The Importance of Embracing Your Role As CEO

How To Create and Execute The Vision You Have For Your Financial Coaching Business - And Life I take my job as the CEO of my company very seriously. But it took me a while to fully step into this role because imposter syndrome is a bitch. But the thing is, if you’re running a business of any kind, no matter the size, you too are a CEO.  One of the things that helped me step into my CEO-ness was holding regular CEO Retreats for myself.  I held my first CEO retreat back in May 2021 because [...]

Financial Coach, Are You Teaching Or Coaching Your Clients? (Video)

Why Financial Coaching Is About So Much More Than Teaching Financial Concepts Learn how to coach, not just teach, your clients. Watch your business shift and your clients get amazing results.

A Step-by-Step Approach For Financial Coaches to Coach Clients on Debt Payoff

Why The Debt Snowball Isn't Always The Best Way To Pay Off Debt When I started financial coaching more than 10 years ago, I had many clients who came to me and their number one goal was to get out of debt. Probably like many of your clients today.
