I met Xavier ages ago at a conference. We nerded out about personal finances back then! It’s so important to lay that foundation in good times so that those habits can support you in more dire straits. This was a great read. Glad he’s well!

Love this: “Talk to people like they’re people, and not like they’re your ticket to the next gig”

I'll have to look into that, I was just a bit shocked at some of the sticker prices!

I totally get it! Everyone on my team is such an amazing resource to their clients and it’s six sessions. Paying my coaches for their time and talent is one of my values as well. As everyone understands, being paid for your expertise is truly important.
