What Do People Say About the Program?
*Build an Intentional Life was formerly called Intentional Life Design or "ILD"
"ILD is a gift that kept on giving. And thus the worthiest investment. Last night, a whole half year after the course ended, my partner and I had a massive awakening reflecting on a concept I learned in ILD.
ILD isn't just for your journey as a creator. It's for your journey as a human being. It transforms lives, marriages and your whole world, if you let it."
- Malavika Mudit
Writer
"ILD really helped me see where I was spending my time on things that weren't pushing me towards my ultimate goal and therefore not growing my business as fast as I'd like."
- Kelly Anne Smith

"I loved the practical way Corey teaches. So many other courses and training I've done, was like yeah, that's nice, I get it but now what. All the fluff and bullshit left me feeling empty...I've gotten so much clarity about what I want to do and, most importantly, how to get there."

"Too many courses and workshops in the positive psychology field suffer from "toxic positivity."
They always focus on happiness, smiling, and being positive. It's not real, it's fake, and it's toxic.
ILD feels real, authentic, fun, unique, and most importantly: Human."

As Seen In:
Hey, I'm Dr. Corey Wilks
I've coached VC-backed founders, CEOs, 7-figure creators, and bootstrapped entrepreneurs across industries (AI, CPG, tech, media, etc.).
You may have seen me on Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn, Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson, or The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd.
I believe too many people die regretting not having done more with their lives.
Time is our most precious resource—it’s the one thing we can never get more of once it’s gone.
Everything I do is about helping founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs like you reach their potential and make the most of the time they have left.
And I've worked with companies and communities like:
- David Perell's Write of Passage
- Jay Clouse's Creator Science Lab
- Justin Moore's Brand Deal Wizard
- Tim Stoddart's Copyblogger Academy
- Ali Abdaal's Part-Time YouTuber Academy
- Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain Community
I'm also a contributor for Psychology Today, where hundreds of thousands of people around the world have read my content exploring the psychology of human flourishing, fulfillment, and what gets in our way.
I also write a free newsletter, where I explore the psychology of how to succeed in life and business.
I’ve spent the last 16+ years studying psychology and helping people overcome obstacles, reach their potential, and build a fulfilling life and thriving business.
I'd love to help you do the same.

Stop Waiting for "Some Day"
How many times have you sat around daydreaming about having the freedom to control your schedule, make money doing meaningful work that supports your lifestyle, and make the most of the time you have left?
But, for some reason, you keep telling yourself:
- "Someday, I'll start tapping into my potential."
- "Someday, I'll build a business that supports a life where I feel free every single day."
- "Someday, I'll stop procrastinating on taking action toward aligning my life and business with what matters most."
Here's a cold hard fact of life:
One day, you'll be out of "somedays."
This is why my right tattoo sleeve is dedicated to the Stoic concept of memento mori. It means "remember you will die." It's a reminder to make the most of the time we have left and use our mortality as a motivator to live fully.
To turn "someday" into "today."
Right the fuck now, while we still have it.
Because time is our most precious resource. Why spend it doing unfulfilling work?
Two years ago, I left an unfulfilling career and started down the path of being a solopreneur and content creator. I struggled with self-doubt, self-sabotaging behaviors, and had no idea how to make my ideal life a reality at first.
But over time, I developed the clarity, strategy, and accountability to make it happen.
Every single day since has felt like I'm living fully, doing work that gives me the satisfaction I'm making the world a better place, and makes great money that helps me support my lifestyle and support my loved ones.
I don't have long commutes anymore.
I don't wear khakis anymore.
I don't have bullshit meetings with bullshit bosses telling me to bend over backward to obey bullshit bureaucratic rules.
I'm free.
I'm living fully every single day.
The systems within Build an Intentional Life have made it possible for me, and they can make it possible for you, too.
I started using these systems with coaching clients to help them build their own version of a meaningful, purpose-driven life that fulfilled them.
But I ran into a problem: I couldn't have the impact I knew I was capable of having, and helping as many people as I wanted to help, only doing 1:1 coaching.
So I took the best strategies I used to help my 1:1 clients get incredible results and turned them into...
Build an Intentional Life: a 5-step framework designed to help you develop the clarity, strategy, and systems you need to reach your potential and align your life and business with your values, so you can do meaningful, purpose-driven work that fulfills you.
Are you ready to turn "someday" into "today?"
