Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself in the short video above. In case you didn’t watch it, please take a few minutes to do so, because it sets the foundation for my story below. I am convinced it can become your story!
When I was considering coaching, I wasn’t sure if I needed help and I was definitely hesitant. Like many of us, I had learned incorrectly that I needed to rely on myself and handle things on my own. Especially private things, like my finances. My difficulties with money left me feeling inadequate, insecure, and I was too proud to realize that I needed help. So, what made me overcome my hesitancy?
One day, I was sharing my money difficulties with a close friend who told me something that resonated with me and I knew it was true. They told me that I really only had two choices. The first choice was to stay in the financial situation I was in, quite possibly for the rest of my life. The other choice was to do whatever it took to make the necessary change. When we are facing a significant challenge that we are struggling to overcome there is rarely a third choice. I had tried to deal with the challenge on my own, but my success seemed to be minimal and temporary at best. Sometimes we all need help.
Getting rid of unnecessary financial stress and worry has significantly improved my family life and all my relationships. Solving my money problem gave me the time, energy, and clear mind I needed to improve my relationships with family and friends. It also improved my mental, emotional, and physical health. I was no longer exhausted from the stress of my financial situation or over-working. As a result, I had the time, energy and motivation to take care of myself.
My work life became much less stressful and I was able to relax at work. I was no longer under constant pressure to work harder or more hours, because I had a sustainable plan. I also had more time and energy to do the things I loved, because I no longer felt the constant pressure to over-work. I’m not exaggerating when I say that learning simple money truths has made every single area of my life easier and better.
I know you can make your life easier with these simple money truths, and I am confident I can help you succeed if you are ready for change. The easier life you really want is possible!
I believe in you,
