Today we’d like to introduce you to William Forkum.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I worked for 9 years as a machine operator between two different jobs.
I went to work to get paid like most of us do and nothing more.
Well,
After 7 years I started experiencing burnout and then year 9 hit and I was DONE.
Hard questions started to surface:
What am I called to do?
What was I created for?
Who am I in The Kingdom of God?
Forkum’s Financial Coaching was born after 6 months of Financial Coach Master Training with Ramsey Solutions in Nashville, TN.
And then we signed our first paid client just 2 weeks after graduation!
That was in 2023.
This year we transitioned from Forkum’s Financial Coaching to Forkum’s Fortitude Coaching.
We did this because the need for Life Coaching started to supersede the need for financial coaching.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Haha!
It’s been anything but a smooth road!
We’ve suffered through divorce, child custody battles, church rejection, family rejection, and questioning our faith.
Through it all,
We know that this is our calling and we are standing firm on Christ as our foundation.
As you know, we’re big fans of Forkum’s Fortitude Coaching. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Forkum’s Fortitude Coaching works with our clients to transition them from fear of failure to belief in the victory.
We utilize our 3-Part Framework with each one of our clients.
But before that, we find your WHY in that Introductory Coaching Session.
Everything stems from our WHY.
Without a strong WHY, when adversity hits we give up, give in, and fizzle out.
With a strong WHY, however, we stand up, lean in, and show out.
Our 3-Part Framework consists of:
-Your Vision Session
-Your Monster Goal Session (1 Year SMART Goal)
-Your Weekly or Monthly SMART Goals
But what are SMART goals?
We use the acronym SMART to bring the intuitive into the practical. We can dream all day long but without those practical moves, we are but dreamers.
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Sensitive
We offer a King of Kings 10 Mile Trek every weekend for others to join in honor of what King Jesus has done for us those 2 thousand years ago.
And for everyone who completes it, you all get Part 1 of our 3-Part Framework for no charge.
We want you to know that when implemented, our Framework works.
From our written testimonials to our video testimonials, our Framework is proven and will work for you.
What are your plans for the future?
The King of Kings 10 Mile Trek will be held every weekend at Key Park in Lafayette, TN. Follow us on social media to find out exact days and times.
Our vision is that we will grow FFC by 50 more paid clients by the end of 2026.
