In working with clients, I often am acting as a personal trainer in truth. A weak money life can cause
confidence killing emotions, especially when you feel like you have no choices.
This can lead to fear, worry, and insecurity. Consider though, that anxiety is a natural reaction to moving closer to a not well understood reality. Look your self in the mirror and ask yourself, "How did I get here"? The answer: Daily actions and defining decisions.

This can lead to fear, worry, and insecurity. Consider though, that anxiety is a natural reaction to moving closer to a not well understood reality. Look your self in the mirror and ask yourself, "How did I get here"? The answer: Daily actions and defining decisions.
The good news is that we are all just one defining decision away from life on a different track. Action is the only way to positively influence your circumstances. Having a personal financial educator and coach to walk along side, guiding you to a better result, can give you courage for the journey.
Real life feedback from some that have chosen the path to financial health and wholeness:
"We didn't feel judged for the situation we were in when we started working together.
You reminded us that we couldn't be expected to know, what we never learned to
begin with. Thank you being our very own financial 'go to' guy through good times
and bad. We look forward to continued improvement through learning with you,
into the future." {Husband~age 38~computer repair/IT support, Wife~age 36~

"Thank you for the wisdom given to us when we received our unexpected inheritance.
Your guidance has helped us turn what surely would have been a temporary windfall,
into a lifelong blessing for our family. Seeking your counsel was the best thing we
could have done. We consider you our 'money dude' for life!" {Husband~age 26~

"Your assistance to me in seeing for the first time what I didn't know, has been
invaluable in helping to turn my financial life around. I did not realize how much
I needed someone who genuinely cared about me, to tell me the truth, and identify
my blind spots. Now I am looking forward to carrying on this season of growth, with
a lifelong better outcome." {Female~age 40~administrative assistant, state agency}
Hummelstown, PA
"You have helped me unlock the 'mystery' surrounding my 401k account with my
employer. Yes, I always knew it was a good thing to have and use. But I never paid
attention to the moving parts or understood how powerful of a financial tool it really
could be. I really wish I had the years back, in which I ignored something so beneficial
to my future stability, because I didn't understand it rightly. In working with you, it really
is live and LEARN." {Male~age 36~production controller, electronics manufacturer}
East Petersburg, PA
"As you know, we live our life together dealing with (among other things) one of us
suffering from an anxiety/depression disorder. Finances was never a topic we were able
to communicate well about, and at times has been some of our worst points of conflict.
Thank you for your invaluable assistance in improving in this area, as well as ongoing
reconstruction of how we manage our money existence." {Husband~age 32~auto repair
