My Beginning

Today I'd like to share how I got started in Money Coaching.  As a child some of my favorite things to do were to plan and to dream/design.  I loved to re-design my room, or design my future house (still one of my favorite things to do), and planning showed up in the way of color coding my calendar, and planning for "big" purchases.  As a child that meant music and clothes, then later on snow board trips.  And eventually I would begin to save up for traveling.  Traveling was something I had grown up with, and is still a very big part of my life.  So even though the amount of money I needed was a very large amount, that I did not understand where that money would come from I would still save.
I knew someday I would get there.  This a mindset that has served me very well.  One that I had taken for granted.  Now that I am a Money Coach, I see just how critical your mindset is.  

At 10 years old I began my first "job" doing Olympia Sales Catalogue.  I'd see to my nice neighbors that wanted to support me.  But this is where I made up my saving system, so that I have money for everything I want.  I did not know who Dave Ramsey was until many years later, but it was his system, basically. But a snowball method for saving.  I set my minimums,  and added percentages, then when I met my minimum all of that money for that category went to another category.

Fast forward through highschool and college, I worked and saved my money, I always had money for what I wanted.  I took out a student loan, just like I thought was normal and went off to college.  After college my priority was travel, and I made it happen.  I wasn't until my late 20's that I looked at my situation in the face, and realized I was not where I wanted to be.  So then I decided to buckle down and become debt free.  Because of college and a car loan, I owed about $40,000.  With my income at the time I calculated it would take me about 10-15 years to pay it off, nevermind saving.  I paid it off in 4 years.  

For my income that was impressive.  Sometimes I felt on top of it, and sometimes I felt like it was so far away.  But I stuck to my system and it worked.  It was my coach who pointed out how impressive that was, and that not a lot of people can do that.  I thought it was normal, and anybody can accomplish anything they want if they put their mind to it (at the time).  Now I see how past conditioning and beliefs are sometimes a giant subconscious block, that drive our decisions.  Sometimes we think we are making a good decision and it is actually sabotaging, but we can't see it because of our conditioning.

So my coach pointed out that I am really good with money, and not many people could become 100% debt free as fast as I did, and she recommended I look into Money Coaching.  It was as if it was meant to be.  From the day I decided I wanted to do money coaching to day 1 of the program was one week.  I began the program and working with a money coach myself.  I felt like I found my calling, it was a wonderful excited home feeling.  All of my practice clients (a requirement of the program) improved in their money situation in some way.  Some manifested a cheaper and more beautiful and fulfilling apartment, some, more clients without any advertising and a lawsuit settlement that they had grown hopless of getting closed, another the confidence to raise the price of her services.  And the work continues to pay off, as I can see that the shifts that occurred because of working together, and guided several decisions and events towards greater financial health and abundance for them.  I am so thankful to have helped each one, to reduce a big stress and receive more abundance.

Since my certification I have worked with several other clients, and enjoyed watching their growth and success.  And I have started a new coaching program with Rachel Jayne Groover, the Art of Feminine Presence.  (Any good coach, continues to do the work on themselves)  So eventually I will be able to teach this in combination with money coaching, for an even bigger shift!  

Shifts often bring the result of more money, and easier life, more fulfillment, better health, quicker manifesting....  How it shows up is very individual.  Our desires and preferences vary greatly.

So now I am constantly expanding towards even greater fulfillment and abundance, as I work with clients to do the same!
