A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the recent survey I had taken from people I had met through our free consultation. \u00a0You can see that post here<\/a>. That survey showed me some things that needed to change at Financial Focus as I focus to help as many people as possible change their course in life and specifically around their finances. \u00a0As a result, several changes took place at the beginning of this month.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Financial Focus is still here and helping people from all walks. \u00a0Single, married, small business, churches, organizations – I am still offering the same coaching services as in the past.<\/p>\n

However, I am changing, or some may even say adding to, what I do and how we accomplish that.<\/p>\n

First, our options. \u00a0In the past it has always been a long and typical six month program. Today, there are options. \u00a0In the consultation, I will now make a recommendation, but I will also share the other choices and allow the client the ability to choose what is preferred and all at very affordable prices.<\/p>\n

Additionally, my coaching services will now use more online video coaching where appropriate to reach clients wherever they may be located. Using the latest technology, we can now bring coaching right to you and your location. \u00a0Regardless of how remote you may be, we can still assist you in your needs.<\/p>\n

Beginning in July, I now can offer additional resources that will allow you to obtain further training online in a self-based support tool that is available to you at all times.<\/p>\n

Finally, I am now helping companies assist their employees with financial wellness training and assistance to allow those employees to be more productive in their occupation while better managing the money that they earn. \u00a0Providing seminars in the workplace that can be shaped for, and are affordable by all, companies is something that will make each employee and their family better money mangers and focused on their future.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days of one size fits all. \u00a0Today you have choices.<\/p>\n

You may have been one who has made a decision not to move forward in the past because your choice was not available. \u00a0Let me show you how we can help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
