It's not about working harder or being more disciplined. It's about building a system that works even when you don't."I make good money — but I'm not getting ahead."
Financial coaching for people who make good money and are ready to finally get ahead.
Sound familiar? I give you the system, habits, and behaviors to stop breaking even and start building wealth.
You're not broke.
You're not reckless.
You’re stuck in a cycle…
Earn> Spend> Ambush Expense> Stress> Promise> Repeat
There's nothing wrong with you.
The system taught you how to earn, spend, and borrow.
Nobody ever taught you what to do with it.
That's not your fault.
There's just a system missing.

GAIN CLARITY, CONTROL, AND BUILD THE LIFE YOU WANT WITH YOUR MONEY
Earn. Spend. Ambush Expense. Stress. Promise. Repeat…
Life happened. Nobody taught you this.
You've been building the car while driving down the highway, wondering why it keeps breaking down.
Maybe you're a couple doing everything right on paper but still fighting about money at the end of the month.
Maybe you're doing this completely alone, exhausted from carrying it all by yourself. From pretending everything is fine.
You're not bad with money. Nobody ever gave you the system.
Willpower is like a battery, it runs out. A system doesn't.
That ends here.
I know exactly where you are.
Because I've been there.
I have a finance degree. I earned my ChFC® designation. I spent years on Wall Street. I had more knowledge about money than most people will ever need.
And I still didn't have control of my own.
Not because I was in trouble. Because I had no operating system. I was winging it, reacting to money instead of directing it. And when I finally figured that out, everything changed.
It had nothing to do with knowledge. It was never about the knowledge. It was always about the habits, the behaviors, and the system.
After 25 years working with hundreds of people who make great money and still felt behind, I can tell you: the problem is never them. It's that nobody ever built them an operating system for their money.
I've made and seen a lot of mistakes. Smart people learn from their own. Really smart people learn from other people's mistakes.
That's why I do this work.
"I'll figure it out" isn't in the personal finance handbook.
So I didn't walk away from the industry. I chose to be the solution

A Simple Plan That Makes it Easy For You To Get Results
At Progress Solutions, I walk you through a simple four-step process—refocus, gain control, set a plan, and follow through—so you have a clear money system and someone in your corner to keep you accountable.
REFOCUS
Get clear on your why
Before we touch a single number we get clear on what you actually want. We build out your why — what success looks like for you specifically, what's been getting in the way, and what you've already tried. We do a full cash flow triage and start separating needs from wants.
Hope. Clarity. And a reason to keep going.
Gain Control
Budgeting methods that actually fit how you live. Decision making frameworks. Insurance, retirement plans, employee benefits, we make sure you understand what you have and what you need.
We set up the structure for how you communicate about money, weekly check ins, monthly budgeting meetings, and a healthy framework for money conversations that don't turn into arguments.
And if you have children, we talk about how to teach them what you were never taught. The habits. The values. The principles.
Because when you change your relationship with money you don't just change your life. You change your whole family tree.
Set a Plan
By this point you have the knowledge. Now we build the roadmap. When are you going to do it? What exactly? In what order? How will you know it's working? We get specific, take action, and complete things one at a time.
Get in. Get out. Move the needle. Complete something. Move to the next.
Follow through
Ongoing coaching provides a healthy push so you will maintain and increase your momentum.
Accountability. Check-ins. Adjusting your why when life calls for it. Finally getting around to the things you've been meaning to do for years — setting up a will, revising beneficiaries, optimizing your savings.
Accountability is the glue that ties commitment to results. This is where the system becomes a way of life.
It starts with one conversation. No judgment. No pressure. Just clarity.
YOUR PATH FORWARD
THE JOURNEY
No one goes straight to the summit. Every climber starts at the bottom.

Bi-weekly coaching sessions for the remainder of 3 months

THE ASCENT — GROWTH AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Ongoing | By Invitation Only

A monthly coaching session up to one hour
Fire sessions for when life throws something at you
Unlimited access to Connor — email, text, and phone
You've got this. Let's keep going.
"Looking for a self-guided option? Check out the MoneyClarity Workbook."
Get Intentional. Take Control. Make Progress.
“You’ve tried budgeting apps, spreadsheets, and cutting back, but you’re still asking, ‘Where did all my money go?’ I know what it’s like for money to feel stressful and intimidating, and I sit with smart, successful people every day who feel behind with their money—so if that’s you, you’re not alone. You’re not lazy—you just need a clear system, a guide, and some accountability.”.
Imagine what life could look like on the other side...
Not someday. Not when you make more money. Not when things slow down.
6 months from now…
You wake up and everything has changed about money. You have a system. You have a plan. And for the first time in as long as you can remember, you trust yourself with money.
The ambushes are gone. Christmas isn't a surprise anymore. The car repair doesn't send you into a spiral. The vacation gets paid for before you ever pack a bag.
Crises have become inconveniences.
You're not winging it. You're not lying awake at 2am making promises to yourself you're not sure you can keep.
You have peace of mind.
If you're a couple, you're not fighting about money anymore. You're on the same team finally. Speaking the same language. Working toward the same goals. The tension that used to live in every money conversation has been replaced by something you didn't expect.
Teamwork.
If you're doing this alone, you're not alone anymore. You have someone in your corner who knows your name, knows your story, knows your why, and picks up the phone when life throws something at you.
Because you're not carrying it by yourself anymore.
And your kids? They're learning what you never learned. The habits. The values. The principles. The cycle that ran through your family for generations
Ends with you.
This is what's possible. Not someday.
Now.
A real emergency fund, once and for all
No more money fights, no more avoidance
Finally having money to show for all your hard work
No more playing "whack a mole" with your bills
A plan that works even on your worst week
Clarity, control, and confidence with every dollar you earn
Not feeling embarrassed or overwhelmed about money
Being proactive instead of reactive
A system that runs even when life gets loud
Finally feeling ahead instead of behind
Peace of mind you didn't think was possible
No more “winging it” every month
Knowing what to do next
Real results Real people. Real peace of mind.
“For the first time in my life, I see a way forward that doesn’t involve credit cards or debt. And if something happens, as it always does, I can rely on myself and my own savings. It’s an amazing feeling. I only wish I reached out sooner”
“The clarity we have gained from working with Connor has spilled over into other areas of our life. Our communication within our marriage has improved, our goals and dreams have come into focus, and for the first time we see a brighter financial future for ourselves”
“I no longer have anxiety over bills. I can now rest easy knowing that I am capable of successfully managing my finances. It’s such a relief to have that peace of mind. I only wish I reached out to him sooner”

I’m here to help you
Connor Tyson, ChFC ® Money Coach
Owner/Founder-Progress Solutions
If you've made it this far, something here resonated.
You don't have to figure this out alone. I've sat with hundreds of smart, hardworking people who felt exactly where you are right now. Not because they were bad with money. Because nobody ever built them a system.
That's exactly what I'm here for.
DON’T STAY STUCK
You've been winging it long enough.
Every month you wait is another month in the same cycle.
The stress doesn't go away on its own. The ambushes keep coming. The paycheck keeps disappearing. And the gap between where you are and where you want to be keeps getting wider.
Without a system, life's biggest moments — a career change, a house purchase, a divorce, an empty nest, retirement… arrive without a foundation underneath them.
One conversation won’t cost you anything. Waiting might
It starts with one conversation. That’s it.
