CELEBRATING NATIONAL WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS MONTH

Starting your own business is not easy for anyone. When I decided to leave my 16-year career at a local non-profit organization, I remember how many of my colleagues said, "You are so brave." At that point, I didn't know that I would be running my own financial coaching practice. The idea of leaving was brave enough. 

Fast forward a few months when I decided to start my own business, everything seemed easy. It was a bunch of logistics. Get the business license, build a website, meet people, talk about my business and BAM! Overnight success!!!

As many of you already know building a business does not happen overnight. So many of you have worked hard for years building your real estate company, gymnastics company, coaching practice, marketing company, bookkeeping company, consulting company and so many more. 

This newsletter is dedicated to those women who are or have done the hard thing of starting, running and growing their business. If you have your own Etsy shop or you started a business and decided to close it, you also did the BRAVE thing. 

I recently had the opportunity to interview a few local business owners at the Leadership Spokane Regional Economy Day. These women are incredibly talented and are taking the lead in keeping our community thriving by growing their businesses. From real estate, to business consulting and gymnastics, we are changing what local entrepreneurship looks like! I'm so proud to be in such great company!

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH

A FINANCIAL COACH

I had the pleasure of meeting with a Ramsey Preferred Financial Coach who is also a Financial Advisor last week. My jaw dropped to learn how many people's lives had been impacted. Sure, getting on track by budgeting can improve relationships, prevent financial hardships and help people plan for the future. 

What this coach shared is that they had impacted over 600 families, that the clients had paid off millions of dollars in debt, and by serving these families,   suicides, divorces and bankruptcies were prevented. 

I'm honored to be among hundreds of financial coaches in the United States who serve their clients so significantly. If you're ready to explore how working with me as your financial coach could change everything for you and your family, don't delay one more moment...reach out today. 

HOW IS MOTIVATION AND PROGRESS RELATED?

How often have you said, "I'll do that when I'm motivated or inspired?" How often do you actually "get motivated or inspired" to do something?

Learn about the relationship between motivation and progress in this week's blog post!
