“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.
“Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. -Ernest Hemingway Where you find your Self today is a result of your past Self’s decisions. Are you happy with those decisions, or do you wish you had made different decisions? Think about your future Self with the decisions you make today. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Allow your Self to pivot and iterate your way toward your Authentic Life. From experience, I have learned that it is ok to change direction and try again in a slightly different way—especially professionally. Through the pivots and iterations, you end up finding exactly where you are supposed to be. Let’s take a quick look: launch my firm with a barbell approach helping young professionals and retirees. create a new relationship for entrepreneurs that starts with personal planning, moves to...
I try not to use the Daily Notes to distribute my podcast, but the latest AlignedLife episode is perfect for the Notes. I am joined by my friend and fellow Leading Edge Community member, Jeff Williams, and we dive into his decision to leave his corporate career after 27 years. What makes his decision so inspiring and valuable for listeners is it wasn’t a decision to retire—it was a decision to leap into the unknown with the faith that he will be led to what is next. I have a pretty good idea...
