How I Built a Thriving Financial Coaching Community From Scratch
When it all came crashing down
When I look back at 2012, it was the best year of my life because every fear I had come through. My second son was in and out of hospitals due to sleep apnea and a hole in his heart. I was fired from a very high level job and didn't know what to do next with my career. My savings was dwindling and my debt was expanding. I wasn't sleeping through the night, partly due to worry and partly due to my baby's tendency to stop breathing in the night. In 2012, I knew the internet existed and I knew how to put a portfolio together for clients who wanted to grow their portfolio. I didn't know the two of them could go together. I didn't realize I could help thousands of people escape the confusion and mental fog that I was facing in 2012.
So in 2012, I started wondering what my career was really about. Could I work the next 30 years building generic portfolios for bank clients or doing generic marketing for general clients without making a real contribution to the personal success of others? And if I focused on getting a job rather than building a career, would that limit my earning potential?
It was at this point in 2012 as I sat on my bed, holding my two little sons and crying while battling depression that I realized something had to change. What I truly wanted was to be a helping professional in the area of financial success. I knew there was a process and strategies to build wealth, I knew I was totally distracted by corporate reports to focus on building my wealth. And I knew my sons depended on me to heal my inner wounds that lead to the depression, learn more about investing to build wealth and learn how to be a better parent in a family with special needs. If I treated #Motherhood like an #asset and #personaldevelopment in #investing, #realestate, and the like as #investments, I would be able to follow the purpose and passions I had for my own life.
So I knew what I had to do - I invested in #coaching. And not just one type of #coaching. In order to be my #bestself, I had to embrace all my aspects to raise my #moneyvibration through #creation. I started by getting coaching to lift my #investingskills in #realestate, #stockmarketingtrading, #financialstrategy. Next, I learned about #NLP to improve my understadning of #success. Then I worked on my #creativity. So #creation to raise my #moneyvibration. And then I started #FinanciallyFocused as a #financialsuccess community.
But my dreams quickly turned into a nightmare! #FinanciallyFocused went #oldschool first!!!! I did not start my business as an online information business. I went into traditional television and I did not create courses to serve my audience. I was on the #sponsorship model of #television which meant that I wasn't engaging my audience in a heart felt way. I was seeking to please my sponsors. I was creating content for the highest bidder. I did not feel like a helping professional. I felt like the oldest profession. And so I burnt out quickly. I stopped promoting the television show. I stopped asking for sponsorship. I just stopped. Talk about embarrassing. I was at the end of my rope.
It wasn’t until I implemented my coaching program at www.financiallyfocusedcoaching.com that I was able to finally turn my mess into a success and become the helping professional that has turned many lives around and lead them out of the shadows that I once was in..
Now, I have a successful course creation business, sold-out events and amazing clients I get to work with every single day.
I didn’t know it was possible to build a 6-figure business doing what I love.
There is nothing special about me or what I do. I’m not famous. I'm not a genius. I'm not even lucky! (even though I do feel like I've won the lottery).
And now I get to help other professionals and investors take their financial success to the next level. It's not about doing just enough. Its about the conversations that empower you to see new strategies for investing what you have to achieve even more.
As bad/unlucky/crazy as your current circumstances are... As much as you think that success is not possible for you… I want you to know that you CAN have everything you have ever desired and more…You can have your dream life.I did it.
