I have worked with many of my existing clients for several years and when we first met I conducted a Values Conversation but did not continue through the remaining parts. Now I am having discussions with these people by the Old World/New World™ Conversations. My question is do I do a completely new Financial Road map® from start to finish or do I start from their old staircase of answers. Understand most of these clients had the Values Conversation over 5 years ago.

b A number of my clients do not involve their spouse in the financial decision making to the point where the husband (typically) wants to be the only one present. While I recognize that this process is more about values than it is about finances, the husband refuses to let the wife attend because she isn't involved in that type of decision making. Should I insist that both spouses be there knowing that the husband won't 'open up' if the wife is there?
b Can I do a Financial Road Map® in a group setting?
b I have an existing client worth a million dollars (Richard Clarke) who has not been introduced to Old World/ New World™ yet. He could potential be an ideal client and I plan on doing a Financial Road Map®. I was previously trained by CEG Worldwide John Bowen and company. He would like me to manage his mothers’ million dollars and before doing so his sister would like to meet me prior to them hiring us. This opportunity occurred before I starting training in the Values-Based Financial Planning™ program. Can you please provide some insight and perhaps an agenda of things that you might discuss in this initial meeting with the sister? My goal would be to do Financial Road Map® meetings with the whole family. I’m interested in hearing your thought process regarding this scenario. The meeting is in the client’s home. I understand the meetings should be at my office and in the past Richard comes to see me at my office. He asked me to do him a favor and have a cup of coffee with him at his home since his sister was in town and staying with him. The mother and sister both live in Arizona. The mother has 1 million liquid and the sister has around 16 million liquid.
b I do not have a securities license as of yet. I only have Life and Health at this time. How can I use the Values Conversation™ and the Financial Roadmap® with just having these licenses?
b My RIA Financial Plan Contract specifies the delivery of a written financial plan that addresses certain specified areas. Implementation is totally separate and not included with the plan. I am having problems reconciling what I am now learning, with the requirements of my RIA (including a "complete" plan with recommendations). What do you recommend as a temporary "bridge' between the two approaches? (Note: both are "values based", they just go about it differently).
