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 [...]

I would sit with a client, explain how money works or why this way of doing things was the smart way to do, they would understand exactly what I was saying, and then viola they would go take action. They’d experience a transformation. [...]

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 [...]

Thoughts About The Value Of Raising Your Prices And When You Know It’s Time

By financialcoachacademy|2022-03-22T16:04:25+00:00March 21st, 2022|

The live-only course was great, but it had its drawbacks. The main one being that we wanted to help more coaches! Twenty seats per [...]

Why Trust Is More Important To Your Clients Than A Credible Financial Coach Certification I have been a financial coach for more than a decade now. I’ve coached hundreds of clients in that time. And you know how many have asked me what certifications I have? Maybe two? I don’t have any financial coach certifications, and in this post I want to tell you why you don’t need them either, and why building trust is way more important than your certifications as a financial coach.
