6 Reasons to Work with a Finance Coach

Finance coaching offers numerous benefits that can significantly impact your financial well-being and overall quality of life:

1. Financial Education:

Many education systems prioritise traditional academic subjects like maths, science, languages and the arts, but in most cases neglect practical life skills such as personal finance.

It's really unfortunate that young people are not given even the basic tools they need, let alone the education so desperately needed to help them navigate the complexities of the financial world.

Without adequate financial education, the implications of taking on debt or how to manage it responsibly are missed, which can cascade and create a lifetime of financial struggle.

A Finance Coach helps you understand basic and complex financial concepts in simple terms, empowering you to make informed decisions about your money. Typical areas we cover in our coaching include both both ' hard and soft' skills:

• Hard (Technical) Skills such as money management, account reconciling, asset building, property ownership/investment, debt management
• Soft Skills such as strategy, money beliefs, goal-setting/vision, problem-solving.

2. Goal Setting and Planning:

Without a goal, we are like a ship without a rudder being blow about the vast ocean. Setting financial goals provides a clear direction to get you from A to B and beyond. These goals provide measurable benchmarks to track, review and re-align your progress to your changing needs and circumstances.

A Finance Coach helps you clarify your financial goals and develop a realistic plan to achieve them. Whether you want to buy a home, build assets for the future, or pay off debt, a coach provides personalised guidance to help you reach your objectives.

3. Accountability and Motivation:

One of the primary roles of a finance coach is to keep you accountable. Studies show this accountability alone increases commitment (i.e. you have someone to show up for). You become more persistent and don't like to let others down. You feel supported and are motivated by your own progress.

A Finance Coach calls you to account, ensuring you stay on track with your financial goals, monitoring your progress and holds you accountable for your financial actions. A coach keeps you focused on your goals, encourages you to stick to your financial plan, and motivates you to make positive changes.

4. Financial Behaviour Change:

Many people struggle with unhealthy financial habits that hinder their progress toward financial success. Often we don't even realise we have certain beliefs or money patterns inhibiting us from the growth and changes we really want.

Have you ever stopped to challenge some of your own money beliefs? It's difficult especially if we don't even realise they are just a 'story' often made up due to a previous experience or even picked up along the way through hearsay.

A Finance Coach helps uncover the underlying beliefs, attitudes, and emotions that drive our financial decisions. Recognising our self-limiting beliefs or negative money scripts is the first step towards moving past what is holding us back from our true potential.

5. Maximise Your Resources:

We often have much of what we need right under our noses. Coaching is not about creating miracles overnight, it's optimising all the resources you currently have to make the necessary changes and progress you want financially.

Whether that's to earn more, invest, debt management, cutting unnecessary expenditure, early retirement whatever point you are at, growth is certainly available to everyone no matter your starting point.

A Finance Coach helps you make the most of your financial resources and see possibility where you may not.

6. Lifestyle Alignment:

Finance coaching isn't just about numbers; it's also about aligning your financial decisions with your values and priorities. Unless your plan and goals align with your values, you will miss the bullseye and be way off point. The lack of financial success can be due to a lack of congruence with what you stand for and what you think you want.

A Finance Coach helps you understand what really matters to you, allowing you to create a life that is rewarding and financially prosperous.

In Summary

Without financial guidance, it's hard to move past what's holding us back. We are not meant to struggle alone. Choosing not to move forward is stagnation or even retraction. Don't be someone who stagnates, be brave seek out those who have trodden the path you want to go down and opportunities will start to open for you.

Be wise, tap into their experience and knowledge and fast-track yourself forward.

Coaching is an INVESTMENT that will pay off multiple times over. It's there for the taking, all you have to do is open the door to your new future. Time waits for no-one.
