There’s more to wealth than your finances. True wealth also includes things like your health, relationships, and how you spend your time. For Anita Heidema, a rich life means homecooked meals and regular trips to Italy–and she’s built her business around that lifestyle.

Anita is a mindset coach and business strategist for entrepreneurs who want to live successful, powerful, and passionate lives. She is the creator of the RichLifeBiz System and the Getaway to Find Your Way travel program. Anita and her partner Chef Dario Tomaselli co-created the O’Live Your Life lifestyle brand, where they host culinary retreats in Tuscany.

Creating a Business Around Your Lifestyle

Anita and Dario have intentionally created a business that serves their life values. Early in their relationship, they were busy with work–Anita with her business and Dario with his job as a chef. They wanted more time together, to cook and eat with friends, and to live the slower Mediterranean lifestyle that Dario grew up with in Italy.

O’Live Your Life was both a business opportunity and a way for them to live that ideal life. Their retreats combine Dario’s love of cooking with Anita’s mindset coaching to create a transformative experience for their guests. They also offer team-building classes and culinary events. 

When they’re not in Italy, Anita and Dario bring the Mediterranean lifestyle to their North American clients. You don’t need to cross the ocean to relax, enjoy time with friends and family, or cook a healthy meal–you can do those things from anywhere in the world.

What Does Your Rich Life Look Like?

For Anita, having a rich life goes beyond finances. It means feeling wealthy in every area of your life: love, relationships, health, work, and faith. 

In the Mediterranean culture, relationships come first. So for Anita and Dario, living a rich life meant rearranging their businesses to prioritize time together. It means slowing down to appreciate the life and business they’ve created.
