I work in a structured way, to ensure consistency and efficiency, and to provide service excellence to my clients.
This means I know who I work best with, and the qualities and commitment required to deliver Sustainable Wealth. Sometimes, that means saying no to prospective clients because I don’t believe we’re a good fit or because I don’t believe I can help. Please don’t be offended if I can’t help you! It’s not a personal slight. Given I build long-term relationships with my clients over many years, it’s really important we can work together, we share similar values, and you are as committed as I am to Sustainable Wealth.
“Do or do not. There is no try.”
When a prospective client says they’ll ‘try’, I sigh inwardly. I know my time and energy will be spent chasing for several weeks, and this will be the sign of things to come. This is one of the reasons why we start with WhatsApp followed by a Discovery Call, to gauge commitment, because the moment you use the word try, you’re giving yourself a mental get out clause; you’ve already decided to fail.
I get you’re busy. I am too.
But ask yourself this: “Do you want me focused and fully committed to your Sustainable Wealth Blueprint™ and Action Plan, or distracted, spending valuable time chasing clients who ‘try’?
That’s why I don’t accept just anyone into my exclusive client club… it wouldn’t be exclusive if I did.
That doesn’t mean all my clients are super-wealthy, far from it, but it does mean they are super-committed. My clients range from Popstars to Plumbers, and the one thing they share is personal commitment to achieving and maintaining Sustainable Wealth. It’s not about how much money you have, but about your values and how much commitment you have.
Meeting and Communication
I am autistic; Aspergers to be precise. For me, this means I have non-negotiable communication preferences. You may find me direct and lacking in some aspects of neurotypical social etiquette. I consider this, and the ability to laser focus on complex problems, a particularly useful strength.
Please don’t be offended if I get straight to the point. Firstly, offence can only be taken, not given; it’s a choice to ‘feel’ offended. Secondly, I’m here to help you achieve Sustainable Wealth, and well, to be frank, it’s just who I am.
So, most of our work will be virtual, be that over Zoom, secure messaging, or telephone, and there’s good reason for it. I can’t espouse the importance of Sustainable Wealth when I’m contributing to global warming with unnecessary travel. It’s also far more secure, efficient, and planet-friendly to use electronic tools to gather information, hold meetings, and communicate, than it is to revert to old-fashioned paper and face-to-face meetings.
That doesn’t mean we’ll never meet in person, but it does mean most of our work will be virtual. That may not suit you and that’s okay. I wish you well.
