Free Live Workshop · Any Time of Year

What's the one thing
that makes this year
count?

A 2-hour live guided workshop. Pen and paper. No recording. Walk out with a plan — not a list of resolutions that collapse by February.

Strip away sleep, work, and screens — you have ~20 months left to actually live.

Reflect

What actually happened

Single tree standing alone on barren hilltop, black and white, stark minimalist landscape, deep shadows

Project

On purpose, not by default

Person walking on empty road toward distant mountains, overcast sky, muted tones, cinematic wide shot

Act

Make it real

"Normal is broken. Easy choices make a hard life; hard choices make an easy life."

The Life Ledger

Your life in numbers.
The maths will change how you see Monday.

600 months · Each dot = 1 month of your remaining life (age 40–90)

Green dots = your ~20 months of actual freedom. The rest? Spoken for.

This is different

Not a resolution. An annual life review.

The One Thing, One Year workshop runs live — no recording. Pen and paper, because there's real science behind that. You leave with one thing, not a wishlist.

"By 40, 80% of your memorable moments are already behind you. By the time your child is 12, you've spent 75% of the time you'll ever spend with them."

What you walk out with

Six things you'll build in two hours.

Not a list of intentions. Actual plans, scheduled in your calendar, with the one thing as the anchor.

Your Misogi Moment

1 scary challenge per year

Pre-book something that terrifies you. Ironman. TEDx. Stand-up. A book. "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." Pay for it today.

2 New Habits

One per half-year, not all at once

66 days to embed a habit. One must create a physical state change. Stack them — not all at once, or none will stick.

3 Mini Adventures

One every ~4 months

Novelty + awe + perspective. Bring someone along. Scheduled adventures create the memories that make a year feel full.

Weekly KLIs

Key Life Indicators

Small recurring moments — sunset with dad, burger with your daughter, weekly hike. Borrowed from Bhutan's Gross National Happiness. Schedule them. "We treasure what we measure."

Your Purpose Candle

Light a candle, not the grid

Lower the stakes. Mentor one person 2 hrs/month beats waiting for a cosmic calling. "Purpose isn't found, it's felt." Your anchor word for the year.

Future Self Statement

Written in a hospital bed. Achieved.

Present-tense description of your ideal day. Read it daily. Richard wrote his when he was ill — and later realised he'd achieved every line of it.

Real voices · January 2026 Workshop

What happened when people looked at the dots.

"
I'm taking away more clarity — and even more excitement for what's ahead. This was really helpful.
JaniceJan 2026
"
Finding the space to reflect and review is massively important, and so hard in a busy life. My word for the year was "uncouple and shine" — uncoupling from what isn't a hell-yes, and finding the space to shine.
OliverJan 2026
"
I went around the houses and came back to it: the focus has to be on my health. When I feel good, everything is possible.
BellJan 2026
"
I thought I had my one thing, then something else came up and hit me right in the heart. My husband is elderly; I looked at those dots and thought we have to get moving. And the social-media time? That stops today.
ToluJan 2026
"
What I loved most was working out what to do less of — doubling down on a few things instead of juggling every ball.
LenaJan 2026
"
Purpose isn't found, it's felt.
BastianJan 2026
"I love the idea of an attempt or a partial success — because that's still moving me forward."

— Robert · January 2026 Workshop

"The biggest thing for me is the realisation about removing things rather than adding."

Co-founder · Sovereign Soul Network

Spreadsheets, TEDx, and a vagabond soul. Dani brings the data rigour and the communications craft — the person who turns your vague sense of "something has to change" into a plan that holds.
