Here Is How I Can Help you

Financial Coaching

There are 3 main types of clients that I love working with:

Financial Coaching

1. The Single Working Professional

The single busy working professional is a client who works for a company, and is getting established in life. They are doing well in their career and other areas of their life but need to address their finances as one area of life that has been holding them back. How they handle their finances makes them feel like a fraud at times, and finally getting their finances on track and managed will unlock further success in every area of their life. 

Here is how I can help you with your PERSONAL FINANCES

  • We will get you full visibility of your money so you can see all money in and out
  • We will create a budget (spending plan) that actually works 
  • We will strategize the most effective way to pay off debt
  • We will shift mindsets around money so we can shift from your money costing you money to your money making you money
  • We will cover credit score, credit report, how to invest, how to realistically buy a house  
  • More importantly we will coach around your money mindset and how to be responsible, organized, disciplined, savvy, abundant and above all financially confident

“I can’t imagine my life without her! Financial and life coach Michelle Tascoe has become one of the most important elements in my life. When I first started coaching with her I was making a good amount of money but my spending needed some attention. Now I think about every dollar (and penny) that I spend and my personal life and business has flourished because of it. Also, having Michelle there to clear my mind and stay focused on the results and the facts has been invaluable!”

– Caroline Buhler | Marketing Coordinator for Halton Pardee + Partners | Los Angeles, CA

“Michelle has, quite simply, changed my life. While she has absolutely gotten my finances in order, she more importantly asked deeper questions that helped me understand bad habits and motivations. She has completely flipped my outlook on personal relationships and frankly, has helped me mature more quickly than life experience alone was able to. I just goddamn love her and I cannot recommend her enough!”

– Amy K | Restaurant Manager and TV personality | Los Angeles, CA

2. The couple in a relationship (to be engaged or married)

The couple is a client who wants to get on track with how they are handling their finances together. They want to be on the same page, be able to communicate effectively about finances and avoid misunderstandings that can lead to arguments in their relationship. They want to set themselves up for success to buy a house, pay off debt that has accumulated and be able to actually enjoy life with vacations and fun while having a financial plan for the future. 

Here is how I can help you with your HOUSEHOLD FINANCES

  • We will get you full visibility of all the accounts between you both so we can see all money in and out
  • We will create a household budget (spending plan) that actually works 
  • We will strategize the most effective way to pay off debt and stay out of debt
  • We will shift mindsets around money so we can shift from your money costing you money to your money making you money
  • We will create a plan for family vacations and couples get aways to fund ahead of time 
  • We will cover credit score, credit report, how to invest, how to realistically buy a house, buy a second house to be an  Airbnb or rental to cash flow   
  • More importantly we will coach around your money mindset and how to be responsible, organized, disciplined, savvy, abundant together and above all financially confident as a power couple

“As newlyweds learning to share finances for the first time and making “adult moves”, we needed help. Michelle is exactly the knowledgeable, non-judgmental, patient third party we needed to coach us through creating and sticking to our budget. Her coaching encompasses the emotional aspect of financial health that makes the vulnerable/ sensitive part less intimidating. After our phone sessions, we always feel confident and encouraged because we have a better grasp of our financial health and it has made us stronger as a couple”

– Sahar | Law | Los Angeles, CA

“My husband and I were in a financial rut. We knew we wanted to curb our spending and set goals to pay down debt and save for the future, but we didn’t know how, and every time we tried to make forward progress we would just end up in a fight. Having the outside help Michelle offered us was just what we needed. After our first session we had a much better idea of where our money was going (something I never felt we had a handle on before) and were able to easily set a budget and make a plan for paying off debt. It’s now been two months since our first meeting, and we’ve paid off three credit cards! Even better than that, we have not gotten in a single disagreement about money since we set-up our budget. That alone was worth the price of the session! It feels so good to be on the right track financially. I wish we had met with her a long time ago.”

The business owner is a client who wants to get their finances on track and gain clarity on how to run their business more profitably. They want to get their business finances organized, streamlined, and effective. They also want to see what their business expenses are in a simple way so they can to see where they can cut operating costs, check revenue return on marketing efforts and strategize ways to increase revenue.

“Michelle is a miracle worker! I began my journey over a year ago knowing that my husband and I needed help getting back on track. After a few failed attempts at self budgeting and actually being fired by a money manager that let us know we were ” just too much” I read a mention of Michelle in a blog post. I cyber stalked her and reached out to see if she could help. My husband and I were complicated: two corps, self employed, inconsistent income, tons of bills and no budget. I expected her to also tell us we were ” too much”. She didn’t . She immediately made us feel as though the challenges could be tackled. Debt ? No problem. IRS? No problem. Never talk to your spouse about money without blowing a gasket? No problem. Lol! Over the last year, we have systematically tackled the majority of our issues and unraveled a lot of things that seemed more complicated. We have created a budget that doesn’t seem restrictive and are working toward being debt free at the end of 2018. It’s hard to do these things alone if you’re not financially savvy. Coaching is crucial for us. Michelle is helping us to become savvy. I am grateful for her! If you’re looking to get in track this year, I suggest giving her a call!

