For F’s Sake: Your 8Fs of FOCUS for a Purpose-Driven Life

Are you living with intention - or just getting through the day?
It’s time to stop running on empty and start focusing on what truly matters.
For F's Sake gives you a straightforward, practical, and deeply personal roadmap for building a life with clarity, purpose, and balance. Based on Robert N. Jacobs' life-changing 8Fs framework - Faith, Fitness, Family, Finance, Facts, Fun, Friends, Favour; this book isn’t another fluffy self-help manual or a theoretical blueprint written from an ivory tower. It’s real, raw, and honest. Born out of a shock diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes on his wedding day, Robert’s journey forced him to reassess everything. What emerged was a simple but powerful philosophy that anyone can follow.
Inside this 100-day guide, you'll find:

• 8 transformational chapters, each focused on one of the “8Fs” that shape a meaningful life
• Personal stories that don’t sugar-coat life’s hardships, but show how to rise through them
• Practical tools like the “WoW Wheel” to assess and rebalance your life in real-time
• Daily actions, weekly reflections, and challenges that help you move from thinking to doing
• A framework that doesn’t demand perfection, just progress

Why the 8Fs?
Because too many of us are pulled in all directions and never quite feel whole. We chase work, forget our health, put family on the back burner, avoid finances, stop learning, forget to play, lose touch with friends, and neglect service. That kind of life might be busy, but it’s not fulfilling. The 8Fs put your focus back where it belongs, on living well, living fully, and living intentionally.
This book will help you:

• Build unshakable inner strength through faith (whether religious or not)
• Prioritise fitness as a tool for survival, mental resilience, and emotional health
• Strengthen family bonds and become the anchor your loved ones can lean on
• Take back control of your finances using timeless strategies and personal discipline
• Embrace lifelong learning and become a student of life, not just a graduate of school
• Rediscover fun, not as escapism, but as essential fuel for your wellbeing
• Deepen friendships, build your tribe, and show up consistently for those who matter
• Find fulfilment not in what you gain, but in how you give back

Whether you’re 25 or 55, battling stress or seeking direction, tired of drifting or ready to level up, this book is your next step. Each page helps you reset and realign with what matters most.
For F's Sake is not about chasing some polished, perfect version of life. It’s about making honest progress, one day at a time. No hype. No hacks. Just habits, heart, and hard-won wisdom from someone who’s walked the path.
You only get one shot at this life. Don’t waste it being scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck. Get focused. Stay grounded. Live with purpose.
Let’s get started.
