Financial Coaching a Client Going Through Trauma

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 [...]

By |2022-06-03T16:20:33-07:00May 12th, 2021|

By Kelsa Dickey 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? I know every area of the country is different, but I’m trying to get a ballpark idea for planning purposes. As someone who started [...]

By |2021-03-26T21:28:33-07:00March 26th, 2021|

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 [...]

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.

It's a New Year, so for us, that means it's time for another 21-Day Challenge. 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. It’s something most everyone can agree on.

A New and Improved Academy is Coming in 2021

By |2022-10-03T18:34:08-07:00December 8th, 2020|

We launched our signature course, the Financial Coach Academy, in 2015 because there was a problem with financial coach training. 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”

By |2020-10-09T18:02:18-07:00October 9th, 2020|

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 [...]

But it’s only part. Now comes the hard part. Now you have to actually provide a service. You have to show [...]
