With groundingpoint, you’re getting personal financial consulting, in a “coaching” format.

Mindy Crary is your coach. She won’t yell at you or tell you to drop and give her twenty. But with all the skill and knowledge you’d expect from a successful coach, she’ll teach you how to win what you want. During the entire engagement, Mindy is available on an “as-needed” basis, by e-mail or phone, in addition to weekly meetings.

Your groundingpoint program will be unique:  tailored exactly to your individual needs and desires. This is not a book, or a one-size-fits-all seminar. Each step, from initial evaluation, to follow-up, is directed to creating your very own Financial Operating System.

Your Financial Operating System might include gaining a clear understanding of:
• Debt strategy
• Home budgeting and mortgage management
• Planning for the long term (education, retirement)
• Tax strategies
• Credit reports and identity protection
• Investment options

Every groundingpoint “graduate” comes away with a solid understanding of the basic tenets of sound financial planning. But if your main concern is wondering if you should buy a home, that’s how the program will be focused. If you want to become a more educated investor, that’s what you’ll become. There simply isn’t an area of modern personal finance management of which Mindy is not well qualified to teach.

Most important, you will be able to develop your own philosophy about money. You’ll have integrated your finances fully into to your lifestyle. You’ll see them realistically and will have the confidence to make proactive decisions. You’ll have the tools to create a better financial life for where you are right now and into the future.

What groundingpoint doesn’t do: Mindy doesn’t make a commission off financial products such as mutual funds, money market accounts, stocks, etc.. She doesn’t even offer them. Her job is to give you the knowledge you need to confidently assess the costs, risks and benefits of these products yourself.
