"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 |

Successful people think differently. They don’t waste energy asking, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What can I do about it?” -Anonymous I saw this on IG the other day and wrote it down, but I didn’t write down the account that posted it, so I can’t at least attribute it to that account. If you find your Self dismissing this, my guess is your default is the “why”, which is probably the human mind’s default setting. Before dismissing it, I challenge you to give it a try next time...
This morning, I was listening to the latest Rich Roll podcast with Hellah Sidibe and Rich said something that stood out to me—it was something simple and common. “Life is hard.” Being a big believer that the words we choose matter and can quietly shape our reality—or maybe they quietly reveal our inner worlds, I cringed (not sure if that’s the right word, but I had a reaction) when I heard Rich say it. No doubt that life doesn’t always go smoothly, and there are times when we are tested. And...
If you’ve ever been to Sedona, you will probably understand what I’m about to try to explain. Time there seems to move a little slower. After spending a few days there last week, one of the things I’m trying to hold onto now that I’m home is how slowly the day seemed to pass. Maybe it was because I’d wake up each morning at 4:00 and then 5:00 to FaceTime the boys before they went to school, so my day was kind of starting early, but I’d go back to sleep until about 6:00, so I would be working...
