What date do you have them imagine that they are “there” since there are multiple dates?

It’s usually a separate date for each, unless they combine the fund or pool of money for both, which is okay also.

If the customer doesn’t think of a tangible goal that should be considered, do you recommend that we continue to set goals until it’s identified or should we offer suggestions?

During the Goals Conversation™ a client asks me for some examples of typical and/or common goals people may have. I then answer, for example, some people want to buy a cottage, fund children’s education, retire at 55 etc. Should I provide these examples to provide clarity or not?

As I’m reviewing the Financial Road Map® Interview should I be taking notes on the details of the goals as they are talking about them? For example, the client is talking to each other about how much money they will need for a down payment and which neighborhood they may want to live in and how much they can expect to net from the sale of their current house and how they would get the additional funds needed from traditional loan, from family. Should I add that detail to my CRM? Use it to build the financial plan? Is there a difference if I’m listening only to improve my skills or listening because they hired me and am listening to make sure I “get it right for them”? Thoughts?

In my Financial Road Map® Conversations I find that my clients want to talk about the deck, car and the children’s education when I am trying to dig out their Core Values. I am not sure if I am making mistakes or just need to redirect them to their values. I am telling them that we will discuss the Goals in just a few minutes but need for them to go through the Values Conversation™.

In asking the question at the end of the Financial Road Map® interview about finding value in the map, do you set the price then and state it as yearly or just simply state the initial cost of putting it together?
