Being successful in any field awakens a desire to recreate more successes. The feeling often comes naturally for many, and for New York-based entrepreneur Victor Delacruz, it has grown beyond a feeling. Instead, it is more of a calling and a commitment to bestow his unique gifts, knowledge and skills on humanity.
Having achieved numerous successful milestones in business, experienced failure first-hand and served in the military for four years, Victor Delacruz has launched a journal called The Christian Planner™, a planner that helps people connect with themselves and lead more fulfilling and integrated lives.
The Christian Planner™ is a product of Victor Delacruz’s journey and the numerous twists and turns he has experienced. After spending four years serving in the military, he moved to Manhattan to attend graduate school at New York University while chasing his dreams as a musician. Unfortunately, he felt pressured as he pursued success. And while he was successful in his first business venture before losing (his psyche) and it all in a lawsuit, he believes many others have battles they are fighting and can do better for themselves if they had a way of staying connected to their core selves. The Christian Planner™ helps people schedule time with God and include him in their daily activities, goal setting, planning and journaling so they can be more focused, productive and less prone to stress and anxiety. It helped Victor greatly, so he decided to give more people access to it so it could help them too.
Many people have made Christian Planner™ their favorite journal thanks to all its features and how it gives them a message to hold onto week after week. The Weekend Reflection and Sermon Notes features have made many people stick to the brand and leave five-star rave reviews. Explaining the motivation behind creating the journal, Victor revealed: “As a survivor of a traumatic brain injury and abuse encountered in my early childhood, I’ve had to journal my entire life rigorously just to stay balanced. Years of this practice have helped me heal and explore my internal creativity, psychology, and spirituality. And as a practicing Christian, I realized there wasn’t a planner that helped Christians stay in rhythm with their faith, so I published this planner. I had no idea it would be so successful!”
Victor has given the high-functioning individuals of New York something to keep them up as high-performing achievers. “New York has shaped me and changed my worldview, and I believe many other people need a massive shift that takes them closer to their faith,” Victor said.
Since Christian Planner™ hit the market, many people have found the help they need to thrive in every area of their lives. “The inherent nature of the product is to help people live an integrated life: spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, familiarly and habitually,” Victor shared. “I’m so grateful that folks actually come back to purchase it! The number of folks that rely on this planner can fill up Madison Square Garden…twice!”
In the next few years, Victor sees Christian Planner™ bringing different partnerships to life and building a hybrid company that encompasses an audience network, media company and venture studio creating all forms of content, including podcasts and community-focused content. A new journaling category is also in the works, geared toward helping people dive deeper into the trauma and depths of the psyche and guiding them back up to their highest self by overcoming abuse, infidelity, marriage and parenting challenges.
