"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 |

Today we drove up to New Buffalo, Michigan, for a few days to revive our family summer trip. We started coming up here in 2019, and thanks to AAU, last summer was our first year without going. I wasn’t sure how much the boys enjoyed the trip until last week, when they each mentioned on separate occasions how excited they were for our trip. I knew they had good times during our trips, but I didn’t know it had become so special to them. Building traditions can make ordinary experiences into...

This morning, a close friend shared in a text message that he had been struggling with the word “authenticity”. What did it really mean?Was he always being authentic? He shared that he had finally defined what it meant to him to be authentic, and I have to admit, the realization that he came to was PERFECT. I told him that when I think of the definition of authenticity, it comes down to values. To be authentic, all you have to do is remain true to your Self, which requires doing the work to...
