"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.

This afternoon, I had the opportunity to give another MNDFL talk to the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams at a local high school, and just like my talks this summer, the teens were fully engaged and taking a ton of notes. The coach shared a screenshot of what the team had shared with each other, and I couldn’t help but smile at what they had taken away; many of them made connections on their own that I didn’t share. I thought I’d share what they took away: Mindset separates the good from the...

“Everybody everywhere wanted an end to corruption. They wanted kindness, they wanted community, they wanted democracy, they wanted adequate food, shelter, and health care... institutions they could trust.” - George Kinder Last week, a new episode of the AlignedLife podcast dropped, and it was a special one. A very important influence in my career joined me for a conversation about the possibility of a better civilization—a Golden Civilization. George Kinder was my guest, and if you’re new to...

“You should think of your energy as if it's expensive. As if it's a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone has invested in you in order to be able to have the capital for you to care about this.” -Taylor Swift Bet you didn’t see a Taylor Swift quote coming.
