Take Care of Your Financial Health with Money Coaching

Stop earning money. It’s not how the most successful people in life do things. As long as you’re earning money, you won’t be successful. That’s my first lesson as an experienced money coach.

My second lesson is simple: Start making money. What’s the difference? Earning money means selling your labour in exchange for payment. Earning money means generating revenue streams that deliver returns whatever you do.

See the difference?

Of course, this isn’t easy for everyone. If it were, everyone would have billions in the bank. It takes b**ls. You have to, at some point, take significant risks. You have to make the right financial decisions at the right times. And you have to, at least at first, prioritise investing money over spending money.

I’m a financial coach because I love making money. Perhaps that’s why I’m good at it. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve hit my fair share of obstacles during 20 years of running businesses and taking risks. I’ve gone from the brink of bankruptcy to the pinnacle of my chosen business sectors. And that’s why I’m the perfect person to give you the tools needed to maximise your financial health—and your money-making potential.

Let’s Do It!

If you know you have it within you to make money, but you haven’t quite cracked the case yet, I’d love to hear from you. Book an initial consultation at my London office or over a Zoom call. It’s free, and it will give us both the chance to see if we can achieve your financial goals through a series of one-on-one coaching sessions and around-the-clock mentoring.

But before you complete that online contact form, you might want to keep reading. Why? Because some of my methods aren’t for everyone.

Success Stories

Real Clients. Real Success. Real Results.
From feeling stuck to landing his dream job, entering a happy relationship, and transforming his entire life—this is Egis’s story:

“Within the first couple months of coaching, I achieved several incredible outcomes. I found an amazing, well-paid job—far beyond what I had expected—all with Jake’s support. I also entered a happy relationship, moved into the flat I had always dreamed of, started travelling the world, and gained a deeper understanding of myself. The journey has been truly transformative.”

My Money Coaching Style

I’m not here to manage money on your behalf. Yes, I’m also a life coach, but that doesn’t mean I’m here to spoon-feed you success.

I don’t suffer fools, and I only work with winners. Now, this doesn’t mean you have to be successful in order to benefit from my financial wellbeing coaching. You may not have worked out the best course of action yet. When I say ‘winners’, I mean you must have a winning mentality.

Winners don’t look for excuses or blame others for things that go wrong in their lives; they look for ways to succeed. They use setbacks as precious learning experiences. They don’t moan or scream at the world at the unfairness of life. They pick themselves up, and they move on to the next challenge.

I’ve worked with everyone from multinational CEOs to small business owners. I can help anyone with the right attitude. But I won’t accept bu****it. And you’ll never get bu****it from me. All you’ll get are practical tips and growth mindset techniques designed to optimise your relationship with money.

If I haven’t put you off yet, book a free discovery meeting so I can assess your unique needs in detail.

Who Needs a Money Coach?

If you need help with issues such as financial health or how to make generational wealth through the saving and investing decisions you make, you can benefit from the services of a money coach.

Over the years, in my capacity as a money and business coach, I’ve helped all sorts of people from all walks of life. Small business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, engineers, bankers, hedge fund managers, to name a few. Most are already highly successful in their respective fields, but they haven’t yet mastered the art of making their finances work hard.

Let me be clear. This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. I’m not asking you to sell me a pen or invest in a dodgy marketing scheme. I’m a coach. Pure and simple. If you need help with your emotions, go to a counsellor. If you need help with your financial decisions, give me a call!

Why Choose Me for Money Coaching?

You can’t learn what I teach from books. College professors teach because they haven’t learned how to DO. So, when you want to learn how to make money, isn’t it best to turn to someone who’s actually done that?

I don’t go around telling people how much I earn, but I also don’t hide the fact that I’m very successful. Having already started 11 businesses, I’ve proved everything I need to prove to myself. I have a great life, but I always want more.

My financial confidence comes from a place of authenticity. I’ve lost money, but I’ve made much more. Once you realise that making money is part of your DNA, everything else is just a matter of learning.

If making money is in your DNA, I’ll help you unlock the code. Whether you need help with debt management or your investment portfolio, I’ll assess your current situation, your abilities, your history, and your vision for the future before tailoring a financial wellbeing program just for you.

I want you to be more like me. I don’t give a s**t about what people think of me. I’m just too focused. I’m abrupt and to-the-point because I don’t have time for bu****it. I’m too busy making people and helping others do the same.

My Approach to Money Coaching

Other financial coaches might tell you how and where to invest. Some will focus on risk management and diversification. I focus on helping you look within yourself to find the answers to the most important question I’ll ever ask: Why aren’t you already making the kind of money you know you’re capable of making?

Whether you’re self-employed, a small business owner, or the CEO of a multinational, I can make a real difference to your relationship with money.

We’ll start by defining your vision. Do you want to be a millionaire? Do you want to make a passive income while you travel the world? Do you want to build an investment empire that will be your legacy for generations to come?

Once we have a vision in place, we can devise the goals that will get you there. Think of them as the stepping stones to your financial utopia! Richard Branson didn’t become the owner of his own space flight company overnight. He started with the goal of opening a small record shop in London. We’ll start by defining your goals.

With my support, you’ll then create a plan…a long-term strategy that will culminate in making your vision a reality. Finally, I’ll give you the tools and methodologies you need to ensure you make progress every day. This includes sessions on time management coaching, delegation, prioritising tasks, and all the other systems you’ll use on a daily basis.

The process I developed in my capacity as a career change coach also applies to money coaching. It’s predicated on the creation of a vision, accountability at all times, and creating a custom plan for long-term success. It’s called VISION GPS, and if you’d like to learn more about it, let’s talk!

Ready to Secure a Brighter Financial Future?

I’m not offering a safe space where you can explore your emotions. I’m offering you the tools and mindset you’ll need to improve your relationship with money. Your brighter economic future starts right here with an initial consultation. Book yours today, and make sure your finances deliver returns for a lifetime and beyond!

My Clients Say

Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I’ve become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.

Tina Patel – Lawyer

Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.

Peter Barnes – Entrepreneur

When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel… However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!

Ben C. – Business owner

Jake’s work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.

Neil Coker – Founder and CEO

The only thing I can say is a “huge thank you, Jake”! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn’t always easy, but it was worth it.

Denise Green – Peak Performance Coach

Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn’t brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.

Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!

Mary Larson – Doctor

Jake! The only thing I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You have changed my life for the better. Finally, I feel like I am alive. Thank you for showing me that I can do what I always wanted to do.

Romario Ramirez – Business owner, Speaker & Artist

Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I’m truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.

Steven P. – COO of a large corporation

Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place – second place is the first place among the last ones.

Shaun T. – Athlete

Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn’t waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let’s get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.

Matt – Investor

Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!

Jane Ho – Online Entrepreneur

I can highly recommend Jake and his excellence services. He helped, mentored me and coached me to take me and my business to the next level. And then another and another one. I can not thank him enough!

I have just one word to describe this guy: Phenomenal! Jake gave me the tools, insights, and courage to chase my real dreams. Thanks to life coaching with Jake, my life has changed dramatically! I am now on my way to realise my biggest dreams and goals. The techniques Jake has given me are life-changing. Jake is the best coach I have ever met.
