Scott and Bethany are financial advisers by trade and about 10 years ago they noticed that couples wanted information about planning for retirement… but they were also needing support through money disagreements.

They discovered that the “issue” was not about needing more money – it was about the fundamentally different ways that people perceive and manage money.

Scott & Bethany discovered that there are 5 money personalities… and every person has two: a primary and a secondary money personality.

Once these are identified, then Scott and Bethany can effectively assist couples in learning how to communicate in a way that alleviates many money-related disagreements… AND that knowledge can also help us raise money-empowered kids!

• What are the 5 Money Personalities?
• Why does having different primary/secondary Money Personalities cause conflict?
• How do the Money Personalities develop in us? Are we born with them? Do they change?
• How you can leverage Halloween to begin assessing your child’s Money Personalities! *I love this!*
• Ways that knowing your child’s Money Personality can help with preparing them for adulthood.
• Is it common for our kids to have the same Money Personality as one of their parents?
• How this knowledge could benefit your sales messaging.

Meg Brunson interviews online entrepreneur, special needs mom, and Facebook group expert, Chantelle Turner. 

Chantelle began her online entrepreneur journey shortly after having her first child. She was looking for a way to help cover her daughters medical bills due to complications at birth.

As she found ways to help her own daughter, she realized many other parents who have kids with special needs, were not getting the support they needed. With a desire to help these other parents, Chantelle founded her company; Stronger Mommy.

While building Stronger Mommy, Chantelle found and developed highly effective strategies that not only grew her Group and brand but revolutionized the way people grow and manage Facebook Groups. Those who adopt these strategies into their own Groups have seen massive growth both in their following and sales.

• Why Chantelle has stepped back from her Stronger Mommy Facebook Group - and created the Not Yet Notable Facebook Group
• How did she grow her Group so quickly, with so much engagement, and by only investing 15 mins per day into it?!
• Her strategy works for ALL businesses - you just have to tailor how you're using the Group based on your business. Listen to her break down how an agency should use it vs. a coach.
• Is it easier to start a new Group, or revive an existing "dead" Group that you started in the past?
• How you can leverage the Facebook algorithm to re-engage your Group quickly and easily --- without posting 12+ times per day! *GOLD*
• What are the first steps to creating your Group? Should you include your business name in your Group name?
• What questions should you be asking prospective Group members?
• Should you have "post approval" on? Or allow any Group members to post to your Group? And why!
• Chantelle's 7-day Group launch strategy - which can be done for NEW or REVIVED Groups!
• How to leverage Facebook Ads to grow a Facebook Group - it's a bit tricky!
• The sneaky way to retarget members of your Facebook Group in an Ad.
