When I was working with a 22-year-old client who received a large lawsuit settlement, he admitted that he didn’t know very much about money, taxes, or investing and that he was nervous about being responsible for so much money.
He was thirsty for knowledge and asked for a recommendation for a simple book that would give him a brief introduction to the world of personal finance. “No problem,” I said, assuming there were dozens of great options from which to choose.
Well, a week later, I could not find anything even remotely close to what I knew he needed. Instead, we decided to have weekly money coaching sessions where I would take a concept and do my best to explain it as simply as possible.
I enjoyed doing this so much I decided to write a book based on these lessons.
