Portfolio life was a term coined by
the business guru Charles Handy
in his book
The Age of Unreason
in 1989.
Mr Handy explained the concept as "a portfolio of activities -
some we do for money, some for interest, some for pleasure, some for a
cause...
the different bits fit together to form a balanced whole greater than
the parts".
this quote is from the article,

"Being unlimited is about having a role which suits your talents best,
rather than somebody's else's job spec."

Planning for the future sounds like a large task, one that needs
lawyers and support services and family. It doesn't need to be that
difficult.
All planning begins with the desire for change and security. Here, we
want our lives to be different, to choose our future, and to develop a
plan. Change begins by dreaming about what we want for ourselves. This
stirs our imagination to think about the possibilities. Possibilities
lead to goals, then to action and decision and finally, living your
plan.
