Podcasts about financial coaching

Many coaches think they need to be everywhere on social media, posting constantly and hoping their ideal clients will find them. But there's a problem with putting all your eggs in the social media basket: social media in 2025 is not the same social media from 10 years ago. And that means that growing a business on social media is leaving too much to chance.This week, we're talking about why email marketing matters more than ever for financial coaches (and, honestly, any business). You'll hear why your social media following isn't really yours and how one of the contractors in my business lost her entire Facebook account overnight. We'll also cover the six strategies that actually work for growing your email list, including the one approach that we often see coaches completely overlook.If you've been wondering how to get people to actually sign up for your list, or why your current strategy isn't working, this episode breaks down exactly what you need to know. From creating lead magnets that people actually want to understanding the psychology of what makes someone open your emails week after week.Plus, I'll share the biggest mistake coaches make with their email lists and the simple fix that can change everything. Whether you're just starting to build your list or looking to breathe new life into an existing one, you'll walk away with practical steps you can implement right away.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 93: Client Conversations with Nora SudduthEpisode 94: Build Trust to Attract Financial Coaching ClientsKey Takeaways:Your social media following is rented space, but your email list is property you actually own—and no algorithm change can take it away from you.Nobody wants another newsletter in their overflowing inbox. They want solutions to their problems, so lead with value, not volume.Email marketing delivers $35 for every $1 spent, while social media posts disappear into the void. That's why email is the foundation of a sustainable coaching business.The best lead magnet creates an immediate win: don't give them 17 steps to transformation, give them one thing they can implement today and see results.Stop asking, “Will you join my newsletter?” and start saying, “I have a resource that helps with exactly what you just mentioned. Can I send it to you?”Financial coaching requires nuance and depth that a social post can't deliver, but an email creates the private space people need to engage with sensitive money topics.The most important email strategy isn't how often you send or what day you choose; it's consistency and value in every single message that hits their inbox.

Josh and Amelie discuss various situations where people have limits to savings amounts due to governmental programs such as Medicaid or Disability. Top takeaways: Many of the limits are state-specific. Figure out what someone in this situation would need an emergency fund for–it might be fewer things than you think. Do not think of “savings” as a monolith–each individual problem should be tackled individually. ABLE accounts are similar to retirement accounts except that they're for disabled people and their families to be able to pay for specific expenses.

Starting a new career can be a challenge. In many instances, we have the opportunity to learn from a mentor or manager who can guide us in the right direction. And while I serve as a mentor for financial coaches, few have actually experienced or witnessed a financial coaching session. So I was thrilled when a member of our online community agreed to allow me to record a coaching session as I coached her around a financial decision she was trying to make. See, she had asked for input from our online community but received so many different responses she was actually further from a decision than before.I hope you'll tune in to this bonus episode and hear how we walk through Lydia's decision. I share a bit of what pre-work I did before the session and why I approached the session like I did. Please pardon the audio quality; this is the first of what I hope to be a number of examples of what a coaching session looks like in real time.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:The clarity required to make a confident financial decision comes not from avoiding the worst-case scenario, but from being fully prepared for it.When facing a major financial choice, ask yourself: Am I making this decision from a place of fear or from a place of purpose-driven growth?True financial courage isn't eliminating all risk—it's understanding exactly what you're risking and deciding it's worth the potential gain.Your relationship with money reveals itself most clearly when you articulate what you believe you'll gain from spending it.Indecision is exhausting; a clear “no” is often more empowering than a perpetual “maybe.”Financial coaching isn't about telling someone what's mathematically optimal; it's about guiding them to clarity through their own values and circumstances.The next time you're stuck in financial uncertainty, remember: The decision isn't the point. The process is the point.

