Mission Statement:
To foster financial health and independence in the world through working with individuals and groups to raise their financial intelligence, accountability, investing courage and the enjoyment of their money and their lives.
Debra Russell started learning to be responsible about money at an early age. “My mother put me on a budget when I was 11.” Debra learned to balance a ledger at the ripe old age of 12. “I’ve found that people look at money with so many beliefs and ideas, memories and emotions that run beneath the surface. As a result their experience managing money isn’t clean. It isn’t simple. It’s often filled with inaccuracies, misconceptions and fear. And it gets in their way of living their lives fully.”
Debra has been a Certified Life Coach for over 3 years. She was trained and certified by Results Coaching Systems of Australia in autumn of 2001. Since that time she has coached more than 50 clients who report a better than 90% goal achievement rate. Although, Debra’s clients come from many walks of life, including small business owners, entrepreneurs and those working in all aspects of the entertainment industry, she has found money to be a common fundamental issue irregardless of their financial status. And through her work with them, they have discovered that money can flow freely, with abundance, and that they can actually enjoy the process of managing their finances.

Here’s what some of my clients have to say:
My deepest desire is to have my goals of performing fulltime and home ownership to support each other. In the coaching, the goal we set was "A foundation for home ownership."
As a result of three ˝ hour sessions, I was able to:
get a clearer picture of my actual financial situation,
purchase and implement a software accounting program that lets me easily download and track my accounts online,
input several years worth of financial information,
improve my credit by taking Debra's advice about changing to a lower interest credit card, and
create a framework for better decision making that can lead me to my goal.
I have since met with a realtor who is helping me to get qualified for a mortgage and start looking. All that in just three sessions! Debra was great to work with, a very high level of integrity and professionalism, plus a lot of good ideas on a wide range of subjects. Someday soon I will come home from touring to my very own home!

I would like to thank Debra Russell for being my coach. I set 3 very lofty goals and all of them were achieved to my satisfaction. I went from not understanding how to start a business to creating a business plan and identifying expert mentors to aid in my business designs. Through Debra's encouragement and structured methods, I was able to increase my financial control and education to the point where my goal for creating a small passive income was met. Without Debra, I would still be floundering in my unemployed and undirected state rather than making progress toward the goals that are based upon my values.

Hi Debra, I have really been left with a glow since our coaching completed. I am stepping into a bigger self and into magic and miracles. It is taking something - my pettiness and humanity are wrestling with me constantly it seems - but I really feel that this is the most beautiful place to be and I feel so joyful and blessed with my life. I love who I am being and where I am. Thank you for your part in this, which was huge. What you did for me around boundaries was so powerful and a completely new way of being for me that is the opening for the power I always wanted. So know what you have provided in the world and know that you made a difference in how the rest of my life will go and what I will in turn be able to provide for the world. Lots of love
