Mini Money & ME!

How long is the Money & ME program?  That is one of the questions I get asked on a regular basis, and the answer has always been “six hours.”   That could be six “one hour sessions” two “three hour sessions,” three “two hour sessions, or one “six hour” session.  This flexibility gives organizations the opportunity to implement in a manner that works for them.  This past year, the Director of the Farmington Library in Farmington, New Mexico contacted me and asked if I could do a “Mini Money & ME” program in 90 minutes. I was challenged to deviate from the six hours, and I was hesitant to do so.  The six hour program has information related to feelings and boundaries with money.  There are discussions on “How to change a habit, Smart shopping tips, and Other ways to be successful.” I spent time looking at all the content of the program and the length of time to teach and what information would be the absolute minimum in a money management information session.  I came up with the following to fit into a 90 minute session:

I have now taught three of the “Mini Money & ME” programs, and it has been a HUGE success. I adjusted the flow and PowerPoints accordingly and actually surprised myself.  I didn’t think it was possible to have such an impact in a short period of time.  As I was driving back to Albuquerque (a three hour drive), I called trainers that had been teaching Money & ME for several years.  They were  super excited too!  One of the trainers said  the time factor has become a huge issue.  People are so busy they don’t have six hours to devote to learning about managing their money.  However, they are interested in 90 minutes.  I am excited to share more about this new “Mini Money & ME” program.  Please join me this week for the Money & ME Collaboration Google meet. I will be sharing details regarding the cost and how you can do a “Mini Money & ME.”  There will be trainers who have been teaching for several years, and new trainers coming together to ask questions.  It will be this Thursday, December 12, 2024 at:
