Personal Manifesto Course: Design Your Life

Design Your Personal Manifesto: is a compact, high-impact course that blends philosophy, psychology, and cutting-edge productivity science to help you craft a living blueprint for a purposeful life.

Through concise, studio-quality videos, you’ll explore timeless ideas—from Aristotle’s Arete and Stoic virtue ethics to Viktor Frankl’s search for meaning, Stephen Covey’s “Begin with the End in Mind,” Cal Newport’s deep-work discipline, and Brian Moran’s 12-Week Year execution model. Each lesson distills these principles into clear, actionable steps, so you move seamlessly from reflection to tangible results.

The curriculum walks you through six cornerstone modules:

  1. Mission Statement—distill your “why” into a single, magnetic sentence.

  2. Vision Mapping—paint a vivid five-year future and an ideal day snapshot.

  3. Core Values & Virtues—apply the Golden Mean to anchor unshakable principles.

  4. Roles & Arete Goals—define every hat you wear and the excellence each demands.

  5. Light vs. Dark Energy—clarify choices that fuel or drain your potential.

  6. Yearly Theme & 12-Week Sprints—convert big aspirations into weekly wins.

Every module pairs its video deep dive with downloadable worksheets and reflection prompts, ensuring you finish each section with concrete outputs—not just theory. By course end you’ll hold a customized, aesthetically formatted Personal Manifesto (digital or printable) ready for daily or weekly review, plus a 90-day action plan that keeps your mission front-and-center.

Enroll today and trade loose goals for clear focus. You’ll leave with a framework that sharpens decisions, increases productivity, and rekindles joy and purpose—so clarity isn’t a dream but a lived reality, guiding every project, relationship, and opportunity you touch.

Craft the Blueprint for a Life on Purpose

Still drifting through “default mode”?

If your goals live in random notebooks…if your calendar is stuffed yet nothing feels meaningful…if you know you have more potential but can’t see the road map—this course is for you.

Why most high-achievers stall

  • Loose, fuzzy goals → zero daily direction

  • Competing roles (parent, partner, professional) → chronic overwhelm

  • Endless “productivity hacks” → busywork, not progress

  • No single document tying mission, vision, values, and execution together

The solution: A living Personal Manifesto

What you’ll learn

Crystal-Clear Purpose & Direction
  • By distilling your mission, vision, and core values into a single living document, you'll gain unwavering clarity about why you're here and where you're headed. This sharp focus cuts through overwhelm, simplifies decision-making, and aligns every project--personal or professional--with what matters most, so you move forward with confidence instead of second-guessing.

Actionable Roadmap for Rapid Progress
Sustainable Motivation & Mindset Mastery
  • The course converts big aspirations into a practical system: yearly themes, 12-week sprints, and weekly wins. You’ll leave with a customized action plan that marries Stoic Arete, Covey’s “end in mind,” and modern agile tactics, ensuring steady momentum rather than stalled resolutions. Expect measurable results—whether that’s launching a side business, deepening relationships, or leveling up health—within the first three months.

  • Describe your lesson with a short suExploring “light energy” vs. “dark energy” helps you recognize habits that fuel your growth and those that sabotage it. Coupled with proven psychological tools (CBT reframes, deep-work rituals, and gratitude prompts), you’ll build a resilient mindset that keeps motivation high, buffers stress, and rekindles everyday joy—transforming productivity from a grind into a fulfilling flow state.

Course FAQ

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • No. All worksheets are provided in PDF, Word, and Google-Docs formats. Optional demos show OmniOutliner, Obsidian, and Canva, but a simple notebook works just as well.

  • The templates include guided prompts, examples, and AI-ready text boxes. You’ll answer bite-size questions; the course helps you polish them into a clear, one-sentence mission, vivid vision, and values list.

  • We fuse philosophy (Stoic virtue, Aristotle’s Arete), psychology (CBT, Frankl’s meaning), and productivity science (Covey, Deep Work, 12-Week Year). You don’t just set goals—you build an integrated framework that ties daily actions to your deepest “why.”
