“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.
“When you desire something, it isn’t primarily about the thing itself; it is about the state of being that you imagine will come with it – a state of fulfillment, contentment, presence, calm.” -Ben Katt If the something is aligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience those states of being and more. If the something is misaligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience disappointment, frustration, and discontentment that you didn’t receive what you had hoped for, Most people...
I met with a client I’ve been working with for almost a year, and we reflected on the success we've both been having. I reminded him that I came into 2026 saying (and believing) that anyone close to me was going to have a great year—I came into the year riding a powerful wave, and I felt that anyone on that wave with me was going to have a great year too. And this has been true—not just him, but the other clients I’ve been coaching, my closest friends, even clients I’ve been working with for...
“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” -Joseph Campbell See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
