It is not possible to grow assets without defining the assets that are to be grown.
The narrow view of our household or individual assets as defined by the accountants (mainly physical or material) is inadequate in the life-style context. We have therefore defined a broader range of assets (within our 5 asset classes) that you need to consider, i.e. all the "assets" within the following asset classes;

For example the athletic, musical, academic, linguistic or beauty skills or talents of an individual can definitely be viewed as assets because they can all be used to create income (frequently more than the accountants defined “assets”). These life-style assets need nurturing to grow or develop or to be allowed to be optimally expressed.

These assets are separated into these 5 classes because the methods required to grow the different assets are vastly different, as the differences between the beauty, athletic and musical assets demonstrate.
So the next step in our HomeNet journey is the first "planning" step.
As a HomeNet Member you can open up the Plan-on-a-Page to start setting your goals and planning your actions.

At this point you may wish to go back to the "Life-Style Balance Assessor & Planner" and print out the Comparison Report. This will give you a basis on which to start your plan to match your new life-style balance pattern. Now click here to check to see if you are spending wisely. Just as in early education we try to ensure that children find a balance in their learning, "balance" in the growth of OUR life-style assets is our objective.
