1 Set your rates

One of the first steps to managing your finances is to set your rates based on your value, experience, and market demand. You need to charge enough to cover your expenses, taxes, and savings, but also to reflect your expertise and the results you can deliver. You can research what other coaches and mentors in your niche are charging, and adjust your rates accordingly. You can also offer different packages, discounts, or payment plans to suit different clients and situations.

Be careful basing your rates on what other coaches and mentors are charging. By exploring these numbers (especially prior to determining your personal value and financial needs of the business) you will be unknowingly creating a benchmark and bias in your mind that will skew your pricing moving forward.

2 Track your income and expenses

Another important practice is to track your income and expenses regularly and accurately. You need to know how much money you are making and spending, and where it is going. You can use tools like spreadsheets, apps, or software to record and categorize your transactions, and generate reports and insights. Tracking your income and expenses can help you monitor your profitability, plan your budget, and prepare for tax season.

In my own experience, one of the pitfalls is the small expenses that go unnoticed until there is a whole in your finances. So, by all means watch the small expenses, track them meticulously.

3 Save for emergencies and retirement

As a coach or mentor, you may not have a steady or predictable income, so you need to be prepared for any financial emergencies or unexpected events. You should have a separate savings account for emergencies, and set aside a percentage of your income every month for this purpose. You should also think about your long-term financial goals, such as retirement, and start saving and investing for them as early as possible. You can consult a financial planner or advisor to help you create a strategy that suits your needs and risk tolerance.

As you may have heard before regarding personal finances, pay yourself first. While this may not always be possible as you’re building your business, it should be a goal. Setting aside money for yourself and your future business needs is paramount to success. Utilizing a tool like a high yield savings account for your emergency fund will compound your success. In addition, ensure you’re setting aside enough money to cover the taxes on your income - this can also be done in a high yield account so that you earn interest on that money for yourself prior to paying the IRS. Lastly, the earlier you start planning and saving for retirement, the less money you’ll actually need to contribute personally over the course of your lifetime!

4 Invest in your education and growth

One of the best ways to improve your financial situation is to invest in your education and growth as a coach or mentor. You can enroll in courses, programs, or certifications that can help you expand your knowledge, skills, and credentials. You can also join networks, communities, or associations that can offer you support, resources, and opportunities. Investing in your education and growth can help you increase your value, credibility, and income potential.

I believe that knowledge upskilling is one of the most important things that a Coach should do. Upskilling oneself creates a competitive edge for the Coach and also increases saleability. After all, a Coach is in the business of skill transfer so the more he has, the better he is.

5 Automate and outsource

Finally, you can save time and money by automating and outsourcing some of your financial tasks and processes. You can use tools like invoices, payments, or accounting software to automate your billing, collection, and bookkeeping. You can also outsource some of your administrative, marketing, or legal tasks to freelancers, contractors, or agencies. Automating and outsourcing can help you reduce errors, increase efficiency, and focus on your core competencies and activities.

One of the most important things about money management as a Coach is that you have to practice healthy financial habits/principles. You are not exempted because you help people find answers. Disciplined spending and saving are things we have to do on a daily basis in order to thrive financially. You are human first and then a Coach!
