I see in the Progress Meeting agenda for the Goal Progress Outlook meeting that the client can be given the Quality of Life™ Enhancer exercise as homework. I am MORE under the impression that this exercise should be done in person and administered by me. Why does it refer to the Quality of Life™ enhancer exercise as homework? Am I missing something?

I agree. I would do the Quality of Life™ enhancer exercise as an interactive exercise facilitated by you. Mark Little creates the agendas for the Progress Meetings. You might ask him what his process and thinking is for this.

Until you are consistently.... like for 20 weeks in a row... having 15 - 20 hours a week of Client Acquisition time on your calendar AND HONORING IT I recommend that you don't even think about the Quality of Life™ enhancer exercise.

In what situations do I use the 2-Page Business plan with a Non-Ideal Client?

What is your expectation of the amount of increased revenue a Trusted Advisor should have achieved by their first Academy as part of the Ideal Life Evaluation Program?

Even with the question of "What’s the biggest benefit of the Financial Road Map®" and who you want to give that gift to, I still receive the response, “All my friends have an advisor.” What do I say then?

I completed a Financial Road Map® with this gentleman and his wife. He loved the experience and was very excited to go ahead and have us create an action plan. We requested additional information needed to complete the plan. I then received this email (see below). How would you respond? Thanks. Morning, Michele and I had the opportunity to sit down with an investment adviser yesterday and discovered that Optimal Performance is not only an investment company but also a financial planning firm. Embarrassing for me, as we have worked with Diane for over five years and she has helped us manage a myriad of financial challenges over that time. To realize that I have not fully taken advantage of her years of experience her expertise was "uncomfortable" to say the least. That said, Michele and I have decided not to continue moving forward with Ideal Life and re-engage Diane since we are already paying for that service. Additional, I am sure you can appreciate that we do not want to put our relationship with Diane in jeopardy especially after she has been a cornerstone for us. I have reviewed our chequing account and as of Friday, our cheque has not been processed and we would ask that it does not happen. We are prepared to pay a small fee for the work to date (including the Value-Based book) and will issue another cheque to cover that amount. I can have that available when I come to pick up our binder. As you witnessed, we were ready to make the move to see the plan and realize this a disappointing news however this is the right thing for us and aligns with the values we hold true.

Do we set a fee and then reduce it for what we collect in advisory fees (% AUM )and then bill the difference?
