It’s called projecting them into the future and it’s usually two answers in a loop, such as security and freedom.

Respond like this, “Let’s say that you are in a position where you have all the security and freedom you can imagine having… you are totally secure and completely free….. What’s Important About being in that position….To You?”

How do you recommend getting a client to answer specifically about what money means to them, rather than what money means in general?

One client responded to What's Important About… and said to, “Feed my dog.” I responded, “What's Important About… feeding your dog…To You? I asked and the steps were a waste as everything centered on the dog. How do I move on to something else that is important?

In a recent Phone Consultation™ I had the referral go all the way up the Values Staircase™ after which we continued halfway up the other one. While this was one of the more extreme number of steps, I do run out every now and then while on level 3. The Financial Road Map® tends to get a little messy as I draw additional steps to the staircase. What would be a practical way with finesse to continue without losing the flow of the conversation?

Can you please suggest an appropriate scripted reply, when my clients (often happens in the Values Staircase™ Conversation) ask me, "Are you a life coach or counselor?” I’m looking for a response that has a yes but we are also so much more impactful i.e. a wow factor that’s compelling, succinct and all about them.

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. How would you suggest I conduct this second meeting? For example, should I ask them to bring in all their documents again, update their Financial Road Maps, and go through commitment to hire outlining exactly what they get and what it costs to join the ideal client community and see where it goes?
