Tough Client Conversations: Your Client Made a Poor Choice and Can’t Afford to Pay You

We had a situation with a client at Fiscal Fitness recently where they couldn’t afford our services because of some poor decision making. We work with them on a monthly basis and our monthly payment was coming due. But between our previous session with them and the one that was coming up, they decided to sign up for a CrossFit membership. This expense was not in their budget, and by signing up for this membership, it meant they didn’t have the funds to pay us. This was frustrating. But I wasn’t frustrated about their inability to pay me. It [...]

Tough Conversations: How to Break Up with a Financial Coaching Client

Breakups are hard. No one likes being broken up with and few people like breaking up with someone. It’s uncomfortable and raw and usually leads to more questions than it does answers.

Here are a few ways to help you have the right words but also evaluate if it really is time to end it all. Before You End It Before you start [...]

How Your Financial Coaching Business Benefits from Clients Who Don’t “Get It”

Let’s say you have a financial coaching client who has been working with you for only a month or two. It hasn't been a super long relationship, but even after this short period of time, you can tell they're simply not getting it. They're not getting great results or maybe they're not moving as fast as you would like. Perhaps it feels like you take two steps back for every step forward. When you talk to them, you say things like “You did what since we talked last? What do you mean you just bought a new car?” In short, [...]

Why We Never Say Never

Don’t Be So Rigid in Your Coaching There’s a school of thought with some financial coaches that all credit cards are bad. They think people who have gotten themselves into credit card debt need to work their way out, month-by-month, payment-by-payment, and that the credit cards they have are the credit cards they are stuck with. Because of this way of thinking, that means some coaches will never tell their clients about the option of possibly taking advantage of a balance transfer. A zero percent credit card might be available to them, and even if that person is paying 25% [...]

Client exercise: Buyer’s remorse

We have all felt buyer's remorse at some point and boy isn't it painful? It stings a little for sure. There's no doubt our clients have experienced that gut-wrenching feeling too. It may be easy to dismiss this feeling since we've all done it. But it's the pesky little things that can lead to doubt, a lack of confidence, and the inability to trust yourself with financial decisions. As financial coaches, we can help our clients by helping them to identify the factors that contribute to regrettable money choices. Below is a quick exercise you can give your client - [...]

Why Your Approach to Money will Get you More Clients

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to money. Depending on the person I’m coaching and the financial situation they are in, I will employ a bunch of different strategies to help them meet their financial goals. I recognize the strategies I use might be different than the ones you would use. And that’s ok. One of the beautiful things about financial coaching is that there is no right way to do things. We each have our own ideas of the best strategies to pay off debt, to shore up savings, or to plan for retirement. Those differences are definitely a [...]
