So what do you do again?

When asked about the services I provide, depending on the situation at the time, there is my short answer or the long one. That being, "I teach people how to make better financial decisions, one person at a time", or "I help people to stop doing stupid things with their financial lives and teach them how to take smart steps, that will bring them greater prosperity and security". In short, I am in the instruction business. I help people build, rebuild, or remodel their financial lives. Inevitably, any further discussion turns to examples and anecdotes, so I decided to give an sample list of skills and outcomes of my mentor work with people. This is by no means a complete compilation, but rather a representation of real life learning achievement.

• Create a financial roadmap.
• Identify financial blind spots
• Improve your credit rating.
• Buy a car without being 'taken'.
• Learn vital money life behaviors & right actions.
• Evaluate pros & cons for better financial decision making.
• Establish greater communication over money matters between spouses.
  
• Acquire sudden lump sum wealth, windfall, or inheritance stewardship skills.
• Interpretation & translation of difficult or confusing financial terms and forms.
• Engage in creating a greater net worth and financial resilience & independence.

As a bonus, this transformational learning very often results in a dialing down of financial life frustration, anxiety, and worry. Hope this short list gives an initial idea of what can be accomplished with personal, hands on instruction. ~Steve
