“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 |

A minor change to The Weekly Note starts this week. I started the Weekly Note to deliver the week's Daily Notes to those who want them but don't want a daily email. We get too many emails as it is, so I was happy to send them all in one. Not wanting to make the Weekly Note just about me, I decided to curate some additional content to make the email more valuable, and that is where the change is coming. For the foreseeable future, the Weekly Note will return to its original purpose —...
This morning I walked to our local coffee shop to work from there for a couple of hours—it takes about thirty minutes to get there. On the way home, I decided not to finish the podcast I'd been listening to on the way there. Instead, I walked home with just my thoughts and stayed present with the nature around me. Sure, I could have kept listening to the podcast to be “productive” and make the most of my time, but I felt it was a better use of thirty minutes to just be. When I first started...
