New Retirement Planning Tools!
View all main articlesWe’re excited to announce the addition to two new retirement planning tools available to all MQ Partnership levels. The Wheel of Retirement and the Visualize My Retirement can be found in the “Common Situations - Ongoing Clients” section of our MQ Materials Directory under “Retirement Planning."
It is common for clients to have a vague idea of some of the activities and endeavors they would enjoy in retirement, but most have not had the opportunity to think deeply about this transition. You can provide immense value to your client by offering a structure that will guide their thought process to developing a vision of an ideal retirement that will bring a sense of fulfillment. Look to the newly updated Issue Driven Implementation Guide and Chart for our suggestions on how to best structure these conversations with your client.Community Updates

If you want a single tool to be the focus of every client meeting, make it Key Elements. During your initial Client Engagement following the Fundamentals of True Wealth process, all of the insights from every meeting and every tool can be placed into Key Elements. It is the ultimate deliverable from an initial engagement!
You can review Key Elements with clients at the beginning of future meetings to remind them of the financial strategies they are working to accomplish. This will engage the emotional brain, help them remember the excitement they felt, and engage them at a higher level for the rest of the meeting. It allows them to share changes to any of their goals or priorities to keep everyone on the same page.
