Why a Financial Coach?

We women know we can perform incredible tasks on our own, but it’s more fun if we have a buddy, right? Accountability and collaboration can make a big difference in our productivity. Have you noticed how clean your house gets when you’re multitasking while chatting on the phone?  And watch us women solve the world’s problems while we’re sipping coffee!  This is the first of many reasons financial coaching works so well.

Financial Success = 80% Behavior + 20% Head Knowledge

“Behavior, intelligently viewed, takes into account the emotional, relational, the family history, the socioeconomic impacts and the spiritual.  To ignore any of these while discussing behavior change about money is incomplete and very naïve.”

~ Dave Ramsey – Total Money Makeover

I’ve watched clients pay good money for financial advice they never followed. Even I have failed to actually do what I knew I should.  Then it dawned on me, if I’m really going to help people become financially healthy, I  need to not only give them good advice, I need to address the elements that contribute to their money behaviorshttp://www.dreamstime.com/-image12877948

So I became a financial coach. In my experience it’s the most effective approach in transforming someone’s approach to money.  As a Certified Financial Planner™, I’ve passed the tests to certify that I have all the head knowledge I need to help clients become financially successful.  But first, I needed to change in more personal ways to take control of my own finances which seemed to make decisions for me despite my best laid plans.  I needed to stop sticking my head in the sand, I needed to gain the strength to attack my financial troubles head on, I needed to take my dollars by the horns and prove who was boss.  I had some wise women in my life who coached me along, and I am passionate about doing the same for other women.

Unlike most professionals in this industry, I can serve those who are not (or not-yet) upper class. You don’t need assets under management to become one of my clients.  You don’t need a minimum investment, or any investment, to begin improving your financial wellness. Right now, you need the specific financial education that applies to your situation (the 20% mentioned above), and the insight of a coach to conquer the other 80% of the financial success equation. Together we will determine which of your financial behaviors should be maximized, and which tendencies should take a back seat.
