A note from Dinia

When I created Mastering the Start, I wanted to give people who are considering financial coaching a place to begin without feeling like they have to have everything figured out first.

You may already have financial knowledge or personal experiences that have shaped the way you understand money. Or maybe you feel drawn to helping others make more informed and confident financial decisions. But turning that interest into a coaching business requires you to make some important decisions about what you know, who you want to serve, what you will offer, and how you will begin.

That is what this course is designed to help you do.

My goal is to help you determine whether financial coaching is the right path for you — and, if it is, to help you understand what your next steps should be.
