Greetings!
   
Do you ever sometimes hesitate these days to say, “How are you doing?” I find myself almost laughing at that question because we are all struggling with so many challenges right now that I am not even sure how to answer. We almost have to give ourselves permission to say things are not going great.
 
This month’s theme for our newsletter is centered around choosing the right professionals for help. Our featured blog post is titled, “I Didn’t Know You Help With That!” and relates to a situation I encountered last week. It’s better to get advice earlier rather than later most of the time. Debt Therapy® also has a new episode on what a financial planner does, how they get paid, and how to choose one to help with your planning.
 
While life is complicated these days, choose the right professionals to get you through the tough times.


Jen

BLOG OF THE MONTH
I Didn't Know You Help With That!

I always say that one of the most frequent sayings I hear is, “I didn’t know…” and it happened again on Friday.
I was reminded this week that people may not realize how we help individuals and business owners with debt and credit strategy (or maybe what that means). A networking partner reached out to me to ask when I would get involved with a business that has not been able to operate due to COVID-19 and had some debt they were worried about how to pay ( read more ).