Josh and Amelie discuss the second chapter of the Financial Counseling textbook by Durband, Law, and Mazzolini. Top takeaways: Financial knowledge is very baseline (what is a savings account). Financial literacy is the understanding of how to apply the knowledge. Financial literacy only really works when you're teaching people about things that are directly relevant to their lives at that point in time. Financial capability is the ability to actually implement the knowledge. Financial ratios are great, but many guidelines are situation-specific. It's important to be aware of potential scams to help your clients protect themselves. Be aware of the topics (taxes, insurance, investing, estate planning, etc.) that bring higher liability and may be legally regulated as far as what you are and are not allowed to discuss. Make sure you do some kind of continuing ed to stay on top of research, methods, scams, etc. Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

Financial coach and bookkeeper Amber Joy Pietrangelo never planned on having her own business after business classes in college completely turned her off from entrepreneurship.But now, Amber has created a unique coaching approach where bookkeeping and financial guidance blend seamlessly. In her own business. After struggling through multiple career and business shifts, Amber discovered her “magic sauce,” getting financial data organized and then helping clients truly understand what the numbers mean for their future decisions. What started as a search for purpose after personal struggles has evolved into her own authentic business model.Working as a CFO for a nonprofit while maintaining her coaching practice, Amber shares in this week's episode how she finally stopped trying to do business “the right way” and instead trusted her intuition. She says she's surrendered and allowed things to be what they are, contrasting her current confidence with her early days of trying to copy other successful coaches.For new financial coaches, Amber offers this wisdom: “Really listen to your own intuition and give yourself permission to follow it.” She believes businesses achieve longevity precisely because they embrace change rather than rigidly sticking to predetermined formulas.Listen in to hear how finding your own path, even when it's messy, leads to both personal fulfillment and a thriving practice that genuinely serves others.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupAmber's WebsiteKey Takeaways:Embrace your unique combination of skills rather than forcing yourself into a single professional identity.Trust your gut when building your business; the sooner you listen to your intuition instead of following others' formulas, the faster you'll find your authentic path.Connection beats promotion. One-on-one relationships and referrals create more stability than aggressive marketing tactics that don't align with your natural style.Your business model should make you feel good; if juggling multiple roles drains you, it's unsustainable, regardless of what the numbers say.Is your approach working? Ask yourself “How does this feel?” instead of just “Is this profitable?” to build a business that energizes rather than exhausts you.Businesses achieve longevity through embracing change, not by rigidly following initial plans when they no longer serve you.The magic isn't in getting the numbers right—it's translating those numbers into meaningful insights that help clients make better decisions.About Amy Joy PietrangeloAmber Joy Pietrangelo is a financial coach and bookkeeper who lives in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. After joining the Financial Coach Academy® in 2019 while searching for more purpose in her life, Amber has built a unique coaching practice that combines her accounting background with intuitive coaching. She currently works as a CFO for a local nonprofit while supporting women with service-based businesses through her coaching and bookkeeping services. In this interview, she shares insights about her business model, her journey of finding her authentic coaching style, and advice for new coaches.

Josh and Amelie discuss the first chapter of the Financial Counseling textbook by Durband, Law, and Mazzolini. Top takeaways: Many AFCs work on military bases, in non-profits, or in private practice, but there are also opportunities in banks, schools, hospitals, and more. For one-time engagements, technology isn't as important, but for longer-term engagements, most clients are going to expect some kind of budgeting technology. Counselors should be careful about building codependent, ongoing relationships with clients. Building relationships with other professionals is important so you can refer out.

Patti shares how the Key Financial approach helps clients feel empowered, prepared, and confident about their future, no matter where they are starting from.

