    The Money Itch Podcast started five years ago. I can't believe it. As I transition from my coaching business to my new exciting venture, I thought it would be perfect if I left you with a powerful message giving you the most important things I learned that allowed me to build a six-figure part-time business.  Let me start by saying, I always knew I was going to be an entrepreneur from a very young age. This isn't my first business, but it's the first one that worked. Everything I have built as an entrepreneur has been intentional.  This episode is designed to be a crash course on business where I share my secrets about how it all came together- it's what I wish I heard in the beginning of my business.  In this episode, I share… The timeline of my business from the original idea to leaving my job to multi-six figures and having a team Seven top lessons learned that allowed me to make my business dreams come true The truth about why I'm leaving my coaching business behind and starting another business instead An update on the next business My final message: I want to say thank you to all my clients, supporters, and listeners. These past six years have been amazing. I'm in awe of what has come together. While it's sad to end this chapter of my entrepreneurial journey, I am so excited to start writing the next one.  I hope this episode gives the “how to's” and inspiration to make your business dreams come true.  Kendall

    I went from having one income stream to three. The road to getting there wasn't easy, but it was worth it. There is so much I wish I knew earlier. Like many money goals, there weren't many people around me that had the experience I needed.  The result was me making a lot of mistakes mostly around not giving each income stream the attention they needed to grow with ease.  Every month, someone tells me that they want to create another income stream outside of their 9-to-5s. Their ideas range from… Day trading Online product businesses Creating a rental portfolio  Having several businesses at once Owning commercial property …and so much more. However, people rarely ask me what it takes to juggle this income stream with their careers. Believe it or not this is the number one question you NEED to ask yourself. Why? Your income stream grows and stabilizes when you give it time and attention. It has to be nurtured. If your plan is to create an income stream that doesn't have this, you could be setting yourself up for failure.  In this episode, I will be sharing with you the main strategies I've used to get better at juggling my income streams. These strategies have helped me to see continuous success and reduce the stress I used to feel. After six incredible years, we are excited to launch our next business! With that comes big changes. Jones Coaching Group will no longer offer coaching services or the Money Itch Podcast.

    Since I'm making big changes to Jones Coaching Group after six years of the same financial plan, I've decided to help you work through deciding if it's time for you to make changes in your financial strategies as well.  I think this is one area of money we don't talk about enough. We're often taught that we have to stick with a financial plan even if it doesn't feel right or we are not seeing the ROI we want.  When I talk about ROI in this case it doesn't have to be financial- it can be emotional.  This is something I wish everyone knew about in terms of financial plans…  You can get the same financial results with different financial strategies.  For example, one person can retire early from stock investments, while another person can retire from starting a business or investing in rental properties. All of these financially savvy people can retire early, but through different strategies.  You don't have to stick to one way of hitting your financial goal. You just have to get the best education on the strategy that works for you.  That's why this money topic is so important.  In this episode, I will discuss The two main reasons why you should change your financial plan How to determine if you are getting the results you truly desire Examples of when a plan is working or not Tips to creating a plan that is sustainable for the long haul When to give yourself permission to walk away The reason I'm making a change in Jones Coaching Group

    “Do you want to know how wealthy you are?” Depending on who I'm asking determines the reaction to this question.    You might be someone that's excited to see the number. Then again, there's a chance you know you need to make some financial changes and have decided the number might cause you anxiety.    Perhaps, a better question is… “Do you want to build wealth?” Most people would answer “YES!” to this question.    In order to build wealth, you need data.

It came from someone who got their working energy from being in front of the camera, on stage, and engaging with tons of people at once.    The problem… I didn't get my working energy that way. In fact, I'm the opposite. I'm an introvert and though I love to be around people, I get my energy from solo time. What was I supposed to do?!   Unfortunately, I didn't get my answer in 2018.

    Whether you want to build a side business to keep while you continue along your current career path or you want to build a side business to use as an exit from the 9-to-5 world, you will eventually be confronted with the task of how to make time. Unfortunately, businesses don't come together by merely thinking about the ideas. Those ideas must be unlocked by taking action. Therefore, you will need to create time in your week to dedicate to this new business.  One of the questions I get often is: “How did you build Jones Coaching Group while working a demanding job?” It helps that when I really want something, I develop tunnel vision. If you ask my husband and parents about what I was like when I was building my business, they'll tell you that I was consumed. Being consumed with a money goal can get you the results you want quicker. The truth is, I committed to creating time every single day for my business. What were the results? Before I left my successful career as a management consultant, my business generated enough profit monthly to pay for all my bills and spending. This would not have happened if it weren't for the business knowledge I acquired along the way, but most importantly the time I dedicated to working on my business creating concrete results.  In this episode, I share six time management tips that you can use to juggle your current career and your new business.

It wasn't until I reached the end of that journey that I realized it would take more for me to feel liberated and confident.  There was something missing.  As a result, I decided to elevate my financial approach again.  I'm now going on six years of financial coaching, and I've learned there is a connection between financial confidence and financial certainty.  What most people are looking for with money is certainty is:  Certainty they'll be able to retire Certainty that everything will be OK if they lose their jobs Certainty on how money works through different phases of their lives Certainty of how to break away from only looking at month to month vs looking at years ahead Certainty that they can pivot their financial actions to gain quicker traction Year after year of my financial growth and coaching I recognize that to improve your financial confidence you also must elevate your financial knowledge.

