Financial Budgeting Questions

1. How does the coaching process work?

   The process begins with a free consultation that lasts between twenty and thirty minutes. During your consultation, you will be asked some questions about your current financial condition and the goals that you would like to achieve. At the end of the consultation, you will be given a detailed explanation of the coaching services that are appropriate for your situation.
   
   

2. Do you only work with those in financial hardship?

   No. The Provision Group provides services to the financially secure as well as those with current challenges. We coach those with significant net worth to use sound principles and decision-making to manage their finances and build wealth.

3. Will my personal financial information be kept confidential?

   Absolutely. It is our policy to protect the privacy and confidentiality of each client. Your information will be shared with no one.

4. Do you take our money and pay our bills for us?

   NO. The Provision Group will teach you how to handle your money rather than become financially dependent on someone else to do it for you.

5. How can I afford to pay you if I can't pay my bills?

   The principles you learn will save you more money in the long run than you paid to The Provision Group in the first place. Reducing your level of stress concerning financial issues and changing your financial legacy is worth hiring a professional who cares. As Zig Ziglar says, "The price of success is much lower than the price of failure."

6. What are your fees?

   The initial consultation is free. At this meeting we get to know one another and determine what kind of coaching services are needed. Each client's needs are somewhat unique, therefore we charge a fee based on each client's situation. We are confident that the strategies put in place will save you enough money to cover the cost of the fee. Unlike most Financial Planners, The Provision Group's Financial Coaching does not sell financial products or receive commissions.

7. Do you ever recommend bankruptcy?

   The Provision Group has a proven plan that works, no matter what your financial situation might be. While bankruptcy could be "forced" upon you by creditors, we will not advise bankruptcy as a solution to your financial problems. 

   
   

   Bankruptcy is listed as one of the Top 5 "Life-Altering" negative events that an individual can go through. No one who has filed bankruptcy says, "That was the best thing I ever did! My life is better because of bankruptcy."

2. What is a Career Coach?

   Career coaches are trained to listen and observe, customize their approach to the individual client’s needs and to elicit solutions and strategies from the client. Coaches believe that the client is naturally creative and resourceful.

   
   

   The coach asks the right questions at the right time. A great career coach helps uncover possibilities that had never been considered or understood before. Tools, assessments and articles are introduced to help enhance the coaching process.
