Toward the end of the All the Money Conversation™ there's the following statement, "And there you have it. Any surprises so far?” What does the "it" refer to?

The client will decide what “it” refers to. And it doesn’t really matter whether they view the question from, only the All the Money Conversation™ or the entire Financial Road Map®.

b Is that flat Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue fee or % of net worth fee in addition to the 1% of AUM that I charge for their investments that we now manage?
b After completing the Financial Road Map® Interview with friends to help me get more experience, they decided to get a financial plan done. I relayed the cost of completing the plan, but not the cost of an on-going relationship (as I was unsure that was the best time to have that discussion being fairly new to the process). I am meeting them Saturday morning to have a pre-planning meeting. What is the best practice for inviting them into my Ideal Client community at this point and discussing the annual fee (I am thinking $10K...this would be my first Ideal Client invite)?
b Is the insurance listed on the Financial Road Map® in that order for a particular reason? If yes, should the insurance grid mirror this order? As I was putting together the grid, I realized it made it easier to quickly refer to them if they were in the same order - and not risk leaving something important out. What drove the choice of order for insurance on the Financial Road Map®?
b Clients agree to pay for their plan (and pay at the end of the first meeting) $5,500 to have their Implementation Plan written. My annual ongoing Ideal Client Fee is $11,800. Do I collect this (annual ongoing fee upfront) from them at the same first meeting or do I do it at Implementation Meeting?
b I want to create a concise answer to the question of what do we charge. You mention two things and I can't reconcile them. Either "set a Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue and honor it for all clients" or "use an annual fee of ____ % of their net worth or assets". These seem very different. I'm fine with charging an initial one-time separate $2500 fee for creating the plan. But on going do I charge a Predictable Minimum Annual Recurring Revenue or % of assets/net worth for the 10 deliverables/3 meeting annual on-going process.