Are you wrapping up clients' final sessions with an awkward “goodbye and good luck”? You might be missing the biggest opportunity in your coaching business.We continue our series on delighting clients this week by focusing on what happens after their formal program ends. Financial wellness isn't a destination—it's a lifelong journey with new challenges at every stage. By maintaining meaningful relationships with past clients, you create both ongoing value for them and sustainable growth for your practice.Think about it: your past clients already know your value. They've experienced the transformation you provide firsthand. When you create intentional ways to stay connected, these relationships become the foundation of a thriving, sustainable business where you're not constantly chasing new leads.In this episode, we break down the three essential components of a great off-boarding process: the celebration session that highlights client progress, documenting their journey as a touchstone they can return to, and providing a success toolkit that equips them for continued growth on their own.We also explore two proven models for ongoing support. The periodic coaching program offers flexible check-ins that evolve as clients progress—starting monthly, then quarterly, and eventually semi-annual—focusing on strategic planning rather than budgeting basics. For some practices, a community membership program creates connections between clients on similar journeys.Beyond these formal touch points, we share practical ways to stay meaningfully connected through your connection calendar and regular communication that feels personal, not promotional.The most powerful outcome of these strategies? A natural referral culture where clients enthusiastically share their experience with others. Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupGet your Client Journey RoadmapKey Takeaways:The celebration session transforms a final meeting into a powerful launch pad for clients' independent success by highlighting their growth journey and newfound skills.Document your clients' progress throughout the coaching relationship—it becomes their touchstone during future financial challenges when you're not there.Periodic coaching evolves with your clients' needs: monthly → quarterly → semi-annual, focusing less on budgeting mechanics and more on being their strategic thinking partner.Your clients don't stop needing guidance after their program. Rather, they need different guidance as new life stages bring fresh financial challenges they've never navigated before.To increase your referral rate, stop asking for referrals and start creating client experiences so transformative they naturally want to share you with others.The most meaningful client communications aren't about your business news. They address the specific financial concerns of people already managing money well.Financial stability in your coaching business starts with client relationship stability; when past clients become your marketing department, algorithm changes can't touch your growth.

Josh and Emily discuss how to collect feedback from clients at the end of your work together. Top takeaways: Have a plan for what to do with ALL the data you gather–don't ask a question if there's not something specific to do with that info. People who loved you or hated you are the most likely to fill the survey out. The shorter a survey is, the more likely it is that people will fill it out. You need to think about how to ask the question as much as what to ask. Consider getting an unbiased opinion on your questions so they're less emotionally charged.

Are you caught checking client emails on family movie night or waking up at 3 a.m. worried you forgot to send that follow-up? Your love for financial coaching might be getting buried under a mountain of admin tasks.As coaches, we're drawn to this work because we want to help people transform their relationship with money. But the reality is that running a business involves so much more than just coaching sessions. There's follow-ups, reminders, contracts, payments, forms, and dozens of other little tasks that can quickly overwhelm you.The good news? You don't need to figure this all out on day one. When you're just starting out, keeping things simple is actually better. Don't let tech distract you from what will truly move the needle in your business: talking with people, marketing, and focusing on getting results for your clients.But as your coaching practice grows, you'll start to notice the warning signs that it's time to level up your systems. Maybe you feel anxious that you're forgetting important client details. Perhaps you've caught yourself missing emails or deadlines because the small tasks are falling through the cracks. Or you might find yourself constantly pulled away from family time because you suddenly remembered something urgent you forgot to do for a client.In this week's episode, I walk through the essential tech tools that can transform how your business runs, when exactly to add each one, and how much they really cost. I'll also share why I don't recommend the all-in-one options that initially seem so appealing (and why I'm grateful they weren't available when I started).Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Start with just a scheduling software. Everything else can wait until you actually need it, so you can focus on what moves the needle: talking to people and getting results.Feeling anxious about forgetting client details? That's not just stress—it's your business telling you it's time for better systems.Don't put all your tech eggs in one basket; separate tools that communicate with each other provide better service and less risk than all-in-one platforms.Your business deserves proper tools—$47-67 monthly for professional systems is a small price to pay for hours saved and stress avoided.Systems are about organization creating the mental space to actually enjoy coaching again instead of drowning in admin tasks.When family time gets interrupted because you suddenly remembered a client task, it's not a work ethic problem; it's a systems problem.The right tech tools don't just make your life easier, they will transform your client experience from “she seems disorganized” to “wow, she's incredibly professional.”

