Financial Coach, Are You Teaching Or Coaching Your Clients? (Video)

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. 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. [...]

How Many Financial Coaching Clients is Too Many? Here Are Three Considerations

It's a hard balance to figure out: How many financial coaching clients can you take on before you feel overworked and spread too thin? There's no magic number that works for everyone. At the height of my coaching, I was doing 40+ hours of just coaching sessions in a week (so 40 1-hour sessions probably), but I do not recommend that. I was pretty burnt out, and my business at that time was not scaled properly. Chalk it up to growing pains. But looking back now, I can say there are ways to help you figure out how many clients [...]

From One Experienced Financial Coach to Another: You Got Skills

It's not often this girl gets surprised during a client meeting, so I have to share something that happened last week. I've worked with this client (I'll call her Jenny) for probably 7 or 8 years. It’s been a long time. Jenny is amazing - she’s driven, coachable, honest, self-aware, giving, caring, you name it. Jenny is the best.  We have met every two weeks, if not more, for the better part of the last decade, so as you can imagine, I know Jenny pretty well and she knows me. Our journey together has been gratifying for both of us. [...]

My Last Day In Corporate America

Eleven years ago today was my last day in Corporate America.  It was the day I became a full-time financial coach. I remember thinking, "I'll give it a year...and if I can't cut it, if I'm crazy and this 'coaching thing' doesn't work out, I'll just go back into Corporate America." In other words, I totally didn't expect it to become what it has.  My business was my first baby.  Michael was soooo supportive!! He was my biggest cheerleader at this time - in other words, not much has changed! I was clueless at how to communicate my value and [...]
