“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
- Bob Marley
As I think about the work I am and will be doing with LifeDesign+, I believe the majority of the people I will work with will understand that while we cannot escape the need for money and that having money is not bad, it also will not lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Purpose and fulfillment are found by finding, living, and evolving with your authentic life. Through personal experience and observation, I know you can have purpose, fulfillment, and money—they are not mutually exclusive. I also know you don’t have to find purpose and fulfillment first for the money to follow—although this is one way. It is also possible to accumulate money to seek purpose and fulfillment, aligning the three. There is no “right path”. The beauty of LifeDesign+ is that the relationship will allow me to meet people where they are. They can be seeking purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to their authentic lives to align and grow their finances, or they can be the version of “poor” described by Bob Marley, having the money and looking for their authentic life. I’ll be writing more and updating my website to bring more attention to LifeDesign+ (and a couple of variations—one specifically for my financial advisor peers and another to act as an outsourced life planner for financial advisor firms) now that I have confirmed that path that I am on is the right one for the present. If you find your Self seeking to find purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to your authentic life in hopes that it aligns and improves your finances, which it will, or you already have financial success but lack purpose and fulfillment, I’m only a reply to this email or DM away to chat about LifeDesign+. I’ll be here when you’re ready. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

For the last few months, I was practicing yoga at a new studio. The convenience of the studio being less than a mile from my house drew me in, and the owners quickly made me feel welcome. While I had been enjoying the new studio and the instructors I practiced with, I knew that I was missing the style of yoga I had been practicing for a couple of years and at another studio. I tried to convince myself that the convenience was worth not having a class in the style I prefer, a scaled-down...
"Creativity is the residue of time wasted.” - Albert Einstein I’m trying to find more time to be bored. Instead of turning on a podcast while cooking or grabbing a book when I have a few free minutes, I’m focusing on appreciating the lack of stimulation. A little more time with my thoughts. Practicing being the observer of my thoughts. Being more present. Giving my mind a rest. As you can imagine, it’s not as easy as it sounds, but I’m getting better at the practice and enjoying the peace and...
