Many clients initially think they are seeing a Financial Planner to get a new super fund, establish life insurances or reduce their tax bill. Whilst these are some of the many ‘tactics’ we use, what they are really receiving is advice to facilitate their ‘why?’
According to Simon Sinek, your why is your “The compelling higher purpose that inspires us and acts as the source of all we do”. In the following table, I have collated some of the powerful ‘why’s’ I have encountered from past clients and demonstrated how our advice strategies have supported their ‘why’.
