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)

By |2022-08-16T15:40:35-07:00August 16th, 2022|

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. I don’t know about you guys, but when I first started coaching clients, this is how I assumed my sessions would go.

Probably like many of your clients today. They'd tell me their financial info, I'd plug it into a debt snowball calculator, and it would spit out this beautiful, perfect debt payoff plan that I would then present to the client. And sometimes it would work. But you know what, sometimes it didn't. My client wouldn't stick to the [...]
