If you're going to become or remain financially free you need to get a decent return from your money.

​

So how do you make sure that your money will keep growing even as you spend it? Pile up money in Deposit Accounts? Feels safe, but the returns are terrible. Stocks and Shares? Potentially great returns, but it feels risky and unpredictable. Investing in Property? Sounds attractive, but there's a lot of work involved and taxes to pay.

 

Nothing's quite right. So what to do? Fortunately, there is a way out of this dilemma - make a plan and stick to it. The first thing you need to do is to get really clear about what you want to achieve. When you know where you're going, the best route forward becomes clear. That's why the first thing we'll do is to have a conversation with you about what's important to you. 

 

Very few people take the time to really consider their objectives, analyse the resources they have available and create a step-by-step plan of action to turn those goals into reality. Why is this? Well, the reason is not hard to understand. Creating a comprehensive, written financial plan is difficult. There's a lot to think about and it requires a fair degree of specialised knowledge, especially if your affairs are complex.

 

But it also stands to reason that going through this exercise is likely to have a massive impact on the chances of successfully achieving your goals. After all, you wouldn't set off on holiday without having a clear idea of where you were going and exactly how you were going to get there. So why not take the same approach to running your life?
