Practical Considerations
I use Zoom to run secure online meetings with clients.
You will need to be in a quiet environment, free of distractions, where you are able to talk openly. You will need to use a laptop or desktop computer with reliable internet access as we will be using MoneyGrit software during the meeting.
Couples will each need to have their own devices and be in different rooms for the appointment, in line with best practice for working with couples online.
What Do I Need To Have Ready For The First Meeting?
Nothing. Turning up (online) is all that’s required.
How Long Will I Be Coming To See You?
It is hard to be precise here, because every client has different needs, and the process is flexible enough to accommodate these.
What I can say is that I have really long-term relationships with my clients, but we don’t meet intensively over all the time we are working. The process is flexible, if we need to be more intensive again, for whatever reason, we can, and then drop back down to seeing each other less often. There are lot of different elements to this work and we can take it as far as you want to go.
Everyone moves through the process at their own pace. How fast people move depends on three things:
- How good their organisational skills are
- Whether we are working on business and personal money
- How emotionally charged the subject of money and personal finance is for them
But I Love Shopping So Very Much – I Don’t WANT To Stop!
Good news! I’m not going to ban you from shopping. It’s even possible you’ll end up doing more shopping. But it won’t be shopping that turns into a compulsive, out-of-control splurge that ends with financial kick disaster. It’ll be shopping that meets your actual needs. Shopping that feels good. Shopping that comes without the sickening feeling that you’re hurting yourself financially (again).
How Can I Afford To See You If I’m Already Going Into Debt Every Month?
I can only point to the experience of my money coaching clients – when they follow the process, they end up with more money in the bank than they’ve had before AND they’re paying for money coaching.
Sarah changed the way I thought about money. When I first met her I was in debt and could see no way out, despite being so strict on myself. I couldn't imagine that just a year later - and with no income change - I would have savings and be hunting for my first home. I've gone from being a victim of my circumstances to being genuinely empowered financially. I'm over penny-pinching budget tactics. Sarah's approach deals with the greater strategy, holistically. There's no judgement over avocado toast.
