Lead Your Life membership
You don’t just manage time. You lead your life.
For 40 years the Franklin Planner has helped more than 15 million people organize what matters. The Lead Your Life membership is the companion to it: monthly frameworks, podcast extras, live events, and a community, so the plan on the page becomes the life you actually live. Planner user or not, it’s for anyone who wants to lead their life on purpose.
Less than the price of a movie ticket a month. Founding members get additional extras.

What’s included.
Everything builds on the same timeless principles as the planner. Think of it as the hub of your priorities, a life operating system.
Monthly guidance and planning frameworks
A fresh framework each month built on the Franklin system: the time management matrix, the productivity pyramid, mission and values work you can apply that week.
Podcast extras and exclusive training
Behind-the-scenes conversations, resources guests don't share on air, and training that walks you through the planner at a deeper level.
A live event every month
Fireside chats and round tables with people from the show: Stephen M.R. Covey, Olympic medalist Noelle Pikus Pace, Millionaire Next Door author William Danko, and more.
Member-only offers and early access
Discounts, early access to new and exclusive products, and partner benefits reserved for members.
A private community
A members-only group for accountability, questions, and learning from other people who lead their lives with intention.
The magazine, downloads, and archive
The Lead Your Life digital magazine, digital downloads, Franklin 5 checklists, and the Franklin archive.
Membership + planner
The system on paper, the support around it.
Writing by hand activates broader neural networks and slows you down enough to do deeper work. That’s the planner. The membership adds what a tool can’t: mindset, community, current thinking on applying timeless principles in a distracted world, and the accountability to stay consistent. Together they compound.
Already have a planner? The membership is designed to multiply its value. New to the system? Start with both.
Who it’s for.
Leaders, professionals, and people who have retired and are busier than ever. In John Harding’s words: anyone and everyone who wants to create their best life and lead it. You don’t need a planner or to have been a customer.
Busy but unfulfilled
You get a lot done and still feel like the important things wait.
Organized but not aligned
Your calendar is full; your mission, vision, and values aren't driving it.
Consuming but not applying
Books, podcasts, resolutions. What's missing is the structure and support to execute.
Looking for your people
You want to connect with others who plan on purpose and want to succeed.
Start here
Revisit your mission. Then build the week around it.
John’s invitation from the announcement episode: write down who matters to you, what matters to you, and the goals you want to reach. Then connect the membership and the planner to that. There is nothing more motivating than deciding what you value and succeeding at it.
