As I considered transitioning from my professional retail banking management role to financial coaching for small businesses and working-class Americans, I noticed a significant phenomenon. Despite achieving high sales results and top performance ratings, I realized that these metrics did not necessarily equate to true success for my clients in the business and working-class communities. For example, closing a loan for debt consolidation to save a client money did not guarantee financial fitness or long-term success. In fact, I found that debt consolidation often led to increased access to credit, which in turn led to more accumulated debt over time.
I also knew that moving into more specialized roles would compromise my ability to work with Americans suffering from real life financial problems. Therefore, I made my final decision to truly make an impact with my Business and Working Class American clients.
"Financial coaching is like having a personal trainer for your money. Just like a personal trainer helps you get in shape physically, a financial coach helps you get in shape financially. They guide you, encourage you, and hold you accountable as you work towards your financial goals." -Dave Ramsey
Dave Ramsey's quote highlights the importance of financial coaching in helping individuals achieve their financial goals through guidance, encouragement, and accountability. It suggests that just as a personal trainer can help someone achieve physical fitness, a financial coach can help someone achieve financial fitness.
For another consecutive quarter, our Business and Working Class American clients have collectively achieved the following in Q1 of 2023:
80% to Goal (metric of all goals set to be achieved by 3/31/2023).
Over $30,000 in savings allocations from Personal Finance Coaching Clients.
$0 in newly accumulated debt for Business and Working Class Americans.
0 negative business or personal credit marks.
2 first time business credit account holders.
Success and value continues to be found here at The Jones Group Of Western New York. This same success welcomes you Today!!
