"some people are so poor, all they have is money"


“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.

“When you make a decision, you flip your brain onto a different frequency. You begin to attract whatever is on that frequency.” -Bob Proctor What and who are you attracting? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

“A simple idea that’s too often neglected. To appreciate you. For all you’ve gone through and all you’ve become. For all the fears you’ve faced and found freedom from. For the dreams you now only dreamed but had the bravery to make real. For all the people you’ve helped and for all the food you have done. You matter more than you know. So please do not measure your worthiness by what the majority tells you that you should be, do and have.” - Robin Sharma This might be the greatest...

“It is not death that a man should fear, but never beginning to live.” -Marcus Aurelius Only you know whether you are really living. My definition of living is hardly the standard everyone should use, but if you’re reading this Note, I think you’ll agree and know where I’m heading. Living a life that is not true to you–not authentic to you–is not living, at least not fully living. Yes, waking up each morning, existing, getting through the day, and maybe finding a little time to do something...
