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?

I frequently work with wealthy widows. They are not part of a couple, nor are they looking to begin a relationship. Is there a version of the Financial Road Map® that has one Values Staircase™ or do you have any advice on how to effectively handle this situation the best way possible?

I set up an Financial Road Map Interview™ with a client but the appointment, in his mind, is going to be like our previous appointments. It seemed jarring to him to launch into the Values Conversation™. He told me, very nicely, that his mind wasn't geared to think that way for this appointment and he really couldn't think of anything to say. I told him there were no wrong answers and that this was a fun exercise. We tried again and he was still stumped. I set it aside but wanted to know if there was a more graceful exit to the process and a better way to prep my potential clients other than that I am upgrading my business model, etc.?

Why do you start with the person who doesn't volunteer first for the Values Conversation™?

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?

I know that I shouldn't prompt for an answer when I ask, "What's Important About Money......To You?" However, do you have any suggestions on "alleviating" the client's "anxiety"? Also do you think this is because of their experience (or lack of experience as it pertains to planning) or is it my Way of Being™?
