"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 |

This morning I sent a voice note to an old friend of mine. I say old because, over the last few years, our friendship faded, and I’m not really sure why. The story I’ve told my Self to accept the loss of this friend is that sometimes people come into our lives for a specific reason and time, which may not be as long as we’d like. As I’ve evolved, numerous relationships that were really important to me have evolved, and it has been much easier to see why and be at peace with the natural...
“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.” -Brianna Wiest This quote might sound scary because the cost of your old life is comfort, familiarity, and might even extend to friends, career, and other hard-to-let-go parts of your life. But, if your new life is your Authentic Life, the excitement of possibility and the feeling of alignment will outweigh the fear of letting go. If you’re not living the life you feel called to live, keep exploring and experimenting until you discover your...
One of my favorite J. Cole songs right now is 99 Build Freestyle off his Birthday Blizzard mixtape that he released leading up to the release of his album The Fall Off. For those who grew up on 90’s hip hop, the song is over the iconic Lox Money, Power, & Respect beat—it’s high energy and gets me hyped for the day, which is why it’s one of the first songs I listen to in my car. The title of the song, 99 Build, refers to the perfect build of a player in video games, specifically the NBA 2K...