Josh and Amelie discuss credit cards–how do you build good habits? The strategies are slightly different Top takeaways: The proper way to use a credit card is to use it exactly like a debit card–use it for everyday purchases and pay it off every month. For new users (whether brand new or people who have had debt recently), start with something small and simple–put gas purchases on your card, pay the statement in full every month. For new users, keep the limit relatively low and don't necessarily increase the limit. For experienced users (made full payments every month for 24 months), you can start adding in multiple cards and rewards and all of that kind of thing. If you're trying to start over, stop using cards and get to the point where balances are consistently going down. Then get a new card with a low limit or a paid off card with a low limit and go back to using it for one type of simple purchase each month (like gas).

I don't think I need to tell you about the chaos social media has experienced lately. Meta goes down from time to time. Instagram suddenly changed square feeds to vertical graphics with no warning. TikTok's future remains uncertain.It's too much to keep up with, and even if you understand the “rules,” they're bound to change in the coming months. While there's still value in social media, we can't really rely on it.In this episode, I'm sharing why email marketing needs to be the absolute foundation of your financial coaching business—not social media. While social media platforms constantly shift and change, email marketing remains rock solid, giving you direct relationships with your audience that you actually own and control.I've watched coaches pour endless hours into building their social media following, using all the right hashtags and following trends, but struggle to convert followers into paying clients. Email marketing changes that equation completely. When someone checks their email, they're in a completely different mindset than when scrolling social media—more focused and intentional with their time.Ready to build your email marketing foundation? Listen in for two practical approaches you can start using today, plus a third option to work toward as your business grows.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Building your business on social media? You're renting property on shaky ground where the landlord changes rules without notice.Your email list is the only marketing asset you truly own—take control of your business future by starting to build it today.When was the last time someone replied to your social post? One email brought me 78 replies from engaged potential clients.Financial decisions require privacy—email creates the safe space your audience needs to engage with sensitive money topics.Want to welcome new subscribers properly? Create a simple 3-email sequence that delivers value, shares your approach, and offers a quick win.Email marketing creates consistency. Replace feast-or-famine client acquisition with steady relationship building that keeps you top of mind.Start where you are: begin with regular emails OR a welcome sequence, then work toward the hybrid approach as your confidence grows.

Josh and Emily discuss discounts. What happens when you offer discounts, when to offer discounts, alternatives to discounts…and so much more! Top takeaways: Offering a discount can lead to a lot of different places, both positive or negative. If you want to offer pro bono services, have a policy in place about what criteria might need to be met; do not decide on the spot. Lowering your pricing or offering discounts will not increase the number of people who see your business. Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

#265  In this episode of Your Fitness Money Coach Podcast, I'm joined by fitness coach and writer Andrew Coates for a thought-provoking discussion about focusing on the person in front of you, rather than getting caught up in the pressure to "scale." Andrew dives into the importance of listening to your clients and using their questions to inspire your content. We also talk about the value of investing in yourself, which Andrew sees as essential for unlocking your true earning potential. What You'll Learn: Why "scaling" might not be the answer—focusing on quality over quantity and the benefits of serving clients directly. How client questions can be a powerful content creation tool to connect deeper with your audience. The importance of investing in yourself—how personal growth and learning can directly translate into business success and higher earnings. The role of financial mastery in building a sustainable fitness business that thrives long term. The Power of Live Events The BEST way to set up one-on-one client payments Resources Mentioned: Andrew Coates' website Andrew's Instagram

Amelie and Josh discuss top takeaways from the inaugural State of Financial Coaching survey! Top takeaways: Coaches with niches have more paying clients and higher prices. Counselors with high revenue have niches. Year 1 revenue is REALLY BAD across the board (less than minimum wage bad). Many coaches with high revenue have some form of training and recognized credentials. Counselors with high revenue growth use active prospecting–networking events, contacting referral partners, etc. Coaches with high revenue growth usually have structured programs. Coaches with high revenue growth invest in their businesses.

