Bill Zujewski—better known as Bill Z—is the founder of Good Life LLC, creator of the Life by Design system, the ZenScore app, and the Good Life platform. After a long and successful career in enterprise software with companies like Oracle and Tulip, Bill co-founded the Green Business Bureau, which was successfully acquired in 2023. He’s now the author of What’s Your Life Score?, a book and system designed to help people bring intentionality and balance into their everyday lives.
Bill’s journey toward intentional living began while still in the corporate world. After years of climbing the ladder and working with high-tech startups, he experienced a shift: he wanted to do something that had a deeper purpose. What began as a personal spreadsheet to evaluate his year across different life categories eventually became a comprehensive tool for self-assessment. First used with his four children and later expanded into a larger framework, this tool evolved into the Life Score system—a way to measure not just success, but fulfillment across eight key life areas.
The heart of Bill’s approach lies in the acronym HELP GROW: Health, Environment, Leisure, Purpose, Growth, Relationships, Occupation, and Wealth. Each category is scored to assess how balanced and intentional your life is. Whether you’re questioning your purpose, feeling stuck, or just want to improve your habits, Bill emphasizes the power of regular self-check-ins. His takeaway? The happiest people invest time in all areas of life—not just work—and live with purpose and balance. His tools and insights offer a roadmap to get there.
