The skill that couples focus on to win with money
by Angie Carlson |
Couples, my husband and I have had the same thought as you two.
There’s no way the dream for our relationship will ever happen.
Especially with the challenges we had
~ Health issues
~ Opposite work schedules
~ Home and car repairs
~ Budget not working
We were so frustrated.
It felt like each time we took one step forward towards our vision we took ten steps back.
Questioned if our dreams were too much.
Yet, we saw couples living out their dream on less than what we made.
Without ANY of the stresses we were experiencing.
HOW?
Turns out, those couples focused on one thing.
COMMUNICATION.
Specifically, money communication.
Money communication that focused on how today’s decisions supported their vision.
Focused on what COULD be possible instead of what today’s reality told them was best.
The problem is – how do you two even start that conversation?
When neither of you know the direction your relationship should go?
With words that are so clear that you spouse knows what exactly what you want?
And what do we do if what we both want is different?
Yet, you both know that continually avoiding this conversation will keep you right where you are.
Stressed.
Disappointed.
Focused on getting through the day instead of where you want to go.
Focused on perfecting your budget instead of perfecting your life.
Focused on the accomplishments of others instead of your own.
Here’s the thing – focusing on money communication is what you need to see your dream relationship come to life.
It worked for us.
It works for my clients.
It will work for you.
Because when you agree, you achieve.
Which is why my coaching method, Agree & Achieve, is required to solve your money communication challenges.
In phase one – Agree On Your Shared Vision- we
▪️ Resolve the tension & stress in your money communication by gathering information to build your shared vision
▪️ Implement a collaborative process that takes your money conversations from silence, avoidance, or arguments to money
talks being the easiest part of your relationship
▪️ Use the power of focus to identify the top 3 things to bring your shared vision to life.
The next phase- Achieve Your Results – we:
▪️ Focus on the numbers so you see that money is available to make your vision come to life
▪️ Have a process to navigate life’s unexpected events so no matter what happens, your vision stays on track
▪️ Implement a plan to vet anyone assisting with your finances to ensure all align with your vision.
Because when you Agree & Achieve you live out your shared vision, free from financial stress.
Which is EXACTLY what you two want.
Today is the day to start, because tomorrow and someday never come.
