"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,

I hope you're having a great weekend! This week I spent a couple of days in Joshua Tree for the Integrated Wealth Advisor program I am participating in, and it was such a magical and productive time in the desert. The beginning of the program has been primarily focused with deepening my understanding of my own relationship with money and my Self--the statement "you can only take someone as far as you've gone your Self" in practice. The trip to Joshua Tree was the transition to how we can...

“What you gonna do when it doesn't work out how you thought it would? (Whoa) Feels unfair and you wanna turn around, but it's for your own good I can lose it all, just as long as I don't ever lose my faith (whoa) I've never been here, but that makes it new, doesn't mean it's strange I'm not lost, I'm on an adventure I'm just on a quest for my treasure Cross any ocean, walk any desert (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Might fall apart, just pull it together Think about how far you've come, just remember...
