When a client has more than 3 goals, you can just draw an additional box on the Financial Road Map™ or use the extra goals shield stickers that you can purchase from us. During the planning process additional action items may come up that may or may not be goals. eg: It may become apparent that they need more insurance of some kind. Having more insurance isn’t really a goal, it’s an action item to be addressed that protects the plan and increases the probability the goals will be achieved. The key is that everything necessary to actualize their FRM gets addressed.
