Who we are

What does Lifestyle Money Coach do?

We are in the business of helping you gain control of your day to day money and guiding you to appropriate financial professionals if required.

We do this by combining sound psychological principles with practical financial coaching techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the unconscious beliefs and patterns that create stress, anxiety and fear with your money issues.

We then work one-on-one to transform these issues and install a series of programs to help you achieve a fulfilling, purposeful and prosperous lifestyle.

Coaching is delivered by highly trained Lifestyle Money Coaches who are independent licensees - all of which have made the lifestyle choice to engage in an industry that truly helps others.

How and when did Lifestyle Money Coach begin?

Lifestyle Money Coaching was started in early 2000 by multi-author, economist and financial professional Greg Smith.

Back then and amongst many things Greg was also the Money Editor of a major Australia weekly magazine. Each week he would literally receive hundreds of letters and emails from readers all with similar money issues. These included: "I spend too much, I have no idea where all my money is going, I don't know how to save, I want someone I can talk to about my money that will guide me not want to sell things to me, I'm doing OK with my money but I need I don't know who to talk to, I wish there was someone who could connect me."

Instead of writing generic "how-to" articles to answer these issues Greg decided to take a more personalized approach and developed a separate company that provided a service that worked with people one-to-one. Initially he called this a "budget blitz", then a "money makeover" but as the service matured it was renamed the Lifestyle Money Coach.

This name better reflects the service proposition now offered which provides Australians with access to a new type of money help that focuses on improving a person's lifestyle by realigning their approach to money. As mentioned above sophisticated psychological and financial coaching techniques are employed to identify a client's money psychology and work with them to re affirm or restructure their personal goals, money cash flows or debt levels.

Lifestyle Money Coaches do not provide financial advice nor do they recommend financial products. They do however provide a basic yet often overlooked function (by other financial service providers) of simple goal matching with budgetary guidance and debt management. Their coaching continues right to the point where they refer their client to an external network of financial professionals such as mortgage brokers, financial planners, insurance brokers, accountants and tax agents. Here they simply guide their client to these specialists and there is absolutely no obligation by the client to pursue them.

Lifestyle Money Coach is now rapidly expanding across Australia and we are seeking Lifestyle Money Coaches to fulfil the increasing demand for this most needed of services from the Australian community.
