"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. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

“From good people you’ll learn good, but if you mingle with the bad you’ll destroy such soul as you had.” —Musonius Rufus It seems we’re in a period when people are showing the world who they really are. Pay attention and heed Rufus’s warning. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
I’ve continued to think about putting on blinders and thought I’d share how I plan to use the additional time and energy: Read more Write more Meditate more Create more Rest more Connect more As I shared yesterday, a big part of my blinders will include dropping off social media. Like many, it has become my default time killer. Instead of scrolling to kill time, I’ll just use LinkedIn and Substack to distribute the content I create. I hope to replace the connections I’ve made on social media...
Yesterday, I was talking with a friend, discussing the momentum from 2025 and my current embodiment, and sharing my vision for the end of 2026; towards the end of our conversation, she asked me what could get in the way of everything coming to fruition this year. I sat for a moment. The answer came to me loud and clear. “My Self.” The only way my vision board for the year doesn’t become my reality is if I get in the way. Allowing my Self to fall out of alignment.Allowing my Self to get...
