The 13 Immutable Must Know and Do’s Necessary in Creating a 1Life Fully Lived
Written by Tim Rhode
Throughout my life I’ve come to learn some important lessons and I’ve made it my mission in this third quarter of my life to share that wisdom with as many people as possible. That sharing might look like this, a blog post. It might look like hosting a retreat, speaking on a podcast, or coaching a fellow entrepreneur. No matter it’s form, I am working to help others dream, materialize and live their most magnificent life. I’m so glad you’ve tuned in and I hope you’ll continue to journey with me.
With that, I’ll leave you with my personal 13 Immutable Musts Know and Do’s
1. I know if it is to be it’s up to me!
2. I am healthy in my mind, body, and spirit.
3. I know my WHY! I am focused on mindfully evolving into my true, best, and highest purposeful life.
4. I always look for win-wins in all my dealings with others.
5. I hold up my end and more.
6. I live well within my means, know how money works, and invest wisely towards my magnificent future.
7. I care deeply about my life, my family, my community, my country, the world, and the universe.
8. I don’t take myself too seriously.
9. I know it’s alright to live itty bitty and do not buy a lot of crap I don’t need.
10. I know non-income producing or irrelevant learning-debt sucks and I avoid it like the plague.
11. I am a vibrant contributing part of multiple successful teams. I exist in a high vibration ecosystem where caring about one’s life and helping others awaken and strive for more is the norm.
12. I know the true gift in life is getting outside myself and giving back to humanity in some form.
13. I know, like in nature, my purpose is to find where I fit and thrive. I continuously learn, grow, and connect with others. I spend time going in and out of nature to discover where my highest and best self can be found, savored and revered.
All my best,
Tim Rhode

About the Author
Tim would tell you that he got off to a slow start. After growing up in the rural town of Portola in Northern Califo
ia and barely graduating high school, Tim Rhode found himself at the age of 25 working as a grocery clerk with two young children to provide for.
He eventually found his “niche” selling real estate; and from 1986 to 2000, he sold over 2,500 homes and from 1997 to 2006 he invested in over 100 properties. Tim focused on saving money, keeping his expenses low, and playing solid “financial defense” which allowed him to basically retire, and he was financially free at the age of 40.
Not wanting to play hike, bike or ski all day, Tim threw his energy into his true passion: helping people thrive and live their most fulfilling life. He founded the nonprofit 1Life Fully Lived to help people of all ages gain the tools and skills they need to thrive and also co-founded GoBundance, a high-level mastermind, with David Osborn, Pat Hiban and Mike McCarthy to help healthy, wealthy, generous people lead epic lives. We have a women’s tribe now!
Tim has also authored numerous books and has been featured on a variety of podcasts and media outlets. He now lives near his children in the High Sierras with his wife and dog.

Why Some Buildings Just Feel Safer—And What’s Behind It
Sometimes, it’s not what you see, but what you feel. Ever notice how some buildings just feel solid? No creeping unease. No instinct telling you to check for the nearest exit. Just a quiet, unshakable sense that you’re in a place built to protect. That feeling isn’t random. It’s the result of smart choices—ones made long before anyone steps inside. The materials, the design, the way everything is built to handle the unexpected, even factors like fire ratings that determine
