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 |

Originally posted on the AlignedLife Blog. In case you haven’t been following my writing on money on AlignedLife, here’s one of my most recent posts, “Money’s Real Power”. Money doesn’t change who we are. It reveals us. I think this might be one of the most misunderstood truths about money. We’re taught, explicitly and implicitly, that money does something to people. That it corrupts. That it spoils. That it turns otherwise decent humans into something darker. But money isn’t a moral force....

Today I’m going to do something I’ve never done before…hit you with two Daily Notes. This first one is for yesterday–with a two hour school delay, two amazing life planning meetings, helping my wife, Ang, move everything out of her storefront and into our house, and driving to Roman’s basketball game I didn’t get a chance to sit down and write a Note. As I’ve watched Ang the last couple of weeks get ready for her last day with Roman & Leo (the boutique she started 12 years ago), I couldn’t...