“It has really been a great pleasure and learning experience to work with Michelle. From Day 1, she was motivating and encouraging, helping me to get started right away! She really listened and helped me to focus on “applying my knowledge” and more importantly “learning by doing,” rather than wasting any more time thinking about how I wanted to improve my financial life! Michelle helped us to learn how to improve our credit scores, create a budget, and create strategies to cut down on our spending and begin saving. We currently have an exact game plan to buy a house! Michelle also helped me to expand my business, creating new ways to generate clients and revenue. She helped me to access several different resources and design a plan on how to make more money with the skills I currently have. At times, when I was slowing down, she pushed me to do my homework and worked very closely with me to complete things moment by moment. I have learned a lot from Michelle, but more then anything I appreciate that she is genuine, focused, and truly cares to spend an extra few minutes with you until she knows that you got it just right! Thank you for being there Michelle! I look forward to continuing our work together!”

Maximizing Your life

Time Management

My clients that both have regular jobs and those that run a business are often pressed for time. They have a lot to do, a lot they want to do and a lot that still has not gotten done. What they need most is clarity and a system that will organize their time and how they see their time so that things can actually get done without sacrificing one area of their life for another. 

Through time management coaching we will accomplish the following:   

  • Dial in what you need to accomplish daily and weekly to reach your goals
  • Uncover the daily disciplines that build the foundation of consistent habits that create results 
  • Apply my stoplight method of how to properly allocate time between green time, yellow time and red time 
  • Work through my 10 pillars of a complete life exercise to ensure time is made for each area of your life so you can catch up, maintain and advance various areas of your life
  • Navigate the difference between the past, present and future focus so that your are doing what you need today today to live the life that you want tomorrow
  • Complete my time management exercise so each day of the week has blocked off hours for tasks 
  • Create a complete weekly calendar schedule that you can use a template to follow to have maximum productivity and life balance

What Time Management Clients Are Saying…

“Prior to meeting Michelle Tascoe, I was struggling in every aspect of life. I was extremely depressed and severely in debt. I spent days crying in bed, frustrated with my parenting skills, drowning in pity and completely failing in every relationship. Never realizing I created it. Since using the skills Michelle has taught me, I am learning to create the life I want. I have seen tremendous improvements in my relationships, my mental health and my spiritual growth. I can finally breathe again! Michelle has taught me so many valuable life lessons, building loyalty, having integrity of my word, not putting meaning to things, overcoming the past to create a better future, setting boundaries and editing my language. I am learning to speak to people in order to set them up for success rather than failure. I have learned to motivate and encourage my son to do things that were difficult before. Michelle has helped me change every aspect of my life and live life intentionally. I know I couldn’t have made such drastic improvements in my life in such a short time without her accountability, encouragement, wisdom, guidance and training. I highly recommend Michelle Tascoe if you want to see dramatic improvements in your life!”

– Amanda M. | Massage Therapist | Winnsboro, TX

“I just finished a session with Michelle. All I know is that she has a gift to coach and help others. Last week I started my session “on top of the world”. After that session I knew I could conquer the world. This week life through me a couple of challenges and Michelle listened, guided me and I ended the session back to top of the world with the confidence and plan to conquer the world. God and family are in my life like they never were before. My boss said to me, “please don’t take this the wrong way, but you seem different in a good way”. I did not take offense and smiled from ear to ear! Life is good! We have paid off more than $18,000, my husband and I are taking more time for ourselves and my relationship with my adult daughter has grown tremendously, mostly because I have become a better listener.”

– Chris Graves | Health Insurance Agent | Winter Haven, FL

What Life Coaching Clients Are Saying…

“I just started coaching with Michelle and so far the few sessions I’ve had have been hard but they have shown me that I have been holding on to things I thought I let go of. After each session I feel as though a weight has been lifted and I have a fresh start. I now know that I can succeed in my life, job, family friends and I can’t wait for my next session!”

– Heather Kane | Paralegal | Orange County, CA

“Two things you want in a coach; someone who has the expertise to really help you and someone who genuinely cares enough to want the very best for you. Michelle is that coach and has those qualities overflowing.”

– Russell Reynolds | Men’s Health Coach and Speaker | Los Angeles, CA

“Where do I begin? Michelle is simply a gift from the Universe. She was patient, kind, understanding, and most importantly HONEST! She called me out on my stuff when I needed it and challenged me to follow my dreams in a way that made me believe that I can do it. Because of Michelle, I have quit my job and started the business of my dreams! She has made me believe that more is possible. She has given me great tools to track my finances, but that is just a bonus to all the other amazing things I have gained with working with her. Thank you, Michelle. I am forever grateful for you in my life!”
