#146: How Rahkim Sabree leaned into his niche to help people overcome financial trauma

Amelie is joined by Rahkim Sabree, AFC, to talk about niching, other ways of coaching, and how CFPs don’t have a corner on the market of helping people! Takeaways: Your story is unique to you–no one else can talk about your story the way you talk about it. When Rahkim focused in on sharing his experiences and his niche’s experiences, it attracted other people outside of his niche as well. Oftentimes, successful coaches don’t tell clients what their goals are, they help clients figure out what their goals are. Consider reaching out to local libraries to do free services. Conferences (AFCPE Symposium, FinCon, Financial Therapy Association Conference) are a great way to connect with people multiple times. Figure out how you can get paid AND how you want to get paid. Don’t chase the high of helping other people. Consider formalizing your education–both Rahkim and Amelie thought they knew a lot but still learned a ton from the AFCPE process!
