Sometimes a response to a What’s Important About…To You? question is a story or an example, but no value words are used. What do you write down?

You don’t have anything to write down, so you say something like, “Thank you for sharing that story with me. And (asking the question much more slowly…) What’s… Important… About… the last answer… To You?

When conducting the Values Conversation™ with a couple, what should you do when they consistently interact with each other? For example in working with the husband, the wife would interject something. I reminded her that we would get to her shortly, that this was a discussion with the husband. The husband would then answer and confer with the wife or otherwise engage her. When it was the wife’s turn, the same thing happened, a lot of back and forth conversations. I would repeatedly steer them back but it was like herding cats. What is the suggestion for making it clear that it is a separate conversation for each of them?

How do you respond to a client who, during the Values Conversation™ of the Financial Road Map® Interview, keeps saying, "I'm not sure where we are going with this"? Is this a sign that I should disengage? If so, how?

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?

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™.

What happens if a client gets stuck on a Level 1 answer or repeats themselves?
