What People Are Saying
“Don is a wonderful coach. He is very professional and honest. Don helped me navigate the Ramsey Baby Steps and pointed me in the direction to invest my money for the future. I highly recommend Don Hickman.”
-Stephanie K., widow, South Ogden, Utah
“Coach Don has been a tremendous resource and help to our family. When we came to him, we didn’t know what to do. We only knew how bad things could become for us, financially. Coach Don showed us then what we have come to appreciate most throughout our times with him, strong compassion. That compassion was never judgmental about our situation. He combines his compassion with tested wisdom and guidance. We always felt mentored by someone who truly cared and was truly proud of how we would follow steps. It has been a great journey accomplishing our financial goals, having Coach Don help us along the way. We are very thankful we found him!”
-Chris and Danielle R., West Valley City, Utah
For the first time in my life, I feel free and optimistic about my finances and future. A woman in her late 50s, I am a successful small business owner and professional with an MBA. Sadly, I am now starting over after a failed 29-year marriage that left me terrified of budgeting and finances. Don became my financial coach helping me face my anxieties and setting up a spending plan in the EveryDollar App. He has been my kind, financial Sherpa. From sinking funds to mutual funds, he was there sharing knowledge and answering a lot of questions. It’s been three months and I’m no longer afraid. Instead, budgeting and investing for my future is fast becoming like a fun game, one I am now winning. Thank you, Coach Don and Ramsey Solutions!

Don and his wife Stacey have been married for over 34 years. They started at the bottom and climbed to the top, with a lot of life lessons learned along the way. Stacey often says: “If only we had actually budgeted all those years ago.” They are passionate about helping others succeed with their money and achieve their life’s purpose. There is nothing secret about their success with money. They communicate, they budget, they have zero debt (including the house), and they saved for retirement and their kid’s education. They’re in Dave Ramsey’s Baby Step 7 – they are living and giving the life they want.
Coach Don Hickman
At over 18,000 feet above sea level with Mt. Everest over his shoulder. Don spent five weeks above 15,000 feet in Nepal on a “bucket list” trip in 2012. Climbing mountains is important to Don – as is helping folks turn their financial stress into financial peace. In both cases we start at the bottom, to get to the top.
Don is trained and certified by Dave Ramsey as a Master Financial Coach. Don bases his coaching on his 34+ years of real-world experience as well as Dave Ramsey’s simple and effective plan – the 7 Baby Steps. There’s nothing secret about them – and they work every time if you actually follow the plan.
