b In beginning the Mastery Series™ 1, I am keenly aware of the power of the choice of words and their impact on the people we serve. Can you explain why we use the word REVENUE per client, in describing our ideal client profile and engagement terms?
b I have been running a "quarterback" model business for the last few years so hiring me to do what I’ve already been doing BUT much better shouldn’t even be questioned.

Do you have an outline of items recommended in the agreement or examples I can give my attorney to create one for me. AND should I use the Commitment to Hire part of the Financial Road Map® meeting to have them sign to commit?
b How do you use the Financial Road Map® and what are the transitions when the Fact Find is not thorough enough to necessarily complete the plan? Or, how do I incorporate another discovery meeting into your process? Do others do this?
b Many retired clients do not have debt or a need for additional life insurance or they are not insurable. How detailed should we get if the client has sufficient income to cover all living expenses and the only area we could assist with is their current investment portfolio.