"Not a single person on their deathbed says, 'I really wanted to get to a net worth of $1.5 million and I only got to 1 million, and I'm so upset.'" Dr. Jordan Grumet, author of "The Purpose Code," challenges us to rethink what truly matters when it comes to money and purpose.Jordan found his path to medicine after losing his father unexpectedly, and this personal experience gave him a unique perspective that now shapes how he helps others think about wealth, purpose, and what truly matters.This week on the podcast, Jordan, a hospice doctor, shares what people actually regret at the end of their lives (hint: it's never about not having enough money). Instead, they wish they had found the courage to pursue experiences and activities that lit them up.We explore the difference between "big P purpose" (those anxiety-inducing, goal-oriented dreams) and "little p purpose" (the everyday activities that bring us joy and fulfillment). Jordan explains why focusing on the process rather than the outcome often leads to more satisfaction.For financial coaches, this conversation offers a great perspective on how to help clients balance their pursuit of financial goals with living purposefully today. Jordan challenges the idea that spending money must always have a direct financial ROI and suggests instead that "happy money comes in, and then it behooves you to put happy money back out there."Whether you're a financial coach looking to better serve your clients or someone searching for more meaning in your own life, this conversation will help you rethink your approach to purpose and wealth.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupThe Purpose Code by Dr. Jordan Grumet Visit Dr. Jordan Grumet's website  Listen to Earn and InvestHappy Money by Ken HondaKey Takeaways:Purpose isn't something you find after achieving financial goals—it's what you create through small, everyday activities that light you up.Check your calendar: Are most entries activities you loathe or activities that energize you? Your answer reveals how purposeful your life truly is.Money isn't the goal; it's simply a tool to help you spend more time doing things that matter and less time doing things you hate.No one on their deathbed regrets not reaching a higher net worth—they regret not having the courage to pursue experiences that mattered to them.When clients say "I want financial freedom," ask "why?" repeatedly until you uncover the real purpose they're seeking beneath the numbers.The achievement treadmill keeps you chasing bigger goals while never feeling "enough"—step off by finding joy in the process rather than fixating on outcomes.Little purpose creates big happiness when it connects you with others—the strongest predictor of a fulfilled life isn't wealth but meaningful relationships.

Stepping onto a stage or speaking in front of an audience can be intimidating, but mastering public speaking is a game-changer for building confidence, authority, and wealth. For Andy Haynes—award-winning property investor, former BBC presenter, and founder of Speaking Success—effective communication has opened doors to new opportunities and lasting connections.In this episode, Chris Rodwell and Andy explore the key strategies for becoming a confident speaker, including storytelling techniques, maintaining audience engagement, and using public speaking to elevate your brand. They also discuss how to turn nerves into a powerful asset, the importance of preparation, and why positioning yourself as a speaker can unlock joint ventures and business growth.If you're looking to improve your communication skills, build your personal brand, or use public speaking as a tool for wealth creation, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you take the stage with confidence.Tune in now and start mastering the art of public speaking!Resources Mentioned In This Episode: >> Andy Haynes [LinkedIn]>> No More Rent: The First Time Buyer's Key to Unlocking Home Ownership [Amazon]>> Speaking Success w/ Andy HaynesNext Steps On Your Wealth Building Journey: >> Join the WealthBuilders Facebook Community >> Schedule a 1:1 call with one of our team >> Become a member of WealthBuilders  If you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

You know that sneaky trap called the “excellence zone”? It's those tasks you're pretty good at, maybe even enjoy a little? For me, it was organizing client financials into spreadsheets and setting up systems. The trap is that because you're good at it, it's easy to keep doing it yourself. Even when it's time to let it go.But every minute you spend there is a minute you're not spending in your true zone of genius. That's the sweet spot where you're making the impact you wanted to make when you first went into business.This week, I'm sharing what happens in these two zones after you hire your first team member. And it might not be what you think. I learned the hard way that trying to train my first hire while maintaining my full client load was like trying to build a house while also running a marathon. Something's got to give.I'll walk you through our practical seven-step training process that takes more time up front but means you're catching fewer errors on the back end and putting out a lot fewer fires later. You'll learn why blocking off 20% of your client hours during training is actually an investment in an amazing new team member, not a loss of time or revenue.Some of our biggest leaps forward at Fiscal Fitness, my own coaching practice, happened after I learned to let go and trust my team. Now imagine if all your time was spent just coaching clients. How would that feel? That is possible for you, and I'll show you how to get there step by step.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Hiring your first support person might actually be harder than launching your business because you're learning a completely new skill set while still running everything.Your “excellence zone” is a sneaky trap. Those tasks you're good at keep you from your true zone of genius where your business actually grows.Create a “rainy day project” for your new hire. They need productive work when waiting for your input, not just idle time.Before bringing someone on, set up a growth fund. Small savings now will cushion the temporary revenue dip later.Scheduled check-ins work better than constant availability. Try 9 a.m., noon, and 4 p.m. meetings instead of answering questions all day.Let them teach it back to you. When they demonstrate what they've learned, you'll see what they've truly absorbed.Trust unlocks growth. Some of your biggest business leaps will happen only after you learn to let go and truly trust your team.

