We have only 5 weeks left this year. And it feels like we’re hitting goal setting season.

The company work for is currently working on setting their targets for next year. There all these great business tools out there to structure this process: defining corporate identity, market positioning and bringing structure to business goals. . And I am doing the same thing now for the HigHER Vibe Hive.

And it inspired me: why not use these business frameworks and apply them to our personal lives? So I’m putting my International Business Administration degree into practice, and show you over the next 8 weeks, how we can apply corporate ideas and goal setting strategies for your best year yet. 

The HigHER Self CEO is a framework that combines the clarity of business strategy with the heart of personal development. It’s for anyone who wants to stop floating through life reactively and start running themselves with intention, insight, and alignment.

The idea: just as a CEO runs a company, you can run your life. You can audit your current identity, analyse your resources, focus on what really matters, and build a system that helps you thrive rather than just survive. Each tool in this method will help you answer key questions like:

• Who am I right now, and who do I want to become?

• What are my unique strengths, and where am I wasting energy?

• How do I make decisions that move me forward instead of keeping me stuck?

• How do I structure my life so my goals, habits, and environment work with me, not against me?

We will be covering the “classics”:

• SWOT Analysis
• Porter’s Diamond
• MoSCoW
• Opportunity Costs
• The Pareto Principle
• 4 D’s
• OGSM

If you’ve never heard about them, don’t worry. I will explain each one of them in their own article and show you how these can be applied to your life to create your own HigHER Self CEO. 

In the end we will bring this all together into an OGSM to leave you with the ultimate identity building and goal setting plan which you can use over and over again. 

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about being intentional and structured. It’s about designing your life with the same rigour and insight you’d give to a billion-dollar company, while also acknowledging you’re a human being who can’t do it all at the same time.

Running a company is one thing. Running yourself? That’s the real growth story. And I’m inviting you to start this journey with me. So stay tuned and we’ll dive into the SWOT Analysis next week.
