posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF  PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching The Dilemma of Discounting Your Purpose There is a quiet desire that lives in almost everyone—a longing to wake up each morning knowing that the steps you’re about to take actually matter. Not just to pay bills. Not just to survive. But to  express something true  about who you are. Life feels fundamentally different when your days are aligned with the thing that burns inside you. When your effort feels meaningful. When your work feels like an extension of your identity rather than a betrayal of it. And yet, many people never arrive there. Not because they aren’t capable. Not because the opportunity doesn’t exist. But because, over time, they slowly learn to discount themselves. I want to be very clear: most people do not abandon their purpose consciously. It happens subtly. Quietly. Through small compromises. Through unchallenged beliefs. Throu...

posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching Success Is Not Accidental. It’s Designed. Let me ask you something real. What are the actual components of success for the life, brand, or business you’re building right now? Not the dream version. Not the highlight reel. The  working parts . Have you ever paused long enough to name them? If your life doesn’t quite match where you thought you’d be by now… If you’re branding yourself inside a corporate environment but still feel unseen or underestimated… If you’re building a business and keep running in circles—trying to stay stable, sustainable, and income-generating—but never quite breaking through… Hear this clearly:  none of it works without structure. You cannot grow what you refuse to systematize. Your life is a system. Your brand is a system. Your business is absolutely a system. And if you can’t name a single operation you should be focused on ...

posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching There Is a Leadership Vacuum in This Age of Quiet Power There is a particular kind of loneliness that doesn’t come from being lost. It comes from  seeing clearly —and realizing the world has no place prepared for you. Not because you lack direction. Not because you lack discipline. Not even because you lack results. But because the systems around you were never designed to recognize people who think ahead of them. Many of us walk through life carrying a quiet self‑loathing that we don’t name out loud. It shows up as frustration. As impatience. As a low‑grade anger we aim inward because it feels safer than naming the truth: “If I’m so capable, why does everything feel so misaligned?” That question haunts the most powerful thinkers of our time. A World Loud With Noise—and Empty of Leadership We are surrounded by answers. They glare at us from screens, headli...

posted by Coach Daymond E. Lavine, CLC FOUNDER OF PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach (CLC) | Life, Business and Brand Coaching The Quiet Questions America Is Afraid to Ask There are quiet questions a lot of people in America are asking themselves right now. They aren’t asking them out loud. They aren’t posting them online. They’re barely even admitting them to themselves. But the questions are there—persistent, unsettling, impossible to ignore: Is all of this really happening? And is this truly what I’m supposed to accept as my future—for the rest of my life? These questions aren’t always about money. They aren’t always about work or family. They’re about  life . And right now, life feels… fractured. Coping with that fracture—mentally, emotionally, spiritually—has become one of the greatest challenges of our time. America Isn’t Just Divided — It’s Disoriented People are experiencing this moment in wildly different ways. Some feel overworked and underpaid. Some feel educated, capa...

Lavine aka Daymond Inspires™️ THE PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach | Holistic Pluralistic Entrepreneurship Coach When Is the Right Time for Your Nonprofit to File for 501(c)(3) Status? Recently, I worked with a new client to help them secure 501(c)(3) status for their nonprofit, and their journey inspired me to write this post. Before we connected, they were feeling discouraged about the process, unsure if they had what it took to move forward. The legal paperwork, IRS filings, and structural requirements felt overwhelming. But after seeing all that I’ve built and accomplished, they realized that success was possible for them too—they just needed the right guidance. Now, their nonprofit is officially certified, and we’re shifting our focus to branding, fundraising, and community impact. Their story is one I’ve seen time and time again: passionate individuals with a vision, held back by uncertainty, until they get the right support. If you're wonderi...

Lavine aka Daymond Inspires™️ THE PLURARPRENEUR® Certified Life Coach | Holistic Pluralistic Entrepreneurship Coach Pluravision™: A Vision Board Workshop That Sparked Collaborative Growth On Friday evening, February 7, 2025, at Perimeter Zen , my private event loft in the Dallas Design District , I had the privilege of hosting the Pluravision™ Vision Board Workshop —a transformative experience that brought together ambitious entrepreneurs looking to craft a clear roadmap for success. This event was a deeply personal one for me, not just because it revived a lost tradition of vision board workshops after COVID-19 disrupted these powerful gatherings, but because it was a collaborative effort with one of my own Plurapreneur® mentees. Why Pluravision™? Why Now? After years of watching vision board workshops disappear from the entrepreneurial space, I knew it was time to bring them back— but with a higher purpose . Entrepreneurs today aren’t just looking...