Josh and Amelie discuss the conversation around getting a loan. When does it make sense, and when does it not make sense? Top takeaways: The first–and most important question–is “why do you want to spend this money?” It's also very important to weigh the cost of interest versus the benefits of having it sooner. Another question is “will this help you build wealth?” It's also worth considering interest rates, impact on taxes, opportunity cost Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

You've got a client who's ready to work with you—they've paid for their first session and now you're feeling those pre-session nerves. Sound familiar?In this episode, we talk about what's really going on in your client's mind when they show up for that first paid session (hint: they're probably more nervous than you are). I share the exact structure I use to make sure every client leaves their first session feeling heard, hopeful, and clear on their next steps.From creating a warm welcome that puts your clients at ease, to helping them see their full financial picture (often for the first time), we cover how to make your first paid sessions truly valuable for your clients. I share my biggest mistakes and what I learned from them, so you can skip the trial and error phase I went through.Plus, I walk through our follow-up system that keeps clients engaged and taking action even after the session ends. Whether you're new to paid sessions or looking to make your current process even better, this episode will help you create an experience that has your clients saying “they get me” and ready to take the next step in their journey.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 91Key Takeaways:Want your clients to open up about money? Start by acknowledging their courage - it takes guts to share your finances with a stranger and pay them for help.Trying to solve every financial problem in one session isn't generous, it's overwhelming. Pick their most exciting goal and solve it completely.Your clients can sense when you're in your head worrying about delivering value. Their emotional rollercoaster is 10 times bigger than yours.Numbers tell a story, but you need to narrate it out loud. Walk clients through your thinking process so they can see how you got to the solution.The magic isn't in telling clients to spend less, it's in finding their big goal that makes them excited enough to actually change their habits.When a client shares multiple money goals, celebrate internally. They're showing you they have a genuine need for ongoing coaching, so don't try to tackle all those goals at once.Your follow-up system is a safety net that catches clients before they fall off track. Make it systematic but personal, like checking in when reality and procrastination typically hit.

Josh and Emily discuss fintech “banks” through the lens of Yotta's collapse. Should we be steering clients away from fintechs? How do you evaluate the security of a fintech? Top takeaways: Using a fintech doesn't necessarily mean it'll take longer to get your money back if the underlying bank goes under. You do have liability as a coach if you advise a product/fintech etc. that goes under and causes your client to lose money etc. If there's a substantial (greater than 1%) higher interest rate on an interest-bearing account, it might be worth considering switching to a different fintech/bank/etc. It's always important to weigh the “cool new thing” with the security of “old standard.” Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

(Spoiler: probably not.) How much should you spend on your first domain name? And what happens if you start with a basic website builder but want to switch platforms later?Ginnie also shares her practical insights on choosing colors and creating content that actually connects with your ideal clients.

This is your digital real estate that costs just $10-20 per year but establishes your professional identity.Your website gives you credibility. Even a simple one-page site proves you exist when someone checks after getting a referral.Don't overthink your starter website; begin with just home, about, and contact pages rather than getting stuck in perfectionism.Skip the blog when starting out—an outdated blog signals neglect, while no blog at all goes unnoticed.Ensure your website reflects who you actually are; a disconnect between your bubbly personality and a sterile website confuses potential clients.Your website is a breathing, living tool—neglecting it for months is like abandoning your 24/7 marketing representative.Drive traffic back to your website from newsletters and other channels—more traffic means higher search engine rankings and greater visibility.

