Some people are givers, some are takers. And as you coach, you'll come across both extremes of people. Today, though I want to talk about the giver. Specifically the type of people who give and give and give. I call these people my caretaker clients.  Who is a Caretaker? A caretaker is someone who uses their time, money, and energy to assist their immediate family members, friends, or possibly even colleagues. They give a lot and cannot stop themselves from giving. It is their nature. But caretakers oftentimes do so at a sacrifice to themselves financially. Like most [...]

The programs we took were either too general or too rigid, promising that the only way to succeed as a financial coach was by following an exact blueprint laid out by the instructors. That didn’t work for us.  We had found a lot of things that did work for us though over nearly a decade of running our financial coaching business. We created systems, processes, and general how-tos that made for a framework where anyone could build a successful coaching [...]

Kelsa coaches a brand new financial coach through crafting their “Why Story”

Many new entrepreneurs have fear about taking the next step in their business and a lot of the time this shows up as imposter syndrome. Wikipedia defines imposter syndrome as: "a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud"." Financial coaching is a relatively new career path and many financial coaches have no formalized education in finances, feel like their credibility will be questioned. But having a degree in finance does not make a financial coach. Most financial coaches have actually learned good financial [...]
