"I make good money — but I'm not getting 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. There's just a system missing.
It's not about working harder. It's about building a system that works even when you don't.
Financial coaching for people who make good money and are finally ready to stop the cycle.
You didn't resign yourself to this.
Life just moved faster than your plan.
Somewhere along the way hope quietly slipped out the back door. Not all at once. Just slowly — month after month of the same cycle.
Maybe you're a couple doing everything right on paper but still fighting about money. Still putting the vacation on the card because your kids deserve the memory even if you can't really afford it right now.
Maybe you're doing this completely alone — exhausted from carrying it all by yourself. From pretending everything is fine. From waiting on the next bonus to fill the gaps.
Whether you're navigating this as a couple or carrying it completely alone — you've been winging it long enough.
You're not a statistic. You're not bad with money. You're not behind because you did something wrong.
You're here because nobody ever gave you the system. And you've been winging it ever since.
Willpower runs out. A system doesn't.
That ends here.
Earn. Spend. Ambush Expense. Stress. Promise. Repeat

Your Guide
I know exactly where you are.
Because I've been there myself.
I grew up watching money create stress in my home. My father was brilliant, built something of his own , but when the recession hit, things got hard. At a young age I realized: There is something to this money thing. Money has real power over people's lives.
My father was brilliant. Successful. A risk consultant who left corporate and built something of his own. But when the recession hit, things got hard. I watched my parents navigate that stress and at a young age I remember thinking: there is something to this money thing. It has real power over people's lives.
That moment stayed with me.
I made a decision. I was going to figure this out. I studied everything — interest rates, the stock market, the treasury, how wealth actually works. I studied everything. Got a finance degree. Earned my ChFC® designation. Landed a job on Wall Street.
And one day I looked down and had over $60,000 in debt.
That was my oh sh*t moment. Because I realized something that changed everything:
It had nothing to do with knowledge. I had all the knowledge in the world. It was never about the knowledge. It was always about the habits, the behaviors, and the system.
So I did what I now tell every client to do. I found people who actually had it figured out people who lived within their means, saved proactively, had a written money plan, and had clear values and ground rules around money. I studied them. I emulated them.
And it worked…After 25 years I've seen a lot of people's mistakes. Smart people learn from their own. Really smart people learn from other people's mistakes.
"I'll figure it out" isn't in the personal finance handbook.
After 25 years in the financial industry I couldn't ignore what I kept seeing. Advisor after advisor selling products and services as band-aids to people who didn't have the basic foundation in place. Nobody teaching the fundamentals. Nobody addressing the habits. Nobody compensated to solve the real problem.
So I didn't walk away from the industry. I chose to be the solution
3 STEPS TO GET STARTED TOWARDS FINANCIAL FREEDOM
SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION TO SEE IF WE ARE A GOOD FIT
HAVE A FINANCIAL COACHING ASSESSMENT CALL TO SEE HOW I CAN HELP YOU
GAIN CLARITY, CONTROL, AND CONFIDENCE WITH EVERY DOLAR YOUR EARN
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.
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 plan, 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 planned — and 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 sleep.
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.
Unity.
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.
One conversation is all it takes to find out if we're the right fit.

Connor Tyson, ChFC ® Money Coach
Owner/Founder-Progress Solutions
I completely understand. It feels like you are building the car driving down the highway. Trying to figure it out as you go along. No one showed you how to properly deal with money. I’ve been there and done that. I am not going to judge you. I have my own story with money mistakes, debt, guilt, shame, frustration, scared out of my mind.
I have spent over 25+ years guiding people with a degree in Finance and as a Chartered Financial Consultant. Regardless of the amount of income people made, I kept seeing the same things over and over again. The same things I did in the beginning of my journey. I realized it not about the knowledge, I had all the knowledge you could want or need about money. It’s really about the habits and behaviors. Accountability and follow through and celebrating progress along the way.
DON’T STAY STUCK
Without a trusted guide, your money will keep controlling your life — instead of you controlling it.
In just a few months, you stop guessing and reacting and start telling your money where to go on purpose every month. You gain clarity, control, and confidence with every dollar you earn

If nothing changes… nothing changes.