Josh and Amelie discuss things to think about when separating from federal government jobs. Top takeaways: Before deciding whether to take a separation package, try to take the emotion out and instead think about what you want the next phase of your life to look like. If you're going through a big career transition, think of your next position as a transitional and perhaps temporary job. The first, voluntary package is always better than the non-voluntary package. Everything is negotiable–you may or may not get what you're trying to negotiate but there's nothing wrong with asking. As soon as you are no longer employed, apply for unemployment. Figure out what the deadlines for COBRA are. Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

When I sat down to plan this 100th episode, I knew I wanted to do something special—something that came straight from you, our community. So we asked what you really wanted to know about building a financial coaching business, and wow, did you deliver!From questions about leaving a stable job to start coaching (and when that's the right move), to figuring out how to get more discovery calls booked, to managing a successful business solo, we're tackling the real stuff that keeps you up at night.On this special 100th episode, I'm sharing what I learned from my own journey, including some “I wish someone had told me this” moments about growing a coaching practice. You'll hear practical advice about things like how much runway you might want before leaving your day job, what marketing actually works (hint: it's probably not what you think), and even which paid software made the biggest difference in my business.Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your existing practice, this episode gets into the thick of what it really takes to build a coaching business that fits your life. No fluff, no fancy strategies—just real talk about what works, what doesn't, and how to figure out which path is right for you.Thank you so much for being a part of this adventure with me!Links & Resources:Join the Facebook groupWhy to start with one-to-one coachingUnderstanding advanced goal setting with long-term clientsThe Ultimate Growth Guide SeriesLearning different business models through trial and errorClient acquisition and marketing discussion with NoraStrategic partnerships and leveraging existing audiencesTime management and wearing different business "hats"Acuity schedulingKey Takeaways:Starting your coaching business while you have a day job gives you the freedom to be selective with clients.

When a potential client reaches out to you about financial coaching, they're often feeling worried and doubtful. They might even be telling themselves they're “too far gone” for help. That's exactly why those first interactions matter so much.In this episode, we're talking about how to handle those early conversations with confidence (even if you're feeling nervous on the inside). You'll hear about practical, affordable tools that help you look professional from day one, and why making actual phone calls—yes, real phone calls!—can be a game-changer for connecting with potential clients.For newer coaches who worry about being too pushy, we're sharing a simple three-touch system that takes the guesswork out of following up. You'll learn why timing these follow-ups every two weeks (hint: it has everything to do with when people get paid) can make a huge difference in converting interested people into clients.I'm also sharing the exact welcome sequence we use at Fiscal Fitness, my own financial coaching practice, to help new clients feel supported and excited about their decision to work with us. These are the same strategies I used when I was just starting out, before I had a team to help me.Remember what I always say—consistency beats complexity every time. You don't need to implement everything at once. Start with one thing, master it, then add another. That's how you build a coaching practice that truly serves your clients while feeling manageable for you.This is the first part of our special series on delighting your clients, and you won't want to miss what's coming next.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupClient Journey RoadmapEpisode 97: Working On Your Business vs Working In itKey Takeaways:A confused buyer doesn't buy, so keep your initial communications clear and simple, without overwhelming them with details.Looking professional doesn't have to be expensive—$16 a month covers both a business email and phone line to start looking established.When clients ghost you, remember this: they're most likely to respond two weeks after your last contact, right when their paycheck is running low.Your quick audit call isn't for coaching. It's a 15-20 minute conversation to see if you're the right fit for each other.Those early “I messed that up” moments on client calls? They're not failures—they're your path to becoming a better coach.The best time to ease buyer's remorse is right after they say yes—a simple welcome call can transform doubt into excitement.Your client's belief in what's possible with money starts by borrowing yours.
