"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 |

I have a pretty extensive library of books—more books than I care to admit. The majority of the books are “business” books, and very few would be considered pleasure reading. I mean, I enjoy reading them, but most people don’t find finance, spirituality, mindset, religion, and other books that have helped me develop my understanding of the Authentic Life. I wanted to start a book that was purely for pleasure this holiday weekend. There wasn’t anything in my library that fit what I was looking...
Eleven years ago today, I grabbed my laptop and sat down at the table on the screened-in porch at my cousin’s house in Western Pennsylvania. We were visiting family back in my parents’ hometown, so I was just planning on doing a little business planning work, as I was in the waiting period for my firm to be approved by Indiana, before we set out to visit family. I logged into my email and saw a message from the Secretary of State’s office, and I immediately opened it. It was at that moment...
I don’t know about you, but I find it crazy that we’re halfway through the year. How’s it going for you? Make sure you take time to appreciate all of the success and good you have experienced this year. It’s easy to focus on what didn’t go right and let negative thoughts and emotions prevail. The energy that you focus on will set the tone for the remainder of the year. You choose. I hope you choose to see the positive. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
