Step 1: Discovery Meeting
At our initial meeting, we conduct a discovery interview. This helps us identify the challenges you face in achieving all that is important to you. We examine your current situation, the goals you would like to achieve and how you and we can maximize the possibility of achieving those goals.
Step 2: Investment Plan Meeting
At this meeting, we present your diagnosis of your current situation and your recommendations for how we can bridge the gaps in order for you to reach your goals. This plan forms the foundation for all of our work together.
Step 3: Mutual Commitment Meeting
At this meeting, we are ready to make a mutual decision about whether my services can add substantial value and whether we should proceed. Should we both choose to work together, we commit to each other to work toward achieving everything that is important to you and your family. You and our team also execute the documents necessary to put your investment plan into motion.
Step 4: 45-Day Follow-up Meeting
When you have multiple investment accounts, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of paperwork you receive. At this meeting, we help you organize all that paperwork in a notebook that we provide. We also answer any questions you may have so that you understand exactly what is happening with your money.

If these changes mean that we need to make adjustments to your investment plan, we do so. We also review your overall progress toward your long-term financial goals. This meeting is also your opportunity to implement advanced planning recommendations that may be appropriate for your situation. We will present to you your advanced plan at your first Regular Progress meeting so that we can prioritize those areas of greatest importance to you and then begin to address them systematically.
