Ford Financial Management
Helping you to Sleep Well At Night through solution-focused financial counseling - Our SWANSystem
What really is solution-focused financial counseling?
In a nutshell, we place minimal emphasis on your past problems and issues. Rather, we focus on your strengths and resources to build solutions. Instead of focusing on past failings, we focus on past successes. Solution-focused financial counseling is future-oriented.
Five main principles of our solution-focused financial counseling:
*If it’s not broken, don’t fix it
*If it works, do more of it
*If it doesn’t work, do something different
*Small steps lead to big changes
*Not every problem happens all the time. There are exceptions.
What we do at Ford Financial Management:
*Talk about your preferred future and how you want that to look
*Help you create goals that are in line with your preferred future
*Find your inherent skills and resources and how to use them
What we don’t do at Ford Financial Management:
*Dwell and place emphasis on your past financial problems
*Judge or criticize you for your past
*Tell you what to do. Rather, we come up with solutions collaboratively because you are the expert of your own life.
Clients seek financial help for a variety of reasons. But all of them know there is a problem that needs solving. Just the fact that they are aware of a problem means they can compare it to a time when there wasn’t a problem! Doing more of the same doesn’t tend to solve problems. Something must be done and must be done differently.
