The gap between stuck and unstuck.
+ an intro to the Solo 401k + hot jobs!
Last week I was out with some friends and we got talking about feeling stuck.
You know change is possible. You know things could be different. You know your life is in your control — but you just don't know how to actually seize the reins.
And that's the hardest part, isn't it? The knowing without the how.
One of the biggest things I work on with my clients is taking all that confusing chaos swirling around in your head and turning it into a real plan you can actually execute.
You want to get out of your corporate job and launch your consulting business but don't know how? Let's map it out together — step by step.
You're a stay-at-home mom wanting to bring in extra income but unsure how much to invest (monetarily and timewise) into launching your business? We'll work through the real numbers together.
You're stuck in a role that keeps you grounded when you want to travel, and you know you have skills to leverage but can't figure out how to land that remote role? I can help you get there.
You’re bringing in $5k/mo working for yourself but know you need to get to $10k to feel like this is sustainable? Let’s build your client acquisition plan.
The gap between stuck and unstuck? It's just a plan. And commitment.
Financial overwhelm can leave us feeling stuck too, especially when we don’t have a clear trajectory ahead of us. That’s why we’re partnering with Betterment to help you secure your financial future with their solo 401k.
