Are you in debt and want to get yourself out
(for good this time)?
Is it time to get smart about money
& start keeping more of what you earn?
Do you need a solid plan to get organized, track what you spend and take charge of your money?
I'm Jill and I offer Workshops and Private Mentoring Programs for people (women & men) who want to take action & have a great relationship with money!
I'd love to help you get out of debt, stay out of debt and start amassing abundant savings!
"As I close out 2011 and reflect on the many poor financial decisions I made, I am thankful for the learning opportunities, Jill -you helped me sit down and look my decisions in the eyes, reflect and refocus. Thank you more than you could ever know...I'm trading my lease by the end of the month and reducing my car expenses by $700, I'm still frozen on the credit cards, and I now have a plan for my tax return, profits, & expenses. I feel like a phoenix, Thanks for helping me step into 2012 powerfully!" - Judith R.
"Thanks to your workshop, I paid down my debt by 25% and lived without credit cards all summer!!" - Alexis P.
"We sat down for one hour and Jill showed me how to save up $1500 for my trip to Ireland in just two months. Which is more than I actually need for the trip. If I can save this much in two months, who knows what else I can accomplish!" - Leah B.
"Thanks to this class, I have been able to manage my cash flow so that I am not cash poor from one check to the next. I have learned how to make a budget that is simple enough for me to understand and actually use. Also, I have a savings plan in place that I am proud of and that will allow me to move out of my current apartment, which I have been trying to do for the last 2 years. Great great class!" - Watchen N.
"I’m so excited. I’ve been conscious of my budget and spending in ways I never have before. And, I’m looking forward to moving forward…I’m getting a handle on it. And I haven’t taken a taxi I don’t think since our second or third conversation…always public transport…and it feels good. I just wanted to share because I’m so grateful to you and am excited about my new level of awareness due to our conversations…It all feels so possible, when it was so not part of my consciousness or realm of possibility…
It feels do-able…!" - Jeff F.
"What your class gave me more than anything was an understanding of my money flow (which I was totally clueless about), a clear priority list of what matters to me in HOW I spend my money (eliminating big questions or "shoulds") and eye opening exercises to show me when I need to show constraint. I saved $2500 by holding back from one big purchase I just don't need right now (furniture), saving $500 bucks in cabs over the course of 2 months, bringing my lunch to work every day (probably over $500 in savings over 2 months) and planning on exactly how many dinners I go out to. GENIUS!!"

A Fun Money Workshop
Class Description: This SIX class series will help you gain control over your finances once and for all!

This class IS for YOU if:
Here's what we'll cover together:
So, why do I teach this class?
Four years ago, I found myself buried in nearly $30,000 worth of credit card debt. I felt ashamed, depressed and completely alone. Creditors called me non-stop and it was one of the darkest times in my life.
One day I woke up and realized that I was being enslaved by debt and decided that I was tired of feeling owned by the credit card companies. What I wanted more than anything was to have my freedom back. It was in that moment that I vowed to make a change.
I read countless books on personal finance and financial recovery. Most importantly, I changed my thinking about money and created a simple system to make sure it was being spent consciously on the things I most valued and enjoyed.
In 18 months, I turned my finances around completely, paying back every cent of what I owed. And I didn't stop there. Once I realized how much I could pay down in debt I figured: Heck! As soon as those cards are paid off, I'm going to start saving that money for myself!
Today I have amassed an abundant savings account with growing investments. If someone had told me four year ago that I would be here today, I wouldn't have believed them.
As I saw other people around me struggle with their money, I began to open up about my money issues. My friends and family were curious, so I shared my tricks with them and we found that the same strategies worked for them too! From there, I created this class that helps people take control in a systematic way.
I teach because I know there are people out there that keep their money issues to themselves as a source of shame, embarrassment and despair. I know because I walked around with this huge secret weight around my neck. And it was awful. And made me feel completely worthless.
I believe we were NOT MEANT TO STRUGGLE WITH MONEY. I want everyone to have the tools and the information necessary to take control in an encouraging, supportive (and dare I say, fun??) environment.
If you struggle in this area, don’t do it alone. There's no need.It is my belief that no one need struggle when there's help, support and new skills out there to guide you along the way.
So that's my story. What about you? If this seems like the right class for you, it's probably not an accident that you're reading this.
I’d love to help you get control over your finances so that you can move forward in your life, for good.

