Affording a Money Coach
People often ask me, “How can I afford to pay a money coach when I am struggling with money?” I tell clients that upon tuning into their money, most people discover they have more money than they realized. This consistently happens when clients start healing their relationship with money by slowing down and consciously spending time:
opening the mail
sorting and paying bills on time
making note of all bill due dates on a calendar
anticipating non-monthly expenses
completing financial housekeeping tasks like phone calls and returns
filing for reimbursements
balancing their checkbook
building three levels of sustainable savings
cleaning up past mistakes/debts like back taxes and personal loans
proactively planning your monthly and annual spending
There are many other benefits to hiring a money coach as your financial accountability partner. It is a relatively short-term investment for long-term results. Clients gain clarity on their complete cost of living and lifestyle, which can be very useful in salary negotiations. It is not uncommon for money coaching clients’ income to increase thus covering the cost of the investment altogether. A money coach teaches you how to find and stop leaks and brainstorm creative solutions to your needs. You will learn how to start and effectively maintain a savings account and create a targeted debt reduction plan, if applicable. Clients identify and heal areas of deprivation and learn to discern between needs and wants. Perhaps most importantly, clients attain confidence and peace of mind around money, which has a deep and lasting impact on their financial decision-making as well as their relationships.
