plans so that implementation follows naturally.
2. Prescriptive plans created for clients act as “proof statements” for your recommendations. Plans take time to assemble and are not an effective learning medium because, as adults, we learn experientially.
The following is a summary of the first two disadvantages of creating plans for clients.
1. Financial plans may not suit clients’ personal preferences: their values and financial attitudes—their money behaviour. Clients must feel comfortable with their
To take your financial-planning business to the highest level, you must rise above the technicalities of your business and connect with clients on a deeper level.
When clients have a clear vision and act intentionally, they can make meaningful changes and close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
Are your clients acting with intention?
Intention represents purpose, design, and a motivation that comes from within. A desire for a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, rather than external factors such as fear, should guide your clients' actions.
How do you know if your planning process includes all five ingredients?
Do your plans have clear and emotionally-motivating wants?
Do clients understand the reasons for the actions?
Do clients believe they can achieve their wants?
• If it’s a new relationship, clients may not feel comfortable providing you with highly personal data.
• A question must be included for everything the software can model. But lengthy questionnaires immediately create client resistance.
There are a few reasons why questionnaires are a major impediment in the planning process.
• When placed at the beginning of the process, clients are not motivated to complete them.
Questionnaires are a major impediment in the planning process and the main reason clients abandon it.
Clients always see questionnaires as an unwanted and unpleasant task.
You can't build a fine cabinet with an axe. You need the right tools.
Similarly, you can't build plans that clients believe in with simplistic retirement-planning software.

For example, consider clients who have a child with a disability. That child’s well-being is the most important priority for them and so they’ve established an RDSP. VisionWorks can include it in their plan.
Because of this dynamic approach, VisionWorks moulds its entries to your client’s dreams—you model their vision, their way. The ability to reflect real-life changes over time is essential for clients’ belief in output.
Inviting clients to create their vision of life poses a major challenge for planning software: it must be completely open ended, and it must mould to each client’s unique vision.
