows that only 8% of people achieve their yearly resolutions. On the other side, organizations with high maturity of Project Management processes and qualified Project Managers, succeed in 67% of their projects. Therefore, if your Project your life and start using the “GROW POSITIVE” method that I developed, based on the knowledge of professional Project Management, then you increase your chance to succeed by more than 7 times.

The problem of the 92% of resolutions and goals that fail is because they are not properly set. It is not only a matter of setting goals by making them S.M.A.R.T. . This is just one skill, that applied alone does not guarantee you success. To achieve your life goals, you need a broader method that set them into the format of a “life project” and you need also to apply the 7 skills to manage those life projects and overthrow the 7 enemies that comes on the way.

I hope that now, you can understand that if you have defined goals, but you didn’t reach them, it was not your fault. It was not because you were not good enough. It was simply because you didn’t use together the 7 skills of GROW POSITIVE method. The method GROW POSITIVE is a new way of achieving life goals based on my experience as professional Project Manager and self-development enthusiastic. It’s all about, literally, to Project Your Life. I realized that my purpose in life is to help people in achieving their life dreams by providing the method that can elevate the humanity from the low 8% up to the 67% of life fulfilment. That’s why I wrote this book.

The problem of not achieving life fulfilment is that the school system didn’t prepare us for finding our purpose in life and providing us the management skills to develop it in something important for us and good for the others. When in school did you have a class about “discovering your purpose”, “developing management skills” or “entrepreneurship”? To make it more difficult, there are many nay-sayers that proclaim, “you will not make it”, “you are not good enough”, “don’t hurt yourself”, “don’t take risks”, “don’t be different”, “do the same as others are doing”. Those nay-sayers bring us fear to follow what we love, making us give up from our vision and true mission in life. Would a company without a vision and mission be successful in the market? Then how are we able as individuals to succeed without our own vision and mission? To make it even more difficult, we live in a world of easy distraction and procrastination. It’s time to change this.

Now is the right time to project your life. There is still time this year to act and increase the probability to achieve your yearly resolutions and goals. By reading the book and applying the knowledge into skills, you will notice immediately the power that it unleashes. You will be more motivated, energized and feeling that you start to get control in several aspects of your life.

As I said, only 8% of us achieve their yearly resolutions, but if you set life projects instead, then you climb up to 67% and this will make a huge difference in your life. In 2021, I started to project my life and I achieved my 3 life projects and my life improved considerably. As an example, I was able to write this book draft in 7 months, only by putting the effort of 1 hour a day. In the same year, I was able to take part of my company talent career program. Project Your Life is a life game-changer.  But, the difficult part, is that all new habits require a daily commitment with yourself. All project managers work daily in their projects to keep them on the success track. You need to do the same with your life projects, it only works with daily motivation, discipline and strong execution. Therefore, to make it easy, I developed a Project Your Life “planner” and “journal” to keep the focus on the daily activities.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish”. – The Little Prince

The  author of Little Prince once said “A goal without a plan is just a wish”. And who knows more about planning? Who has that role as a professional? The project manager. Professional Project Managers and organizations that use Project Management processes, achieves up to 67% of the project objectives. 7 times MORE! Of course, Project Management tools and techniques needs to be adapted to life projects. This is described in “Project Your Life” and it 7 levels of “GROW” – Goals + Routine + Others + Wow – and “POSITIVE” – Plan Out + Skills In + Track & Improve – method. You might have noticed that V.E. is missing. This is the secret Level and ultimate skill, that will make you always succeed, in all your life projects. This is for real; it is possible to succeed in all the life projects that you set.

There are 2 types of people:

1. Those who only dream about achieving their life goals without ever taking any action to make it happen and
2. those who are ready to act when the opportunity presents itself.

Most people will tell you they want to achieve a better life, to be successful but you know that less than 10% will achieve it. Most people will keep dreaming…while the few who are serious about their life goals will take action.

Since you have read here this far, I think you are the one that is ready to act, therefore, to know more about how to “Project Your Life”, join me on the “book launch party” event on 15th April at 17h GWT (Option1) or 18th April at 7h30 GWT (Option2).

Only you can decide the future of your life…
