Why a Money Coach?

First of all who is a money coach? A money coach is a professional who combines sound psychological and coaching principles with practical financial coaching to help people positively transform their relationship with money. Some months back, I referred one of my clients to a money coach. She became overwhelmed with her spending style and required someone who can work with her in undertaking the necessary steps to break the years of negative spending patterns.

Other reasons your clients may need a money coach is:

1. If clients want information regarding how much money they need to retire.  Having that information will enable them have a realistic plan to transition into that next phase of life successfully.
2. If clients want to stop worrying about their financial future and begin saving money while also improving their investment strategy.
3. If your clients maintain balances on their credit cards? If they are behind on paying their credit cards and other bills, they will need a money coach to assist them in getting a grip on their finances.
