INTRODUCING

Personalized Financial Coaching

Choosing a life of diligence with money involves a long-term strategy of determination, patience, investment in your future, discipline, and faith with the goal of financial peace.

Here is what you get:

  • The Coaching Sessions are about you, your money, and your goals.  We will discuss an action plan, a budget and focus on what is important to you.  I will send forms to begin creating a financial plan, a form to get a snapshot of your current financial status, and a workbook to start paying off debt.
  • If you prefer electronic tracking, I may ask you to invest in a reasonably priced software program to track your income and spending.  Ask me how to get a discount on the Ramsey Every Dollar app for paying clients.  I may not always mention this option; it is available for clients to ask.  If you prefer paper to track your finances, I can provide you with the electronic files to print a budget.
  • I ask that you not be afraid to ask questions.  I may not know all of the answers immediately, but I have surrounded myself with colleagues and local professionals I trust and are willing to help. I’m happy to provide referrals to my clients for other professionals and I am continuously building that network
  • We will develop an action plan that will help you focus on your current financial status, determine what you value most concerning money, and establish your personal financial goals.  We will determine where your strengths are with managing money and where there are improvement needs. 

Coaching is for you if:

  • You are tired of working hard for your income but never enough money.
  • Ready to commit to taking control of your finances.
  • Ready to dive deeper into financial responsibility by planning for your future.
  • You want more peace in your relationships
  • You want to be able to say YES without regret and guilt that you couldn’t really afford it.
  • Ready to change your life, your future and your legacy.

Coaching is NOT for you if:

  • You don’t care where your money is going, you just want to have a good time.
  • You are not willing to show up for your meetings and yourself.
  • You aren’t concerned about anything past this week’s paycheck.
  • You don’t care about how your spouse or others around your feel about your relationship with money
  • You don’t care about the financial impact of saying yes even if you don’t have the money, it’s only money and there’s one life to live.
  • You’re only concerned about yourself. You had to work hard and you’re still broke. Your children or future children can figure it out for themselves.

Meet your coach

Hi! I’m Melinda, and I am thrilled that you are considering coaching!

As a financial coach, it is my job to help you get a clear perspective on what issues are important in your life.  I will help you prepare a plan starting where you are now and create goals to reach where you want to be financially within the next six months, one year, five years, and on.

I had a lady say to me, “I need a Financial Coach as much as I need a Personal Trainer in a gym”  That statement resonated with me! I will be your accountability partner just as a personal trainer coaches clients in the gym.

Working with a coach helps you determine how much income you have, how much you are spending, and how to allocate your money to match income and your financial goals.

“I discovered that I always had a choice, and sometimes it was only a choice in attitude.”  J.M Knowlton
