About the Academy of Life Planning

The Academy of Life Planning (AoLP) is a global movement — not a money manager, product provider, or advice firm.

Founded in 2012, AoLP exists to redefine financial planning by restoring what the industry too often forgets: people come first, and agency matters.

We don’t sell financial products.

We don’t manage assets.

We don’t earn commissions.

We don’t create dependency.

Instead, we provide the frameworks, tools, education, and professional formation that help people think clearly, choose freely, and plan life before money.

What Makes AoLP Different

Traditional financial services are often built around products, incentives, and delegation.

AoLP is built around restored agency.

We help people:

  • gain clarity about what truly matters

  • understand their lives and finances as a whole

  • make confident decisions without pressure or dependency

  • remain the authority in their own lives — today and over time

 

Our approach is life-first, product-free, and designed to build capability rather than dependency.

What We Do

  • Help individuals become more capable planners of their own lives

  • Train professionals to become Total Wealth Planners — agency-restoration advocates and facilitators

  • Provide practical planning frameworks such as the GAME Plan™

  • Support planning that integrates money, work, wellbeing, purpose, and decision-making capability

We don’t manage your money.
We help you restore the clarity and capability to make your own decisions.

A Global Community

The Academy is home to a growing international network of Total Wealth Planners — all committed to helping people think clearly, plan wisely, and build lives with meaning.

Together, we’re building a future where financial planning restores agency rather than creating dependency.

“AoLP changed how I thought about money and life. For the first time, I felt more in control of my decisions and my future. No sales — just clarity.”
— Emma, London