    Often, when you think about minimalism you think of scarcity. There is this vision of someone counting pennies, living in a super small home, driving a very old car, and not spending much on having fun.  When I started changing my financial life, I became a minimalist. Instead of having less though, I had a whole lot more. I had more… -Self-care days at the spa -Lunch outings -Personal development -Travel -Happy hours While I paid off debt, I was having the time of my life. I paid off over $70,000 in debt while living a full and fun life, by using minimalist principles with a twist.  For me, being a minimalist wasn't about having less- it was about doing more because I became incredibly good at managing my money. As the years went on, I made more and more money, leaving more left over for a bigger home, nicer car, and adventures without increased pressure or stress. This is one of the surprises my clients experience when working with me. They make a major shift that allows them to have a full life while changing their money forever. Today I am sharing my four inside tricks on how I put a twist on minimalist principles to live more abundantly.

Two things usually happen… You get discouraged because you read articles that make it sound like entrepreneurship is incredibly hard.  You start to get inundated with promotions saying that entrepreneurship is for everyone.  This episode is dedicated to the latter of the results of your Google search.

Like most of the ambitious women I work with, I was focused and giving so much to my career and earning potential that I was neglecting my internal signs.  It resulted in a stress induced illness. Then I fixed it, but the cycle remained.  I was very ambitious. I would work hard and give everything I had to my career and others, and internally I would be left with zero.

In my mind, there was a marriage between success and burn out.  At the time, I never met a woman that I thought was extremely successful that wasn't busy and stressed.  This interview is what I needed to listen to many years ago. This is a conversation with the incredible Christy Nichol, a Burn Out Recovery Specialist with a biology background. She understands the connection between the body and mind.

I am routined and my accounts are hefty. I also became popular because they offered me a new financial product each time I went and I would confidently turn it down. This went on for a couple of years.     Why did I turn it down? Because I knew that they made commission from every single account a customer opened.

But most of those services won't solve the very first step. Trust me when I say, proper education will accelerate your path to creating a stable and fun business. But if you choose the wrong help, you will be left confused.     You may be asking yourself “Well, what do I do?”   Let's start off with the basics, figuring out what you want your business to look like and let the rest fall into place. That's not to say that everything will align as soon as you've figured out that piece, but knowing clearly what you envision will guide you in the right direction and help you shut out the noise. From there you can find a business coach, course, or program that aligns with your vision.   In this episode, we'll go over: -How to discover the vision for your business -How to get and retain clients -Discover when you can afford to get help -How to market your business on social media   As entrepreneurs we often admire someone else's business success, but not every business model will work for you.

Kim's journey is definitely one that will touch many of you. Like a lot of us, she was uncertain about starting her business as a life coach. The “what ifs” started taking over and it was overwhelming to think that her business was going to succeed. What if: I can't afford to start my own business I don't get many clients   I can't live comfortably  I fail Listen to Kim tell us how she continues to learn about herself on this entrepreneurial journey and teaches others about who they are and how they can also improve and learn about their authentic selves while continuing to build her amazing business.  If you want to learn more about financial and/business coaching and how my work can help you, feel free to schedule a consultation by clicking here.

    Many of us have felt stuck in a job with a title we've held for years and don't see the benefits- the finish line where we can live comfortably and control our own time. In the back of your mind there is a thought, “I've done this job day in, day out. I know I could do it better on my own, but how?” Meet Maliek, my personal finance client, who realized that maybe if she built her own business, she would be able to accelerate her financial goals, including retirement. She knew that she had the capability of taking her years of experience as an employee and creating entrepreneurial magic.  After coming to our sessions, she set out to show up for herself instead of showing up for someone else. Once we looked at the numbers and created a plan for her to hit her goals without an external income source, she felt empowered to leverage her years of knowledge in her field and it would give her… flexibility in her life create wealth and opportunity build the freedom she was looking for Her results are amazing and have launched her into a brand new world and put her on the cusp of FINANCIAL FREEDOM!  There will always be a voice that tells us we're not ready to jump into the next chapter that will ultimately lead to our success. However, we need to listen to the quieter voice that tells us to trust ourselves and our strengths. Listen to see how Maliek decided this was HER time and what she's done since starting her new adventure.  If you are interested in speaking with me about creating a more powerful financial plan, click here!

    Jody Discovered How To Accelerate Her Financial Growth To A Forever Home, Retirement and Extreme Financial Stability

    Jody knew she needed money to live, to do everyday things. She never looked at money as a tool to be used to set her free…until she worked with me on her personal finances. We all at some point have known in the back of our minds that money is useful. But, at what point do we realize that money can be powerful? In today's interview, you'll hear Jody's story. Jody had been going to her sessions with me for a short amount of time before she understood what power money really holds. What we did together helped her understand this a lot faster than she imagined! This happens to a lot of my clients.  Why?! They finally are getting the knowledge to make their money work for them. Before Jody came to me she knew she wanted to: buy a forever home  retire build cash reserves And guess what?! Jody accelerated all of her goals, hitting most in a matter of months after working together.  Jody told me “It wasn't until I met you Kendall that a whole new light was shone on how money can be a tool that can benefit you- whatever stage of life you're in.”  A lot of people believe they won't reach a certain amount of success in terms of money because they're starting this journey later in life. Age is NOT a factor when you become financially liberated. You can make your money work for you whenever you're ready to begin. I'm just glad she picked up on this when we worked together. Jody is a book of knowledge now with her understanding of money and how it works for her and will continue to work for her in the years to come.  I invite you to listen to her amazing realization and thank her for sharing her story.
