Discovering Your Story:
Goal Planning

Let’s get to know you!

Our first step together is a one-hour meeting where we’ll focus on your story. Ideally, we’ll meet face to face. Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Your Goals & DreamsWe’ll dive deep into understanding what you want to achieve—both financially and emotionally. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about what will bring you happiness and peace of mind.
  • The Big PictureI’ll gather key details about your current assets, income, and lifestyle to create a clear picture of where you stand today, helping you feel confident about your starting point.
  • Your JourneyThis meeting is all about you—how you got here, what you enjoy, and what makes you happiest. Together, we’ll align your financial goals with your personal aspirations.
  • Expenditure insightsUsing a simple form, we’ll break down your spending into essentials and luxuries, so we can identify areas for potential savings or improvements. This process brings clarity to your spending habits, providing both financial and emotional relief.
  • Personalised ReportAfterward, I’ll prepare a report that outlines your goals, supported with visuals to help you stay motivated and on track, offering you the emotional reassurance that you’re on the right path.

Understanding
what you already have

Let’s take stock of where you are today

In this step, we’ll have a thoughtful discussion about your current financial situation. We’ll focus on:

  • Your Assets & LiabilitiesWe’ll review what you already own and any debts or commitments you might have, giving you a sense of financial clarity and control.
  • Existing PoliciesIf you’ve already put some financial plans in place, we’ll discuss how they fit with your goals. This discussion also ensures you have the emotional support to feel secure in your decisions.
  • Cashflow ClarityI’ll create a Cashflow Report to show you exactly where you stand today and what your future could look like with additional planning. This visual representation not only helps with financial planning but also provides the emotional comfort of seeing a clear path forward.
