This is great content, thank you for sharing! I’m a freelance/contract employee in the film industry and am a real estate agent as well. I would like to add ‘financial coach’ as another one of my pursuits because I see a lot of freelancers struggle in the slow periods (especially now that the film industry is on strike) and not have enough savings built up to weather the storm. I also come across people who really want to buy their first home but aren’t qualified due to low credit scores or not being able to save up enough for a downpayment. Through self-education (reading books, research, listening to podcasts) I’ve learned about investment, saving and money management enough to grow my net worth 20x in the past 7 years, and I feel that I can help others do the same. I don’t want to spread myself too thin by adding another hyphen to my LinkedIn Profile, but this feels like it could be a natural fit for me (and a good way to transition out of freelance work to focus just on financial coaching and real estate within the next 5-10 years). I’m inspired, thank you!

I’m starting a financial coaching business to empower high-achieving women in their 40s to optimize their finances while improving their financial literacy and creating healthy money habits.

In reply to Carla. That's wonderful! Money management skills are so needed! But unfortunately, most of us have to learn through the "school of hard knocks."

That’s fantastic that you’ve already helped your sister! I would start with the basics – do some market research (this is an established market), get clear on what you can offer, and start sharing your knowledge + offer – online and with your network.

I am interested in becoming a financial coach, but not sure where or how to get started. While in school for my degree in accounting, I helped my sister get out of an impossible financial situation that was going to leave her homeless. I helped her manage her own finances, avoid eviction, and taught her the value of placing money in savings all while having little money to survive on. This got me thinking I might be able to help others manage their money in similar situations. Of course, I did not charge my sister for my services, and I am not sure how to turn this into a business.

I have “pulled myself up by my bootstraps” financially speaking.
I started as a young adult with no money management skills, if I had money in the bank before next pay day it meant I had money to spend on stuff, right? That was my mindset, so saving for anything never occured to me.
Now, through the school of hard knocks, I’ve learned money management and how to play the credit game to my advantage and I want to help teach others how to as well.
