What to Ask Yourself When Listing Prices On Your Website By Kelsa Dickey When financial coaches ask me a question about should I or should I not do X for my financial coaching business, my answer is usually it depends. That response goes for the question of whether or not to put your prices on your website. It can be a good idea or a bad idea, and your yes or no response depends on where you are in your business and what’s best for your business growth.

Financial Coaching a Client Going Through Trauma

By financialcoachacademy|2021-05-25T22:00:45+00:00May 25th, 2021|

How to Be There for Your Financial Coaching Clients (and Yourself) When Life Has Thrown Them a Curveball BY: JILL EMANUEL Today I want to talk to you all about supporting a financial coaching client during a crisis or trauma. Coaching isn't always about the celebrations or exciting financial goals. Don’t get me wrong. Those things are fun, and when those moments happen we celebrate them in a big way with our clients. But coaching deals with a range of emotions - the highs and the lows. One of the benefits of hiring a financial coach for many clients is [...]

How Much Do I Need to Make to Go From Part-Time to Full-Time Financial Coach? I was recently asked this question by a member of our Financial Coaches Unite group. A part-time financial coach who is currently helping friends and family members asked: At some point down the road I’d love to make it a full time gig, but I’m wondering what I should expect to make per year in terms of revenue?

How to Set Boundaries with Your Financial Coaching Clients Here’s the scenario. A new coach is building her financial coaching business and trying to take on beta clients.
