it starts with your money mindset
Did you know conflicts with money destroy more relationships and cause more anxiety than any other problem? It's unfortunate that money is still considered a taboo conversation topic. As concern for financial security grows, folks want guidance to help them make smart decisions. Today we are bombarded with information. How do you decide what's best? By participating in the Money Coaching Core Process™, you learn how to identify the money behaviors, beliefs and patterns that hold you back. Then you get tools and exercises to help develop new habits that will guide you to your desired outcome.
Money Coaching and Financial Planning helps you build the confidence needed to take action toward your goals. Financial Planning shows you where you are now and what you need to do by breaking your goals down into manageable steps. Money Coaching shows you how to change your habits to get your desired results. The combination is transformational!
how am i paid?
We agree to a flat, annual fee at the beginning of our engagement. Asset management fees are deducted quarterly out of your investment account unless other arrangements are made. Financial Planning fees are paid directly to The Wealth Coach For Women, Inc. either by check or credit card. The fee quoted at the start of your engagement includes a minimum annual fee of $2,500 for individuals and $3,500 for couples. It is based on the services requested and the complexity of your situation.
We will review our agreement and fee every 12 months. There is no minimum time commitment, but we hope - and expect - that you will find our work together valuable enough to stay for many years.
how your fee is calculated
We have a minimum annual fee of $2,500 for individuals, $3,500 for couples, and $6,000 for business owners. Unlike many of our colleagues, we do not require clients to invest with us in order to work with us. Many clients use our firm for planning, wealth coaching and ongoing advice. If you have assets for us to manage, our minimum investment portfolio per household is $250,000.

why an annual minimum fee
It is a common industry practice for financial advisory firms to charge a percentage of a client's net worth or a percentage of the assets managed by the firm. Typically, we see firms charge 1% or more of a client's net worth. The flat annual fee may cover financial planning, asset management, assets under advisement, and ongoing advice for services not related to investments managed by the firm.
The Wealth Coach for Women doesn't require clients to have investable assets to work with us. Often clients have all their investments in company retirement accounts. This creates a need for ongoing financial planning and advice. Having a separate fee for financial planning and asset management is more transparent, flexible and cost effective for the client. Our clients pay a flat annual fee to create, execute and monitor their financial plan on an ongoing basis and a separate fee for managing assets.
investment philosophy
keep it simple, life is complicated enough
- Select a combination of low cost equity (stocks) and fixed income (bonds) instruments like mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) that align with your risk tolerance and goals.
- Understand tax implications and prepare accordingly.
- Save consistently.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
Investing is simple, but it's not easy. Keeping our emotions in check is the hard part. Too often we feel the urge to buy or sell at the wrong time. Or, stick our head in the sand and ignore the whole money thing altogether. Working with a Wealth Coach will guide you away from making emotional decisions. Buying or selling investments should only be made when the trades align with your overall plan and the lifestyle you are trying to create.
investing needs to be part of your holistic financial plan
The client relationship begins with creating a holistic financial plan. It is our way of "diagnosing" your current situation and "prescribing" a solution. Your investments are only part of your solution, yet it's where most people focus. Knowing how much to invest in each "bucket", and how your buckets fit your goal time lines is essential to enjoying the lifestyle and legacy you are working so hard to create.
A successful planning and investing strategy is measured by how well it helps you achieve your goals. Having clarity, certainty and confidence you are on track is the foundation for financial freedom.
Helping you create your big, bold life is my passion!
