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.

b I was rehearsing my script, “Financial Road Map New or Referred Clients” with my wife as a pretend client. As we discussed the Goals Conversation™, and I asked her, “Let’s say you’re there, what are two or three words that describe what you’re thinking and feeling now that you’re there?” She responded that is sounded like I’m “selling her a timeshare.” As if I were a salesman. Do I just need more practice?
b During the Goals Conversation™ a client asks me for some examples of typical and/or common goals people may have. I then answer, for example, some people want to buy a cottage, fund children’s education, retire at 55 etc. Should I provide these examples to provide clarity or not?
b Is there a letter you use when sending out the Quality of Life™ Enhancer Exercise?
b What do you write in the "Where I Am Today" sections on the front of the Financial Road Map? If you are entering dollar amounts in the "Be" box,how are you calculating that from the info on the back of the Financial Road Map? Are you only calculating dollar amounts related to the 2 or 3 specific goals discussed?
b In my Financial Road Map® Conversations I find that my clients want to talk about the deck, car and the children’s education when I am trying to dig out their Core Values. I am not sure if I am making mistakes or just need to redirect them to their values. I am telling them that we will discuss the Goals in just a few minutes but need for them to go through the Values Conversation™.