How Exactly Will This Class Help You?
When I was digging myself out of debt, I created a "Financial Abundance" plan for myself to get control over money and this is the same systematic approach I will teach you. It's all about changing your ACTIONS and changing your ATTITUDE.
Step #1: Get Clear. You can't get to where you want to go, if you don't know exactly where you are. Think of a map. In order to get anywhere, you need two know two things: your starting point & your destination.
- You're going to get crystal clear on EXACTLY where you stand financially.
- Even if you feel uncomfortable, nervous or anxious, you'll have the support of the other students in your class to help you through this process.
- Then I'll show you how to get clear on where you want to go. We'll spend time creating juicy goals that really resonate with who you are!
Step #2: Create a Spending Plan. Once you know where you'd like to go, I'll show you how to take a closer look at your monthly cash flow, so that your money aligns with your goals. Many people tell you to "make a budget." This class will show you exactly how.
- You will be introduced to the "Play Money Budget," a simple system that helps you balance your money throughout the month.
- Together, we'll spend an entire evening creating a spending plan that works for you
- In a supportive atmosphere, I'll be there as your guide to help you through the process & answer questions.
Step #3: Design Systems to Keep You on Track. Sure, a budget is great in theory. But how are you going to stick to it week after week? Well, if you have personalized systems in place, sticking to a budget will still require effort, but will become FAR easier to maintain over time.
- I will share with you the 10 best systems I know and personally use to keep yourself on track when changing your money habits.
- We'll talk about willpower and why that's not enough to make lasting change
- You'll have an opportunity to dream up customized plans that will help you when you feel tempted to veer off-track.
Step #4: Keep Abundance in Your Sight. After you've started to implement some of the action steps in your life over the course of a few weeks, we're going to dive right into mindset. You can implement every single trick in the book, but if your money mindset doesn't shift, you will sabotage your efforts to make changes in the long run.
- You'll get exercises that explore your money mindset (your thoughts, beliefs, language and actions around money).
- We'll talk about the difference between thinking like a consumer vs. thinking like an investor.
- You'll get tools around how to keep abundance in your sight on a consistent basis as you begin to change your spending habits.
Bonuses:
- You will receive the Creating Money Workshop workbook that you can reference whenever you need a quick pick-me-up.
- You will get a weekly accountability partner that you can reach out to as you're going through the homework assignments.
- You will also get email access to me throughout the six weeks. I'm here to answer your questions, provide support and encouragement during our time together.
- You also receive one hour on the phone with me, outside of class if you'd like more personal attention. We'll go through what you're struggling with in greater detail and come up with tangible solutions!
- You will receive access to our secret, confidential, safe Facebook Group with daily inspiration, coaching and community! You get on-going support and accountability weeks or months after the class is complete.
Before going through the program, I struggled with constantly feeling like I didn't have enough income coming in to get ahead and as a result, I'd wrack my brain over how to allocate what I DID have. Ultimately, I wanted to figure out how to pay my current bills, tackle the outstanding ones, generate savings and still have a little something left for myself.
It's been six weeks since I started the program and I've made some truly significant improvements in my life including creating $1565 in new income, setting up (and making deposits in) four new, focused savings accounts, securing two new consulting clients, landing my ideal summer job, creating an extra $200 per month through my current job, starting payment plans on all of my outstanding accounts (including one that I've paid off in full), completing over 80% of my action plan and committing to a series of daily best practices for my financial abundance plan that have me on the road to surplus.
In my opinion, Jill's program can benefit anyone from the individual looking to find their way or get back on track to the individual who's already living an abundant life and wants to learn how to manage it and create more. Regardless of your situation, Jill provides tools and resources that are simple to grasp, easy to implement and can work for anyone. - Holley M.
