What is a personal wealth binder?

A personal wealth binder is a planning tool that you can use to build your personal wealth creation strategy and plan.  Use the free worksheets from our site, along with your budget, pro-formas, key performance indicators, and other documents you will create while building your personal wealth business plan.

You can learn more about building a personal wealth business plan in an upcoming e-course – learn more here.  The personal wealth binder keeps you organized and on task, with all of your tools organized and ready to be used.  Along with the worksheets, a daily task planner is also an important addition to your binder.

Table of Contents

Using the table of contents to build out the sections of your binder, these fifteen categories will make your binder a complete tool:

1. Personal Mission Statement Worksheet
2. Personal Wealth Strategy Map
3. Income Stream Tactics
4. Income Stream Tasks
5. Personal Wealth Strategy Outline
6. 2020 Monthly Planning Calendar
7. Budgets – Monthly, Yearly, 5 Year, 10 Year
8. Income Projection Pro-Formas
9. Savings & Investment Strategies & Notes
10. Financial Results, Income Statements, Cash Flows, Net Worth
11. After #FI – New Lifestyle Planning
12. Open – Customize for You
13. Ongoing List of Things to Learn & Skills to Acquire
14. Appendix i – Business Info, Accounts, Passwords, etc.
15. Appendix ii – Legal Documents, Wills, Powers of Attorney, etc.

Be sure to nclude a task planner in your binder to keep you on top of deadlines, as well as a calendar. The personal wealth binder can also act as a repository for important documents related to your assets using binder inserts with pockets.

The Case for a Physical Binder

Electronic documents are great, and I recommend keeping all documents on file in electronic format.  Here are some reasons to also keep a physical binder:

• Having a physical binder gives you a visual tool that you don't have to be sitting at a computer to look at.
• Aside from the nostalgia factor, writing by hand forces you to slow down and approach your planning with more mindfulness.
• Research has proven that writing things down by hand makes them easier to retain.
• The physical binder gives you a business plan you can share, be proud of, and creates a sense of assurance that you are on the right track.
• Instead of having 20 different documents, this binder gives you one book with everything in it.  And its almost as portable as a phone.
