I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
"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’ve had the fortune of spending the last couple of days in Asheville, North Carolina staying on the Biltmore Estate. I’m not usually a history buff, but the property and the story of it is so impressive. When I listened to the story of how George Vanderbilt had the massive estate built, all I could think about was how delusional he was—in a positive way. I’ve written about how the outside world may see us as delusional as we pursue our Authentic Lives. Can you imagine what people thought...
I know that hip-hop has the reputation of being music with less than positive lyrics and topics—and the language bothers a lot of people. The reality is yes, there are those songs, but there are also a ton of songs with inspiring lyrics based on the experience of the artist. I am convinced a contributor to my self-confidence is listening to hip-hop my entire life. I was able to separate out the drugs, gang, violence, and the other topics that the public associates the genre with and focus on...
“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.” -Paulo Coehlo I know this. I’ve experienced this. I’ve helped others experience this. My life’s work is to help more people realize this, believe this, and then experience it. And it is so frustrating to see so many people not believe that they can achieve what they dream. And it’s even more frustrating to see so many people not even know what they want to dream. Don’t let others' (or society's) narratives keep you...
