Four Steps to Your Future …

(our Secret Sauce)

Know Where You Are -

You have resources – your income, what you’ve saved so far … even budding business ideas, an inheritance or a passion you want to explore.

The first step of any good plan is to understand ALL of your resources – what they can do … and what they can’t do. We call this “Discovery” and we’ve perfected the process to be as quick and easy (without missing something) as possible.

Know Where You Want to Be -

“Wherever you go – There you are.” And where you are today is the sum result of all the daily decisions you’ve made to date.

But where do you want to be tomorrow? and the next day? and next year? and 10 years from now? Our process will help you understand that and all that it means to you.

A Plan Aligned with Your Values -

This is what separates ALTUS Wealth Solutions from most financial planning approaches.

A Financial Plan is about having a strategy to get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. But being motivated to take the steps necessary to IMPLEMENT that strategy?

That requires a strategy built around your values – the things in life that are most important to you. If it’s not important to you … you WON’T do it – anything in the plan, even the easy stuff. Clients are successful at implementing their plans only when those plans are values-based and delivered by someone who knows how to align your next step with Where You Want to Be.

Personalized Action Coaching -

The success of any plan depends on implementation. Even the best strategy is worthless without action.

The real value in the ALTUS Wealth Health approach is how I can help you implement your plan … with regular, short coaching calls/meetings focused on one Action Step at a time.

I want nothing more than for you to have success with your plan. I’ll draw on decades of training & experience as a Coach along with compassion and empathy for you as a person to make that happen.

Working with a Financial Advisor Should Be …

Simple -

Your money situation needs to make sense to you, not just your financial advisor. I believe the best financial advisor should want to make the complex world of personal finance simple and easy to understand … so you can feel in control of your money.

You have a life to live. Knowing just a few simple pieces of financial information can help you live it more effectively. You do NOT need a Masters in Personal Finance (although your financial advisor should definitely have one – and very few do).

Fun -
Working with a financial professional should be a positive experience – one you’ll want to repeat. It shouldn’t be based on pain, sacrifice or self-discipline. That might have worked in the old days but it’s no way to live a rich and fulfilling life.

This is probably the biggest mistake most financial advisors (and their clients) make and what separates the Wealth Health approach from everything else available.

Affordable -

Being strategic and intentional about your money is extremely powerful … but the cost of advice creates a drag on the gains you can realize by working with a financial advisor.

You can have a complete financial plan for as little as $300 ($50 a month for six months). That’s less than you likely pay each month for water, electricity or cell phone (equally essential parts of life).

 

Human -

You make dozens of financial decisions every day. They’re ALL important and they all directly affect the Quality of Life you get to enjoy.

I believe best financial advisor should with you on many levels, not just your investment portfolio.

Making a positive change in all those choices – improving cash flow, saving more, more thoughtful investments – requires the human touch. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have an advisor with years of training & expertise along with compassion and empathy for you as a person.
