It doesn’t matter how they phrase it. Remember, it’s THEIR Values Staircase™. Some people will think of a couple of their answers this way. Ie: not having to worry about paying my bills, but they seldom answer every question this way and, in my experience which encompasses thousands and thousands of Values Conversations™, they never end negative.

b I have conducted Financial Road Maps with a few clients approximately 1 year ago. I did NOT ask them to join my Ideal Client Community at the time as I did not feel they could afford my Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue and / or they did not have enough assets. They are currently survival clients. I would like to ask them to come in again to update their Financial Road Maps and at the same time ask them to join our ideal client community as I have more clarity around their income and feel they could now pay my Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue.

In the Financial Road Map® conversations for existing clients, how do you approach the financial independence stage as these clients are already retired living off their investments? Just wondering how this fits in for this type of client as it looks more like the Financial Road Map Interview™ is for clients who are not there yet.
b On your CD Financial Road Map™ interview with Barbara and Justin, you said more than once, “You’ve said a couple things here”, are you putting each point on a separate line or combining for one line?
b Some people were analytical during the Values Conversation™ and it made them very uncomfortable. They felt under pressure to be "touchy feely". I would get the response, “What do you mean What Is Important About Money To Me?” Every response was factual as to what it would buy. Would you just politely move on to the goals section? They liked setting some goals but didn't identify with the "What are one or two words that describe what you are thinking/feeling..."
