The Statistics Are Hurting My Heart

Okay, after the third magazine, I can’t stay silent about this.

I’ve been a financial advisor for over 21 years…although I still maintain some special clients, the majority of my business is now coaching.

Why did I start coaching 10 years ago?

Because of the articles that are flooding my inbox in the last couple of weeks from the digital Financial Magazines that I subscribe to.

Here’s the headlines that I want to share with you and an excerpt of each article that’s got me riled up…

 

“Paying down debt is the biggest concern of Canadians”

Debt repayment is the […]

Are you and your partner doing it?

Talking money of course!

 

A big reason why many couples argue about money involves having different values and conflicting goals which leads into a battle of; “I’m right … your wrong!”

 

Here’s why this happens: most couples do not have “Money Talks”. Sure they talk about money in varying degrees – but they don’t get into the ‘nitty gritty’ of their numbers and how the other person feels.

Let’s face it, when cashflow is good, money arguments usually are few – if any.

But when cashflow changes (usually due to less money coming in or expenses going […]

Is everybody making more money than you? Here’s why.

Have you ever struggled with feeling like everybody around you was succeeding financially – even people you feel aren’t as educated, qualified or talented as you?

 

Oh, have I been there!

 

One of my biggest “money blocks” was feeling I wasn’t getting what I deserved monetarily, and falsely believing everybody around me was.

 

At one point, I was seriously convinced all my colleagues were handed some secret handbook that told them how to get new clients and secret formulas to success – and somehow the universe conveniently forgot to give me mine.

 

It was frustrating, and degrading. […]

What is lifestyle?

Well it’s the cars we drive, the home we live in, and the vacations we take.

It’s the education we provide and it’s the retirement we save for…

it’s living today while planning for tomorrow.

 

And guess what… your income supports it all!

 

But what if you were unable to work tomorrow due to an injury or illness? Would you and your family be protected?

 

Your income supports your lifestyle so consider this; If you could not work tomorrow, how long could you continue your current lifestyle?… days, weeks, months or years?

 

Accidents and sicknesses happen every day! […]

3 Letters That Will Change Your Life

 

 

I don’t know about you…but I feel like someone flicked the switch from summer to fall … overnight!

 

Holy cow we needed the rain, but I had to light the pilot on the fireplace and turn on the furnace!

 

 

 

For me, this is a signal to start planning my annual trip to Mexico!

(My view in a couple of months!)

 

 

Now sometimes people say to me; “It must be nice to go away every winter…”

To which I reply… “It is … and you can too […]

Your Relationship With Money Can Be Fantastic, Pleasurable, Exciting and Stress Free!

Do you believe it or was your first reaction… “Yeah right, I don’t think so!”

 

For so many it can be hard, stressful, and depressing. It can be embarrassing which leaves you feeling shameful, guilty, stupid and hopeless. I know, I’ve had my own struggles.

 

Here are some of my clients’ biggest financial struggles that they’ve shared with me…

  • “My biggest financial struggle is being overwhelmed.”
  • “My biggest issue is saving! Lord knows I try my best to put away as much money as I can. I am a saver & my husband is a […]

Letting go of the edge…

Letting go of the edge…

Ever hear that inner voice telling you there’s more to what you have?

 

Do you listen to it? …The one that tells you to go for it…and believe.

 

You should listen, its chatter that matters!

 

Time to examine the truth about where you are.

 

Take this little self-assessment quiz to get an idea of what’s true for you:

:: Do you procrastinate on doing things that you know will move you forward?

:: Do you have fear and concerns that prevent you from getting ahead?

:: Do you exist in a fantasy bubble playing mind games with yourself and […]

Are You Stressed About Money?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you’ve been stressed about money … at least once.
Bottom line – money gives us better choices. Money impacts almost everything in our lives from the food we buy, to the car we drive, the house we live in, vacations, clothes… But what we don’t like to admit (or acknowledge) is how much money (and especially debt) can actually affect our health.
Not sleeping due to worrying about money is a common thread with clients that come to me for advice and mentoring. It’s been […]

Better with Age?

Better with age, yes, just like a fine wine! But all those years ago, (if you are over 50) when you were watching Happy Days, did you imagine you’d be stressing about retirement? We grew up on Barbie and Ken, the Beatles and wearing bell bottoms – and now some of us are grandparents! Is it a transition you’re ready for?

 

Baby boomers (those of us born 1946-1964) have been the most marketed to generation in history. After the WWII there was a huge growth and boom in electronics, gadgets, and an exciting appeal […]

 Quit Hiding From Money

My guess is you don’t want to hide from money you want it to flow and attract it…right? Well the reality is that in order to do that, you have to be willing to open your eyes and know in detail where you stand financially.

We all have to take responsibility; for not only our present behaviours, but past ones too. It’s important that we understand how we have created our current financial reality and why. This is where the proverbial ‘rubber meets the road’ because when we unveil the truths and dig through our money beliefs, the truth is revealed. […]
