Rediscover a purpose that’s bigger than your career<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purpose, coaching designed for successful men entering retirement, who are asking, “what now?”<\/h2>\n

Alchemy For Life is a unique coaching I designed to map out time, energy and resources in a way that gives an unprecedented view and control of your life. When you are successful and have had a long-standing career that’s coming to an end you suddenly have to switch time energy resources and can feel the panic of finding what you think is a new purpose.<\/p>\n

I see your panic<\/h2>\n

I see and understand the panic that you experience. The last time you walk out of that office can be terrifying. Men have told me about how frightening it is to think it is just coming to an end. There is nothing that they have done for the last 20 or 30 years that prepares them for this. Everything they have done was in service of their particular career. They spend a lifetime building their career and an identity and now that is taken away from them. Sometimes that is taken away early and that can feel like you’ve been blindsided. You want to find meaning after your career.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Arial||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Here is the truth about this<\/h2>\n

My research and experience shows that your purpose isn’t really your job. Your job has been a reflection of your purpose. The Alchemy For Life<\/a>\u2122 system that I created from scratch that I have used successfully with many high achievers, CEOs, and people that have had a fulfilling career, will reveal where this purpose comes from. We can trace back what has been the core directives that give you powerful purpose that you’ve used in this job. These core directives will reveal what else can give you the same sense of purpose. In many cases, it will give you far more purpose, comfort, and security because we traced it back to where it’s really coming from. And that’s amazing.<\/p>\n

Here is the plan.<\/h2>\n

Rediscover your core purpose.<\/h3>\n

My system visually maps out, but you have done, what turns you on, what makes you feel productive and where you get your fun from.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Map your new Mission.<\/h3>\n

Because this is visual, and because we have a built-in goal system, along with a chat system, we will have a shared map in front of us that we can reference. This is a living document that allows us to flex it in the directions that we needed to go. You have never seen your life like this, and it will give you some aha moments.\u00a0 Those moments lead to goals, which leads to you finding even greater more enjoyable purpose. It may actually dwarf how you have felt about your career so far, and I know at this point that might be unimaginable. But it’s true.<\/p>\n

Building.<\/h3>\n

Alchemy For Life is not about having tunnel vision and cheerleading for someone. It’s about looking at a map and looking at your life holistically. We will be building a solid foundational framework that is not temporary. It is a permanent foundation\u2014one that may already be in place\u2014that you will become aware of and can build on top of.<\/p>\n

Working with Mark has improved and helped me in ways I wasn\u2019t even aware I had issues with \u2026. Conversing with mark has a familiar feeling like speaking with a friend\u2026 his style and methods are organized and through\u2026 having communication throughout the week via his site gives me the sense of security that if I have a life \u201cemergency\u201d he\u2019s right there which I\u2019ve had\u2026. He\u2019s the advise(sic) and support I\u2019ve been looking for \u2026 to summarize – if you are ready to make life changes Mark is medium to achieve them<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The first step is easy<\/h2>\n

This isn’t a sales call. It’s a call to see if we are a fit. It’s just as important to me that you are a fit for me as you need to determine that I am a fit for you. The good news is that most people are a fit because of their commitment to wanting this. And who wouldn’t?<\/p>\n

It’s completely no obligation and at the bare minimum it’s a fun chat that can be validating for what you are going through right now.<\/p>\n
