“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'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.
“If you’re willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly.” -Edward Albee To the outside world, aspects of your Authentic Life will look “interestingly”. Embrace it and trust that you know better than anyone else what you’re supposed to be doing and who you are supposed to be. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
How many times do you hold back from telling someone what you’re really excited about? This morning I ran into an old CrossFit buddy at the coffee shop, and we got to talking about life, what we’re up to, and the opportunity to talk about my creative work naturally presented itself. I told him about the writing I’m doing on my AlignedLife blog for my first book, looking at money as a form of energy. I shared the concept in my latest post, The Velocity of Money, how I’m meeting with Sarah...
Who you choose to align your Authentic Life with is one of the most important decisions you will make, and it’s a decision most of us make way before we discover who we really are. Today, Ang and I celebrate twenty years of being married. As I’ve reflected over those years, and the two and a half years of dating before, I see yet another breadcrumb in my life—an important and big one. As with most things in life, so many things had to line up for Ang and I to meet—my choice to go to Franklin...
