"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,

This morning, I caught an early flight out to Phoenix, where I’ll be spending the next few days kicking off the Integrated Wealth Advisor program created by my friend (and former AlignedLife podcast guest) Breanna Blaney–I’ll share more about the program later. While walking through the airport, I couldn’t help but notice the number of people struggling to make it to the gate or needing a wheelchair. I didn’t observe with judgment. Instead, I focused on the reminder to make sure I’m doing all...

Discovering your Authentic Life and beginning to live it does not mean that the growth and impact you seek will happen overnight. In fact, the timeline for the outcome you desire will probably still be a long one. “The overnight success that took ten years to build” is usually the outcome of someone discovering their Authentic Life, listening to their heart, and sticking with their efforts, despite overnight success not coming. The ten-year overnight success is only possible for someone...
