Let’s Talk Money™ Workshops

Have you found yourself saying?

  • We need to stop the bleeding.
  • We are always behind and feel like we’ve dug ourselves into a hole.
  • We need some structure to help us get out of our financial mess.
  • We need to stop the money fights.
  • We have a great income, and would like to enjoy the fruit of our hard work and invest our money into something meaningful and fun for once.
  • We’re both full time workers but we make the excuse we’re too busy to work on the finances.
  • We need a fresh start and to begin to move forward.
  • We need something in place to reinforce and motivate us to follow a plan and model it to our children so they don’t make the same financial mistakes.

Do you need a fresh reality check or a greater vision of what your money can do:

  • …to make good decisions for your future?
  • …to be able to breathe and get this mess behind you once and for all?
  • …to get the weight of the world off of your shoulders and sleep at night?
  • …to eliminate the stronghold it has on your life that makes you feel trapped in a vicious cycle repeating all of the bad past mistakes over and over?
  • …to give you peace of mind and security for your family?
  • …to leave a legacy for your children (an inheritance)?

That’s what our Let’s Talk Money™ Workshops are all about.  This series was developed by Mike and Mari Larkin to help take married couples (as well as singles) through a simple step process to gain control of your financial life and take action to recapture the dreams you desire to achieve together as a couple and for your family.  We help you start to take action on those dreams you have always wanted to achieve but didn’t quite know how to get started with the whole complicated process.  Don’t just keep talking about wanting to make it happen! Let Mike and Mari help show you where and how to start. It really isn’t rocket science.  Financial information is everywhere for the taking, but you have to know who to trust.  Mike and Mari have been showing people how to wisely handle their financial resources for over 20 years, and have the resources to help you in this journey. Their motto is “Slow and Steady”… and if it’s not simple, you won’t keep it up.  They make budgeting and handling your financial affairs a simple process to learn, so it can be repeated over and over to help make you financially successful and take the guess work out of the equation.

In these workshops we help lay the foundational principles in discovering what you and your spouse are passionate about in life.  What’s important to you, and how do you want to achieve your goals in life?  In working together to clarify any confusion and/or defuse any arguments you may have concerning money in your marriage we help make a tough subject for some a manageable and doable process.  Mike and Mari help bring their positive energy as well as laughter and fun into the weekend.

Some of the topics covered in our workshops include:

  • Ownership of Money – God owns it all
  • Husbands and Wives – Relating with Money
  • Master Plan based on your Dreams, Values and Goals
  • What’s a Budget? -  How to make your Money Behave
  • Investing for your Future – Time is your friend
  • Getting Organized with your Financial Paperwork
  • Knowing your Personality – Career Fulfillment
  • The Big Picture – Why every decision is so important now

IMG_0332 (Small)We encourage you to look deeply at what really matters to each of you (your values and dreams) and then plan your finances around that.  That’s the only way planning and goal setting makes any real lasting sense of fulfillment. Mike says, “I can honestly tell you as a coach who has personally lived this out in my own marriage as well as help coach many others through this process of financial planning, it can and it will get better…if you both take action together!”

You will soon discover that Mike and Mari are passionate about helping couples in today’s society that are being pulled apart to achieve oneness in this critical area.

Let’s Talk Money™ Workshops are a pivotal process in making a spending plan/budget that makes sense. Without doing this first, your money has no real “reason” for behaving!  This will give not only your money purpose, but your life and your family’s future will have more meaning and direction.

*****

Let’s Talk Money™ Workshops are flexible enough to be structured to whatever the needs are of your group.  We can do a 30 minute pep talk, or a full day workshop.  We have even designed a 6 week long mini-series lasting 2 hours each.  Feel free to contact our office to discuss what your needs and desires are, and the fees associated with them.  We will put together a custom package based on your group.
