Sophia Mathelier, CEO and Planner Creator

Hi, I'm Sophia, a devoted wife and daughter, an awesome sister and aunt, a great listener, and a child of the most high. I'm passionate about photography, planning, and keeping things organized. In terms of jobs, I have done it all. From retail to collections to publishing to tech support. When I'm not working my 9-5 or spending time with my husband/best friend/soulmate, I love sitting on my back patio and listening to the windchimes as I watch the sunset. My ultimate goal is to live (and help others live) a more focused, balanced life through the principle of Five Fs: Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, and Fulfillment.

I have loved planners, pens, notebooks and stationery since I was a little girl. There's not much more satisfying than putting a pen to paper, making lists, and checking them off. But sometimes, my day gets so full with the mundane that I often lose focus on what's important. Which is one of the reasons that keeping a planner works so well for me.

I've used a lot of planners over the years, and when I find one that I like, I'm pretty loyal to it. For several years, I used the Franklin Covey 365 planner that was sold at Target. I would get one at the beginning of each year usually in a different color. Until one year, it happened - my planner was discontinued! I felt heartbroken, devastated, and let down. Since then, I've jumped around a few times to other planners, and for a while, I've stuck with one. But as times changed, so did my needs, and I couldn't find just one planner that worked for me. So, I decided to create one MYSELF!

I was in my last year of my MBA program that the idea for Five Focus came to me, and aside from a few bumps in the road, this has been such an exciting and rewarding journey. I can't wait to share this product with everyone who may find it useful, and I hope it's a start to giving people the focus that they deserve in their lives.
